  It depends on how you define “the USA”. If you mean the people of this country, then absolutely they are working against us. If you mean the people with loads and loads of money, then no, they are working as hard as they fucking can for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is the hydrogen made?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It wins by a huge margin on the energy to weight ratio. In scenarios where weight doesn’t matter it’s dumb, but there is potential in places like air travel where it does make sense.

  This is fucking hilarious. One of the most legitimataly funny XKCDs I’ve seen.

  You apparently haven’t tried calling local government agencies in mid-size cities, or a good chunk of airlines. It’s frustrating and I welcome anything that can help.

  Or a movement to get people off whatsapp and into signal.

  Honestly the 1.2 TB I’m the early 90s is an insanely impressive figure to me. I mean in that era a gigabyte seemed like an obscene amount of data, the interat ran at less than 56 kbps, and I don’t think I had a 1GB drive in my hime PC until almost the turn of the millennium. Sending and storing that much from venus is a huge accomplishment.

  Just for clarity, they already switched protocols (Manifest v3), they just have continued to support the old format (v2) that allows unlock origin to work. They are discontinuing support for v2 next year.

  Yeah but they were able to cut out union laborers… think of the poor shareholders and so being so greedy.

  Turok had you use the c buttons for movement and the stick to aim. It worked really well, and was functionally dual-analog too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google paid a whopping $26.3 billion in 2021 to be the default search engine everywhere⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Google could be broken up into

  • search
  • chrome / gsuite
  • YouTube
  • gcloud
  • ads
  • android And I’m sure more

  MS

  • windows / office
  • azure
  • xbox
  • bing …I’m too tired to keep going lok

  If those had to all survive independently and couldn’t leech off profits of the parent organization we could have true competition. Instead you just need one super-profitable arm of a company than loss-lead your way into other verticals and oit-compete everyone else because you don’t have to turn a profit, at least while the competition is still cling on.

  Crab People. Look like crab, talk like people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube cracking on ad blockers.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hopefully it’s a positive feedback loop situation here. More nebula subscribers-> more revenue -> more creators -> more subscribers. It’s good that it’s owned and ran by some creators so hopefully they stay true to their cause here.

  They were awesome, but as it common at these compnaies when the CEO driving a lot of these changes left, they brought in some grey-hair bean counter who has been slowly rolling shitty-change onto shitty change. I really loved them when I switched form Verizon around ~2015 but I’m now starting to look at other optoins. Google Fi is currently the top of my list but we’ll see.

  Especially if it’s like a local craft root beer in a glass bottle. That shit slaps. Also cream soda.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the Israel thing going on?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is an incredible write up and really covered the bulk of it. I would say that Hamas should be called out a little more for their atrocities over the years, but you’re right in that they only exist due to radicilzation by way of Isreals policies. This is a case of both sides suck, and innocent people who had the bad luck of being born in the wrong place/time/religion will suffer.

  The only thing missing from hotels is a private common area for groups. If they had more hotels with 2/3 bedrooms around a living space I would never airbnb again.

  For step 6 - are you aware of the tooling the admin at dbzero has built to automate the scanning of images in Lemmy instances? It looks pretty promising.
