As I look at this thing from the inside of the fedibubble, it looks like it’s going to be the best thing ever.

Thanks for taking the time to write this.

Posts like this prove to me that Lemmy is ready to replace Reddit. Probably not completely true for everyone, and every topic, but we’re getting there.

🤣🤣🤣

This is the way.

Proportional representation is pretty close. You still vote a specific politician, but the vote benefits everyone in that party. Basically this means that you really need to read what the party is trying to accomplish and pick the one you like the most. Then you’ll pick your favorite candidate in that party, and cast your vote.

Having looked at this table, it would seem that western countries are at the top of the list when sorted by deaths per million.

However, I don’t think the poor countries even had the resources to collect realistic statistics nor the will to report them honestly. I would only use this table for comparing similar pairs of countries against each other. Comparing wealthy contents with poor ones doesn’t appear to make much sense.

My guess is that poor countries handled it badly, and these statistics don’t even begin to tell how bad it was. Then again, what can you expect when you don’t have many hospitals, nor the money for vaccinating everyone.

Which is exactly what I’m going for. The longer you look, the more it hurts your eyes.

LPT: Design your own generic company logo, and have it printed on a t-shirt.

That was just the sort version. There are even more convoluted ways some consider to be unnatural.

Can confirm. I have a few accounts for keeping different interests separate in YT. I also keep those accounts in different container tabs, but recommendations tend to leak anyway. Google knows what I’m up to.

Here’s the correct way:

1. Take a photo of your screen with a camera.
2. Have the film developed or print that photo if you have a digital camera.
3. Make necessary highlights with a pen.
4. Scan the paper.
5. Upload the file here.

You know that super flaky dough used in some salty or sweet pastries? Today someone brought a bag of those at work, and the break room was totally nuked as a result. No matter how careful you are, those flakes are going to get everywhere. [insert relevant prequel meme here]

Here’s a fun little experiment you can try. Make a list of random topics and have a discussion about each of them on separate days. Make sure each topic is something that could result in creepy suggestions or ads on YT. If even one of these topics produces the expected result, you could be on to something.

Nah, who needs any reviews when you can trust autocorrect to handle every situation perfectly every time. Never had any issues with it and never will.

Good job. This post shows that it’s s complicated topic, so squeezing it into a binary answer just isn’t going to work.

However, when it comers specific details, such as your data being sucked up to the servers of a creepy company, you can definitely provide clear answers. In situations like this, I tend to make a spreadsheet that lists all the useful details and rates each browser accordingly. Then, you give your subjective weight to each detail, and calculate a weighted average of each brewer. This final score is highly subjective and debatable, but at least you have some sort of answer that helps you decide what’s best for you.

Yes and no. Depending on what kind of differences you care about. Want to clarify a bit?

In both, you have communities and voting sorts the posts. However, the number of communities and voters is much lower in Lemmy. Reddit has ads, so I guess that counts as a pretty clear difference too.

Imagine what it’s like for a microbial spore. It’s like landing on an alien planet ripe for exploration and exploitation.

It’s probably going to be a rare collectible in about 50 years. Right now, it’s a high risk investment.

Playing devil’s accountant here. A possibly legitimate reason ISPs put in data caps is shareholder dividends and capital appreciation.

1. Charge more
2. Provide less service
3. Profit

The first time I saw a mobile plan without any limits was somewhere around 2003-2004. Pretty soon after that, all the competitors started offering similar plans. So glad we got rid of those stupid limits.

You would also need to find a suitable location. If the reservoir is really far away, you’ll be losing too much energy. Think of transmission losses, but for water in a pipe. The reservoir would need to be pretty high as well, so a flat desert won’t work for an application like this.

Ideally, you would have a solar farm in the desert and use the excess energy to pump salt water to the top of a small mountain that sits right next to the ocean. With this setup, you would have a stable source of energy, which you could send to the grid. When the reservoir is full and energy demand is low, you could dump the remaining energy into desalination.

You could also use some of that energy to produce hydrogen and oxygen from water. During peak demand hours you could used a fuel cell to make electricity from the hydrogen.

You’ll also get oxygen as a byproduct, which could be used for a bunch of different chemical processes to get some additional revenue. This is basically a blueprint for a large industrial facility.
