Plastic isnt the only material that you can recycle…
- Comment on I'm doing my part! 22 hours ago:
Nah, at least not most of them. Electronics recycling however is one where i wouldnt be surprised if it gets offloaded to elsewhere.
- Comment on I'm doing my part! 1 day ago:
The thing is just that its not that one woman, but hundreds of millions if not billions of people that follow trash separation rules.
This would actually have a pretty large effect, however sadly the recycling system is broken and often just a complete lie in many places in the world. - Comment on Japan sets new internet speed world record — 4 million times faster than average US speeds 1 day ago:
Its just got nothing to do with “internet”. That is the issue with the headline. Its just some random piece of fiber that isnt even connected to any wider network. Im assuming they just used big ass rolled up rolls of fiber connected to one another to get to the 1800km. There are no end user “internet” applications for it either. The only thing it could be used for is isolated connections between internet hubs or inside datacenters for local network.
Still impressive ofcourse but just doesnt have anything to do with “internet” in the end user sense.

- Comment on Why are so many Afghans suddenly being deported back to Afghanistan? Why is it from so many different countries? 3 days ago:
One big factor in pushbacks like this is the classification of the country in terms of refugee status. People coming from another country only pass as “refugees” if certain conditions are fulfilled in that country, like war, famine, human rights violations, femicide, etc. This was the cases for Afghanistan for a long time (and still is arguably) but Germany and other governments decided that the conditions arent so bad anymore and that people can be pushed back without having to fear for their lives. As soon as one government does it, others will follow so that could have created a seemingly sudden increase in deportations. Dont take my word for it tho, im not 100% sure what the current classification is and when it changed. Just trying to give you an idea of how this generally works.

For SMS KDE connect + VPN into your home network should work. Remote calls is a tough one tho.
- Comment on Do movie actors or actress keep the skills they learned? Like no one would screw with Keanu after seeing all the John Wick films? And if they did would they just be fucked from the start? 3 days ago:
Keanu Reeves seems to have some level of real gun skill. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xii9_oWQ7HY
But if you shoot him he will die, because in reality you usually die the second someone tries to shoot you. There is no such thing as avoiding gunfire. If the barrel is pointed at you, you are probably dead.
- Comment on Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse 4 days ago:
Long term you should look out for Waydroid compatible devices. Basically linux devices (smartphones, tablets, pcs) that run android containers very close to hardware so you can run your important android apps while not having to rely on the mess that android is for everything. There is a GApps version too if you need google shitware for some reason. Ubuntu Touch (smartphone os) is one of the most prominent to implement it. Personally i hope to eventually just get rid of my phone and only have a laptop with a sim-card and waydroid.

- Comment on ICEBlock - See Something, Tap Something 5 days ago:
Stop recommending this shit ffs. Its super suspicous, closed source and intransparent in its operation. If the feds raid this guys house and push a malicous version, all the users are fucked. This is not a good app to recommend.

Reminds me of the thing in Spain where they just immediately suspect anyone of drug trafficking for using pixel devices because thats what grapheneos runs on.
- Comment on Clevatess • Clevatess: Majuu no Ou to Akago to Kabane no Yuusha - Episode 3 discussion 5 days ago:
I cant answer your question, but i agree that the casual rape often shown in anime is a big issue. I get that its realistic, but man do the authors and studios do a shit job at integrating it into their stories.
A really bad case of this was Tengoku Daimakyo / Heavenly Delusion where the main character got raped by one of their most trusted friends and while there was some degree of revenge they didnt even kill the fucker. The worst thing tho was that there was zero mention, discussion or anything of it afterwards. It was just just treated as if somebody slapped them and then everything moved on. And 5 minutes later their traveling companion decided to confess his love for them… So weird.
- Comment on Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed 5 days ago:
PayPal is a US company. Everyone should expect them to eventually put bans political content that doesnt align with the Trump admins policies. When that time comes, Valve and Steam is either going to become a worthless racist, queerphobic, science denying, shithole or it will hold the line. Lets hope its going to be the latter.
- Comment on Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition' 6 days ago:
I think they will simply get burned as they are not designed for radiation levels 2x or even 10x of normal sunlight. Normal pv panels lose efficiency very fast when they get too hot so even if they survive it, they might just output less.

I clicked on a few but admittedly gave up too quickly. The paper had the same picture but fairly low resolution. This article had a better one: pv-magazine.com/…/fraunhofer-ise-unveils-micro-cp…

These types of articles are always cool sounding but they never have any actual images of the design in question. Sad science noises.

Its nuts to me that we figured out their strategy like 10 years ago and people just chose to ignore that information and kept using all these platforms anyway.
- Comment on The sole purpose of language models is to lower the market value of human skills. 1 week ago:
Probably the biggest victim of the LLM hype is academia. I dont have anything quantitative to back this up, but the students around me that rely on chatgpt a lot seem to be failing their exams more than those that arent.

Cloud computing is slowly crumbling too. At least in germany more and more companies are going back to on prem, because there are just a bunch of studies showing that cloud stuff is more expensive, less flexible and often actually has more downtime. But unlike other stupid projects you cant just reverse the move to cloud in a few months, it will take years to unfuck everything.
- Comment on Tesseract is shutting down 1 week ago:
This one is a very basic CSAM scanner that goes through lemmy image storage and just deletes stuff it deems bad. github.com/db0/fedi-safety I havent tried it tho, so i cant attest to its quality.
Im sure there are tools made for mastodon too, since it has a lot more users.

Oh yeah for sure there are plenty of great uses for machine learning, i would never deny that.

We arent really in disagreement tho. I am absolutely empathetic with their situation and their burnout. Im just saying they should have seen it coming. Those two things arent contradictory.
- Comment on Tesseract is shutting down 1 week ago:
This really is a complicated problem, but if the fediverse wants to grow without relying on slave labor for moderation like Meta and the rest, then we have to find ways to lighten the load on moderators. Thats why creating transparent pre moderation tools like the image scanners used by many fediverse instances is so important.
