This here is the Volt family.

Marty volt is small and so he can jump across a small stream. Put up a small net and it’s impossible for him

Victor, though. He’s got some strong legs. He can jump the net and the stream.

In fact, he’s so strong he can jump over a small river but not if you put a small wall across the way. Then, even with a running jump, he’ll be blocked.

And finally there’s Kal, ahem, Clark Volt. He’s super strong. So strong it could be an ocean and with a little jaunt before leaping he’d jump it.

The stronger the volt, the further they can go and the bigger the obstacle you need to make it impossible for them to make it.

So high enough voltage can literally leap through air (that’s the arcing you see in power plants shorting or lightning) or even wood itself. Even rubber, with a high enough voltage, will be conductive since the sheer force of the current will find a path for the charge.

That’s also why we have lighting rods, it’s easier to redirect the current to a safe spot made to handle it than to try and make high skyscrapers out of a material that can resist the insane charges of lightning and still be strong enough and light enough to build with.

What happens to posts/comments and any media/content that is hosted on a server that just goes away (for example if I created one virtually and then deleted it or if a sdcard on a pi is corrupted)

Roy Batty isn’t the villain… he’s a victim of the entire system that treats him like one because he exists.

Man… I gotta watch that movie again, fantastic film

They could be. Or they could be sales, or brand ad coordination, or hr, or legal handling the various issues related to products, lawsuits, regulations, actual law enforcement inquiries, etc.

Like any corporation there’s a ton of backend staff doing stuff people don’t see because it makes the parts they do see operate.

The issue isn’t trust. It’s the same as anything else electronic such as having a backdoor to encryption.

Anything physical requires a certain amount of effort to break in such a way that is widespread and without making it obvious.

But purely digital/online means that any bad faith actor with enough resources (such as nation states) can scale up the means and methods to manipulate it or break it.

I’m all for electronic voting for tallying with physical paper trails that can be used to verify the integrity of the digital results.

Might want to put a disclaimer that the WiiU port doesn’t count

Wow. I completely missed the title….

OuterWilds. It’s a masterpiece.

Because it’s progression system/locks is about what you know (you, the flesh and blood person playing it) it’s really hard to explain why it’s so good without spoiling some aspect of the game

As an aside kudos for the accessible description of the image.

Chrome has something similar but you have to set it up as a custom search engine

And make it easier for Reddit to take the moral high ground by saying that those protesting the changes are somehow aligned with this group.

All I can say is this. Get off my side, you’re making me look bad whether you intended to or not.

What would be great would be some list (maybe a wiki) showing where each community has gone.

E.g. 3Dprinting has a discord here, squabble there, and these lemmy instances.

That way the communities can find them and, in time, migrate toward whichever one(s) make sense

Or help if you get the ambiguity out of the way up front. So later when somebody says “hey… I’m going to use your art to sell this multi-million dollar product” or to advertise some unsavory service you’d rather not have your stuff asssociated with there’s clarity on what they could and couldn’t do. And it makes any recourse (if it requires going the legal route) easier.

Like a dentist, always cheaper and better to go with their advice in order to prevent more costly issues down the road.
