How the fuck was Uber supposed to help traffic? That’s the most American take on solving traffic issues I’ve read in a while.

Either you innovate or you pay that company $32M every summer forever

Sunwise, as it was based on the movement of the sun during day (in the Northern hemisphere). As watch faces were modelled after sundials, sunwise and clockwise describe the same direction.

Turnwise is a word invented by Pratchett for a book, but it’s clearly based on sunwise. He also used widdershins in his book, which is indeed the unmodified antonym to sunwise.

They actually sent the matching card together with the prototype but apparently LTT lost the card and just decided to use another, incompatible one.

6 GHz is around 50mm iirc

Yes, a faraday cage does work. But note that modern wifi uses high frequencies, which means fairly small waves (edit: of about 5cm). That means your faraday cage needs a meshing of maximum ~2cm 1.25cm. The tighter the less signals it will let through.

Essentially, any mesh storage box should do the trick.

At least here in Europa NA beers have improved wo much in the last few years. I literally don’t know when I last drank one with alcohol when I just felt like drinking a beer (as opposed to when I wanted to drink alcohol).

And since OP likes it fruity, (NA) Radler/Shandy is just great. It’s 50:50 (NA) beer and lemon soda mixed. This was one of the original ways to get a fruity beer with a lower alcohol content (since the soda doesn’t have any) when NA beers weren’t good yet, great for a hot summer day.

Products of Chinese companies aren’t really a good alternative for different reasons

So your PC was old (thus the new one faster) and its HW no longer supported by some software developers (because it was outdated and not enough users were on it anymore). The same can hold true if you have a 5 year old PC now. You didn’t notice this due to going 64bit, you noticed it due to going away from a heavily outdated system.

For me it’s the other way around, subscriptions work well, except subscribing to communities on lemmy.world often results in it pending. And retrying doesn’t help either.

Must be really hard to resist the urge to sue Musk over this branding, force him to cease using it, and then directly rebrand Threads as X. Just to rub it in.

Or maybe better, create a new payment platform that is tightly coupled to their social media platforms and call that X.

I think some of us also had hopes that the new CEO would put a leash on Musk and steer Twitter into calmer waters again, but this was just proof that Musk is still doing wtf he wants and the CEO is just there for show. So people have now abandoned their last bit of hope and therefore abandoned T…I mean X as well.

While I haven’t been an active user in a longer time, I’ve still been a very active lurker until Musk took over. By now, I’ve only checked Twitter every now and then when bored, to see what happened (as I mostly used Twitter as some kind of news feeds for stuff I couldn’t easily follow in any other way). But today I started migrating off completely - going through my follow list one by one and finding ways to follow those things (like local police, local town, local zoo, etc.) in other ways.

For some that means slower news, or only the most important news - which kinda sucks, as e.g. local police info were good to have in real time during major events or when there was some protest going on. For some this even means mailing lists, ugh.

And a few I couldn’t replace at all, so I’ll miss out on those news. Sucks, but hopefully those people/entities will provide their news feed through some better means sometime now.

Check out all instances with grad in their name as well as all instances with .ml domains.

It’s a nice bonus that they can interact with each other, but microblogging and link aggregation are two different things, no need to make them more interoperable than they are.

You’re paranoid, mate

Matrix is the federated alternative to XMPP and IRC first and foremost, imho

Maybe we should create a community that is called c/nostupidanswers instead of c/nostupidquestions

Reddit Premium gave me 700 per month while also enabling premium users to use a bunch of fancy awards for cheap. So I never used most of the monthly coins and they accumulated over time.
