Pretty much lol, well put!

From my understanding, Iran doesn’t have nuclear weapons yet. What they destroyed is essentially a factory that creates one of the key ingredients required for making nuclear weapons. It’s not a weapon yet, and it’s not explosive yet. Iran’s still a ways away from making that.
I super highly recommend William Spaniel on YouTube. He hasn’t covered this bombing yet (I’m sure he will within a few hours), but a few days ago he did briefly go over the process of making nuclear bombs, you should check it out: youtu.be/XA1CQp_oJ90?t=480
Either way it’s an amazing channel for understanding world affairs, I really can’t recommend it enough. Go watch any of his recent videos, they’re short and well worth it.

I realize this isn’t serious but holy shit Prozac might have saved my life. Well, technically Prizma which is the same stuff. I went through so many unsuccessful depression treatments, Prizma is the only one that seems to be sticking. Sometimes the old stuff is just the best.
Worth noting that all treatments were in conjunction with psychotherapy, I don’t think pills alone would have helped. And I also tried going without medication at all for a while, it wasn’t good either. Prizma really is the only thing that works for me.

I just recently looked into Secure Boot and from my understanding it’s not a Microsoft lock-in. Many Linux distributions are signed with keys that are loaded by default, and advanced users can even add custom signatures to their computer so Secure Boot would accept them. The original fear around Secure Boot was legitimate, but by now we know the worst outcome of it didn’t come to pass.
That said, I did disable it on my new PC because I think the chance of it causing issues is greater than the chance it will actually protect me from bootloader malware, and I’m willing to accept that risk and responsibility.
- Comment on Nvidia debuts a native GeForce NOW app for Steam Deck, supporting games in up to 4K at 60 FPS; in testing, the app extended Steam Deck battery life by up to 50% 3 weeks ago:
Sure, it would have, but I was following the time-honored tradition of reading only the title and the Lemmy comments without clicking through to the full article. If that comment hadn’t been there, it is possible that my intrigue and confusion would have been sufficient to make me betray my legacy and bring shame to my family by actually reading the linked article. Disaster avoided!

Oh, thanks, I needed that to understand what this was talking about.

- Comment on Is there any fundamental difference between an instance and a formal website ? 4 weeks ago:
I really can’t explain more than I already have. If you want to learn more, Wikipedia is a great resource for this. The article I linked and other articles linked within it would be the place to start.
- Comment on Is there any fundamental difference between an instance and a formal website ? 4 weeks ago:
So just a website?
Websites of all types are hosted by servers. These servers can run any kind of software they want in order to serve web pages to users. There are countless different options for server software (see just some of the options on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/…/Comparison_of_web_server_softw…), and they can run on different operating systems (Windows, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, macos, …). Two servers can serve very similar or even identical websites but run completely different software, and similarly, two servers can use the same software but serve totally different websites.
Basically it’s a free-for-all.

Hard to answer without some context. Got any examples for “formal website”?
In the fediverse an “instance” is any server which is running the software in question. For example, fosstodon is an instance of Mastodon. mastodon.social is also an instance of Mastodon.
- Comment on Interesting question I really hadn't thought about 5 weeks ago:
I know they do it sometimes in media but I don’t know - nor do I want to know - if it’s common at all in real life.

Why does the majority of your post read like you don’t know these exist? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_power_connector
They’re fine, but as you mentioned in the first paragraph, lack of a standard is their main drawback. You could find two power supplies with the exact same connector but different voltage and polarity.

I assume this is two statements: one without the parentheses, and one where each parenthesized word replaces the word before it. This is a compact, but borderline unreadable way to write two statements with the same structure. I hate it.

There are exceptions to every rule. Sometimes it ends up being “between five and 15” which is psychotic.
