I’ve found that for single person purposes, a RAID array is unnecessary. I just buy beefy 8TB drives. If it dies, just download any recent torrents again or pull a backup

I don’t think it’s a joke or even paranoid, just a bee noticing the effect of a quirk of human brains.

Noticing an illogical thing because their brain took a shortcut and dusted the fallout under a rug isn’t an easy experience. The first instinct is not to assume our mind has broken, it’s to try to find the answer to make the event explainable. Often that involves thinking only inside the scope of the event because no other information is immediately apparent.

Consider the sheer cost of this. Shipping, especially overnight shipping, is incredibly expensive. Stores get stock on on or two regular days of the week and have a crew dedicated to just unloading that truck and getting everything on shelves, a process that takes days.

Stores could not profit enough to put items in your path in the hope that you might buy them in this way.

Most likely the change here is that you’re now noticing these items where you previously didn’t. This is a documented psychological effect.

People often look at a car they like and suddenly see that same model of car all over. People didn’t suddenly buy those cars to drive around for you, this isn’t the Truman Show. You’re just noticing them where before you didn’t even register them as anything other than a backdrop, a random blade of grass.

JVM can run on any platform that supports Java, as you’re building Kotlin directly into Java bytecode.

Multiplatform is for building native applications while using a single backend logic. You’ll have to write separate handlers for everything unique to the platform, according to documentation.

It’s pretty easy to just not put the AI tag on things, or to strip such things away from an image.
