The world had subtlety agreed on a different standard (mico usb) when apple decided to do decide to switch to a proprietary one (lightning)

Granted, micro Usb is shit, but switching to a proprietary standard is worse as you force everyone to have something different.

Were lightning not proprietary, I could definitely see it overcomming micro usb everywhere

Nah, it’s 10/10 , you don’t count from 0 to 99, you do from 0 to 10, so that still 100% in binary

GPU passthrough is not easy, thankfully there are guides online, but I did have to do a bit more digging after an issue I had.

You do need 2 GPUs, on a laptop it’s not an issue as most of them use an intel or amd gpu to render the desktop and only use dedicated graphics for intensive tasks, but on a desktops, you don’t have that option and you’ll need to turn off the graphical portion of linux, making it accessible only through something like ssh

Windows tends to overwrite the bootloader

In 20 years: +2°C is unavoidable, +3°C would require the whole world to reduce the emissions by as much as the covid crisis did… Each year.

Even if the best political minds come to term with that and take actions, I don’t see us stopping. I don’t see us capping at 3, nor at 4. Nor at 6.

I would say that he is still incompetent after that, public image is important in the long term, and he completely ruined that.

He would have made far more by preserving it.

Woman names in my electro swing playlist…

I just love the vintage vibes they have

Swamp cooler, they do work, but raise the humidity, which might cause increased mold growth

Yeah, sad thing is we are already signed up for the next 20 years, as in even if we stopped emitting everything tomorrow, we would still have +2°C in 20 years…

And how realistic is stopping everything tomorow?

+3°C… we would need to have a new coronavirus crisis every years, not just a new one, but stack them on top, in terms of emissions. Ofc you can’t have more then one global confinement at a time (doesn’t make sense to double confine someone) so that wouldn’t even work.

We. Are. Fucked.

Same thing as people arguing about their golf clubs, pointless yes, but distracting…

Most people in the distro wars know it’s pointless and that a tool is a tool, but measuring dicks is as old as humanity and when flipping your dong out wasn’t deemed appropriate anymore, people started arguing about distros

Regardless of if it’s on the visual spectrum or not, it’s all called light as long as it’s electromagnetic radiations

Radio waves are light, gamma rays are light, gravitational waves are not, sound waves are not

Piracy against big corporations? Sure, but indie devs? That’s gonna hurt them far more and they usually haven’t done anything to uustify it

Aah too bad, 01:00 UTC would be 03:00 for me, and I plan on sleeping tonight

I usually put on some PBS Space Time, not quite podcast, but I often don’t look at the visuals when trying to sleep. The videos are short (about 15min) , but provided it’s between 23:30 and 00:30, it usually takes only about 5 minutes before I fall asleep.

Used to do audiobooks, but that would fail if I was too invested in the book…

No, I wanted to explain why I don’t believe in their existance, but I couldn’t write something without comming off as an asshole, so sorry.

Yeah, the direction commercial AI took is truely disheartening… Like, AI is a useful tool, but it’s been buisnesized where everyone puts AI is places where it shouldn’t be. Mostly because people don’t understand what they are doing so surely an AI model will…

The other day a dude wanted to dev an app with me about some random shit with an AI, except it could all be done with standard algorithms, and would probably perform much better too.

I looked at him and almost facepalmed on the spot…

Yes, but the important part is understanding the flaws of what you are standing up for.

Long story short, they don’t have the mod capacity to micromanage evry single comment, since unless you defederate, you have to moderate every comment and post that gets seen by your instance, so the whole fediverse basically, and they just can’t do that.

Some instances have attracted some toxic behaviors and federating with them added an influx of comments that weren’t in line with their rules.

They decided to defederate all the big instances that didn’t filter sing ups.

It’s a blanket solution, and honestly, I don’t blame them for it, lemmy moderation is a bit hell.

Their rules are a bit strict, but I approve of what they are trying to do, creating a “safe” space… The rest of the fediverse is a bit of a far-west with anything goes being the rule…

I personally love the screen ratio

2 yo article about chicken lab-meat in Singapore https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/dec/02/no-kill-lab-grown-meat-to-go-on-sale-for-first-time

They mention that their production line uses fetal bovine serum (at the time) but that their next one wouldn’t, but it just wasn’t complete for the launch.

Apparently they would use a plant based alternative, but I haven’t been able to find an article (not behind a paywall) on that.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a solved problem, imo they wouldn’t be able to use fetal bovine serum in large quantities anyway due to it’s price.
