  • Enshittification actually does work, but only up to a point. Unfortunately, all the corporations have all the subtlety of a Sherman tank, so they always go all in on it.

  • There is nebula.tv which works like that, but it lacks content. I am a subscriber, but I'm running out of interesting content to watch there.

    OBviously there is network effect in play here. If Youtube switched to subs-only model tomorrow, they would have much wider content offer from the get-go.

  • I really don't know, it's just something that I scrolled past on social media, perhaps it was just a joke/troll post. I'm kind of sorry I even brought it up here.

    EDIT: I think I'm remembering this https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/russian-conservative-village/, and the porn actress thing must have been some joke someone on the internet came up with to mock it.

  • Wasn't there an ad a few months back, put out by the Russians, claiming the same thing - a sanctuary for westerners who want to keep traditional values? I remember it because it had some supposedly well-known Russian porn actress in it, acting as a pure smiling maiden or something like that...

  • I'm quite new to OSM mapping myself, but I found following flow working for me - while out, I create a note via Street Complete reminding me to add something (stairs, bench, wastebin), maybe take a photo and attach it to the note for reference, and later, when I get home, I add the thing in openstreetmap.org editor. Last step is to "resolve" the note I created.

    I only tried this once or twice a few days ago, I'm still not sure it's a good idea, maybe it's discouraged to "spam" notes like this, and also I don't know how long the attached photos stay hosted, increasing hosting costs to whoever pays the bills.

  • I mean, we've had a solution to this decades ago - multicast. It would have been perfect exactly for this kind of one-to-many TV-like broadcast.

    Too bad greedy ISPs and ISVs killed anything that isn't HTTP, so smart people had to scramble and find alternate sub-par solutions.

  • Yep, that's a more accurate way of putting it. @Pronell@lemmy.world's phrasing made it sound like some well-organized kanban thing. 🤣

  • It's been in commercial operation ever since it started operating, and the company running it have since started two more solar projects in Spain, so I'd say it is economical.

    Kinda makes sense, Spain, and especially southern Spain, where these are located, is getting a lot of sun all year.

  • How does it compare to the SkyMap app? I've been using that one for years, and am happy with it.

  • A bit of unfortunate wording there. :) I had to go back and reread it slowly in order to understand what you meant.

  • If I understand it correctly, they were confident a while ago already that they could return safely, but they're taking advantage of the situation to do some tests and experiments to learn more about the failure.

    (If you disagree, go yell at Scott Manley, I heard it in one of his recent videos.)

  • Being nervous and tense is normal. I get it all the time before a race, even after having started in many races, often even before shorter just-for-fun races. When the starting signal sounds, the nervousness immediately falls away, and your head will get into it, don't worry. :)

  • I was very disappointed by the choose-one-branch-for-entire-age thing, until I realized that it's just a lesser portion of the available advances that get gated by that choice, not all of the advances in a given age.

    With that realization, I think I like the system. Looking forward to see it in action once the game releases!

  • All through the same network, I'm afraid. I haven't felt the need to separate it like that, although it should be doable using docker networks, or maybe on even lower level, via Linux network namespaces.

  • Alright, so it can do some direct syncs via Garmin API, I didn't know that. Last time I checked, only manually uploading your gpx files was possible.

    Neat, I'll definitely set this up. Dockerized, of course, my little server already has lot of services on it, got to keep things neatly separated. :)

  • Done! 30km, little over 3 hours, and the brain is drowning in serotonin. :)

  • I still hate the activity summary screen. The old design, with some basic numbers in the three circles in the middle beneath the map, looked great, had better information density, and looked unique. The new one looks bland and generic, and has oodles of wasted blank space.

    It saddens me that somebody over at Garmin got actually paid designing that.

  • Going for a long slow run tomorrow morning, after missing such run last weekend, because we had a 35C heat wave here then.

    Zone 2 mostly, some zone 3 because I am too undisciplined. :)
