Webassemby is still limited to a single thread as far as I’m aware, so it’s not a full runtime for the language you are writing in as anything using threads behind the scenes tends to fall over unexpectedly at runtime.

Its also an absolute bastard to debug (young ecosystem)

That requires lots of cropland though. Hydrogen can effectively be made by offshore wind farms etc.

It might work if we reduce standard fuel requirements for cars etc enough.

Electricity has been around that long too though, yet there are no serious electric passenger planes (with a decent range)

It has it’s flaws, but it may have a higher ceiling in terms of usefulness. They say they can make it work, which is more than I hear about electric planes for example.

We should be financially encouraging 0 carbon planes, without controlling how, then let the engineers work what tech to do it with.

What are the other 0 carbon flight options? They are all flawed.

We can engineer our way through flaws with enough effort though.

…then there should be regulatory actions to help make them viable

It depends who you are trying to hide from. A VPN will hide your internet traffic from your ISP/phone company, but obviously not from the site you are visiting.

At best you might be one of may people connecting from the same (VPN) IP address, but they can still collect info from your browser/app etc to generate points to ID you if they want.

If anything, it’s way easier to control what your employees see if they are on a company instance.

…that was entirely my point.

Also, which company uses Reddit as their forum?

lots of small apps, orgs, communities etc just have a subreddit and a discord server. Lots of bigger companies have official or semi-official subreddits.

We’re all a big community. I think people get this quickly.

Someone wanting to get support for their hoover or something may not. they create an account to discuss the pros and cons of certain hoover and see loads of random stuff about American politics and Linux. Their going to get real confused. Most people have heard of reddit now though (and to a lesser extent discord)

In fact defederation is a negative since now you have to worry about new signups, moderation, etc. While in a federated instance, you can leave moderation to other instances and only allow team/company members on your instance.

They are going to moderate their communities, if its unfederated, you don’t have to worry about moderating (or the lack of) on any other instances communities at all.

Users can sign up on other instances and still be able to interact with your instance for support, help and other stuff.

Thats going to be too confusing for a lot of users - they just want to sign up and complain about/discuss things.

It depends if they are saying, we have a community on lemmy (federation fine) or saying, here is our official forum thing (federation bad)

Possibly, is Mbin basically a single instance like kbin was?

If you are a company looking for a forum, you want to be able to control it. Unfederated means you can control account access and don’t have to worry about someone going to All and seeing porn etc.

Federated could work, but you need to make it clear that it’s just a community on a platform.

You could force latest comment sort on the posts, but leave the comments sorting to the user.

The Reddit style voting/threading is superior of forums though.

An unfederated Lemmy instance for example would actually be really good.

You can hear to some level, the boats and actions in the vicinity of the cable. So it might provide evidence in case of a break.

It also lets you know if the cable is moving round on the seabed etc, this is useful as it can cause wear.

I seem to remember it being used to check the health of power cables too (they have fibre cables embedded within them)

Laughed at the alt text, you have to be careful with definitions!

Drop a question in your instances meta community

Technically, the UK has 2 train tunnel size boarders with France. (And a service tunnel?)

Some instances restrict image uploads because of people uploading… Unsavoury images.

You should be able to link to an external image site.

My parents had their current house built - an awesome oak framed building. I got the frame design from the architects and turned it into a 3D printed jigsaw.

Each beam had a bit on the end that plugged into the relevant socket (with a little bku-tacto help in some cases)

I had done no 3d modeling previous to this, and practically none after. Took me months, awesome though!

I tend to spend a weekend cooking and freezing loads, then not really cooking for weeks.

So it’s a massive targeted shop every few weeks to do that, then mostly small trips (often on foot/bike) to the local shops to get milk and any odd things I run out of, or if I feel like mixing dinner up with something else.

Yeh, I see the edits
