That’s… it? You can get knighted for being “fairly good” at your job for half a decade, and then quitting?

Yes. Knighthood is generally up to the whims of the monarch. Although to make it there, it’s generally expected you have an achievement significant enough to be befitting of one.

But from what I recall, there’s little stopping his majesty from conferring a knighthood onto Chief Mouser Larry for his research into the napping suitability of 10 Downing Street’s furniture, if he wanted to do that.

Is there a Wrong Dishonourable title?

The box what goes bang if you poke it wrong.

The computer is inaccessible, and if you did that, the best way to fix it, while also avoiding any other potential issues stemming from that, is just to reinstall the thing.

If the embedded system is old or poorly-maintained enough, there might be more Rust than you’d think.

Unless FPS means “files per second”, I don’t see why it would, past the point of usability. You can only type so quickly, and 50 frames is as meaningful as 144.

If you get to that point where frames per second does matter, you’re either the fastest typist known to mankind, or it might be worth finding a more efficient way of doing what you’re doing.

Unclear. They don’t give their reasoning beyond “complicated = bad”, and very specifically leave it up to the imagination of the reader.

While they make some interesting points with regards to overcomplication and scope creep, there are also good reasons why we’re still not using programs like ed as text editors, such as it being arcane and unintuitive.

vi will at least helpfully point out :exit is not an editor command. Instead, ed will not-so-helpfully point out ?.

When you think of a bloated text editor, you would not expect VI to be that. If anything, it’s closer to the opposite.

Or if you find the project a while later, and the link/server is dead, either because the maintainer forgot to update the link, or the server shut down/removed invites for some reason, like spam prevention.

Considering the tiny token size (1MB?), you might be able to squeeze an editor into an NFT. Heavens knows why you would, but you can.

“blockchain” tends to be rather iffy too, especially since it’s seemingly inevitably tied with cryptocurrency or something like it in some form or another.

No, Kbin hasn’t released their own, or an API yet. I believe the developer is working to stop it crashing after the recent migrations, so has been mostly focused on that instead of the app.

Has that ever historically been the case? It’s usually been that a technological development results in loss of jobs, as businesses simply reduce their wage expenditure, whilst expecting the same amount, or more work.

Like how computerisation has massively increased productivity, but wages and working hours haven’t changed to match.

Kind magical in its own way. Reminds me of the old internet days where you’d bump into a site from 1990 or someplace entirely by chance.

Maybe using <marquee> or <blink>.

Beehaw did defederate from Lemmy.world, though, due to the open sign up policy meaning that users could bypass their account creation restrictions, creating additional workload that their moderators could not handle with the current Lemmy toolkit.

That’s what the RAM is for.

They did tweak it for USB 3 support at one point, since the lighting USB adaptor that they offer has that, but I would not be at all surprised if that was pushing the limits of the actual connector itself.

It could also be the first/second one.

Testicles(!)

Wonder if the toilet design might also play a part.

If you’re in a country with a siphonic toilet, where the water level is really high, you probably don’t want to sit down and start dipping into the toilet water, and if you’re in a country with squat toilets, you can’t really sit on the toilet to urinate either.
