I don’t think humans would be naturally self centered if they lived in an environment that actually encouraged sharing and cooperation instead of actively encouraging and rewarding psychopathy and selfishness.

There were likely people who thought it impossible that wolves would someday become domesticated, and eventually be our best buds, due to their ‘unchangeable’ nature.

We are all products of our environment.

One scam calling out another. In addition to odysee, Arweave (Forward Research) bought an NFT company, which is the reddest of red flags.

In addition, the crypto that odysee used to use before being bought out is now completely worthless (but I’m sure the creators of it made bank), and Arweave will be no different.

Huh, must’ve been a mistaken upload. Thanks for letting me know.

You’re now a mod of c/offgrid!

Most of the communities here are pretty laid back when it comes to moderation load. Your activity level should be more than enough. Thanks for volunteering! :)

Unfortunately, the map counts the entire metropolitan area around the city as part of the city, instead of using the city boundaries itself.

Interestingly, CityNerd had the opposite problem when he did a video on city crime statistics.

It does make the broad global overview far less useful, but inspecting each individual city to see what areas are walkable and bikeable is still pretty cool, and could be helpful if deciding on a place to move to.

Apologies for the late response, old bean, but I’ve only just returned from hospital.

I’m afraid it’s my wife, you see; she was diagnosed with false column disease. We grieved in the waiting room, and by the time we made it back home, it’d already begun to take effect. She’s gone now.

I will miss her company, but I must say the structural integrity of my domicile, in particular the patio that she tended to favor, appears to have increased precipitously, at least on a surface level.

Unfortunately Torment is not multiplayer :(

Really like this one, very easy on the eyes while maintaining good contrast in the dark mode. Good stuff man!

It’s a problem that’s comes up surprisingly often for many of us, I’m sure. Just last night, I mistook a false column for a large animal, and only after charging the beast multiple times with my trusty umbrella did I come to realize I’d been duped yet again by big column.

According to @poVoq@slrpnk.net, the issue with inline images not being visible from slrpnk is related to a bug in the image proxy code, though SLRPNK’s image size restriction could also be contributing to it as well.

Apparently the image proxy code bug has already been fixed upstream, so that shouldn’t be a problem for lemmy 19.6.

Few enough people use it i doubt they’ll do that.

I was going to suggest otherwise, but after checking the viewing stats on r/linuxhardware, out of 193k unique views in July, 7,300 were from old.reddit, which accounts for 2.8%, and that kinda blows my mind. Just a couple years ago the numbers were much higher.

The views on that sub have increased a lot over the last year, but engagement is the same or lower, so I heavily suspect a lot of the views there are just bots inflating the numbers.

That makes me think of how people react to Clarisse from Fahrenheit 451. Clarisse’s interest in nature instead of mundane entertainment causes people around her (except the protagonist) to become uncomfortable, and she is forced to go to a therapist because she deviates from the norm.

That’s a good question, and I’m not really able to give a solid answer on that, but I think the measurement you’re looking for is volumetric density. At least according to the wikipedia article for sodium batteries, sodium-ion batteries have roughly half the volumetric density of Lithium-ion (though I’m unsure how old that data is), so a sodium battery would need to be twice the physical size to equal the same amount of usable energy.

If there was a significant cost savings with the sodium ion option, I think that could be a reasonable tradeoff until improvements are made to make sodium-ion’s density more similar to lithium.

Fluxtube looks like a nice alternative for mobile devices, nice find!

Hm, Freetube is working quite well for me, not sure why it would be giving you trouble.

Piped I avoided mentioning since most need an account, which is a hassle.

Youtube directly with Ublock Origin and Sponsorblock work flawlessly for me, personally.

Cheers for the libredirect recommendation, really makes the whole setup slick as heck! :D

I think you’re right that the blade problem is mostly used in the context of right-wingers trying to tarnish and muddy Wind’s image, but I don’t see it as particularly negative for media to be made that highlights the fact that they could eventually become biodegradable. IMO it puts a cap on any right-wing jab by having an easily linkable response that effectively says “Well, that claim will soon be moot anyway.” And it can again be emphasized that in proportion, it’s not a problem to begin with.

But also, bear in mind this is a Solarpunk community, and we’re pretty into reducing as much waste as possible while putting up as much alternative energy as possible, so the fact that even that small amount of waste can be eliminated is something we would appreciate knowing.

Cheers for sharing this, have to agree its superb.

I know 90% of titles that end in a question usually can be answered with a No, but in this case, it’s yes! :D

In comparison to waste from all traditional energy sources, decommissioned blades are indeed an insignificant problem, but hey, improvement is improvement! :)
