But tbf, Prusa carries on the spirit

Plus if electric cars become the norm, the streets will be quiet for the first time since the industrial revolution

The sound of hooves on cobblestone is incredibly loud and annoying!

What really baffles me is modern computers. The whole assortment from mainframe batteries, desktop PCs, laptops to smartphones, watches, wireless earbuds, microcontrollers, miniaturised sensors, etc. Even the cheapest modern microcontrollers have insanely complex and tiny patterning that really speaks volumes for the amount of process control and precision in semiconductor fabs. Truly, I would call the modern IC a miracle if I wouldn’t know better. It is physics, materials science and chemistry at their best.

So all bets are off? If violence is inevitable and the alternative is a de facto dictatorship, maybe the liberal Americans should strike first while they still can, e.g., assassinating orange man and other conservative leaders.

An 8 GB memory VPS should be sufficient to run quantised LLMs, and the client could simply parse the Lemmy posts, send them to the server and get the translated results back. Shouldn’t be expensive imho.

You cannot tell me that this is not the Onion! I would lose my faith in humanity for the billionth time…

Thank you for your contribution, that supports my suspicions. But do you know what incentive a merchant could have to not accept it? I find it weird that they would not accept SEPA direct debit when handled through PayPal, but they do accept it when there’s no intermediary.

Some words have simply entered common use and become decoupled from their former meaning. Maybe your acquaintance was right.

Yes, it redirected to paypal.com and the vendor is supposed to be very trustworthy. PayPal 2FA was genuine. 🤷‍♂️

Today is Thursday.

I’d call that a win

No, that is not the reason. Many people prefer multiple pages for reading long-form online articles. Also quite common on major newspapers.

Okay, but Ephera’s comment was about the (non-)vegan ingredients.

That would be vegan though

Principally it is possible if you can iterate over all the posts and comments and inject them into the database of their new home.

I agree completely. Blocked the instance only now despite them becoming more and more annoying each month.

A lab, manufacturing capabilities for any kind of object and material, and possibly several companions. Plus a mineral-rich planet (best case would be inexhaustible) as well as a star. And a ship, preferably FTL, to change location after the star nears the end of its life. Of course also copies of the entire cultural database of humanity (books, songs, movies). Pets. A thriving ecosystem on the home planet.

They look like grumpy old men

Isn’t Lemmy pretty much that?

This is called Geoengineering, and we don’t need volcanoes for that. Current approaches mostly consider injecting sulfates or other reflective aerosols directly into the atmosphere to influence how much solar radiation reaches the Earth. The principle is the same as behind volcanoes. This method is in fact already being employed and has been used in the past, albeit only for regional climate engineering.

Why don’t we do this to stop climate change? As you yourself kinda noticed, the consequences could be very unpredictable and dangerous because the effects are difficult to model. However, maybe after everything else has failed Geoengineering could be a viable option.
