I sail the high seas of the Lemmyverse, posting snarky + Lefty comments
Poe’s law comment
Is this international unity?
Steal language fragments AND butcher them, it’s the English way!
I have no idea what is correct French, but the first phrase is the one that is used in English, I have never heard the second
Yield to the call of the firehose of Hot + All

And thus we see the power of financialization be laid low by the power of real production
Truly one of the greatest cover images of all time
That depends, do you have the “rich” status condition?
yes, he uses the hype investor cash that poured into the ai boondogle to cover his insane twitter purchase and literally bail himself out of his stupidity
This was mentioned in the write-up, the password manager didn’t autofill, but he was too out of it to notice at first
I think the main reason is because the vast majority of Lemmings are former Redditors so Lemmy is popular where Reddit is popular
I wonder how many non-white, non-european women have endured this same treatment without a sound from the media
My speculations:
“insecure from the start” - as in , the wallet was never that “cold”
with that amount of money, it’s easy to imagine an “insider threat”
the hackers could have gotten lucky and struck right when the company was doing legitimate operations on the wallet
but probably it’s a towering mountain of incompetence, composed of the elements above and more
Luigi taught us how to do propaganda of the deed right:
no civilian casualties

Hard to say right now. The article suggests that the banks are just trying to free up cash on their balance sheets. However, this could instead be an indication that they are looking for a “bigger fool” to take the losses. I personally think the bottom won’t fall out of Xitter until the tesla share price crashes. Elon bought some time with credulous fools with the ridiculous cybercab demo, but that can’t last forever. At that point I think the only question is whether SpaceX gets pulled down with all the rest of the musk ventures
Fair enough, I capitulated and I use spotify for podcasts now
Have you used Firefox recently? There are a few chrome only sites but I’ve been daily driving it for a few months and it’s mostly upside
ELI5: a database is the “memory” of a program.
Every piece of data that any software uses almost certainly comes from and goes to multiple databases.
Once the data is stored, you can execute “queries” to have powerful access to update many records at a time, read particular records based on their relationship to other records, and so much more.
Your bank balances, your purchase history, your emails, every part of your digital life is almost certainly spread across a constellation of databases.
Bonus Fediverse content:
Lemmy itself uses the Postgres database extensively. Posts, users, comments, votes and more are all individually stored in the database.
Mastodon also uses Postgres. If a post goes up on Lemmy, and a Mastodon server is federated with it, the Lemmy server will send out a HTTP request to the Mastodon server containing the contents of the post. The Mastodon server will use this information to write its own record of the post in its own database.
Regarding your question about VMs: You can run a database inside a VM, or give the VM access to an outside database via queries, or both! You might run SQLlite (a small and excellent embedded database) on the VM to track its local state, while also running queries against a large postgres database to synchronize with other services in the cluster.
What argument are you even trying to make here?
