Love the maculata, one of my favorite plants!
“Test subjects weren’t paid, but they did get a U-branded cup” yep, that sounds like good ol’ UofM to me
I’ve got duo; we had to have it at my uni for 2FA for our school emails. As far as I can tell it really isn’t very invasive. That said, I do think it tracks general location but I don’t believe it goes further than that.

I always read it like a leprechaun. What did the leprechaun say when it got kicked in the nuts? “OCH, ME’NARDS!”
My uni used Ubuntu in the CompE computer labs; unfortunately all other labs were windows. But the introduction to Linux was certainly nice!
Oh, of course. There are negatives to everything for sure. But I think as a whole it’s made life better in a lot of different ways.
Near-infinite access to pretty much any information you can possibly dream of, content, questions, etc, on a little device in your pocket
Fun! That’s a big order! How big was the box
That group of 34 people moving to Russia have been referred to by some as the Russia 34, or R34 for short.
This was the very last post on my Lemmy front page, which says something, I think
That’s incredible
Howdy!
That’s super cool! Super random, but super cool!
As someone that works at a storage devices company - we do still manufacture 10K HDDs. They are faster than the 7200s of the same spec, by nature. All 2.5” drives for enterprise systems. And will actually continue selling them until ~2030. That said, they’re all but obsolete at this point, and aren’t really being developed on any more.
Sue-dough & s-s-h here. Can’t speak to zsh yet, haven’t actually talked about it w/ others yet. How about /etc/? Sometimes I call it “e-t-c” but others I say “etsee”
Spacebar sometimes but usually I just smack the keyboard randomly until it wakes up lol
…absolutely, positively, super false. I work in a sector where we’re constantly dealing with huge capacity enterprise SSDs - 15 and 30 terabytes at times. Always using RAID. It’s not even a question. Not only can you have controller malfunctions, but even though you’ve got what’s known as “over provisioning” on the SSDs, you still need to watch out for total disk failures!
What you also forgot to mention is just how much trash we generate… that would be a massive limiting factor as well. It’s hard enough to get a few tons of stuff on a rocket going to space. I couldn’t get an exact figure on a quick google search but humanity generates somewhere on the order of tens of thousands of metric tons of trash per day
