Heh, now the parralel in my mind is developpers that put in microtransactions or force a subsribtion model with no option to buy.
By that logic, do you think anybody that works at walmart/amazon/any-company-that-has-shady-suppliers can't be good?
This feels a lot like pretty people saying that looks don't matter all of a sudden.
I wonder if there's a relation with people saying that what they have is not valuable.
I agree with the sentiment of your post, but I think the examples are a bit too far fetched:
I'd wager most people use a computer/phone on a daily basis, which is why having a basic understanding of it seems like knowledge we should all have.
Inversely, most people don't need even have a turbo in their car and many don't even have a car, so any knowledge relating to that is probably useless for them.
That being said, even if someone is less knowledgeable in a field, respect should always be the baseline, as you illustrate, they're probably skilled in something else!
I'm saying that as an IT person that's aware that I'm making money mostly because people don't bother to learn all this, so in the end I don't mind that much.
Lab grown meat is more efficient, but some place are already outlawing it before it'seven available commercially... So I'm not too sure about the direction we're going.
Could you share the method you used to divide a single monitor from the OS perspective?
If you got the script or wiki page somewhere..
I'm curious
Those are very good points.
This specific source doesn't highlight it and I don't have the opportunity to find something else at the moment, but when I first heard about it ( in a ted talk that I can't remember the name of... ) they had highlighted that health complications followed similar curves. The worsts of course being burning stuff due to dumping it in the air, but that most renewables had their lot of injuries too, that their just less publicized.
Here's my full take of nuclear/renewables
My understanding is that most power grid depending on renewables need an alternate energy source for when power demands ramp up: they need some energy sources that they can tune depending of needs, at the drop of a hat.
Hydro does that, you can let more or less water through. (I happen to live aomewhere where most of our energy is Hydro) Things like wind or solar are more complicated.
As an energy appoint source, I think nuclear is a good fit for some use cases.
The thing is, nuclear problems are big and scary events, but they're rare.
Think like plane crash vs other transportation accidents: they make bigger news, but they're actually safer than most other solutions.
Here's the data: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/death-rates-from-energy-production-per-twh
It does seem that your solar example is the one thing that's safer than nuclear sccording to this chart though, so maybe you knew!
It's an anime, and nearly cheating but for me it was Mushoku Tensei Season 1
There was an intro song, but while it was playing there would be B Rolls of whatever part of the setting was pertinent for the episode.
It was awesome, but then they did a normal intro for Season 2, which struck me as a bad decision.
Except probably her: https://youtu.be/tPp-U4QonnM?si=8DJDsvgObkXejitj
( has no link to star trek, but it poped in my head because of the title , and it think it's funny )
One thing I find annoying is that there's no way for me to let the company know that this behavior lost me as their customer forever unless they change their tune.
I'm fairly sure I'm the kind of person they'd market those products towards and it hurs them, but there's no wat that I'm aware of to let them know.
If there was a way, and a significant amount of people would do so, maybe the decision makers would understand it's stupid...
I think you are right about the lack of diversity.
My own take on it is that lemmy is currently populated by early adopters. There might be a relation between beign open to try new things and being left-leaning, I don't know.
But I do think that over time, if Lemmy survives it's early day phase, more people joining should bring more doverse point of views.
As others have mentionned downloading the .deb and running it will also work, but I feel nobody gave your a tldr of why you may want to follow those instructions instead, so here it is:
Those instructions configure your package manager (apt) with a new repository for this application.
The upside to that is that anytime you will look for updates, this app will also get updated.
It's a bit more work up front, but it can pay off when you have dozens of app updating as part of normal system operations.
Imagine a world where windows updates would also update all your software, that's what this is.
I see that being said quite often.
Is there any actual proof of this or is it speculation?
In low density population areas, it seems to me that laying fiber would be cost prohibitive, but I'd like to be proven wrong.
I know what you're saying, but sometimes it is just the vocabulary.
I remember a conversation with an older woman remembering fondly going dancing with her gay friends.
The words she were using would be considered slurs today (even if a bit dated) but they were not meant maliciously.
It's easy to assume bad intentions, but it does happen that it's just someone that's not informed of the current "correct" vocabulary, and that's okay as long as it's addressed.
I believe that the existence of ad blockers do change the situation quite a lot.
I also pay for youtube premium. Before doing so I was using an adblocker and didn't see a single ad before subscribing.
The reason I did so was that multiple creators I was following mentioning that a view from a premium subscriber was worth more to them financially than from a regular one.
It's the easiest way for me to support multiple creators at once.
The moment my experience decreases, Youtube looses my support and I go Patreon instead. As ublock exists I don't have to live through ads at all.
Being rich doesn't mean your life doesn't suck, just that you don't have money problems.
