how dare you make him sound fun

also absolutely true!

i’d even say that anti-capitalist and anti-capitalism are different things too

being anti-capitalist is not the same as being a tankie. conflating the 2 is how labels get diluted

there are some applications that just don’t work without energy dense fuels: planes, rockets, etc

in these cases, i’d argue it makes sense to run them on fossil or bio fuels and then pay to offset 100% of their emission with carbon capture, or in the case of bio fuels perhaps that’s enough since the carbon was captured and you’re just re-emitting it?

either way, emitting carbon isn’t the problem: not cleaning up after yourself is the problem… if it’s more economical to burn fuel and clean up elsewhere, fine… as long as it gets cleaned up

strings? ints? floats, arrays, HASHMAPS? so inefficient… just directly access memory!!!

zack freedman on youtube created his own, and i seem to remember went through the build process if you’re interested

it’s not something you’d necessarily wear out, but apparently the utility value is very high

i believe the only problem with fast charging is when the battery gets too hot. if there’s adequate cooling, i think it doesn’t matter how fast you charge the battery

i don’t necessarily disagree with how they’ve chosen to proceed in the US: personally, on this single issue ignoring all others I probably wouldn’t make the same decision but i don’t think it’s cut and dry (for Google)

what i think is completely fucked is they’ve stated they’re making the change for the entire world (last time i heard)… fuck you google: the world isn’t ruled by the US government… we, unlike the US, tend to follow global standards: metric, borders, place names… we have organisations that determine those. we don’t want to be part of the US (hi canada, hi greenland), we don’t want to follow you everywhere

Gulf of Mexico

worth repeating every time until the message is crystal clear

(looking at you Google you absolute boot licking assholes)

i think that the existence of the disease is more of a maguffin than the point that the solution was achieved without section 31… the “problem” could have been any number of unrelated things (eg some spacial anomaly threatening the founders for some reason, etc) and the fact that it’s s31 is more an interesting plot device to create other narratives around, rather than degrading the ultimate point

i agree, but there’s lots of waste in the world. this is just the way of things, and the best we can do is push for making things iteratively better over time - this is that… a wasteful use of money, but at least it’s pushing in the direction of open

bsky is an upgrade from twitter, and has methods to allowe limited interoperability to the fediverse… the biggest hurdle to fediverse adoption at the moment is that you can’t leave fb/ig/twitter/etc without abandoning all your connections there with no ability to communicate cross platform. the choice to leave is dramatic… if everyone moves to bsky, that’s a far better proposition for eventual fediverse adoption because with things like bridges, the barrier to move to the fediverse is much lower - perhaps a slight inconvenience, rather than outright loss

this is one of my favourite things. log in with plex and it’ll create a chronologically accurate playlist of any content you have

i mean, the sea level doesn’t have to be a limit… people edit wikipedia etc or contribute to reddit just because they like their number to be higher or their community reputation. i get that it’s meant to encourage contribution, but i think you’ll get more contribution by people just wanting to make the information better

you’re right; that’ll teach them! delete your pirated copy of tng to teach ‘em a lesson

now we just need him to cameo on the orville… i expect they’d do it so perfectly
