It's not that you change the passwords for each website often, it's that you use a different password for each site. That way if one site gets hacked and your password is leaked, it can't be used to access your accounts on other sites.

If you have a nut allergy you probably have never tasted nuts and wouldn't know that was what you were tasting

Plenty of costs don't depend on how much usage there is. If a tree falls and takes out a power line it cosrs the same whether that line was being used at 1% capacity or 100%

It's a quite entitled view to take that they should make an effort to pass the project on. It would be very hard to build sufficient trust in a new developer quickly, and passing it on without that trust would be undermining the trust that users of the projects have placed in this dev. If I were him, I wouldn't be staking my reputation on finding someone to take over from me if there wasn't already an obvious candidate.

The successful fundraiser you mention looks to have had a target of $12k USD (from: https://discuss.techlore.tech/t/divestos-is-unsustainable-needs-community-support-we-sent-250-and-you-can-help-too/6660, the original page has been taken down), and was as a alternative to them taking a full time job. I'd say its a reasonable bet that money was spent on living expenses, and IMO $12k a year is much less than this level of skilled work is worth. It's certainly not enough money to make it unreasonable to shut down the project a year later, and I doubt anyone who donated feels shortchanged by it.

Why would it need 5GHz? At most it needs to do two audio streams, which aren't going to need lots of bandwidth

The upside of IANA doing it would be a standardised place for sites to move to. Without coordination, different sites would move to different TLDs, probably mostly based on what isn't already registered. IANA could create a new TLD for this and give existing whatever.io owners a chance to register whatever.iox before its generally available

If you're just commuting & riding flat, even-ish trails, you maybe don't need a MTB at all. You'll get much bigger changes in handling/comfort/speed from changing the style of bike than the marginal gains from upgrading individual parts.

What are you hoping to gain from a drivetrain upgrade? It might make more sense to look at changing the type of bike you have, rather than trying to transform a MTB to act like a hybrid/gravel/road bike

How exactly is it hashed? There aren't that many possible phone numbers, so it might be viable to just try every valid number until you find one that matches

Blaming Spotify for this is like blaming the company that made your TV for showing you ads that are part of the broadcast. Unless Spotify makes the specific podcast you're listening to, they're just playing you the content someone else made, including the ads they included in that content.

It's marked solved, but since OP didn't post the solution:

-e uses basic regular expressions, where you need to escape the meta-characters ((|)) with a backslash. Alternatively, use extended regex with -E

$ echo a | grep -E "(a|b)"
a
$ echo a | grep -e "\(a\|b\)"
a
$ echo a | grep -e "(a|b)"
$ echo a | grep -E "\(a\|b\)"

The male gaze is the idea that we judge things from the perspective of a (heterosexual) man. In particular, it often refers to what society considers to be beautiful. Society often equates being sexually attractive with beauty, and often values people who are considered beautiful more highly.

The article is critizing the video for claiming to subvert this trope in the second half, while still placing emphasis on Katy Perry's sexual attractiveness.

Defederate lemmynsfw.com? (self.lemmyworld)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by CosmicGiraffe to c/lemmyworld
 

The admins on lemmynsfw.com have decided to allow "non-IRL loli", i.e. drawn porn involving children/teenagers. (Post: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/29633).

Irrelevant of the moral issues that this poses, such content is illegal in many countries (e.g the UK). Continuing to federate with lemmynsfw.com will put users at risk of significant legal repercussions.

Please would the admins consider defederating unless lemmynsfw change their policy.

UPDATE: The lemmynsfw admins posted an clarification here: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/29826. My original argument for defederating doesn't stand any more.
