7.09 global but I do have a few files with over a 30 ratio

With a traditional download, examplesite.com sends a file to your computer, that’s it.

With torrents, instead of that you download little pieces of the file from many different computers. Sometimes hundreds of different computers. Then once you’ve downloaded the file you can then start sharing pieces to other people downloading. The more people doing this, the faster the downloads will be for everyone else and the less strain it will put on each computer’s Internet connection.

Also if not many people are seeding, there’s a danger that the file will have 0 seeders and nobody can download it at all.

This is also why torrenting is good for privacy. Shutting down one website isn’t so hard. Shutting down hundreds of random personally owned computers is very hard.

Blocking Lemmy.ml, the oldest and one of the most active, seems more than extreme.

I’m pretty sure insults fall under free speech protection in the US, and in fact this case/law has been overruled by higher courts for this reason.

As long as you’re not committing slander or libel, you can insult anyone for anything really. And slander/libel is very hard to prosecute as you have to prove that the claims aren’t true and they they also caused tangible damage.

One of the things I like about my OnePlus 12

Best use is it allows me to control the A/C in my apartment complex’s gym :)

So many 3% stickers on cars around my area

That point is addressed tenfold in the video

I mean, payphones were at most stops. Rest areas, etc.

Acceptable but only if vague memories and impressions occasionally surface and lead to some plotline where you eventually rediscover yourself

Though that would work much better if you shared with the DM I suppose

Working 60 hours a week taught myself to only sleep about 6 hours to claw back a little personal time. Shit’s fucked up.

A five gallon BiB of coke syrup is like $100 (maybe less if you purchase at volume like KFC’s parent company surely does.

That can make ~120 large size drinks.

That’s 83¢ per drink in syrup.

A quick look seems like I could get 1000 Styrofoam cups and lids for $120ish (straws are so cheap as to not even need to be included, 0.006¢ per drink) so about 12¢ per drink.

So about 95¢ in supplies, plus maintenance for the machines, CO2, cleaning labor costs… Around $1-$1.10?

But even that sounds high I bet companies like YUM inc get most of these supplies way cheaper than I was looking on restaurant supply sites by buying in huge bulk amounts.

You using the coupon means that they successfully enticed you to return. And most people will buy things on top of whatever the coupon is good for so they still turn a profit

Millennials remember those times I’m pretty sure… They’re like 40 years old

Us instance admins appreciate it I promise

“Some” does heavy lifting in that song

Pick whatever looks best. It’s not a big of a deal as we make it out to be.

Fedora KDE is also an awesome choice though if you must choose something else.

It’s THE problem

I’m more of a control-R kinda guy

If BYOD was allowed I’d probably get a laptop with two M.2 drives and keep work and personal on separate OSs on separate drives, both encrypted so they can’t access each other’s files.

Best of both worlds.

I’m not interested in conjecture I’m interested in facts. Get me some research papers. Get me some court docs. Something.
