It’s a bit of a bitch, and they can kill it at the drop of a hat.
- Comment on New York Startup Builds Fridge-Sized Machine That Can Turn Air Into Gasoline 1 day ago:
Eh?
You take excess green power and use it to generate gasoline. You use that gasoline in a combustion engine. Where is the extra carbon coming from which makes this non neutral?
- Comment on New York Startup Builds Fridge-Sized Machine That Can Turn Air Into Gasoline 1 day ago:
I could see this being useful in places where day/night cycle is skewed to prolonged periods of each. Or perhaps holding excess power from summer into winter since days are so much shorter.
But yeah, this doesn’t really seem like the best way to store grid power.
- Comment on New York Startup Builds Fridge-Sized Machine That Can Turn Air Into Gasoline 1 day ago:
Gasoline is a very high energy material. You can put it into anything (that works with gas) in seconds and store it for months.
Is this a perfect solution? No. But it’s technically possible to achieve carbon neutrality on an ICE vehicle with zero modification, you’ve just got ~50% loss on the solar you collected.

Eh? You don’t need open internet for drone attacks.

I mean, if you want to promote division within a country, ensuring that countries citizenry has access to your propaganda is pretty important.

Iirc Cloudflare sells domain names at cost.
- Comment on Ring Cameras Join Flock and Amazon to Now Create Direct Data Access for ICE 4 days ago:
Look, I’ve had a random person walk into my house uninvited before, and having a recording of it was useful. Just because you don’t like the idea of one of the examples given, doesn’t mean these devices have no use.
- Comment on Man uses 99 phones to trick Google Maps into thinking there’s a traffic jam to prove a big point 4 days ago:
I mean, it isn’t even to prove it’s something you can do. This was done years ago as a proof of concept already. So he’s literally just doing something that’s already been done, and calling it art.
Like walking into an elevator, pushing all the buttons, and going “art!”

Avoid the mindset that your kid might sneak out, or an unwanted guest might have shown up?
Ignorance may be bliss, but it certainly doesn’t stop shenanigans from happening.
- Comment on Ring Cameras Join Flock and Amazon to Now Create Direct Data Access for ICE 5 days ago:
Only problem with the Ubiquiti offering is that it offers no storage, you need a controller with storage installed.
- Comment on DuckDuckGo Launches Public Vote on AI and User Choice 6 days ago:
This is a weird response to a vote. If they told you the good, you’d complain they didn’t tell you the bad. If they told you the bad, you’d complain they were skewing one way or the other.
- Comment on YouTube disabled SRV3 subtitle uploads and started deleting them on existing videos 1 week ago:
More like unofficially supported. The fact that they worked points to the fact that they were quite literally supported.
- Comment on Australia social media ban hits 4.7 million teen accounts in first month 1 week ago:
It’s good in the sense that research suggests social media is terrible for teens. Well, anyone in general but especially teens.
It’s bad in the sense that you need to prove you’re not a teen. How does one do that? By handing over PII and trusting it won’t be abused or exfiltrated.
- Comment on Architecting Consent for AI: Deceptive Patterns in Firefox Link Previews 2 weeks ago:
Not this seems overly reachy Firefox hate. This feature pushed months ago didn’t it? I managed to turn it off without even having to dig, and I know this because I don’t even remember how to do it.
Firefox defaulting a link preview gesture to on, but making the AI off by default, isn’t a dark pattern. Every new update doesn’t turn this back on if previously disabled. And trying to twist this into “Firefox is using dark patterns to trick you into using AI” just feels like an attempt to shove “Firefox bad” down people’s throats.
I find the amount of Firefox hate Lemmy seems to display so odd, especially when literally every other browser out there, from chrome to brave to opera, and everything in between, barely ever gets even a mention.
This stinks of negative advertising, and I’m getting so fucking tired of it.

- Comment on Fuck. My. Life. 🙃 3 weeks ago:
I need to point out, IPA isn’t magical. If you’re just giving it a quick swipe, or mopping it around, you’re not actually cleaning it you’re just moving the mess around. It’s fine for some in between stuff, but scrubbing with soap and warm water is going to be much more efficient at cleaning the plate.

It’s always funny when a service “bans” the use of a VPN but you can almost always find a server that works.

Funnily enough, the same thing goes for battery “packs” in UPS units. The UPS costs ~$2500? The replacement “packs” will cost a few hundred dollars at least. But the batteries are standard 99.9% of the time, and cost 1/4th the pack if you simply disassemble your existing pack and transfer the hardware onto the new batteries.
I’ve saved hundreds doing this, and since the batteries are standardized, you can usually find a great deal on them beyond their regular price.

Good thing the goddess’ abilities matched well with his own. Imagine things wouldn’t have worked out so well if she was the goddess of magical hats or something.
When she asked him what blessing he wanted, I believe there were a number of weapons shown within her eye. I’m pretty sure he already got the “blessing of daggers” so he went with swords this time.
