  • 5 to 15GB per month. I work a job out of office/home, so I am almost never on wifi. My plan is 60GB though so I just stopped thinking about it a long time ago. Even being out of town in hotels streaming YouTube and Jellyfin I have never gone over 20GB.

    Before this job I had 250MB and almost never hit it, only using carrier rewards to get extra data during travel months.

  • Another confirmed bug caused some systems to fail to shut down properly after installing the update. According to Microsoft, a separate fix has been issued to resolve the shutdown issue on certain Windows 11 builds.

    So they fixed it a month ago after breaking it years ago and almost immediately break it again? lol

  • The quality has held despite a drop in users.

    I feel like I'm going mental over here because this has not been my experience. The quality has always been spotty, but the last few months I've noticed more and more posts linking to awful "news" rags or no source at all. Worse, I rarely see people questioning the lack of quality information, simply gobbling it up because it aligns with their world view. Plus 70% of the comments on this platform could be generated by a classic r/subredditsimulator style bot and nothing would change; the same 5 points about AI, capitalism, and Linux are made in every thread in the exact same style every day.

    And yes I'm mostly talking about news communities because Linux comms are usually fine but repetitive and while I'd love to interact with non-news content there just... isn't much being made.

  • In North America, the point is to be your main method of transportation. Work, groceries, friends, all require cars to get there in a reasonable time frame. Yes there are longer trips, and personally I would not feel comfortable with a 200km max range, because the nearest large towns are upwards of that already. But for those that rarely leave their cities, you could make it work, especially if your spouse had a gas / longer range car. Seems fine for a city car.

    (still upvoted you because NA-centric discussion gets old)

  • It doesn't have to be, but by nature of anyone being able to spin one up, people will end up on hobby instances.

  • Traditional social media is run for-profit and thus has an incentive to keep their website online as much as possible to keep their company alive by gaining users and revenue. And I would bet they do have backups. Hobby websites like fediverse projects often are can be run by any flaky nobody that can have varying motives and varying data retention practices.

  • In this nazi analogy it would be less of buying chairs and more the nazis giving away chairs for free that come with blueprints so if the nazis started installing spikes in their chairs people can just build their own from the blueprints, they just choose not to because it's a lot of work. Which is fine if you don't want those chairs, but a lot of people are fine with those chairs as long as the nazis don't start any camps.

  • Contribute to or make my own open source project. I dabble right now, but I just don't have the time to polish up my projects for public release or to learn an unknown codebase...

  • Seconded! They changed channel name to Jay and Mark now though, but it's the same great content.

  • I'd be inclined to blame the restaurant for that one. The designer would normally be making it for print, in which case higher quality is better. If the restaurant wants a digital menu, they should ask for that.

  • Just skip to the point and make it 1 day

  • Ah yes, people slow down near cops for the love of the game, not because they're afraid of a ticket or jail time.

  • I believe that's the joke, but I'm glad someone explained this for those that don't know.

  • Sadly most of those older YouTube videos have been run through multiple re-compressions and look so much worse than they did at upload. It's a major bummer.

  • For anything more than a short walk I always grab: Water bottle (or 2), hand sanitiser, wallet, phone, and keys. I don't like being thirsty.

  • Gotta say I'm surprised to see Spotify adding something people actually want. It must be getting rough for them.

  • Same table aligned to cents for easier reading.

  • And America, and Asia, and etcetera... :( maybe Antarctica is still chill though?

  • AI lovers should grieve their lost brain cells.

  • You can survive three weeks without food. But, many people have gone for over 40 days during fasting and have survived.

    I dread to think what state your body is in by that point, it has to be consuming itself to keep going.
