That depends on your description of development. Socially, economically, etc we have reverted and are doing the same things that failed 100 years ago. But there have been breakthroughs elsewhere.
Cas9 gene editing through CRISPR has opened a ton of incredibly valuable medical options around that time. The same with mRNA vaccination breakthroughs leading into the COVID era.
Why bother with that? That’s gonna be $1000 just for the box alone, and still lock me into the Synology ecosystem.
I can build a NAS with more capability for less than that. Like taking a Jonsbo NAS case and have the freedom to do whatever I want with it, with plenty of space to move everything else I’m running over to that as well. Even their N5 would likely be less expensive, and I’d have room for 12 HDDs and 4 SSDs then.
I had been considering upgrading, my current 4 bay Synology is physically full and running out of storage space. Moving that to a larger Synology box and adding drives would be easiest, basically plug and play.
But now instead I’ll probably just switch to a more traditional NAS instead. Run TrueNAS, or maybe give HexOS a look. If I’m going to have to convert from my current proprietary Synology filesystem anyway I might as well rebuild from scratch. As it is I’ve shifted all the services off the Synology and Docker to a dedicated Proxmox box.
Let’s get that full quoted sentence instead of the two worda out of context that let you post the link you wanted.
And if we look at nature in general, non-monogamous breeding across all species is the most common.
Didn’t even need the whole sentence, just the word before those… “Across all species”.
There’s kind of my point. It is a societal construct, one largely tied to religion and thus easily mapped to religious expansion across the globe.
“Normal” for things like this is meaningless, because it is entirely based in arbitrary beliefs, not anything inherent in being human. It is based entirely on fake limits we’ve imposed on ourselves as a culture, nothing more.
This is really only “abnormal” in a traditional, Christianity-based modern societal culture, and that’s nowhere near the entire world.
I think the fact you have to point out that we’re the only species that has developed drugs, in order to exclude every other species kind of proves it though.
By what definition of “normal”? Polygamy is a central part of several religions for instance. And if we look at nature in general, non-monogamous breeding across all species is the most common.
On flights between major airports, with no inclement weather, and ignoring direct human control like taxiing and communications, many commercial flights are already effectively there. Automatic takeoff, autopilot in the air, and auto land systems handle nearly everything else automatically.
That doesn’t require the patriarchy, just the fashion industry in general trying to sell as much as possible. Adding an entirely different and otherwise unnecessary article of clothing is a brilliant idea honestly.
The downside is that it requires a user account.
Most large US supermarkets make you have loyalty accounts to get their real prices anyway as it is, in exchange for your buying habits, otherwise everything is marked up.
Blackberry being a viable market player died when Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie left in 2012.
Bed at 7am, up around 2pm.
I work the midnight shift 6:45pm - 4:45am, so it kind of dictates the schedule more than anything else.
I was always a night owl though, so the shift works for me. I’d be up until 4am or later anyway.
Hitler was a drug addict and the trains didn’t run on time.
German trains still don’t run on time. Can’t blame that one on the Nazis, that’s just a German thing.
There are plenty of step-by-step guides to run Deepseek locally. Hell, someone even had it running on a Raspberry Pi. It seems to be much more efficient than other current alternatives.
That’s about as openly available to self host as you can get without a 1-button installer.
Get in the game with inexpensive options, grow the business and reinvest profits to both expand and increase quality. The exact opposite of what we see with large companies once they hit the top of their respective markets.
Their charging and cable products are awesome and still a decent price. That’s not to say Anker is perfect. They straight up lied about their Eufy security cameras. Sending unencrypted streams back to Eufy despite claims of offline local data storage.
I’m also on Lemmy blahaj which don’t know if that matters
It does. If your home instance blocks other instances then you’ll never see their posts, regardless of your settings.
I don’t believe there’s a native way to see these blocks in Lemmy, you’d have to look at a third party site that tracks that sort of thing.
It’s gotten to the point where you need to have an attorney on retainer just to get real answers from these companies. Instead of saying you’ll get an attorney to the underpaid customer service rep with no power who can’t care less and people threaten legal actions with no follow through constantly… an actual attorney sending a letter calling the company out for their failure to address your issues gets you put into a separate system where they know you actually have representation they want to avoid.
Those monthly retainer services are surprisingly cheap too if you just need something verified or a notice sent once in a while. Many companies even offer discounted legal retainer services as part of their benefits packages.
The same way Spam emails work. Spit shit everywhere and get that 0.000000001% return click, but it costs you almost nothing to put it out.
The account gets history with actual posts, and if it survives without being banned for spam, will eventually be cleared of posts and sold as an established account.
