- Comment on The youtube algorithm is so bad, I say to my screen "why the fuck would I care about this!?" like 10 times a day. 10 hours ago:
The source is available, right? You just can’t fork it to include ads? Or you can’t fork it at all?
- Comment on What would the world look like if every worker got together and Unionized for a universale wage that helps everyone? Instead of one country trying to screw over another? 3 days ago:
You’d need a world wide government to tax and distribute for that, right? So that government would need to have control of every over country, like the EU on a larger scale. That seems unlikely to happen without violence, but I guess it would work if every worker in the world was suddenly in support of it.
- Comment on The therapy I can afford 5 days ago:
Would not recommend, it’ll regurgitate what you want to hear.
- Comment on We're on the wrong timeline! 5 days ago:
AI companies are looking at nuclear, so we might get a check on the top right box soon.
Three Mile Island is reopening and selling its power to Microsoft
- Comment on Trump administration orders halt to in-progress wind farm construction 1 week ago:
Since the emissions in the lifecycle of a wind turbine are from the energy used, the time period lasted would also be when it breaks even on CO2 emissions.
As for destroying energy, that’s just the efficiency, the other 60% is wasted as heat.
- Comment on Trump administration orders halt to in-progress wind farm construction 1 week ago:
I’m for getting rid of coal and gas entirely, the grid doesn’t need to be that diverse.
- Comment on Trump administration orders halt to in-progress wind farm construction 1 week ago:
Can’t deny facts, only hide from them and live in fantasy world.
Btw, I do agree nuclear is great. But we need as much of both as we can get.

- Comment on If all the money in the world can only make you look as good as elon musk or jeff bezos there is truly some things money can't buy. 1 week ago:
I mean, he used to look like this
- Comment on When I sleep in I have feature-length dreams. 1 week ago:
They stay coherent for that long? My dreams can’t keep a story line going, always running down rabbit holes.
- Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now? 1 week ago:
The scary thing is we have no clue. But they do seem to be racist in their targeting, so if you look white, I’d imagine you’d have a much lower risk.
- Comment on Trump Admin Considering Giving $10,000 To Each Person In Greenland To Annex The Island 1 week ago:
That’d be about half a billion dollars overall. Crazy thing is with the massive unpopularity of being annexed, I think even with a $10k bribe most people would still be against it.
- Comment on Our Intentions to join Fedecan 1 week ago:
Sounds good, but I hope there’s robust protections in place against it becoming for profit if it grows big enough. If we overtake Reddit eventually, there’s some potential profit that will need to be turned down.
- Comment on How does one snap their fingers? 2 weeks ago:
It’s impressive he can snap with a metal gauntlet, I wouldn’t think it’d give enough friction with the metal on metal.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 2 weeks ago:
Which is why they’re upping the prices.
- Comment on What if the Earth rotated 90 degrees? 3 weeks ago:
That’s also a great demonstration of how map projections distort things.
- Comment on Trump hits UK with 10% tariffs as he ignites global trade war 3 weeks ago:
This is actually the lowest of the tariffs, a blanket 10% on every country except those that are higher. It’s crazy. I wonder if this’ll kill anything not coming direct to consumer under the de minimis threshold. Unless they go though with eliminating that too.
- Comment on Israel’s Genocide Has Reportedly Killed More Journalists Than WWI and WWII Combined 3 weeks ago:
Fewer than 232 journalists were killed in WWI and WWII? 50 to 57 million civilians were killed in WWII, were fewer than 200 of them journalists? I can’t find the total number of journalists in 1940, but with that number you could estimate the percentage of the population and multiply by 50M.

I was expecting projectile vomit to fling everywhere.
- Comment on UK greenhouse gases fall again - as renewable electricity hits 50% for the first time 3 weeks ago:
Their emissions per capita are skyrocketing, but their emissions per gdp and emissions per kwh are going down. The country is still developing, so it’s energy demand is going up. At least it doesn’t have large fossil fuel reserves, so pushes them towards renewables.
- Comment on UK greenhouse gases fall again - as renewable electricity hits 50% for the first time 3 weeks ago:
Looks like this is actual energy produced, rather than capacity. That’s impressive
- Comment on What phones are the government people using that are supposedly secure enough to discuss war plans? iPhone? Android? Some special custom-made phone specifically for the government? 4 weeks ago:
They have high side computers they referenced, those are specially vetted. These phones shouldn’t have had sensitive info on them. If the operating system or an app had a screen recorder or key logger, you’d have a leak, even if the encryption is secure. Plus there’s the physical vulnerability of people seeing it in public or losing the phone.
- Comment on 92.5% of New Power Capacity Added Worldwide in 2024 Was from Renewables - CleanTechnica 4 weeks ago:
If those both are true, that’d mean the green energy has a really abysmal utilization factor (power generated to installed capacity ratio). I think it’d imply a utilization factor of 0.038. I thought it was closer to 0.37 for wind and 0.25 for solar. Maybe there’s a difference in what each is counting as renewable? Or how they’re continuing non renewable production capacity?
92.5x/7.5=32/67, x=0.038
- Comment on How to delete your 23andMe data 4 weeks ago:
Why do they retain your genetic information? Isn’t that the whole point to get rid of that? What do they delete then if they keep everything of importance?
- Comment on c/complexity - a community focused on Complexity and systems thinking on Lemmy.World 4 weeks ago:
Thanks! I guess it’s the super category of things like control theory and model based systems engineering?
- Comment on c/complexity - a community focused on Complexity and systems thinking on Lemmy.World 4 weeks ago:
A more full description would be appreciated, I still have no idea what it’s about. Is this a philosophy? A field of mathematics? A physics concept?
- Comment on LAN (local area network) games 4 weeks ago:
Oh yeah, I remember now. It wasn’t registering the IP. But yeah there should be a way, I was just having technical issues with it.
- Comment on LAN (local area network) games 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t see a way to set it up on Java without running a local server. Is there? I prefer Java, but it seemed like a lot of hours of work to get a server set up.
- Comment on LAN (local area network) games 4 weeks ago:
Minecraft bedrock works over lan, I enjoy playing with my brother. Not exactly pvp though…
- Comment on YSK that some governments have technology known as Directed-energy weapons such as Long-range acoustic device and Active Denial System... (continue in post) 5 weeks ago:
Tech ingredients has some interesting videos on microwave crowd control weapons, and how to defeat them. It’s mostly metal mesh in your cloths or a shield.
