I live in New Zealand and there are many 24/7 McDonalds in busy areas. Clicking randomly on their NZ map it’s pretty easy to find them: https://mcdonalds.co.nz/find-us/restaurants

It’s the same with Australia: https://mcdonalds.com.au/find-us/restaurants

Actually, the same for the US. It’s not hard to find 24/7 ones (you need to search for a city before they show on the map): https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/restaurant-locator.html

Are you saying that there are not many McDonalds that advertise 24/7 service, or that they advertise this but don’t actually provide it?

They have over 40k locations. Many are 24/7. They also surely churn through employees, have many part time employees, and probably get many more applicants than they hire.

The employees will be hired by the franchisees but they still use the McDonalds software.

Millions is not a surprise to me at all. Perhaps that it’s tens of millions is a little surprising, but it still seems within the realm of possibility.

I guess the point is that it shows the correlation between processed food and cancer is statistically significant. As in there is definitely a link, and this meta analysis shows good evidence this link exists. Even if the impact is small.

As for the day to day impact of this study, I’m not sure there is one. Processed food is already on WHOs list of things that definitely cause cancer.

Getting a colorectal cancer probability in a lifetime is about 0.04, eating hotdog adds 8% to it or ~0.003.

Depending on the average amount of processed meats eaten, it could also show not eating a hot dog every day will reduce your risk of cancer by about that much. It’s probably only important in the cumulative though. When we have studies like this for many foods, you could put together a diet that reduces your chance of cancer by 20 or 30%, say. But one food’s impact like this is probably only important to scientists.

So getting back to your original question:

Like… is it written to excite anxiety?

Yes. Anxiety drives clicks which drives revenue.

Hmm odd. Maybe just try again?

That’s odd. How far did you get? Any error?

Federation from your instance Lemmy.world to the instance the community is on (programming.dev) is healthy, so that doesn’t seem to be the issue.

My guess would be that you’ve tried to upload an image that is over the size limit - I think this is imposed by your own instance (Lemmy.world), and I’m not sure what the size limit is but I think 5MB per image is pretty common. If you drop the image size or upload elsewhere then link it, does that work?

I feel like it still does sometimes, with some sites that feel like they are nearly a whole OS in themselves.

What about [email protected]?

Or if you are using Home Assistant you could post in [email protected]

There is a Lemmy community search function here if you want to check other options: https://lemmyverse.net/communities

I’ve heard social media where you interact with strangers instead of “friends” referred to as “antisocial media”.

I’m no expert, and I’m running Bazzite (and previously Nobara), both of which have the RPM installed by default so I don’t think I’ve ever used the Steam Flatpak. But things mentioned in the thread are VR and Gamescope.

I do wonder if any issues are related to permission restrictions that could be resolved editing permissions with Flatseal, but I don’t know enough about the issues.

The two solutions I’ve seen presented in the thread for the Steam problem are to run Steam in a flatpak or a distrobox. I’m not sure if using distrobox has the same issues as flatpak.

It’s way too early to make that call. This is a proposal for collecting feedback. I am not sure if this has been proposed before, but I would guess you would make these proposals from time to time to gauge the feedback, and when you see support for keeping it fall to a low level you can finally make the jump. As one of the comments in the thread mentions, now might not be the right time but you can’t keep supporting it forever. Eventually you push 32 bit apps into emulators like what happened with 16 bit.

Ah you’re right. It seems Steam only provides a *.deb as far as I can tell.

The comments in the thread don’t mention Steam itself, but it’s that running all the 32 bit games will become a problem. Steam’s flatpak packages the 32 bit packages so that can get around this change, but the flatpak is not official and does not support all features. Steam themselves only provide the RPM for Fedora.

As reiterated by the OP, the proposal is just a proposal and was proposed with heaps of lead time probably because they expected it to be controversial.

As also mentioned, heaps of volunteer time is spent maintaining the packages where most are barely used (even for gaming).

However, it does not seem like there is a viable alternative. Many comments say the suggested alternative, WINE’s WoW64, does not work for all games.

I can see both sides here. Fedora maintainers says “this is so much work!” and (mostly) gamers saying “But older games will stop working!”.

The response from the Bazzite guy does seem overblown to me. I would think the first step is to work out the impact, as I haven’t seen anyone quantify what proportion of games are affected and if there are alternatives like emulation.

I bought Baldur’s Gate 3 early on because it was on GOG. If you’re gonna release a AAA game DRM free on GOG when new I’m gonna support that.

I can’t remember the last time I bought a non-indie game soon after release. Maybe AOE2? I normally do the 5 year delay thing.

It may be both a factor of who you live with (the ones itching to get back to the office either lived alone or with people they didn’t really gel with), and could have also been the length of time we were in lockdown (we had one of the strongest in the world - for the first 6 weeks or so even McDonald’s wasn’t allowed to open). After a couple of months of not being allowed to leave the house and having no face to face contact with friends or family, I can understand the desire to get back to the office. The people I have in mind mostly lived close to the office, too.

One other factor may have been that our remote working infrastructure was in no way ready for the entire organisation to work from home with a couple of day’s notice. Video calls were just not possible for the first stretch as the work computers were all VPNed through a potato.

No problem! I’ve used it for years, though my home assistant running on a Raspberry Pi 4 is now doing the pi-hole thing with adguard instead as the original one was having issues. Though you get weird DNS quirks when the machine running DNS also relies on the internet.

Plus that time I did a dumb thing in home assistant to see what would happen, and it brought the internet down.

So I am keen to get another Pi. I highly recommend keeping it on a dedicated device you never touch except for updates!

This was also my experience during the main sweep of the pandemic. It was so great getting to cut the commute and be home. Something I have luckily managed to largely continue. Prior to the pandemic my kid was in daycare pretty much 7:30-5:30 so it was really nice to not have to do that, plus during our lockdown we used to go for a family walk at lunchtime.

While some of the single guys I worked with hated staying home and were straight back in the office the moment they were allowed.

I ran it on an original Raspberry Pi B which has the same RAM and a slower CPU than the original Zero! It was still in use as a Pi-hole (running the DietPi OS) until recently where it seems to be dying or not keeping up.
