Top climate scientist decrules 2C climate goal 'dead'
  • well yeah if you look at it like that, then it might seem so. but they're underestimating exponential growth

    sources for the pictures: the first two are from ourworldindata.org, the last one is a plot i made my self, based on the extrapolation in the third picture.

  • Every day I thank the trees i was born on Earth and not Mar(ule)s or Venus
  • Yeah well honestly the lack of a magnetosphere is the least of your problems. Most radiation on martian surface is blocked anyways by whatever thin atmosphere there is.

    The real problem is the difficulty to get water, the difficulty to grow basically anything, the difficulty to set up functioning greenhouses, the difficulty of ... whatever.

  • Stupid volume rule
  • fuck it, yolo

    trust me, i was bugged by the same thing. it's not worth it even batting an eye over it.

  • US making Deepseek illegal rule
  • i think termux is probably already the best way to go, it ensures linux-like flexibility, i guess. but yeah, properly wiring it up, with a nice Graphical User Interface, would be nice, i guess.

    Edit: now that i think about it, i guess running it on some server that you rent, is maybe better, because then you can access that chat log from everywhere, and also, it doesn't drain your battery so much. But then, you need to rent a server, so, idk.

    Edit again: Actually, somebody should hook up the DeepSeek chatbot to Matrix chat, so you can message it directly through your favorite messaging protocol/app.


    edit again: (one hour later) i tried setting up deepseek 8b model on my rented server, but it doesn't have enough RAM. i tried adding swap space, but it doesn't let me. I figured out that you can't easily add swap space in a container. somehow, there seems to be a reason to that. too tired to explore further. whatever.

  • Just something to b(rule) in mind 🥚
  • Yeah, bread, milk, vegetables.

    Just that historically, people have been able to grow vegetables in their back yards.

  • i guess it could be worse
  • splashes cold water on you

  • woke up eepy
  • you're a big mood <3

  • Rule
  • i read this with a german accent, that makes it 3x better

  • There are places on earth that feel like a whole different planet (rule)
  • That's because it is a whole different planet.

    Wake up, Neo.

  • i guess it could be worse
  • i think you're autistic and probably lesbian and that's pretty cool and based :D

  • cant catch me, i am speed
  • i have seen them once or twice in europe, but not that often.

  • rolle keeping it real rule
  • Yeah, i guess it could work, but it requires care.

    Instances have defederated from for-profit instances before. So i'm not sure how willing people are to put up with it. But libraries are a nice example, i guess, or any public agency giving out public information.

  • Piss rule
  • trickle down economy or sth

  • rolle keeping it real rule
  • There's four possible legal structures that could be behind a messaging service:

    • political domain (state, city, ...)
    • corporate entity (typically for-profit)
    • clubs (typically non-profit)
    • individual humans

    I think it fits the spirit of the Fediverse best to consider the lower two options. A club is a free get-together of humans for some purpose, such as sports club, literature club, you could have a Fediverse club. I highly support this approach, because it is non-profit-oriented, lives off donations, and is rooted by responsible individuals who do something good for the community. Also, individual humans can host smaller instances, but as the instances grow in size, having multiple people behind it to back it up could make things more stable over time.

  • Piss rule
  • free public toilets

    aka bushes

  • Clever bot rule
  • i have 6 data points, i can confirm

  • phase rule

    Last Judgement rule

    I made an image to represent some idea about Last Judgement, that says that it's not some made-up bullshit, but a coming reality.

    "Heaven" is represented by the sky (because it is "up"), and "hell" isn't actually bad, just incredibly lewd.

    I hope I didn't offend anybody through this depiction.

    [discussion] DC (direct current) power network

    As we all know, AC won the "War of the Currents". The reasoning behind this is that AC voltage is easy to convert up/down with just a ring of iron and two coils. And high voltage allows us to transport current over longer distances, with less loss.

    Now, the War of the Currents happened in 1900 (approximately), and our technology has improved a lot since then. We have useful diodes and transistors now, we have microcontrollers and Buck/Boost converters. We can transform DC voltage well today.

    Additionally, photovoltaics produces DC naturally. Whereas the traditional generator has an easier time producing AC, photovoltaic plants would have to transform the power into AC, which, if I understand correctly, has a massive loss.

    And then there's the issue of stabilizing the frequency. When you have one big producer (one big hydro-electric dam or coal power plant), then stabilizing the frequency is trivial, because you only have to talk to yourself. When you have 100000 small producers (assume everyone in a bigger area has photovoltaics on their roof), then suddenly stabilizing the frequency becomes more challenging, because everybody has to work in exactly the same rhythm.

    I wonder, would it make sense to change our power grid from AC to DC today? I know it would obviously be a lot of work, since every consuming device would have to change what power it accepts from the grid. But in the long run, could it be worth it? Also, what about insular networks. Would it make sense there? Thanks for taking the time for reading this, and also, I'm willing to go into the maths, if that's relevant to the discussion.

    Return to early internet era with full of sweet anime (emo) girls and glitter... I chose iconic ones and others that I also like. I tried to diversify the included artists so that it wasn't just Cascada XD I made each Nightcore from scratch to restore their audio quality which has been lost in proc...

    grindset does not rule

    Hey there, I wanted to make a meme to clarify what the "grindset" actually does. It grinds the human to dust.

    With "grindset" I mean the "hard-working" mindset that lots of people in the US seam to have.

    I think it's very unhealthy, exhausts the body, and should be avoided. People should make a living with less than 50 hours of work per week.

    technological advancement

    scene from Ice Age - No Time For Nuts (2006)

    it is a dystopian future where we technologically advance the planet to a state where there's no oak trees anymore. the above picture (supposed to be utopian) always appears dystopian to me, so i made this meme.
