Or maybe medically?

Batteries catch fire. Very large ones, or many cells together can mean a very hot, very dangerous fire, with the occasional violence of a cell bursting.

Being in close contact with something like a phone when that happens would cause burns, but they don’t “explode” with very much force. (Relatively speaking. You wouldn’t get lethal fragmentation for example, I don’t think)

The note 7 batteries didn’t really go boom in the way an actual explosive does, though the reaction is a sudden and fast release of thermal energy, its not that much energy in terms of explosive devices.

So no. You can’t “hack” a phone and turn it into a bomb using just the hardware that is already inside. You could start a fire, and that could be deadly, but as an explosive device the battery in most phones is not that potent.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAÄAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

For real. I’ve seen kids years younger than when I started pedaling scurrying around on these, and it instantly clicked why it’s a much better way to learn to stay upright on two wheels.

I wish my first bike had been something like that. Training wheels stop a bike from leaning into turns, so they don’t teach you anything about what it is like to ride without them.

They’d have taken gold by just standing there and explaining their logic to the judges.

Yes and no.

Pending means the sub hasn’t gone through to the home instance of the community. If you’re the first subscriber, this means the there will be no inbound federation bringing the content from that community to your instance.

If someone else on your instance has already successfully subbed, the federating is already occurring, and your instance will be receiving the activity as it comes in.

Your instance will then show it to you, both in your subscriptions and in general, even though the sub is pending.

If your sub stays pending, you may have to unsub and resub to get it to work. If no-one else on your instance has subbed either, then the activity will continue to not show up for as long as it is pending.

I don’t mind PDA most of the time. It’s cute when two people are completely lost in each other. I appreciate it when people bother being discreet, but even when they don’t, it’s usually not that invasive when people express thesmelves just between the two of them.

But then there’s the attention whores, playing it up for the crowds.

I think those are extremely exaggerated lower eyelids. They rise a bit when a person smiles, so they’re like that to make her smile look extra deranged.

This is a very, very bad idea.

SSDs are permanent flash storage, yes, but that doesn’t mean you can leave them unpowered for extended periods of time.

Without a refresh, electrons can and do leak out of the charge traps that store the ones and zeroes. Depending on the exact NAND used, the data could start going corrupt within a year or so.

HDDs suffer the same problem, though less so. They can go several years, possibly a decade, but you’d still be risking the data on the drive but letting it sit unpowered for an extended time.

For the “cold storage” approach you should really be using something that’s designed to retain data in such conditions, like optical media, or tape drives.

Again, the weird paraphrasing, is why it’s funny. No-one is actually doing it with those exact words except to be funny.

It’s like asking someonen to to hang out by saying “could thine be compelled to spend a night in mine company, perhaps during the consumption of sustenance?”

Paraphrasing is the act of saying something with different words. Using unusual, inaccurate, hyperbolic or too many words is a common way to be funny.

And no, the joke isn’t written poorly, the hyperbolic paraphrasing IS THE WHOLE JOKE.

600 upvoters and counting got it just fine.

Wow.

Holy shit you missed the joke.

The use of the word “activity” here is obviously in reference to socializing, as its directly used in response to “do you want to hang out” to say “already did that with someone/you recently”.

It’s not referring to any random potential task a person might engage in. Is english not your first language? How the hell did you get to the interpretation that “activity” here refers to doing anything?!

You are being downvoted because you are basically saying that if you relate to the joke, there’s something wrong with you and you need help.

That is incorrect, and kinda offensive. You made a lot of people feel like you think they are fucked in the head.

What healthy introvert would claim a non-descript activity would put them out of interacting with anyone for days?

It doesn’t. I don’t have a panic attack if someone walks up to me and starts a conversarion, or have trouble interacting with people for work.

The joke doesn’t have the person hyperventilating, simply turning someone down in a humorous paraphrased way, for a reason that is quite common. “I just socialized, not in the mood for more.”

Learning to turn down requests to socialize in order to ensure you even get any alone time is about as relatable as it gets for an introvert.

If I just spent all weekend hanging out with a friend playing video games, and another friend then contacts me during the week to ask about the next weekend, I’m likely to turn them down because I want to have the following weekend for myself.

You think the joke is about anxiety, as if the writer thinks in-between meeting people “introverts” suffer some kind of break-down they need to overcome, which you acknowledge they don’t. But the joke matches just as well with the way healthy introverts learn to manage how much time they spend around people, vs. alone.

?

This rings true for just being introverted. If I recently met someone, I’ll often just straight up not be in the mood for company for a few days after.

I’ll say something along these lines, though maybe not mention why or even that I don’t want to see anyone, instead just suggest a time further into the future without elaborating.

I just checked the docs for installation instructions, it didn’t seem to make a distinction anymore.

Great. It wasn’t too long ago that MariaDb was still the “recommended” option.

Nextcloud.

Though I think it has some level of support for postgres by now. I should check on that.

How the fuck do you “accelerate” something they are already achieving?

Not sure how much of a future it can have even if you slap on some “speed”.

No, I did change it, IIRC I enabled a lot of the ones that weren’t by default.

I haven’t felt the need to use anything else in months, so I’d say it’s very much fit for purpose.

You can always check out one of the instances available for free use to see how it performs.

All of them.

It shows you which ones “agree” on a given entry, so you can tune it to your tastes.
