  I dunno how viable it is, but linux phones with waydroid is a thing

  Also, I’d imagine that a small pocket of custom ROM amd root folks will still exist

  Come hell or high water, i will retain control of my phone

  There’s the FairPhone 6, running e/OS, Which is a deGoogled port of android, running microG

  That is adipose tissue (body fat)

  So yes, she’s American

  Imo, it’s nice to see tools written in a memory safe systems language

  Especially if you use a lot of them. More utility, less attack surface

  I said

  solar and wind are intermittent and therefore not ideal for dealing with real-time grid demand

  The grid has to meet demand in real time. You can’t make the wind start blowing within a few seconds to ramp up supply, and battery technology isn’t capable of storing enough juice to handle this either

  That’s why the grid uses different power sources, each with different response times, each serving a different purpose

  • Nuclear has slow reaction time, so is used to handle the bulk of daily power
  • Then natural gas and coal have faster reaction times, and can be used to fill in as demand varies minute to minute

  The reason i discount solar is that, (i’m assuming) carbon capture requires equivalent amounts of energy that was produced by burning the hydrocarbons

  This means, we would need to produce roughly double our current energy consumption (1x to continue current consumption, 1x to carbon capture at a rate comparable to historic carbon emissions)

  Also, solar and wind are intermittent, and therefore not ideal for dealing with real-time grid demand. However, that may make them ideal for passive carbon capture

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inspiring. Innovating.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Carbon capture is the inverse of burning hydrocarbons (fossil fuels). You have to dump energy (from the grid) into a chemical processes that “refine” the air back into concentrated carbon

  The only way this thermodynamically is viable is with a surplus of carbon neutral energy

  So either nuclear, or fusion

  That’s my thinking

  If you know what you’re doing, it’s significantly easier to do it yourself

  You at least have some reassurance it’s correct (or at least thought through)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It Took Many Years And Billions Of Dollars, But Microsoft Finally Invented A Calculator That Is Wrong Sometimes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How do you know those formulas are correct?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the ping between your eyes and brain increase when you're tired?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think i chose my terms poorly

  In this case, what i meant by “Signal propagation” was purely the time delay from retinal stimulation, to optic nerve, to brain

  And by “brain processing”, i meant “the time it takes from brain receives visual data to you experiencing it”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the ping between your eyes and brain increase when you're tired?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would expect that brain processing takes orders of magnitude longer than signal propagation

  So, while you’re probably correct, I’d wager that the brain processing delay drowns out any variances in signal propagation speeda

  (I are computer science, not neuroscience)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vinegar⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  1 - popsci headlines about food are always bogus 2 - skimming through the article, it suggests that the Vit B in vinegar is the suspected cause 3 - substituting vinegar for antidepressants (which the article does not state, but seems to elude to) is a bad idea
