  How are you supposed to tell European countries apart when 99% of them look like amorphous blobs?

  You aren’t?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the difference between lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have accounts on both. Sh.itjust.works has a piracy community that .world blocks and is still federated with Hexbear for some reason. .world has old.lemmy.world if you liked the old reddit UI.

  Otherwise, not that different.

  Maybe after 9 trillion fucking dollars they’ll realize that it’s a scam and you can’t achieve AGI let alone super intelligence by throwing infinite data at an LLM.

  A buddy of mine has a PHD in Cajun Fusion. Turns out, harnessing the power of the sun is only slightly more complex than a good gumbo. Who knew?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me with a spoon under the faucet⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty easy. Get a big flat slab of solid matter (probably wood, plastic, or metal) and put a handle in the middle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to keep carpet clean?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah you’ll be fine. It’s not about shoes, its about not tracking in dirt and mud and other crap from outside.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Always look on the bright side of life⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That is correct. Not sure if you were trying to dispute my comment but to clarify, the remark I was making is that slavery =/= imprisonment on its own. Slavery = imprisonment + work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Always look on the bright side of life⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Only if they force you to work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The momentum of the solar energy transition⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I like nuclear a lot too, but it does have its drawbacks:

  1. Expensive. Plants are expensive to build and maintain. They also take like 5-10 years to build from scratch.

  2. Water intensive. In the coming century water is going to a really hot commodity as water reserves dwindle. Having a power source that relies on lots of water might not be a good idea.

  3. Fuel sources. Not about what’s fueling it but where is coming from. Uranium is only found in certain deposits and if your country either doesn’t have a source in house then they need to have political clout and money to obtain it. Everyone likes to point to France as a nuclear powered country but where did they get their uranium? Niger. The same Niger that just had an anti-french coup, cutting off their supply.

  Maybe future tech like SMRs will make it more viable but for now the solar/geothermal/wind route will be a much quicker and easier replacement for fossil fuels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some great open source games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes*

  It’s got all the cards with art, a good deck builder, and it supports multiple game modes, including Commander. It’s also got bot players that are good to test decks against and it forces game rules, so it’s good for learning.

  *I’ve never gotten the multiplayer to work. My friends use Cockatrice for that. (Also FOSS) Cockatrice is clunkier and much more manual to use but, the multiplayer works.

  I’ll never understand the eternal hype around “flying cars”. Fuckers out here can hardly drive on a 2d road. Now you want to introduce a third axis on them?

  I guarantee that if the general public gets their hands on a real “flying car”, it’ll take about 2 weeks before some drunk idiot commits a mini 9/11.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need help for my growing tent. Positive or negative pressure? How can I reduce water consumption/ water loss of my fogger? Do you recommend automatization with an Arduino?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  One thing you could do about the water consumption is to have a dehumidifier outside the tent. That way you are recycling moisture that comes out of the tent fan. If you want to be resourceful you might be able thook up the dehumidifier chamber flow into fogger.

  Just a thought.

  Arduino automation would work. Just make sure you’re changing the air in the tent about 5-8x per hour minimum.
