Because the communities I care about are getting less than one post per month.

It’s just bots bypassing bot filter. Most platforms now restrict activity of new user accounts to combat spam, so bot farms create new accounts, create some spam posts, wait two-three months until these accounts become unrestricted, then post some political ads en masse.

I suggest using a ternary operator. At least 10% of Lemmy users will understand this syntax.

But it’s all herbal and natural!

dried plants are no less effective in making you vomit than synthetic drugs

It doesn’t matter for most drugs, as long as you can tolerate the taste. There is a gastric ulcers medicine that’s basically a weapons-grade concentrate of chili pepper, eating it raw will cause most people to vomit. Some rare drugs react poorly with saliva, and there are also drugs which are designed to dissolve not in your stomach but in your intestines, but those are usually not capsules but thumb-sized pills with coating so thick you won’t be able to chew through it.

Capsules are considered more advanced drug packaging because none of the drug dissolves in your mouth when you swallow capsules. Unlike pills, 100% of the drug goes straight to your stomach, so there’s no variation in the drug dosage, and the patient won’t complain if the drug is bitter.

Also because you can open the capsule and pour it into the glass of water, if you have trouble swallowing pills. Which defeats the first advantage, and you can simply order powdered drug instead of pills, but it won’t come pre-packaged as pills so it will be more expensive.

None of that matters for vitamins, you generally need more than 1000% of the daily dose for it to become harmful, so each pill contains more than your body really needs, because there are no side effects, so you can buy a pill and lick it, chew it, crush it, and add it to your coffee, and it will still work just fine.

It’s where you would download your anime and Quake 2 installer twenty years ago.

Don’t forget that ftp.cdrom.com , the biggest server on the Internet at it’s peak, was running on FreeBSD.

Maybe on my 32-bit ARM server with ancient kernel it will. Any 64-bit machine is immune.

Go on and put AR-15 on your flag, be like Mozambique with AK-47 on their flag.

Subway that arrives almost to my office. Yes it’s a bit slower overall, but I can doomscroll my phone for a hour per day instead of rotating the wheel for the same amount of time.

Accumulating debts and loaning money to their executives, according to the article.

Cat piss does not smell particularly bad to me.

Maybe it’s toxoplasma speaking.

Because the communism is a convenient ideology for totalitarian states to exploit and control the population.

It’s exactly like the middle-ages Christianity, with the Bible promoting humanitarian ideology, and the church exploiting the hell out of the population.

That’s also why communists banned all religions, they don’t want any competition.

Laptop has keyboard, you can type your password with the same speed as pressing your finger and waiting for it to unlock.

Most casual users won’t even know that their laptop has a fingerprint sensor.

When a company needs a proper security, they buy every user a hardware token like Yubikey.

But most of all, it comes down to the tradition. Manufacturers won’t add fingerprint scanner because users do not demand firgerprint scanner. Users do not demand fingerprint scanner because they are used to have no fingerprint scanner. Try removing a fingerprint scanner from a phone, you’ll see your sales drop like a brick.

I am using only one monitor. It’s hard enough to position it to avoid glare from windows and overhead lamps, I cannot imagine doing it with two.

I also have 15 virtual desktops, so there’s that.

It wasn’t an engine limitation, it was a design choice. Heretic is a colorful game, and it was made using Doom engine.

It’s especially bad in Quake, all monsters look like a moving piece of a wall, and the level design is walls on top of walls with some walls in-between. If not for the revolutionary game engine, it would seriously flop.

The answer is 256-color (8-bit) palette.
