Read the article folks. Amazon is claiming they don’t meet the definition in Europe, where there are other online retailers with more sales in those countries that are not flagged as ‘Very Large Online Platforms’. Amazon is simply claiming that them getting that designation and other online retailers of the same or larger sizes are not is unfair and Amazon shouldn’t receive that tag in those countries.

Apologies for the confusion, I meant I have full disk access.

How would you transfer an identity between an instance with open registration and one that required admin approval? Or CAPTCHA? Does the old instance continue to store your user or delete it? What about content you’ve posted, should that be redirected to your new user?

This isn’t a theoretical problem, it’s a technical and administrative one.

Ty. I have full disk, and literally one real user with one comment. Re-subbing would be the only annoying thing lol

21,000 users with no comments, posts, or votes on an instance that’s never been advertised and isn’t on the community browser or thefederation… Yeah nah lol.

Can I just drop them from public.persons and move on?

Well, my bots haven’t done anything apparently, but there are a couple thousand of them. I’m surprised considering my instance wasn’t even listed anywhere lol. Have a query for safely deleting all but two accounts by chance?

No. It’s strictly worse than Windows 10.

i3. Once I got used to tiling window managers I just can’t use anything else.

10 minutes to cool down and hydrate every four hours.

This was the laws they found so egregious that they had to overrule them at the state level? I work at a desk in my temperature controlled house where I get to set the AC and I take ten minutes every couple hours to stretch hydrate.

You don’t need an upfront detailed understanding of everything to get started. Contributing to projects like this is a research project like any other.

Already on top dude

Always a good question to ask, but this script is very simple and I can confidently tell you that as it is right now, it’s completely safe

I make six figures working at the highest levels of my career in support of government agencies. I used free/reduced lunches my entire schooling. It’s super ridiculous

I have an instant pot air fryer. They definitely made some attempts. But I imagine they kept trying to be the big mover and shaker and that’s expensive compared to just building a solid trustworthy brand.

Yea. That will only show communities that members of beehaw are already subscribed to. And importantly, I’m not registered on that instance. That’s not the website I use.

My point is less of what is possible, and more of what you should be prepared for. Yeah, the above saying to buy a new one is probably excessive, but from a liability standpoint, now they can say they warned you.

My last drive to fail was 5 years old, and I retired a matching drive last year at 9 years old on a suspicion it was exacerbating issues, but it still worked with passing SMART tests. They definitely can go for much longer.

My NAS drives are 2 years and six months old and I bought an identical model drive and installed it as a hot swap last month. I have both a RAID-5 equivalent setup and local and remote backups, but I’ve generally started a rotation or prepared newer drives around the 3 year mark for most of my career.

Unpopular opinion, but I really see no problem with this? They aren’t reducing the capabilities of the drive or anything. Three years is a damn good time to have a plan. Whether it be validating your backups, having a hot spare on standby, or double checking your RAID status.

More importantly, for the average consumer who doesn’t maintain off site backups and may not have their NAS configured correctly to prevent data loss, giving people a head’s up that they are hitting the warranty limit isn’t a bad idea.

It’s been a long time since I had a drive fail in just three years, but that’s still all I consider a guarantee.

I don’t think the math is quite right, because there are potentially a couple hundred read replicas that need updated on every comment. There is an M-N relationship where it gets better, and the asynchronicity helps direct load, but it’s still not what I would call efficient scaling.

Spoken from traumatic experience.
