  • Nit pick, this is a 256TB SSD, so you'd need four to make a PB of raw space, and probably more than that to allow for RAID and effective space. PBSSD is their name for tech to enable PB scale arrays of such SSDs.

    OpenTracks is an open source sport tracking application for Android that completely respects your privacy: Almost a Strava alternative
  • The primary function of the app is to record a GPS activity with your phone. If you already have a GPS watch and like using it, I don't see the point in using both. And I'm not sure about Coros, but Garmin at least give you the option to manually download your GPS traces directly from the watch without using their web services if you're concerned about privacy.

    Why is there such a large amount of communist and transgender related posts on the Fediverse compared to other platforms?
  • On a technical level, federation is arguably just as compatible with libertarianism. Each instance is its own island nation, free to set its own rules while members vote with their feet in free association. That it hasn't gone that route is more to do with the founding population than the technology.

    How come we experience so much more inflation than deflation? in other words, why does our buying power decrease far more often than it increases?
  • What you describe would be worse without inflation. The rich would still have most of the capital, but they also wouldn't bother investing it either, which at least recirculates the money and becomes income for others.

  • Better yet, look at crypto, where people believe inflation is all about monetary supply and restrict it on purpose. The result? Wild volitity, huge crashes, and low velocity of money because everyone hoards it instead of spending.

    In-N-Out bans employees from wearing masks
  • In N Out even has their own warehouses to supply their restaurants. I see meat packing positions listed on their website which I would highly suspect require masks.

    we all have a comfort chair, tell me I'm wrong
  • I mean the similarity is not a coincidence. Gaming chairs are modeled after racing seats which are five point harnesses designed to keep the occupant safe in a car crash... exactly like toddler car seats.

    I can see a use for actual racing seats in racing games to enhance the immersion. The faux racing gaming chairs took off because some chair company sponsored streamers. Streamers like them because they're something to look at on stream rather than a bland office chair. For everyone else a bland office chair is way better.

    Actors say Hollywood studios want their AI replicas — for free, forever
  • Look at animated movies. They're giant collaborations of hundreds of mostly anonymous people, basically large software development projects. They hire stars to do the voices, not because they're all that great as voice actors (trained voice actors can often be had cheaper), but to be the face of the film in public and promote it.

    That is, the skill of a Hollywood star is not really anything to do with the product, but simply being famous, recognizable, and likeable. They are a brand, like Mickey Mouse or Colonel Sanders (once an actual person!).
