The problem is that USB flash drives don’t keep their data intact for very long when they’re powered down. It lasts long enough for everyday use, but not even as long as a hard disk for archival.

USB sticks and SSDs are no good for long-term storage. The data on them degrades rapidly if they’re not powered up. Spinning disks last longer. So your process would be better done with those.

Huh? USB is a connector, not an archival format.

It’s a shame their capacity lags so far behind current hard drives. And not many drives for these discs are still made, so what are the chances of them becoming unreadable just because no one has equipment to read them?

In the short term. In the long term they’ll be better off. But apparently the long term doesn’t matter to them when there are short-term gains to be had.

Doesn’t sound like that’s his plan:

So, hear me when I say this: no more money without reform.

Sounds like he wants to change the NHS’s priorities before making any new investment.

Yes, has anyone considered taxing corporations and the rich?

Only yesterday I came across this link thanks to Lemmy - be warned it’s gruesome:

The thing about the far right is it tends to get out of control and ends up eating its own. Politicians give it momentum and by the time they want to put the brakes on, it’s no longer theirs to stop.

I once accidentally ate dog shit when I was a kid. Even this lunch tasted better than that. But, as you can see, my standards haven’t changed that much.

Yeah it’s fake meat. Not classy or healthy or anything. Just brown.

You’re right. The hope is that they’re not enough and he fails to attract anyone else.

It will not put off his voters. Some of them just don’t care about anything international. Others admire Putin as a strongman who isn’t afraid to kill his enemies and persecute minorities, a moral conservative, a self-professed Christian, an ally against democracy and a defender of the same bigotries they share.

40.8% of the 43.5% that bothered to vote in 2022. So about 17.7% of the voters.

Man, these NYT headlines. In the article they admit there’s no evidence to support Israel’s claims that Hamas militants were hiding in the schools and shelters they bombed - all they have is the IDF’s word. But in the headline they definitely spin it a different way.

Hopefully people see that they can oppose both Israel’s genocide and Islamist homophobia at the same time. There’s no obligation to downplay either.

Attacking LGBT people is how they virtue signal to other hateful people.

I think it’s worse than that. They are motivated by real hatred and have repeatedly called for the “eradication” of trans people. They must not be given a chance to show us how serious they are about that.

They don’t care, so long as those who dislike them can’t vote.
