It's easier to sell a tax hike if you know exactly where it's going :)

At this point, to me, it's fuck reddit, spez is just a scapegoat that does what the board wants and all other admin happy to comply, he doesn't own it like elon owns twitter

So what happened to the whole "every part is tracked from production to installation and through maintenance checks?"

So they created a massive vulnerability by misimplementing speculative execution which promised a, what, 10% speed gain tops and now that it was discovered you have to patch it and lose 50%? Genius.

What is Facebook these days? My grandma spends all day on it, she hardly speaks...just swiping...when I sneak a peek, it's just chain-mail-like bullshit one after the other with a few disguised ads for things she can't afford in between...ugh :vomit:

The moment my cryptofan buddy started talking up brave, I knew it was time to uninstall.

probably the same people that say abortion is murdering kids...

Sigh...I just want a technology community where I don't have to see images of musk's face on the top results every day :/

Still, one of the key aspects of piracy is discreteness and these debates and notoriety don't help with that. Piracy does not look for you, you look for it, if you know how to find out how. The last thing I want is for every single Lemmy thread about netflix to have a top comment saying piracy is better than streaming.

Do they have this saying in France: "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater" ? These days, everyone seems so intent on breaking what we have that at the end I'm not sure what we're going to have left.

If this works, it's better than anything we have , which costs grid energy and dumps brine all the same. If anything, the smaller scale makes it easier to distribute and dilute the output brine.

or "spezzit"

It's not clear from the article, but if this is a direct solar-to-dessalination I can understand how it uses less energy (why does it use any energy at all?) than other methods with pumps and filters, the issue is rate maybe, but I can't find a paper about this.

Found https://fuelcellsworks.com/news/malaga-students-patent-an-innovative-solar-desalination-system-to-produce-green-hydrogen/ which says it produces 1 cubic meter per day, which is great for small-scale seaside production. Again, I have no access to details of how 1 square meter of sunlight (or more, maybe they use mirrors to concentrate sunlight, it says 9 square meters, as kerfuffle mentioned) can dessalinate 1 cubic meter of water per day, but it's great if it works, just wondering why solar dessalination hadn't been tried to this degree of success before.

I don't think I've seen a single post about sports in Lemmy. Ever. Same with mastodon.

No more cheap russian gas and oil, internal combustion engine expertise and all the associated pieces and submarkets being phased out in favour of simpler electric cars...it's going to be a few hard years until they find a new export industry to perfect. I'd expect hydrogen-based aviation or pharma, maybe even semiconductors, they'll figure it out.

The UKs position today is arguably due more to leading the Industrial Revolution and that was the main factor in the decay of slavery, so you need to balance historic grievances with development i.e. "what have the Romans ever done for us?"

All potentially useful public health news should be publicly available :)

And it won't even be by governments, probably it will be a corporation like Facebook or Xcorp 💀

Sweet logo, ngl

I can't, can't afford to go to college or watch films or read plays to become a better director, programmer, writer. Maybe I'm unemployed too :( fuck me, right?

And who could forget granny's: when you're left handed, "YOU'RE THE LITERAL SPAWN OF SATAN" ok, dear?

I love that, it's almost like how banks make money with loans: create money out of thin air, lend it, profit.

さよなら　モテルフケル 🦭

Even experts can't keep up with all the developments :/

Haha, I feel solace in knowing that we suffer together, pull yourself up by your flipflop straps, right?

I don’t think desalination is the solution.

Solution to what?

Literally all rainwater comes from solar-powered evaporative desalination. There is nothing better than that, whatever the use.

Xi vented his frustration, pointing fingers at his three predecessors -- Deng Xiaoping, Jiang and Hu.

"All the issues that were left by the previous three leaders are on my shoulders" he is believed to have said. "I've spent the last decade tackling them but they remain unresolved. Am I to blame?"

So Deng left the one-child policy, Jiang left financialization/inequality and Hu left the housing bubble?

No luck, it's a systemic issue (practice):

Update: Intel’s Downfall was closely followed by AMD’s Inception, a newfound security hole affecting all Ryzen and Epyc processors. The first independent testing of the mitigation microcode patches show that it can drastically lower performance in certain workloads. We’ve included details throughout this post.

And still email is not dead yet! I hope it's starting to become clear to people that protocols last much longer than platforms, even if platforms look like they can test new things faster.

maybe it needs a little curation, but once you've blocked the instances, communities and users that are personally annoying to you, it's a fun and engaging place with the usual share of human noise. Maybe some people are happy to have reddit choosing what deserves to reach your eyes, I like to do it myself :)

Some people even get sick just from the wrong FoV and motion speed combination in 3D games, this is just 10 times worse.

Keep it in your hard drive and carry it with you, this was not a hard problem 20 years ago, but we're being conditioned to regression in expectations and functionality. Better than yet another blockchain overkill and works offline.

PS: just like the creeptobros say: "not in your disk, not your file." or something like that.

But what did they expect would happen, that more people would subscribe to pro? In the beginning I thought they just wanted to survey-farm usage to figure out what the most popular use cases were and then sell that information or repackage use-cases as an individual added-value service.

Subnautica...when I was so immersed that I went too deep...didn't have enough time to return to the surface to breathe...and then looked up in anguish and saw that dreaded refraction "circle" hundreds of meters above you... THE DEEP HAS YOU, THERE IS NO ESCAPE

Uh, how is it better than a security camera? Can it dispense pepper spray or chase dudes up stairs?

Ok, fine, at least you're consistent.

Ok, I'll go to chatgpt then

We need this for babies :)

Yea, I checked worldnews today: there are these bot-like irrelevant comments on major subs, small subs abandoned...askhistorians is a little slow...maybe people are just on holiday having fun and such :D, is instagram full of holiday bragging?

Also annoying: you can't leave the house without your tracking device anymore :/
