On one hand - yes Meta followed the legal requirement, but the bigger picture is that people always say “so what it’s <insert deficiency> just don’t do anything illegal”. But that’s only fine when legality matches morality. And the disparity has been growing lately.
I think the best solution there is so far is to require captcha for every upvote but that’d lead to poor user experience. I guess it’s the cost benefit of user experience degrading through fake upvotes vs through requiring captcha.
To be fair, new programmers generally don’t know enough to construct a proper Google query either. And yes there are some lazy people who just don’t try. But sometimes you know what you want to achieve but any query you try seems to be unhelpful. For example, if I want to learn how to store settings in c++ the first link for me tells me to use boost. Now I need to learn about linking libraries and 300 other boost-isms. While anyone with any basic knowledge could recommend reading strings line by line and splitting the string on the equal sign.
I define success of a social network proportional to the level of fun in having there. So far Mastodon and Lemmy are the most successful for me.
Creeper World. It’s technically a tower defense, but the enemy is fluid, constantly pouring out of spawn area. And the game has a pretty good story line.
Plugged one ethernet outlet to another on accident. But they were wired to the same dumb switch. So essentially I connected two switch ports together. This took the school network down for 4 days 😂
My wife is an RDH and she got us this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HFQQ0VU it's expensive but I love it - ever since I started using it I have less build up (according to my dentist) and my gums don't hurt at all. The first few times I used it it was also very gross because whatever tiny food particles it picked up from my gums smelled very bad.
The only word of caution is if you have prosthetics/crowns/dentures you need to select a tip that is made for that job. The default tip might not clean right or even break some of the smaller parts (the pressure level can be adjusted so it depends on what can you tolerate, but over time you'll be able to tolerate more and more pressure because your gums will heal)
