It took maybe 10 minutes or so for a 256 GB hard drive for me, if I remember correctly.

That was an SSD, though, so yeah, mileage would definitely vary on an HDD.

Hmm, what does that full format do? Write zeros over everything?

Personally, I would run shred on the root filesystem. It's a tool specifically intended for properly deleting data (overwrites it with random data multiple times).

Just in time as the "but you promised 1.5 degrees" sentence expires...

I thought, this was going to be about D~~oom~~RL, which is a different take on that: https://drl.chaosforge.org/screenshots

Presentation and Q&A session with one of the UI designers who worked on Cards View. Lots of insights into the considerations for usability, accessibility and future plans.

Of course, yes. I'm just explaining why there's more political motivation to not be hit by a car than a motorcycle.

They do have a history of such things happening, yes, which is why my comment exists in the first place. Normally, I would assume this to just be the result of regular shitty management practices paired with regular shitty profit motives.

The history makes it look like they might genuinely have a higher motive here, and I'm saying I still don't think so, because it would be far too petty and I don't see them benefitting that much from it.

A motorcycle has a higher chance of killing its rider rather than bystanders, when compared to cars.

Google is blocking popular instances these days, so yeah, you basically need to find an unpopular instance, which usually means it's new and may not live for long, or it will quickly become popular, because it works, which will cause Google to block it.

Yeah, Google started blocking popular instances of Invidious and Piped in May this year: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/3822

Every so often, it may start working again when those instances get a different IP address, but it usually doesn't last more than a few days...

 

Was just trying to explain to someone why everything is going to shit, specifically companies, and realized, I don't fully get it either.

I've got the following explanation. The sentences marked with "???" are were I'm lost. Anyone mind telling me, if they're correct and if so, why?

The past few years, central banks were giving out interest rates of 0% or even negative percentages. Regular banks would not quite pass this on, but you could still loan money and give it back later with no real interest payments.

This lead to lots of people investing in companies. As long as those companies paid out more money than those low interest rates, it was worthwhile. But at the same time, this meant companies didn't have to be profitable, because they could pay out investors from money that other investors gave them???

This has stopped being the case, as central banks are hiking interest rates again, to combat inflation???
