  I mean, radioactive isotopes are formed in supernovae, so it’s really just solar power from a different sun, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you have what it takes to become a geologist?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mitch Hedberg jokes while high is a pretty smart move. Either that or you’re the only person who finds them funny and end up looking like an idiot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cereal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Almost certainly not. It’s common in some communities for people to write their own image transcriptions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Povertymaxxed and bolognapilled⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Spot on!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Povertymaxxed and bolognapilled⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Worse still is the pronunciation of “bologna”. How. Just how. None of you seppos have the right to tell me about how I pronounce “herbs” or “pecans”. Then again, our pronunciation of “lieutenant” is messed up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We’re one step closer to a global cybersecurity standard for smart home devices⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds good in theory, but there is a relevant XKCD.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla Axes its Privacy-Friendly Location Service - OMG! Ubuntu⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh, guess I was wrong. Would be nice if they laid that out a bit more explicitly in the article

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla Axes its Privacy-Friendly Location Service - OMG! Ubuntu⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is just a taste of what’s to come from a Mozilla led by Laura Chambers, the new CEO. We should not let her get away with making these decisions as the faceless Mozilla, and we should make sure that the communities impacted by her decisions are made aware of who is responsible for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Radical Equality⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh, TIL. That actually makes sense

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Radical Equality⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Order matters in academia whether the authors want it to or not. Other academics will look at the order of the authors and make judgements based on that, so you’d have to specify something like “authors listed alphabetically”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Companies Take Hit as Judge Says Artists Have “Public Interest” In Pursuing Lawsuits⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Out of curiosity, why do you say you’re really pro AI? I feel like I’m stuck in an anti-AI bubble ATM.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I had some that looked exactly like this⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Development approval, required by a council before you build something

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I had some that looked exactly like this⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fun fact: you don’t need a DA for these*, so they are a hell of a lot cheaper to install. *Subject to jurisdiction

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the way you say 'France' rhyme with 'pants' or 'aunts'? How the Australian accent is changing⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  or if you’re wrong

  Imagine having this level of self confidence. It’s a potato scallop ya nonce

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plummeting interest rate⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Now there’s a kind of open relationship I can get behind!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plummeting interest rate⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry, I heard asbestos was toxic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plummeting interest rate⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemmy is like Reddit, but with an even greater concentration of Linux and FOSS nerds, so the likelihood is extremely low.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Fires Up Its Space Lasers⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Until Bezos buys her too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Child psychiatrist jailed after using AI to make pornographic deep-fakes of kids⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure what laws the states or Canada have, but it’s considered child pornography if it’s a depiction of CSA, regardless of whether it’s an adult acting, or cartoons, or AI. I suspect at least some states in the US have similar laws.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Robot mistakes man for box of peppers, kills him — Malfunctioning sensor system blamed for technician’s death at Korean food plant⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s reckless, but unless someone with authority is being a pain in the arse about safety, you don’t have a safe work culture that encourages that kind of behaviour. This is yet another example of the holes in the Swiss cheese lining up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Robot mistakes man for box of peppers, kills him — Malfunctioning sensor system blamed for technician’s death at Korean food plant⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My first question when I read the article was why didn’t they lock out/tag out the machine before getting in it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Really shows where their priorities are, doesn't it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  9mm?

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

  I’m not a power user, but I’ve used DDG exclusively for a while now and I often forget that I’m using it. I’d say it’s a pretty seamless transition nowadays.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We've invented some silly concepts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s rare and valuable and necessary, that’s why we should only be allowed one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the U.S., what exactly are we supposed to do when an ambulance, with its sirens on, approaches from behind?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had some training in driving an emergency vehicle and I’ve been in the passenger’s seat a few times, so I know that the one thing the ambulance driver wants is predictability. Do whatever you can to safely get out of their way. Usually that means moving over to the side of the road and slowing down, but if it’s really slow traffic you might have to stop. Whatever you do, don’t stop while you’re in their way.

  Tldr: stay calm and use your common sense.

  FYI, the premier is like the state governor and the prime minister is like the president.
