🤔 is it considered piracy if you’re downloading a copy of something you already own?

I used a mini PC (from Minisforum) for my home server for a while. It worked great— until it didn’t. It just suddenly shut off forever without any warning signs or anything. No signs of life. I confirmed that the power supply and memory were fine. The only option is to find a replacement motherboard (and CPU/GPU since it’s an APU soldered onto the motherboard).

I ended up just building a PC to replace it. I don’t recommend a mini PC for this purpose.

Yes, and all of their roast levels are darker than what you’d get from most specialty roasters

That wasn’t about dark roasts, that was about Starbucks’ coffee and roast. There’s a big difference. Starbucks goes darker than most specialty roasters’ dark roasts.

Also, “burnt rubber” notes often come from robusta coffee. Robusta is cheap, easy to grow, and has a long shelf life. The darker it’s roasted, the less it tastes like burnt rubber^[1]. But Starbucks claims that they use 100% arabica. If true, then it’s almost impressive that they made it taste like that.

Prioritizing “experience” over coffee itself is not new for Starbucks. Even before the $9 price tag, their prices far exceeded their (low quality) coffee because they’re selling the experience.

Coffee roasters sometimes refer to them as “Charbucks.”

Three consecutive dog photos in my Lemmy feed! I think is is the most positivity I’ve ever seen on Lemmy. Thank you for this one 🙂

If it really gets that good that everyone needs to use it, I can just ask AI how to use AI like a pro.

As a pro who is forced to use AI, I did this a lot when I was learning how to use it.

Or I can just tell AI to use AI for me

Yep. Subagents are a very normal part of AI tools

In some languages, all nouns are gendered, and it’s impossible to refer to a noun without a gender. There is no “it”, only (s)he.

If you ever learn a language like that, you will make mistakes. If someone hears your mistake, hopefully they’ll be more forgiving about it than you are.

Why (and how to) cook a PB&J?

I’ve been pretty happy with Peergos

Happy cake day 🙂

No.

Ohh I didn’t know they abandoned the bananas deliberately. Yeah that’s an important detail

How dare you think critically of anything that is dogmatically accepted as truth on the internet

Sure, I understand the moral arguments, but it’s very common to have legal consequences when taking something that doesn’t belong to you — regardless of morals.

Of course it would be morally better to give everyone permission to take the bananas. It sounds like that hasn’t happened though, so it seems very simple to understand that there would be legal consequences for taking them.

How is this not obvious? Did I miss some critical detail?

I never thought I’d ever defend UK laws, but if you take something that doesn’t belong to you, isn’t it generally frowned upon in most parts of the world? This seems pretty normal to me

I assumed it’s probably due to some creators becoming, or later being discovered as, “problematic” and/or some sort of brand risk. It would look more strange to unlist a few of them, so better to unlist all of them.

To be clear: This is speculation based on zero information 🙃. Just a total guess based on how things tend to go between internet culture and corporations. I’m probably wrong. It would be cool if YouTube would communicate things like this.

It’s unfortunate to see such cultural history hidden away. Though, tbh, this is probably the most that I’ve ever thought about YouTube Rewind, and I haven’t thought about it in many years.

Yep, it’s “Estadounidenses” in Portuguese as well. The distinction (and occasional confusion/debate across languages/cultures) makes sense, considering how those cultures learn about continents.

In contrast, English-speaking countries teach the seven-continent model, in which there’s not really any place called “America.” So when we omit “The United States of” for brevity, native English speakers still understand where it’s referring to.

“USians” is an interesting shortcut. It may not be proper English, but it still seems understandable enough in text. Hopefully everyone who vocalizes it, pronounces it your way. If I ever hear “Oosian”, I’ll probably assume they meant “Asian”.
