It is bizarre how much of a comic book villain Musk has turned in to.

Instead of agreeing to nebulous things like “limit to 2 degrees”. International politics should have focused on specifics like “hey, at least don’t make any new coal plants”.

TBF people have done this too.

Surely porn is known to California to cause cancer.

You love to see it. Quality dev team.

The website you want won’t let you in with firefox. Only chrome on windows with secure boot enabled and no untrusted drivers or dev mode and https-dns to avoid your pihole.

No. This is called “15/70 Imax”. There are very very few theaters that have this. The “Imax” you’ll find at the local mall is totally different.

“ Think of cable as delivering all pieces in one truck whereas streaming must send different pieces through different delivery trucks," said Biao Chen, a professor of electrical engineering

And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes - Ted Stevens (R-Alaska)

But seriously, if they aren’t as delayed as the pirate sites they are doing fine. ESPN’s streaming isn’t much behind live tv.

It would be a shame to lose valuable things like there I ruined it, which seem to be a perfectly fair use of copyrighted works. Copyright is already too strong.

I would have thought shooting the laser would just cause lightning to strike the laser emitter itself. But they can tweak the laser to make the air ionization start some distance from the emitter. So, they can make the lighting strike something else. There is a neat picture in the article showing lighting going along, then following the laser beam down for a bit, then leaving the laser beam and going to a tower. People first tried this in 1999.

We are overdue for strengthening fair use.

Cheering for Oracle is certainly an unexpected turn of events, but here we are. They are absolutely right that RedHatIBM’s motivations are simply to kill competition and obtain vendor lock-in by ending RHEL compatibility. RedHat is truly dead.

The US needs to butt out and stop supporting them entirely.

Hyperloop and Loop are not the same thing. Loop is Teslas in small cheap tunnels. Hyperloop is high speed trains in vacuum tubes.

Too bad builtin reddit search completely sucks.

I don’t think they’ve heard of second fee, Elon.

It would be nice if the welcome page would tell you what community it will be redirecting you too. Right now it looks like something hijacked my browser; I don’t really trust it.

Also, I got error 500 after entering my hostname.

And it might take some effort. But if you had a searchable select box populated with a master list of instances, that might be pretty cool.

In the end, training everyone to make lmmy.to urls when they reference a community may be too difficult. This needs to be a builtin feature of the lemmi web ui somehow.

Be sure to research the ink sponge situation on the ecotank. When it is full, epson has drm to force you to get licensed service to replace it. No expensive cartridges, but expensive sponge instead.

It’s when one boob is much bigger than the other.

It is insane to put this on Android and not iOS.

All I’m saying is that there has been a conspiracy to get us to burn oil, avoid clean energy, and it just so happens that lizards like higher temperatures.

Google maps doesn’t do user supplied maps. 230 isn’t relevant.

I like that photon doesn’t use the user’s display name in place of just the user name. That’s an annoying twitter-like feature.

They don’t want you to talk about female dogs.

They have upgraded the satellites over the years. They probably are disposing of the old ones. Solar flares do increase drag, but it doesn’t suddenly deorbit satellites that have thrusters.

I mostly agree, but look at the Technology community. Technology@beehaw.org, Technology@lemmy.ml, Technology@kbin.social, Technology@lemmy.world. They are all about the same thing and subscribing them all gets a lot of dupes.

It’s not all duplicates.

I enjoyed asking Microsoft, I mean Bing, how to install Linux from scratch. It is actually really helpful and even expressed hope that I would “enjoy the process and learn from it.”

(i use arch, btw)

You can’t donate to Wikipedia, only to wiki media, which spends it on all kinds of shit.

Politicians probably allow themselves to call everyone.

As far as I can tell, SUSE Liberty Linux will be the RHEL fork.

mastodon.world announced they won’t block threads yet and lemmy.world has the same owner.

I hear some had success with it, but then Reddit got overwhelmed and stopped responding to it.
