Might have the big dumb
I think most popular apps (boost, voyager if i remember, etc.) have this feature. I dont believe lemmy has this natively.
Note that blocking instances doesn’t mean you wont see comments from there. It only works on communities.
To be honest though, most of the problematic people only comment on specific posts/communities so blocking certain keywords and instances should fare pretty well.
500k is absurdly low these days to be considered rich. Thats like a house in the midwest, or around half a house in cali
Unless the real estate bubble pops, which I have no faith in happening anytime soon.
The you part of youtube was definitely people making videos for the fun of it. Things like videos about a topic they’re passionate about (eg. Fallout NV, weird mechanics in games, etc.), 2008-esque skits, lets plays, and all that. It still exists, but youtube was really at its peak when it was just a buncha random people living their lives and having fun.
Just because people don’t like a certain food doesnt mean their taste buds have a problem. Liking food is all subjective, that’s what it means to be human
Bill Gates in this episode looks like he’d have nanomachines
You have a valid point but also having walkable sidewalks is an important thing. You’d need at least a bit of concrete/asphalt to make sure everyone, especially those with disabilities, can move around.
Making sure the leaves are out of the way allows pedestrians to walk safely (no hidden sharp objects, no slipping on wet leaves, etc.) and makes sure those on wheelchairs are also able to pass.
Not sure why raking isn’t more popular though. I’m tormented by leaf blowers in the morning at 7:30.
At least it does mean your cat can never turn off your pc ever again with this
If it helps, I also use borked and gg in everyday life
Though I guess only because my friend group plays a lot of games so its a very familiar term
Depends on the desalination method. If there’s no added chemicals, or if they removed them prior, I’d assume it’s feasible. After all, ancient times used to just evaporate seawater and get salt from it.
It might just be an economic problem. Questions such as where are you going to get land for creating huge evaporation pools, is it worth the yield of table salt, etc.
Just one short trip… I just need a bit of nickel

Those are the exact brine lakes I talked about that exist in the bottom of the ocean.
Brine is too dense to be above seawater. They accumulate in the bottom, creating essentially small pockets that kills almost every normal life. Only extremophiles live near it, and even then its usually just surrounding the edges of the lake.
You also can’t exactly guarantee that the brine you make ends up here. They are in the bottom of the ocean, not exactly a place you can pump brine to.
Are there any brine reservoir in the ocean? That doesn’t seem to be a thing. It either mixes properly with the ocean if proper mechanisms are set or it just ends up sinking to the bottom of the ocean and killing everything there.
There’s storage inland, but that also has its own problems.
Nuclear waste in the ocean follows a similar idea (although larger in scope). You can’t just dump it and be done. You have to create a plan to slowly release it (over decades) to (hopefully) not adversely affect life
Salinity doesn’t really work like that. You can’t just dump a bunch of brine and expect it to just mix with the rest of the seawater. A lot of that depends on temperature, currents, etc. You might just end up forming a brine lake in the ocean if the brine just so happens to end up at the bottom without ever mixing. Not to mention brine isn’t always just concentrated salt and water. It can include byproducts from desalination.
Reference:
Chinatown is a more unique environment. Lots of foot traffic, sidewalk vendors, and really tight knit community. Its not a scaleable solution though. Hard to make that kinda of super dense area everywhere
I wonder if they’re including those that are living in internet cafes and such. I remember that being a pretty prevalent problem a bit back. Wikipedia says they counted it on 2007, but no notes of whether they continue to include them or not as homeless.
Not discounting their achievement though, they have their shit together, at least way more than the US
Good for you! I’m still waiting for the day the tech world unionizes and push back on the recent horrendous decisions
Yes and no. In a perfect world, people would be able to uphold their ethics. Unfortunately, in the real world, people don’t have that luxury. A job is their lifeline to basic necessities, and sacrificing their job might mean going to debt for many. Especially if you are young and without many options due to the lower level pullback in the tech sphere.
The issue is that people who find an issue with it and don’t want to do it will get told off by management. Then management just replaces them with someone who is willing to do it (for job safety, or simply because they don’t care)
Thats just how big tech is
In their memo announcing 5 days RTO they also said they’ll be increasing contributor to manager ratio. Guess they meant that by firing a bunch of managers
Simple solution: turn off rgb. Usually can be done throigh software or theres a dedictaed fn key combination for it
Or you can go down the mech keeb rabbithole and start collecting nice boards
