Pro: way more variety of edibles I can't make myself (like fruit gummies), and I know the strength before I consume.

Not really a con, but a letdown: legal retailers can't really compete with drug dealers prices, so it didn't hurt the illegal drug industry or generate as much taxes as hoped.

Agree with the pros, not really with the cons to the extreme that you describe.

Do you have to back up everything off site?

Maybe there are just a few critical files you need a disaster recovery plan for, and the rest is just covered by your raidz

Dithering is much older than jpeg.

They used dithering in printed media, so it was transfered to digital media as a way to save on color depth, before jpeg got invented.

Back when image compression was just reducing the resolution and color depth.

It just sounds forced to me.

It's never said by people who created this slang as kids growing up with computers, it's like managers who just invented it in their 40somethings.

Like they're trying to be cool, but it's just not cool

You can still do it, just anywhere.

"double click" to mean "focus on" or "explore in more depth"
