I’m not sure, but with that much oxygen in the air I’m sure anything could “become” flammable, especially when atomized or turned into a powder. That’s why grain silos on farms are fire hazards; the dust.

A conductive powder floating into something electronic in a pressurized oxygen rich environment is no bueno.

Each individual has to decide based on their own ethics and preferences whether they’re willing to sacrifice their own personal experience for the right of ownership. I personally chose to cancel my Spotify subscription some time ago and start buying digital downloads and CDs again.

I mean you could always just use something to record the sound played by your PC, but at that point A) You’re not getting as good of quality as you would from an actual download of the source material and you’d have to manually assign metadata, make sure no notifications or other sounds played, make sure your recording settings were optimum, etc. It’s easier, right now at least, to just buy what you want on CD or from a store that sells digital downloads legitimately.
Gerowen@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The way two of the usb's are one way while the other is another wayEnglish10·2 months agoBlue usually indicates USB3 and the black are probably USB2. USB3 is “supposed” to be backwards compatible, and is most of the time, but I’ve ran into a few instances where USB2 devices don’t quite work as well or as reliably when connected to a USB3 port, so a lot of motherboard manufacturers still include a couple USB2 ports for things like keyboards and mice that don’t need the extra speed and may be finnicky on newer ports.

HDTracks and 7Digital both sell high quality DRM free downloads, or you can just swing by your local Walmart or Dollar Store and grab some CDs to rip.
Or you could go sailing, that’s always an option…

I’m already hosting my own PiHole and using Quad9 as my upstream, so I have DNS filters already in place. Some apps however if you use a restrictive DNS will just use Google DNS all on their own, so I like having the option to just disable network connectivity altogether for apps that don’t need it.
I’m not social enough to live like this. I like my solitude; hence why I live out in the woods. I have the “option” of inviting friends over, or going to their house, but when I/we have had enough, we can all just leave and go back home and we’re not still looking at each other from across the road.
I’m trying out LineageOS. It seems to have most of the user facing stuff I care about. I did have to manually install F-Droid, then add the repo for microG and install that, then manually install Aurora, so some more manual work was required, but it seems fine. It has options to deny network access to apps, though it’s a bit hidden in the network settings for each app instead of thru a “Firewall” app. It also comes with SeedVault so I was able to import my CalyxOS backup and get my apps and settings restored. My banking app (USAA) works fine too.

Libraries and encyclopedias. We had a set of encyclopedias, New World I think, and much later got Brittanica on CD-ROM.
It is the command line interface for libvirt/qemu/kvm on Linux. I usually just use virt-manager remotely via SSH to create and manage my VMs, but virsh can be handy as well.
