It's the third option. A modern computer running modern software that just didn't bother to look modern. Turns out there are some significant performance gains to be had if you don't care too much about your window decorati

The dutch police used to be, up until fairly recently, quite hamfisted. My dad (along with the protest group he was in) even got labeled a terrorist in his youth for protesting this sort of thing. Things have changed for the better a lot

A lot of people bringing drama and/or low effort posts end up on mastodon.social. No clue how true it is but there have been claims that mastodon.social doesn't properly moderate their instance. As far as I can tell mastodon.soc

I feel like loading whilst charging would minimize the impact charging makes quite significantly. Fast charging takes what, 20 minutes? I'm not sure loading a van is much faster.

> Threads claims plans to federate with Mastodon after all. Note that this is deeply worrying to a lot of Mastodon users. There's the fear that this is an embrace-extend-extinguish type move. Only time will tell.

It's because some people really like mastodon and there's a lot of, at best, odd arguments going around why it'll never work. Never mind that for a large amount of people it's already working .

Youtube won't take my money even if I wanted to give it to them. I've got no credit card nor the desire to get one, and it's the only payment method accepted.

If you don't have any idea how dangerous something is, you're probably going to want to estimate it as pretty damn dangerous . Of course there's enough data here to make an estimate, though IMO that estimate would still en

Oh, that's surprising. But given that they say it's "presumed" remains it's probably a safe bet it's not anything remotely resembling human-shaped anymore.

There's some absolutely ridiculous forces involved here. "And then they turned into physics" is probably the only respectful way to phrase things. > What does a simple high-energy implosion do to a body? Turn it into a p

Method of death isn't the relevant bit here. Likelihood is. A waiver for a one-in-however-many chance of having a heart attack in a sauna is of different orders of magnitude than a waiver for a one-in-maybe-a-dozen chance of having the

See also: the way freenode went under. Some asshole seized power, and then nothing happened for a bit. Then staffers got replaced as they got too uppity. Then a bit later anyone mentioning libera.chat in official freenode channels got kicke

Surely you don't need something as sensitive as your lips to detect if something is ~270c?

Another good trick here is to do two measurements. Once with a light on your bot aimed at the line on , and once with it off . Taking the difference between these measurements will fairly reliably reject ambient lighting. Of course gettin

In general with the fediverse you go to the domain after the @ and over there use the search box to find the part preceding the @. In this case that leads me to https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted
