Why bother worrying about the downturn if the world bends over backwards to stop you hitting the ground?

It is basically impossible for Visa to go bankrupt, for example. The moment the threat looms, governments are going to leap in and save them. They're too big to fail.

I thought they got put together like a tapestry?

That's why they have looms or something to knit them up.

At the same time, the lack of virality may hurt it since it feels much more like a burgeoning project. One of the draws for someone coming off of Twitter would be feature parity, and Mastodon feeling less complete and much smaller wouldn't help.

Even if I had wanted to upgrade, I wouldn't be able to, since Microsoft needs hardware mg computer doesn't have. I can't imagine most people would care enough to even think about that. They'd just keep using the computer until it no longer worked, and in the modern day, that will take a lot longer than it would have a decade or two ago.

Especially since discoverability has pretty much gone down the toilet, between SEO and spam sites.

You're not going to as easily find a new and interesting website, when the first few results are just computer generated regurgitated text, stuffed with ads by the gill.

Complexity? You either need a drain, or a supply of water, that can't be easy to work with, and unlike with a refrigerant loop, you can't just reverse it to dry/wet things.

Could you not just get an eGPU dock, and do it that way?

Its like the problems around the ozone hole, or acid rain.

A lot of people scrambled and worked very hard to find an alternative that didn't cause problems, and now it's almost like they never existed, and people think it was much ado over nothing.

I don't think it will. It hasn't so far, despite there having been linux phones in the past, and it's got the Windows Phone/Symbian problem where users don't go to it because it lacks support for the apps they use, and developers don't support it because it doesn't have much by way of users.

If you have a chronic health condition, are particularly ill, or have a disability, good luck. You'll need it.

Or give an option to toggle. Surely letting people turn it off would save them even more resources, if they don't have to bother with upscaling the video in the first place.

The characters not being conventionally attractive and “gender non-conforming” weren’t problems.

Just take Overwatch as an example. People aren't exactly ranting about how Winston (a Gorilla) isn't sexually attractive, and therefore represents the moral downfall of society and that. He's just there.
