They understand the mechanisms of abuse and have a stunning gift
For abusing users, yes. Thanks, but no thanks.
As an Anarchist myself: this is the most absurd take on ACAB and moderation I have heard in a while.
And apparently you have been lucky to not have had to deal with bad-faith concern trolling that some narcissist like to do online.
It still seems to be under heavy discussion. see this recent article: https://netzpolitik.org/2024/eu-council-discusses-digital-euro-and-how-much-privacy-should-it-be/
I assume the end result will be more privacy preserving than current commercial offers like Visa or Mastercard, but it will be a trade-off between what commercial data-brokers will be able to see and what the central bank will be able to see. Pick your poison I guess 😒
Realistically it might also become so bureaucratic that it will see limited uptake, but specifically for GNU Taler it might make it possible for a Taler intermediatory to exchange digital Euros for tokens in your Taler wallet without having a banking license, which could help Taler adoption a lot. But I guess the latter would depend on how usable the former is. Like if it is too bureocratic, then a separate payment system based on it could thrive, but if it is easy to use, then too few people would probably see the benefit of GNU Taler as an extra step.
There is also the deep asymmetry of effort. Nearly all moderators are volunteers that put in largely invisible effort every day, for no return. As all humans they sometimes make mistakes and can also have a bad day.
On the other hand there are people that put almost no effort in, but are deeply offended by any moderation action against them and will rise a huge stink about it.
These two factors together make people very reluctant to volunteer for moderation duties in popular communities, which is a major issue for the health of the Lemmyverse as a whole.
Yes, but in a hypothetical world where Mexico was part of the US, the per capital consumption of the US would also look much better on paper.
Yes, but when taking regional inequality in account, the picture becomes clearer. There are regions in both China and India where the per capital consumption is nearly as bad as in the US.
Carbon capture isn’t so we can continue to use fossil fuels.
But that is literally how it is used in the official plans and projections by governments and the UN. They nearly all plan with an increase of fossil fuel use and later (unrealistic) draw-down to reach “net zero” by the 2050ties or so.
There are so many factors that play into that, including the energy mix of the country you live in and so on.
The studies I have seen are a bit suspicious as they seem to employ figures that just so happen to support the idea that buying new cars (EVs in this case) is good. This is not to say that these figures are false, but they fit a bit too well into what the likely funders of these studies want to hear.
The real answer is probably: drive less, and only if you absolutely can not do that, maybe consider getting an EV instead of continuing to use your current ICE car.
Before demolition, though, a team of Japanese researchers meticulously documented the architectural marvel
Is what the article says.
China Three Gorges says that the enormous integrated energy site’s power will be dispatched to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei cluster in northern China via an ultra-high voltage power transmission line.
These are build in the desert and power is transmitted via a single large transmission line.
It’s probably easier to do so from a planning and regulatory standpoint, but I agree that otherwise it would be wiser to have them closer to the end users.
The one at the top could also be a connector for a serial port for debugging or so.
Not more than this process took out of the atmosphere before, so they are at least carbon neutral.
https://github.com/fatedier/frp seems to be designed for such cases, but I have not tried it myself.
Lets see. This post has some thoughts on that matter.
The stick is better for movement, while the pads are better for aiming. And the buttons work fine where they are.
Arguably the left side pad is a bit useless for gaming itself, but its nice to have two pads for desktop navigation and using the on screen keyboard that is build into steam.
Steam controller obviously (for everything other than retro gaming which often requires a dpad).
As usual you show a complete lack of reading comprehension as this is about making synthetic fuels with concentrated solar power.
Maybe in some remote, off-grid cabins, otherwise heating with synthetic fuels would be hugely inefficient.
With hardware like that the main issues are power inefficiency and (often) lack of UEFI support making it hard to install modern distros on them.
Otherwise there should be mitigations for the CPU issues, so unlikely that it will be a real issue from the security perspective.
