It also stores a lot of heat in the walls of the tent, which will keep the air inside from cooling down too much over the course of the night.
- Comment on Sony will cut around 250 jobs from the recordable media business manufacturing hub and will gradually cease production of optical discs, including Blu-ray discs. 23 hours ago:
How do SSDs and HDDs compare to optical disks in terms of stability in storage? SSD bits can lose charge over time until a lot of 1s read as 0s, right?

- Comment on They use to tell us we couldnt trust Wikipedia. Now we know. Wikipedia is the only website you can trust. 8 months ago:
Just call then out on it in talk by mentioning why you would add it.
Alternatively make an upgraded English-only wiki alternative with way larger article max sizes so we can finally evolve it past 2005. And start using YouTube links and not (just) a native video player. And start quoting/including entire chapters from relevant books.

It’s so weird that you keep it up. You’ve been committed to this for like half a year basically every day now?

- Comment on Spotify re-invented the radio 8 months ago:
GEMA aeems to be doing a lot of shit I don’t think should be done, like charging for live performances of GEMA-owned music. I also don’t see why there should be an organization with memberships? That’s not at all related.
I’m also not pitching an organization at all, I wouldn’t expect an additional one to be necessary. It’s just conceived as a legal framework change,
When I’m talking about starting companies, I’m talking about several, not competing through the size of they’re libraries, but rather through other things like cost, quality, UI, searchability, recommendations, etc.

I am not talking about a concept for a company, I’m talking about revised ethics to inform revised laws which would enable what you seem to describe Grooveshark as.
I think the DMCA experiment has gone on long enough and it’s time to try to mitigate the negative results of it through a different approach.

I just wanna pitch something:
What if it was impossible to publish something through a preferred publisher? What if any published piece of music was legal to redistribute with a published fixed global royalty?
As in: You can start a music distribution service and you don’t need to make any deals, you just use what’s out there and pay the fixed fee.
This could perhaps be enforced by there simply being no more legal grounds to stop your service as long as you pay, with fines for secret deals being extremely high and the award for whistleblowing also being very high.
In general I feel like movies, shows and video games could be treated the same. Ending exclusivity has been something I’ve kinda wished to see forever. I think if you reconsider the ethics many of you might conclude that you agree with me.
- Comment on Pawoo, a Japanese Mastadon instance on the Fediverse notoriously bad about moderating CSAM, has been taken down. 8 months ago:
I swear, Lemmy users act like they are completely in favor of an instance of 40 users and a submission every other week. Seeing scale as inherently bad.
Lemmy will fucking roll over and die within the year.
- Comment on YouTube cracking on ad blockers. 8 months ago:
Honestly, I’d tolerate an adless grey timer, you don’t even have to trick it that fine has passed.
Just open in another tab, wait for skip option, skip (but probably not in a perfectly timed robotic way), then pause. Grey and silent midroll would be annoying but still tolerable.
People who know programming and how far it can go seem to sometimes trap themselves in very difficult problems that would be great to solve, but undervalue a version without that complicated luxury.
I’m all for trying to solve it, but a tool that doesn’t is still good. I just don’t want to be aware of what the companies want to make me aware of.
- Comment on I'm not kidding when I say for the FIRST time I actually can grasp the size 8 months ago:
How many people can stand in one container?
1 TEU ≈ 13.6m², so 27 @ ~0.5m² per person to not be too dense?
The Ever Given has a 20,124 TEU capacity, so that’s 543,348 people. With fewer people you get more space, including space for food stocks, sleeping quarters, kitchen area, etc.

Let’s slow hungry m humanity to go extinct and prevent this shitshow from establishing a permanent presence among the stars.
Imagine the amount of abuse and suffering and stress we can prevent by just not saving humanity? By not letting our numbers climb to the trillions?

If you’ll slow me to mansplain, I think it’s about bone porosity, it’s a trade-off. You can absorb more information without impedance, but you have to deal with being very shiny and reliant on protective gear. Consumption of bone hurting juice is highly conducive to elevated intelligence, but has side effects. It is the mental steroid.

Oh you think that’s a take? That’s nothing.
Italian cuisine is distuinguished by one main thing, oily veggies on carbs. Yeah you got cured meat but so do everyone else. You’re the oily veggie boot.

Could you also do ac/dc conversion ti make the electricity useful elsewhere? I’m guessing charging and transporting primitive batteries won’t be able to fulfill any useful purpose at all.

Only thing I know about RCS is that it has caused a few of my texts to never be sent. Other than that it has done nothing for me.

I seem to recall quadrant occasionally used for referring to things that are just roughly a quarter of whatever they’re a part of.

It’s a religious conflict.
They have no chill.
Currently the Jewish god is apparently stronger, but the Muslims will think theirs probably had a legitimate reason for letting Gaza get blasted to pieces. Either way it’s a whole lot of nonsense and murder.
