I think the biggest problem I see with A to A is: who's delivering power, and who's receiving it? Maybe if you use it only with the device it came with then it'll be fine, but if anyone tries to just hook up that cable to two random computers, it might actually cause a short circuit and fry something.

Whereas Type-C was explicitly made to handle such situations.

Or a shorter reason: Type-C cable is allowed by the spec while Type-A is not.

Someone drew this. Someone thought of this, mulled it over, decided that they should draw it, then drew it, published it and shared it with everyone. This.

I will not have it!

I had to look it up. If you search Lamarck you find the guy, but the wikipedia page is massive. But searching 'Lamarck theory' brings up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamarckism . TL;DR: inheritance of acquired characteristics.

Lamarck argued that a blacksmith gets strong muscles from his work and his sons inherit those strong muscles.

Based on that photo I expected the woman lessons to be "fight, bleed, groan" too.

Okay but have you actually looked it up to make sure it's true? Never trust facts from random comments, no matter how reasonable they seem to be.

Any explanation for those of us who are not gun enthusiasts?

Is this self-documenting code?

Can I just say that is awful advice. There's an easy way to save it:

"Tell me where you are and I'll give you a few good options to start with"

When the poster is clearly a hopeless beginner this kind of response is useless and overwhelming in information that they have no chance of understanding.

He might, but that's the whole point of federation - there's hundreds of other instances (including the one you're using) that he can't buy all at once. If one instance gets taken over, Lemmy as a whole is still strong.

Even if he buys the organization developing Lemmy, I have faith the community will fork it and everyone will stop using Musk's version.
