Won’t that make the front fall off?

I did call out data density in my first comment. Did you somehow miss that? Not all things that need storing are megabytes in size, though.

Why would you assume that paper means punch cards? Printers can store far more than a machine word on a page, are relatively cheap, and are widely available. For some things, this can be superior to both magnetic and flash storage.

I was excluding media that are impractical for most people to use.

Strictly speaking, I think paper beats magnetic tape on longevity.

Unfortunately, it loses on data density.

Not when done at a large scale.

Critics, however, see a more nefarious White House agenda – namely, gutting universities of what it sees as a liberal-left bias, while using antisemitism as a cudgel in an authoritarian power grab.

Seems to me that crying liberal bias is just a lie behind another a lie.

Education tends to counter authoritarianism/fascism.

From a Kirkland, Washington, USA health hazards sheet that I found in a quick search:

TIPS TO REDUCE EXPOSURES TO BISPHENOLS IN RECEIPTS:

• DO NOT compost or recycle receipts and other thermal paper. BPA & BPS residues from receipts will contaminate recycled paper.
• Minimize receipt collection by declining receipts at gas pumps, ATMs and other machines when possible.
• Never give a child a receipt to hold or play with.
• After handling a receipt, wash hands before preparing and eating food.
• Do not use alcohol-based hand cleaners after handling receipts. A recent study showed that these products can increase the skin’s BPA absorption.
• Take advantage of store services that email or archive paperless purchase records.
• Store receipts separately in an envelope in a wallet or purse.

HAZARDS FOUND IN LABORATORY TESTS INCLUDE:

• Obesity
• Diabetes
• Early Puberty
• Cardiovascular system disorders
• Abnormal reproductive system development
• Hormone abnormalities in children
• Susceptibility to various cancers
• Resistance to chemotherapy
• Diminished intellectual capacity

I was referring to the image-only link and the embed that you suggested. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

Neither of those is a good approach, because part of every xkcd comic is the hover text.

Why is he so interested in Greenland? Is it just the natural resources?

I often sit at a desk all day and all evening. I find that these things help:

• Good chair. Height adjusted for my keyboard/mouse height. Upright back. Lumbar support. Comfortable-but-supportive seat.
• Good posture (when I remember to pay attention to it).
• Split, tented keyboard. Mechanical switches that don’t require too much pressure.
• Good display. IPS panel. Light anti-glare surface. Backlight that actually dims the light source, either without pulse-width modulation, or with PWM at such high frequency that it cannot induce flicker fatigue. Brightness turned down much lower than the default. Calibrated at that brightness setting, optionally to a slightly warm color temperature.
• Muted room lighting. Nothing behind me bright enough to reflect much on the screen.
• Comfortable clothes.
• Cup of water. Regular trips to the kitchen to keep it filled.
• Frequent short breaks. Start the laundry. Get a snack. Look at objects outside. Wash a dish. Bring in the mail. Make the bed.
• Exercise. At least 10 minutes daily; preferably 30 minutes or more. Stretches. Squats. Rhythm games that require full-body movement.

“There’s a lot of r-----s in the chat,”

What is a “r-----”?

Racoon?

Rocker?

Rodent?

Diablo Canyon, California’s sole remaining nuclear power plant, has been left for dead on more than a few occasions over the last decade or so, and is currently slated to begin a lengthy decommissioning process in 2029.

So this AI is apparently not operating a nuclear plant, which would be concerning.

For now, the artificial intelligence tool named Neutron Enterprise is just meant to help workers at the plant navigate extensive technical reports and regulations — millions of pages of intricate documents from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that go back decades — while they operate and maintain the facility.

Ah, that makes more sense. I hope it doesn’t end up leading humans away from correct understanding of safety regulations.

People should not be treated badly in general, but not “called out”?

I run into video-link-only posts in text forums on Lemmy every so often, and IMHO, they contribute little more than noise. There’s nothing wrong with encouraging their authors to at least add a summary or start a conversation about the subject matter. Without that, video links that aren’t of obvious widespread interest usually feel like they’re treating the rest of us as a click farm, whether we’re vision-impaired or not.
