You're describing swap.

You're missing the forest for the tree here.

Given identical client setups, two clones of a git repo are identical. That's duplication, and it's an intentional feature to allow concurrent development.

A CDN works by replicating content in various locations. Anycast is then used to deliver the content from any one of those locations, which couldn't be done reliably without content duplication.

Blockchains work by checking new blocks against previous blocks. In order to fully guarantee the validity of a block you need to guarantee every block, going back to the beginning of the chain. This is why each root node on a chain needs a full local copy of it. Duplication.

My point is that we have a lot of processes that rely on full or partial duplication of data, for several purposes: concurrency, faster content delivery, verification, etc. Duplicated data is a feature, not a bug.

"By your powers combined, I'm Captain Damnit!"

I would argue that duplication of content is a feature, not a bug. It adds resilience, and is explicitly built into systems like CDNs, git, and blockchain (yes I know, blockchains suck at being useful, but nevertheless the point is that duplication of data is intentional and serves a purpose).

Most scroll wheels use an optical sensor inside the housing to monitor the motion of the wheel. If you got paint inside the housing then it can confuse the sensor.

Question: did you take off the top of the mouse to paint it, or at least tape off any areas that needed to be protected like the scroll wheel and the bottom sensor?

Just like you cannot vote for your country's submission in Eurovision, you cannot vote for your instance's submission in Lemmyvision. So if you picked lemmy.ca as your instance then the voting form should be excluding our three submissions.

I feel like Constant Panic 24 is more like Fox "News", but yeah daytime CTV is not far behind.

Joke's on you, I use a trackball.

Nice ad hominem.

The screenshot puts the title of the article out of context, and incorrectly frames The Atlantic as defending late stage capitalism. The body of the article is a review of the history of egg farming.

Link to the actual article. It's a good read, and in no way does it try to justify the raise in egg prices. It talks about the history of chicken and egg farming in the 20th century, the supply chain needed to bring as many eggs to consumers, and is critical of how the growing demand led to factory farming and horrible conditions for the chickens.

I'm not opposed to the message, but did it have to be an AI generated picture?
