So … does something like this work? Or is the foundation a little bit weakened in a few spots, which totally doesn’t matter in the lifespan of a datacenter?

You are so right - early social media was kind of magical. Your friends posted when they went to a cool new restaurant or did cook something awesome. I discovered so many new restaurants and food styles because of that. Your friends are all going to that new syrian restaurant near the lake and like it? Let’s try it ourselves! They are also your friends, so you can talk about that. They are posting pictures of some cool thing they cooked? You can ask for the receipe! You might even be invited for dinner the next time they are cooking that!

And then Facebook killed it. They started to hide the posts of your friends. They showed you some shit from some “page” or shoveled rage-baiting news in your face. They pushed Farmville everywhere. But that short little moment in time? That was awesome

You describe it as a nightmare, but on the other hand: People are operating multi-ton vehicles at high speeds in urban areas and are causing thousands of casualities doing that every year. A person operating a car should focus on the road and driving. If he/she is speeding, checking the phone, eating, smoking or fighting with their co-driver or kids, that’s not safe and needs to be stopped.

I totally like the trolling - but on the other hand it totally would be nice if this map was not manipulated so that we could watch the russian fuel crisis in real time and see their empire crumble

You can’t trust any reporting coming out of Russia. They lie. They downplay losses. You see those videos of burning refineries and Russia will claim that some minor fire broke out.

Just think about it: There have been 28 vessels hit in this night alone. The other nights before that were devastating for Russia, too. Ukraine claims 76 hits in 6 days and is showing the video evidence for that. So whatever that number is, there is a lot of destruction in the Sea of Azov going on right now. Ukrainian drones are flying around, which makes Search & Rescue operations hard. Normal maritime SAR operations rely on civilial vessels going to the rescue area and for them to pick up people from life boats and on helicopters and planes to search for survivors. There also might be some specialized vessels built for putting out fires. There is no way that normal SAR is able to deal with 76 vessels in 6 days or 28 vessels which are on fire. Even when there are no drones around trying to kill you. So basically nobody knows how many people died, because there is nobody coming to help those ships. They might be giving some kind of status update via radio, but as you know: Russia is not telling the truth.

And when you lose weight, you breathe it out.

You are so wrong, I really do not know how to respond to that. Yes, not every song is on Spotify, but you are able to listen to millions of songs there. That is more than your local record shop was able to stock

But is this really a bot? This is a real person trying to help Lemmy by using a tool to post stuff. That’s kinda different than those spammy repost bot that we can see on Reddit, which are farming karma in order to start shilling for some scammy product later on or to do political desinfo shit.

There might be a discussion if it’s really helpful to mirror stuff from Reddit to Lemmy, but I feel that this is the discussion every community needs to have on its own. In my humble opinion, it is totally okay to try to kickstart a community by implementing some kind of automated system to post content. Nobody will post to an empty forum and if a forum shows some activity even by reposting stuff from Reddit or a bot parsing some RSS feeds, that’s kind of okay. It gives people something to discuss about the topic the forum is about.

There are people working on federated wiki’s and they have some interesting ideas. It’s not the Feddy words, but people might be interested.

Trying to remember how the world was before computers and the internet. It was really hard to look up information yet that you didn’t have in your own home. You had to hop on the bus and go to the library searching through several books. That’s one Google search today. You hadn’t had the access to music, films, and so on. You can listen to nearly every modern song on Spotify versus those few CDs you had on your home or the songs that were playing on the radio. If you want to watch a movie you can do that. You do not have to wait until it’s showing on TV with at breaks or go to some kind of rental store. You want to go somewhere, just fire up Google Maps, versus buy and paper map, figure out where you are, and still get lost. Global communication is free. Just remember how expensive long distant calls were and how you lost contact to people who moved away.

The internet and computers really have made everything easier.

When bending spoon buys something you are using, you should run for the exit, take your data, and search for alternatives.

Which is also quite interesting that you haven’t heard of that country. The american military has been bombing it in the 90s.

So we know that he is actively harming young people on Instagram. We know that he was showing ads for CASM content in India and is profitering from that. He know wants to hook young people on gambling. Maybe he should get a restraining order preventing him from interacting with children at all.

We are getting there - with 4,33 weeks a month that’s $866 a month in AI costs. You may get a programmer for that in some offshore countries

You really should not derail this discussion here.

It’s really strange that the mods in the article are talking about the risks for their users by spammers while operating a subreddit that is totally encouraging people to inject them with really strange, untested stuff

The used market is not there right know. Those EVs last longer and have had a lot of progress in the last years. That means that you do not have that many cheap used offerings as you have with petrol cars.

Batteries, being consumable devices. How much is the EV’s battery to replace (including labour) and how long does the OEM part last?

People really need to think of petrol motors as consumption parts. Your engine will need a lot of mainenance and it also has a lifespan. That lifespan is shorter than that of a battery

That whole northern viking folklore is actually kind of insane if you know that the whole game of the vikings was to sail to other countries, loot & pillage and to murder, rape & enslave people.

Not every game has cheat codes?

Another great alternative is Geoactivity Playground if you use Strava to get overall statistics for your rides. You can import a Strava export or simply put some GPX files in a folder. It’s great:
