Playeur exists. You just gotta convince your favorite YouTubers to switch and/or cross post. They apparently have tools that make migrating pretty easy. A few of my favorite ones are on there, but most aren't.

It is half the classroom, or is it more like 5%? Because the autistic rate is somewhere around 2%, so you would probably expect a slightly higher rate of people to guess they're autistic when you're dealing with a population known for struggling to understand themselves.

No shit? Well today I learned. That's definitely going to reduce lifespan. I guess that means you should try to fill your card as much as possible before formatting it.

I don't have anything to add but I wanted to say those are all good points.

Yeah but the practical write limit tests I've seen for SSDs (from ten years ago) put it well beyond what even a professional photographer would do. We're talking SSDs that sustained constant writing of random data 24/7 and didn't fail for more than a year. There's just something about SD cards. As further "proof," photographers don't complain about their SSDs failing on them, even though those should have more write cycles than their SD cards.

Yeah it's at the level of frequency where an ordinary user with one SD card is unlikely to have a problem, but if photography is your hobby it's only a matter of time. In a rather informal poll conducted by Chelsea and Tony Northrup, they basically found that two thirds of the most active photographers had experienced at least one SD card failure. It basically was just a direct correlation with how many photographs you've taken.

It depends on the storage medium. SD cards will fail if you use them enough. Photographers and videographers will run into to problem every once in a while, especially if they're a professional. Why SD cards in particular have a tendency to fail, I can't exactly say. It might just be their form factor making internal physical damage more likely. I say internal, because the issue is that a normal looking SD card will one day turn up corrupted for no obvious reason.

I haven't heard of any other type of flash memory having lifespan issues for regular consumers.

I find your take on that data to be super weird, given that Lemmy has 10x the number of monthly active users than writefreely. We're not going to be beating Reddit anytime soon, but we've got a decent little community going.

From a purely constitutional standpoint the Fugitive Slave Act was just doubling down on language already in the Constitution, so states rights doesn't apply.

Article IV Section 2

No Person held to Service or Labour in one State, under the Laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in Consequence of any Law or Regulation therein, be discharged from such Service or Labour, but shall be delivered up on Claim of the Party to whom such Service or Labour may be due.

"State's rights" is usually a bullshit argument unless it's coming from an actual constitutional scholar and they're probably not gonna use the phrase "state's rights." That being said, you know, fuck slavery and those who argued in its favor.
