73·10 hours agoRight‽ This is ridiculously stupid when you can download the entirety of Wikipedia in a single package and parse it to your hearts desire
9·10 hours agoLol I’m just buying it to store for future hacks lmao
Sorry, but that just sounds like a dreadfully boring workplace, workplaces should have some fun and humor. Like a light joke on slack. I do draw the line at productivity killing crap, like filling someones entire office with balloons or something
Yea yea yea, call me when he reveals a Stargate or something lmao
6·3 days agoI think you meant [email protected] instead of [email protected] lol
8·4 days agoIt’s not actually all that expensive to host websites, it never has been, sh.itjust.works a larger instance with something like 1.5k posts and comments/day only spends about $150/month
A bid cost saving is not using the “cloud”, cloud services do what they advertise (mainly allow one to “easily” scale up to millions of users), but its costly.
But the beauty of it is that because Lemmy is decentralized, not one person/org has to worry about scaling to millions of users as the Lemmy-verse grows so hosters can skip the cloud
Some pay out of pocket and some take the ways of the forums of ol, donations and small perks for donating. For example, having a db0 account and being a donator gains you voting rights. There’s been talk about private/VIP comms for donators as well
An accurate prophecy of us millennials in the nursing home lol
The greatest corrupter of humanity, organized religion.
self labelled 'Free word’s looks so good,I think it might be a good idea to tone down a bit on the critiscism of others and focus on what can be done in your place make actual tangible progress
Never said it did, most of the world’s governments are crap. Most of the world’s governments have done really evil shit. From the US to the CCP to Russia to Japan to the UK. Western or eastern, northern or southern, doesn’t matter.
I am doing what I can to make progress, pushing back against toxic propaganda in my nearest communities (online and offline).
Welcome!
Yea, you’ll see mastodon stuff from time to time, there’s nothing really that tells you it’s a mastodon post, they just look kinda different. For a mastodon post usually the giveaway is hashtags in the post like #hashtag except they’ll be links.
Pixelfed is supposed to show up too, but federation with Lemmy has yet to “kick in” (at least as far as I’ve noticed)
Also on Lemmy you can do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ without any extra "" actually, here putting the extra 2 backslashes makes you lose your arm
It’s actually really nice, now I can ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ right from my phone keyboard lmfao ¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We’ve been able to make that for a few years now (I’m still here, so I must have missed the Klingon Bird of Prey train off themis damn planet) but it was expensive
But just last month they figured out how to do it more cheaply so it might be coming… someday
https://phys.org/news/2025-02-transparent-aluminum-tiny-acid-droplets.html
Current methods of making TAlOx are expensive and complicated, requiring high-powered lasers, vacuum chambers, or large vats of dangerous acids. That may change thanks to research co-authored by Filipino scientists from the Ateneo de Manila University.
Instead of immersing entire sheets of metal into acidic solutions, the researchers applied microdroplets of acidic solution onto small aluminum surfaces and applied an electric current. Just two volts of electricity—barely more than what’s found in a single AA household flashlight battery—was all that was needed to transform the metal into glass-like TAlOx.
9·5 days agofor synthetic and push it out to 5k+ miles.
Haha yeah
Hides my car always pushing 10k miles
Actually @[email protected] if you want a quick and dirty option, I just used a windows tablet I had on hand and strapped it to the crib along with a USB webcam along with OBS studio with the RTSP server plugin
If you want night vision, make sure to pickup a webcam with IR
After that you can just open the stream with VLC, and VLC is available on all major platforms
Video is very intensive in both storage and bandwidth, we all basically took youtube for granted in that respect. It took Reddit a long time to support video natively, (actually, it also took Reddit a long time to support images natively lmfao) just a couple years ago iirc.
But video here is supported with the old Reddit way, uploading to imgur and posting the direct image url
Like here: https://lemmy.world/post/27402635
Ok I can support the first 2
But “/s” is absolutely necessary and has predated Reddit by a LONG time. It should be mandatory actually because sarcasm is notoriously hard in text
I’m confused, that seems to imply there’s other ways to watch Star Trek?
It would be so amazing if we could get Lemmy running on something like [email protected] it really would be just like the ol dialup days
It’d be slow, but I’d still use Lemmy over it all the time even though I have a fancy pants 2.5 Gig fiber link lmaooo
27·5 days agoYea, if you update your game with new stuff that causes performance issues on older things, then just put up a warning about it and call it good
Sometimes these companies do way too much
Nerds and terrible at naming things, name a more iconic duo LMAO
If its not that, it sounds like something straight outta star trek. Sometimes I’ll be reading some technical things from Intel or Cisco or something and it’ll be like “With our new Hyper-Ribbon-Flex-Optical-InterConnect”
Btw Tachyons are an official science thing now
