I live in a 1000 square foot two bedroom condo. When it gets below 20° f, which does a lot during the winter, I have to use the auxiliary heat on my heat pump unit.
That’s 7.5 kW.
So just to stay warm during the night, when solar stops working, I would need 3-5 Power Walls?
The main subs or sublemmies or whatever they’re called on here have enough users that it’s a perfect alternative to Reddit.
Little niche subreddits, like my favorite gaybros and askgaybros, just a few dozen users and I’m going back to Reddit for that.
Are they supporting it so that they can gimp it?
We support the right to repair! Starting now all keycaps will be replaceable. Anything on the motherboard is off limits though or the display or the battery or the ports or the camera.
Cruise and Waymo have self-driving cars, without safety drivers, driving around cities right now.
We know what hardware it takes - More than just cameras and some premapping is required.
There’s two problems…
There is no easy to use singular Reddit replacement. (The fediverse is not easy to use to normal people.)
Reddit is such a large social media site now that all the nerds getting angry and leaving doesn’t matter. 10 years ago this change would have killed Reddit, but now that normal people like my mom are on Reddit they don’t give a shit about using the official Reddit app, in fact they were probably already using it.
Now that you’re pretty wealthy has your family decided to become your best buddy now?
I’d be willing to bet that 80% of the people that have a very intense emotional reaction to the small town song live in the suburbs less than 20 to 30 minutes away from whatever city they work in.
Actual small towns like that have less than a couple thousand people suck ass. There’s nothing to do there and no jobs and that’s why people leave.
Why would you not be super excited for this?
This literally extends coverage to the entire world. Movies will have to come up with a another excuse then - oh I have no signal.
When you’re hiking that trail in the middle of nowhere and you slip and break your leg you can just point your phone to the sky and get help.
Google Podcasts syncs to the browser, has playback speed control, and automatic silence skipping.
What’s wrong with using Google Podcasts for podcasts or Spotify or the dozens and dozens of other podcast apps?
Why is Chrome’s performance so much better than Chromium?
Squabbles.io has some traffic
Max Headroom background videos.
Just sort of giving up on life in my late teens and doing nothing.
I just go to work and go home.
I don’t have any friends, don’t have sex, don’t have any hobbies (besides video games), didn’t go to college. I’m very very obese.
If it wasn’t for my family acting as my social life and giving me stuff to do I probably would have killed myself by now. I have some friends online that I play videogames with.
(Yeah I’ve tried therapy and SSRIs/Wellbutrin and gotten my thyroid levels checked and testosterone.)
Mandrake like in 2003.
Facebook doesn’t use e2e.
There is a private chat e2e feature, but then your chats don’t show up on PC.
Why do Linux nerds that care about this sort of stuff hate snaps so much?
Is it the concept of snaps / flatpaks that is the issue or snaps specifically because Canonical is behind them?
I know literally nothing about how they work except I installed the VLC snap and it’s fine.
I couldn’t install Parsec (a remote desktop game streaming app) because of a missing dependency (an old version of lib-something codec that wasn’t in my newer version of Ubuntu). I spent like an hour trying to figure out how to take the 18.04 version and add it to 22.10. I don’t know Linux at all so I wasn’t making much progress. Someone, not the developers of Parsec, made a flatpak and it magically worked.
I was afraid that because the flatpak was made by some random guy I couldn’t really trust it. I looked inside the flatpak and it’s seems to be nothing except for the Parsec deb coming straight from the official Parsec URL and that libcodec thing that was causing a problem.
So from my perspective, not knowing the technical details or politics, what’s the problem?
So do they think that CPAP machines are just suicide devices?
My mom would use the same password for everything or she would mix it up a little tiny bit.
Her passwords were like.
Rainbow2002! rainbow2003 RAINBOW!!!
It was a different word from rainbow, but that’s just an example.
I got her using two factor with Google with a really good password and she’s using the built-in Google password manager. Now all of her passwords are 20+ random strings instead of a single word with different numbers at the end.
I think that’s a much better system than what she was using before.
Are you going to buy me a new heat pump?
Also why doesn’t anyone make a hyper efficient central system? I’ve only seen those hyper efficient units as mini splits.
Are you going to replace my 2016 Sonata I spent $13k on buying in 2018 with a $55k EV with car to grid for me?
What happens if it’s dark and cold for multiple days? I just can’t drive because my car emptied out running my minisplits?
