Here in Germany the forum culture is still somewhat alive, social media did take a big cut though.

Except Steam never deletes games that you already own or takes them away from you for other reasons.

Yes, they could do that in the future but its the one company where that is unlikely.

It is likely that we humans or our ancestors were responsible for the extinction of most of the megafauna around the world, so we would only be undoing our own damage I guess.

I can see the power that the battery is being charged with in Dev Check,

However, I think its the power of the battery being charged and not the power that is going through the cables.

I do know how to read an analog clock, but I dont read it subconciously, because my brain works on digital time, so I will have to look at it and then figure out what that time is if it were on a digital clock.

So if I see an analog clock I would rather look at my phone because that is just quicker than doing the conversion.

If you want to know more, look at the video Technology Connections (2?) did about it.

It also breaks the flow of the video, which is why I have started skipping them. I noticed just how much nicer videos without any sponsorships are because you dont have to dedicate time to lead into and out of an ad and can continue the video without explaining everything twice.

I also dont see any value gained by me or the creator if I fully watch the 100th squarespace commercial, as I dont get to hear anything new.

But the most egregious videos are where they try to hide that they are transitioning into an ad, like by creating some minute long argument that leads from the topic to the sponsor. Which leads to me not only having wasted my time for the actual ad, but also the transition.

What isnt one today?

With Lemmy you have a selection of echo chambers, so its much more diverse in the end.

Thats insane, here in Germany voting is always on sunday and (at least in my state, we may have some small time variations in others) I can go vote from 8-18:00, or I could do a postal vote, although I never bothered to do that because its just easier to vote in person, the lines were never really long or even existant at all.

Right now I just have to walk 200m to the next primary school and vote there, its very easy and relaxed.

You can also run the Network Controller on any PC or even Home Assistant if you dont need to do any advanced traffic routing features.

The only disadvantage is that updates cannot be automatically applied while the network controller is off, the APs however do work fine without it, as long as they are configured once.
