Not by the usual definition. The carbon, etc that used to form the cyanobacteria is completely broken down and formed into miscellaneous hydrocarbons. There’s no petrified remains, nor rock impressions of the bacteria.

Many people do this.

Many people are insane.

Just tested. It’s Ctrl+right, not Ctrl+left.

Edit: also, no-one says that the cell size has to remain default. 34 million pages is rookie numbers.

The loyal cult is the result of Stockholm syndrome.

“Extensive manual reading” Really? Two seconds of skimming is extensive reading to this guy?

Maybe I’m the exception here, but this thing reads to me like a long list of non-issues. I specifically don’t want my phone fast charging. It’s bad for the battery. I’ll slow charge overnight. People having to keep track of multiple cables is a result of them trying to save $2 and buying the cheapest possible cables. Buy good cables with the highest data transfer speed you will require and forget about it. They are all backwards compatible.

The point of USB-C wasn’t to make everything compatible with everything always, the point was to get rid of proprietary connectors, and unify the 4 different USB connector types commonly in use.

6 months? Cars had them for years.

Because this is Lemmy, I feel like I have to ask, Linux support? Or is it Windows-only for now?

The kind of waste I’m talking about doesn’t give two fucks about proportionality. CO2 in the atmosphere makes no distinction between being emitted by a single person or three million.

Also, fuck living in a world where only things arbitrarily deemed “useful” are considered worthy. Does art have no place in your world? It’s not “useful”. Should people be banned from having hobbies? Those aren’t “useful”.

Good point. Forgot about tires. Tire sizes here are a mix of metric and imperial. My tires are 245 40R19, so 245mm wide, 40% sidewall ratio, on a 19" rim.

I wouldn’t say so in this case. A watch is probably about as close to “good” conspicuous consumption as it’s possible to get. Think about it: it’s generally a “buy once, keep it forever” item, takes essentially 0 resources to keep functioning (generally the expensive ones don’t require batteries), uses very little material to manufacture, and all the price is coming from specialist labour.

It’s a waste of money, but it’s a harmless waste, especially when compared to things like private jets and yachts.

They all did. Everything in the auto industry is metric these days across all brands.

That’s pretty much the theme for most of the responses here.

Blame Henry Ford. The superior screw head style was available to him, but he refused to use it.
