Lol the US will invade not because they are our ally, but because they believe they are the only ones that are allowed to attack Canada.

Google didn't buy HTC. They bought the parts of the company responsible for making the first Pixel phone.

HTC is still a separate entity. They just don't release 25 phones/year now, and all of their stuff is mid-range garbage.

New idea for Lemmy apps: drunk text mode. Between 10pm and 6am you have to answer a skill testing question before submitting.

My favourite Jellyfin feature is the one where it doesn't 'accidentally' reset my dashboard every few weeks to promote its garbage free streaming partners. I don't think I could give that feature up.

I have a $2 USB C cable I got off of Ali that I use to charge my laptop at 65W. It's rated for 100W but I have no way of testing it.

It's actually higher quality than any official apple cable I've used, although that's a pretty low bar.

The first USB-C Android phones were also only USB 2.0.

Although that was 8 years ago, when USB 3 was only just starting to become commonplace.

If I want to watch every game I need to subscribe to 3 different services and pay something like $60/month, and I'm in an out of market area.

It wasn't a ban. It was a tax designed to funnel money into the media companies that own our politicians.

It failed spectacularly because it shows that Canadians don't visit Facebook for news coverage, and that Meta was 100% correct to not pay for access to content that its users don't care about.

I know there is probably a historical reason but I hate how find parses its arguments.

Any other app would be fine --name or find -n.

Every time I use it I have to spend a few minutes checking the results to make sure that it's actually doing what I want it to do.

I worked at a grocery store and the produce department got a big load of fresh cilantro in. My eyes watered as I walked into the back room. I thought they had just done a shitty job of cleaning the floors.

The SoC lacks the hardware. Even the USB C iPads with A series chips operate at 2.0 speeds. They can only do 5Gbit in host mode, like with an external SSD. Plugged in to a computer they are 2.0.

I would imagine future chips will have the capability, once the Pro chips trickle down to the base models.

If Debian works on your hardware and you just want something that works and doesn't give you issues then yes its a good choice. It will just work happily in the background for years.

Fedora Server is a great choice if its something you want to continuously tinker with. Each release averages a little over 1 year of support so you'll want to do a dist upgrade after each new version comes out.

I'm currently considering switching to it on a couple of production servers I manage because they rely on PostGIS. EL9 and Debian rely on the official postgres repositories rather than shipping their own .deb/rpms and the official postgres repository's GIS packages are so unreliable I think it would be more stable on Arch. With Fedora server however I can just install postgres and postgis from the official community repo.
