DDR5 ECC isn't as powerful as real ECC. It only requires 8 extra bits for every 64 bits of data, real ECC requires 16 bits: https://www.faceofit.com/ddr5-ecc-vs-regular-ecc-ram/
I thought this was made by OP honestly...
Because most people installing an OS on a device are doing it for themselves? I do think they should label the OEM edition as "Install for Family & Friends" as well though.
The Liberal party has only held a majority in their own right once in their 80 year history, the 1996 election of John Howard.
But, as was already pointed out, this is satirical. However I feel like it's gearing up for the Coalition's response if Labor ends up forming government with the Greens, which I feel like is more than just an outside chance.
Sometimes you need a drink, and that's okay. I consider myself "sober" but don't and haven't ever abstained entirely. I don't want it to have that power over me honestly.
I'm sorry that happened though OP, you shouldn't ever feel like you have to prove your transness to anyone!
Yes, and for a much simpler reason than everyone here: It's the law!
No, there are a lot of us who are quite left-leaning but abhor tankie-style communism. I'm personally more democratic socialist, though living in a country like Australia means that's not just a pipe-dream.
They've already done it all, haven't they? They're kind of the poster child everyone else is playing catchup with.
I think you're missing the other commenters point, they were sarcastically noting that other countries have already gotten ideas.
I don't know if you've checked out aussie.zone much yet, but my favourite is definitely:
The daily discussion threads are just cozy and nice.
Meet the new breed of girlfriends with benefits.
It heavily implies the usage of the term "girlfriends" as in close female friends.
Edit: Yeah, and on reading the article as posted by the other user, it's definitively talking about sapphic connections.
4 largest cities? By what metric? Surely it wouldn't even come close on area, let alone population...
I think you may have misunderstood my comment. I was speaking to this part of yours:
...but these days we enjoy human estrogens instead...
In that what we use now isn't really "human" oestrogen, because it's synthetic, and oestrodiol is pretty much universal among mammalian species.
Where the heck do you live that it gets to -40° on a regular basis? You'd have to be pretty close to the arctic or antarctic circles for that.
To be fair, it's not human oestrogens collected from pregnant women or something, it's synthetic made in a lab. There's no difference in the estradiol (E2) molecule between different mammals, so the stuff we use now could be used for HRT for a horse. That's why the horse piss tiddy juice worked in the first place!
To be fair, we do have far better public transit systems than most of the US. When I was a teenager, I could easily go to the library after school, then catch a bus home afterwards. Our libraries also offer far more than just books in most cases. There were community groups, video games and consoles, a café that was community run twice a week with really cheap coffee. It was always a better place to study for me when I was doing my high school certificate.
We do, unfortunately, have the "especially if they're not white" part in Australia as well. I'd definitely say we're doing better though, for example far less PoC die as a result of the police here.
No, they're included with, and updated by, the OS. But they are the proprietary ones that are available on Nvidia's website.

Article from January 2025:
The United States Health and Human Services Department (HHS) published a landmark report on intersex health equity last week, calling for an end to medically unnecessary non-consensual surgeries on children born with intersex variations.
The report, based on a literature review and listening sessions with intersex people, ethicists, and medical professionals, states that “the over 5 million intersex people in our nation deserve to live healthy and fulfilling lives free from stigma and discrimination.”
Children born with variations in their sex characteristics, sometimes called intersex traits, are often subjected to “normalizing” surgeries that are irreversible, risky, and medically unnecessary. Approximately 1.7 percent of people have an intersex trait, meaning intersex variations are not uncommon, but often misunderstood.
Genuinely amazed this managed to still be released under the

c/Lesbians has no moderators
Hey, I just wanted to make a post because I noticed the [email protected] community now has no moderators at all. The one mod was instance banned. I think it would be good if we could have some admin intervention to install a new head moderator. I'm not personally feeling able to put my paw up for that, so if any other blahaj user is up for taking it on please comment here :)

This feels like an overreach by the lemmy.world admin...
I was banned from lemmy.world for “personal attacks” for 3 days because of calling someone a “piece of shit” after they called me a “cunt”. The comment calling me a cunt wasn’t removed and the user hasn’t been punished at all by the lemmy.world admins.
The comments in question:

In the interest of full disclosure, this is my other comment that was removed:
And here’s the comment of that user I was referencing, in the Blahaj modlog after it was removed:
This feels like an overreach, especially when the admin clearly didn’t feel it was impo
it’s just the rule thing to do

Can we defederate zerobytes.monster?
It’s just an instance of reposting reddit links. These showed up in my All feed sorted by Hot even though there’s zero interaction. It just feels like spam.

PSA about HardlightCereal aka DroneRights aka PM_ME_FAT_ENBIES
@[email protected] I’m a chaser and came on to you? Despite telling you I had a partner in the same message? I’m sorry, but you’re just not that interesting. It was a joke because you had a PM_ME username. But yeah, now you’ve accused a trans person of being a chaser. What next? I’m glad the 196 mods saw through your application, yikes.

Downvote Button
I’m on a server that has downvotes disabled. I’m wondering if we can get an update that hides the downvote button/slide when it’s disabled? I accidentally press it 2-3 times per day and the error dialogue can be frustrating. I was thinking there could be an option for what to replace the ‘slide right to downvote’ shortcut with when it’s hidden. Such as share or copy link.
Quake II Remaster Source Code Released
Source code for Quake II's 2023 rerelease is now available for all. The classic gameplay brings modern updates and is as modder friendly as Doom. The code is GPL-licensed and on Github now.
Local Instance Link Setting
So at the moment, when you share a post, you get a link to the post on the instance the communities on. Obviously, you aren’t always sharing links with people that are also on your instance, so this behaviour is usually fine. But I have a few friends on my local instance, so it would be nice to be able to link them directly. Maybe having the options be Local/Remote/Ask, with a little options list each time if people want that.
