Sounds so wholesome :)

Seriously though.

Bought an old second-hand Brother printer a while ago and couldn’t be happier.

Model is like 10 years old, yet all spare parts and cartridges as well as just toner are readily available and the printer is perfectly fine (damn how precise laser printers are!).

They just make it happen.

Nebula is cool and all, but at the end of the day, it’s still a commercial platform, and those do tend to enshittify and depend a lot on externalities.

As creators grow more dependent on Nebula, Sam and the team of original Nebula creators can wield more power and change the rules.

They already dictate the kind of content that is allowed - for example, Second Thought, one of the original creators behind Nebula, was asked to leave as he doesn’t agree to change public stance on Israeli-Palestinian conflict (he is pro-Palestine). This has suddenly left him without a source of revenue necessary for the production to expand, and has put him into debt.

Solution? Probably independent sponsorships that would go both on YouTube and PeerTube videos. Or a creator reward system like in Lbry/Odysee. Something that would allow to reward creators without going full commercial.

Linus did have emotion control issues and was not always completely rational, but he’s gone a long way towards being incredibly responsible to his child that powers the world.

Also, he long understands that Linux ain’t a hobby project, which some programmers still get to think.

Oh, and now you make a great deal of change by putting slurs all over.

Wanna change someone’s mind? Go civil. Wanna vent your anger? Don’t vent it on other people.

I 100% want all copyright to be eliminated, but what you do is counterproductive and rude at best.

Just give the link if you have one

Completely useless rageposting on your side.

Also, the original commenter corrected it later to clarify.

True! Hopefully, their tools are able to suggest ways to safely produce those meds, too.

Also, I strongly hope they’ll build something able to accurately verify that processes went through as intended, with the desired product present and no known and harmful or unknown compounds formed. Chemistry is full of surprises, especially organic one…

I was first on the fence, but yeah, at the very least, it’s a clear signal to big pharma, and I welcome that move. Also, if this will actually get safe, reliable, and controlled enough, I’d love to have some basic spare parts and make my meds at home. But that would probably require something more complex than Microlab.

Don’t trust your life with this unless you have to. Curious project nonetheless!

Perhaps unsurprisingly. Any sort of “assistance” with answers will do that.

Students have to learn why things work the way they do, and they won’t be able to grasp it without going ahead and doing every piece manually.

Build anarcho-communism, thereby removing any incentives to enshittify.

Using Windows is a true flex on Lemmy

😂

“Asia&Japan Watch” is right under their name.

This topic is not centered in the US by any metric. It’s just an example of a Lemmy bias.

Original article is about Asia, and Lemmy is an international platform, so neither applies here

I don’t mind some actually regional things presented in whatever system they use in there - although I’d much prefer if we’d all go metric already. C’mon!

Russian-languaged media is not commonly consumed by someone living under imperial/Fahrenheit system, so it’s only natural.

For English, it might make sense to at least always add Celsius in parentheses, unless it’s highly regional news.

Also, привет российским леммиводам :D

Fair, my bad! Sorry if it was offensive.

I just got a little sick of all the Fahrenheit (and also Imperial) domination around here. This, in turn, is often left without clarification, despite the system being way less popular.

Lemmy as a platform is extremely America-centric, despite having tons of folks from everywhere else, which is aggravating in the long run. World really, really doesn’t all revolve around land of the free.

I agree clarification never hurts, but the entire world except for ~4% of highly entitled population will read that right.

Answering questions in the article:

But is it actually possible? Yes. It’s not complicated by modern space industry standards.

Is it smart to do? Absolutely not, it is insanely wasteful and unpractical. Electric light exists, just sayin’. Also, you either need to switch between satellites in a swarm, which will suddenly change the angles of light, or you have to put satellites onto geostationary orbit, which is even more wasteful.

And would it really look exactly as portrayed in the video? No. It is known they did not use satellites for it, most likely it was a drone. Light will come from a much greater distance and will also dissipate more - harassing your surroundings, that is.

Lemmy was at some point this pre-September place. Since then, it changed quite a bit.

I think we’ll always have to face either Eternal September or walls and restrictions everywhere, making it hard to join and discouraging many genuinely good folks.

Our best best is to influence the Internet culture at large, since there’s no grand influx of people on the Internet overall anymore. Of course, we go against algorithmic rage machines, but this is a fight worth having. And which place if not Fediverse is a good place to start.
