I try to respond to every genuine engagement. I block trolls, contrarians, and provocateurs because life is too short.
Me too! Nice to feel the joy of optimism occasionally.

Yeah.. I don't drink Coke often but I like caffeine free diet coke / coke zero. I don't want the sugar and I don't need caffeine.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯Yes but think of all the jobs they'll be earning by attracting META to build in their state with those massive tax writeoffs.. In their.. Automated.. Very lightly staffed datacenter..
Two things can be true at once.
They do still produce and use a lot of coal - highest in the world by country, but are transitioning to green energy (solar, wind, hydro etc) significantly more rapidly than most other nations.
Once that chart is updated for 2025 data it will show that China's fossil fuel use actually decreased in 2025 over 2024 for the first time ever, as shown in the Wiki table. While energy use increased, all renewable energy continued to increase from a 32.33% share in 2024 to a 35.58% share in 2025 and fossil fuels fell. Their nuclear share is also increasing several percent every year.
Compare and contrast to western natkons like US, Australia etc.. Our share of renewables is either increasing small amounts or flatlining, while fossil fuels mostly goes up.
Additionally even though they consume a lot of fossil fuels as a country, they're not near the per capita fossil fuel use of Australia, the US, Canada, and dwarfed by Singapore and gulf states (Qatar, UAE etc).
There's plenty to complain about with respect to China's government policies and actions, but their green energy policy is certainly not one of them IMO.
Better than their runner-up choice which was probably Microsoft XCopilot OneBox Pro.
Its not as egregious as you think. 'Everyone' group means every Synology user account - not that everyone on the network that can talk to the NAS, they'd still need both a Synology account and Shared folder permissions. Any Synology user trying to access those files would still have to have read and write access to the Share to actually access it (eg via file explorer SMB/CIFs or app-level access to Synology File Manager, or they would need to be granted SSH access to get in via terminal, etc) in order to R/w/m the files.
I know it's a bit confusing, but it's correct. Docker often causes confusion with file permissions. There are file-level permissions (this article) and there are share-level permissions. You need both to access folders and files via mapped drives / SMB, this setting is just to ensure that Docker containers which can be running as a variety of user names (depending on how you config docker and the container) don't experience issues accessing files you're expecting them to be able to access, as Synology says, the default Docker folder permission is for the 'everyone' group to have Read-only access. This should allow most Docker containers configs to at least run and then if you run into issues writing/modifying files.. That's a clue you have missed some file permission configuration settings that need to be done, and the only reason it's running at all is because that default 'everyone' permission is saving your butt.
I mean.. with the amount of times Microsoft has just decided to BitLocker user drives without approval and then accidentally locked people out of it with bad updates, they should be offering bugs like this to the public via tools as a means to access their old Bitlocker-trapped files.
Good reminder that if you do ever have important files encrypted and lose access to them - put the files (or drive) aside if financially viable, it will likely become accessible in the near to mid-term future via incompetence/bugs/advances.
Smells like sewerage (which is why they're banned in most hotels, planes, transit and enclosed spaces where they're common), tastes like a fancy dessert. It's a complex flavour that's honestly unique, and they don't all taste the same - various sub-varieties exist.
To me the most consistent flavour of them is a very creamy mild honeydew-melon and vanilla flavour, with a dash of banana. Very pleasantly floral and generally quite sweet.
Given that description you'd think I'd love them but I actually can't stand the smell and look (bro the fruit flesh looks like yellow turds), I've only ever eaten them under duress haha.
If I ever wake up feeling really ill and see someone wearing that Outbreak PPE, I think I'd just nod and flatline.
Discluded is an uncommonly used word, but it is a word. Could indicate the OP in image is from a UK-English country and an academic - they like the top shelf rare words.
Disclude is a verb that means to exclude or omit something.

I have a third hypothesis to add to the mix..

You could just say 'I sadly live in a country with lax consumer protections' and move on. I'd empathize.
If the product is faulty and within the mandated warranty or reasonable lifespan of the product, the manufacturer or supplier legally must remedy it in most countries.
Dont be shy to RMA RAM that's faulty. Even if its old - they will replace it. Yes, RAM is far more expensive now for them to RMA - but they are making absolute bank.
Samsung as an entire business reported profits up 800% in just the last 3 months. Memory was 90% of their earnings. That's insane when you look at how many market sectors they're in.
SK Hynix is up 500% last 3 months. Their operating margin is 72% which is also insane. Its essentially an indicator of markup against costs - true profits. Apple is known as offering famously overpriced "you pay for the name but you get pretty good service" products.. And their operating margin is just 27%. Any common huge grocery store you pick as comparison will be sitting at about 3-5% operating margin.
Don't believe any of them if they say they 'can't afford' to RMA you. Memory companies are currently the most valuable businesses in the world due to the AI market stupidity, and absolutely swimming in cash.
IMDb has been making shitty decisions for a long time. They have always been a business first, community last.
I doubt RT is much better but I use it mostly. It at least has been consistently the same amount of shitty UI since inception. TheMovieDb.org has a decent ratings system too and is getting more use, but again it's privately owned.
I'm not aware of a community run and operated ratings DB that's got any significant uptake.. Would be glad to hear of one if anyone knows.
Interesting numbers on the One Nation voters there, I'd have expected them to be ride or die Trumpers. Good to hear some of them have some comprehension of reality. Some.. They were still the highest percentage of responders that supported Trump & the US across all questions.
Yep. It's happening. Ignore the naysayers.
The market share data showing increase is still early to make sweeping predictions on, but that's not important because the processes driving the uptake are measurable and show consistent trends.
Windows won't get better. Apple won't get cheaper. Steam will continue supporting investment in Linux. Linux will continue to get more developers and community support and keep improving from its already very respectable usability.
It was Experts Exchange. Then they paywalled everything like greedy idiots - hiding decades of useful community knowledge.
Then everyone moved rapidly to StackExchange, which had coexisted but been quite small until EE did their thing.
