It's the character for 'correct', which doesn't really explain much. Best I can figure it's just that it's a common character with five strokes in a satisfying right-down-right-down-right order.

Oxygen ravages electrons all day at the end of the electron transport chain and nobody bats an eye, but you steal one pair off some DNA and everybody loses their minds!

Fountain pen writing may look nicer in most scenarios, but in terms of practicality they're awful compared to ballpoints.

Don't give Java the credit of inventing bytecode, it's a much cooler concept than that

Cheap cars definitely are more reliable if you pick the right brands. On all the other points it just doesn't make enough of a difference to me to justify the enormous cost increase.

Our $10k used Camry is still kicking ass over ten years later and hasn't ever needed work more extensive than replacing leaking struts. The reliability truly is astounding.

EDIT: But, let's not talk about my camera-buying habits lol

Plus creators get paid more per premium view than per ad-supported view.

The subtlety that people fall into with the YT hate wagon is that yes, Google is shitty and needs to be held accountable for it, but running a video site on that scale like some loving small community simply is not possible.

I love Nebula, the online video ecosystem is much richer for it, but every time I hear people hoping it can materially compete with YT I have to laugh. Not only do their quality controls not scale at all, but YT having such a low barrier to entry for anyone makes it inclusive in a way no curated community can be, especially over the long term. Nebula is literally an offshoot of YT, it won't be the last, and that's part of what's great about YT.

Now, if only we could convince some other conglomerate to light piles of cash on fire for over a decade to bootstrap a proper direct competitor, then Google would be forced to be somewhat less shitty.

Liquid coolers are by definition just an extra heat exchange step unless you're venting heat into the ocean or something like a nuclear plant. Otherwise, the atmosphere is your final heat sink either way.

Unless a liquid cooling radiator is significantly larger than the air cooler that would fit directly on the CPU there's no point whatsoever.

I don't buy that it's the vast majority. None of the sports fans I've ever known have had any interest in it.

I just saw an OwO scrawled in a cargo bin on a commercial flight last week myself.

Have you heard the good news about our lord and savior Ruby?

They did as a side product, but that's not at all the same thing as dropping the concept entirely.

Whether they need it to federate or not, it's still reasonable to not want an entity as large and powerful as Meta to consume this data. Fuck Meta because it's Meta, which has a history of being particularly heinous with user data.
