Does it show any error in the browser console on the lemmy.world side? Maybe there is some problem with CORS or the image proxy we use, or the AI scraper block… hard to say many possible ways that can go wrong…
And IMHO other Lemmy instances should not hot load images like lemmy.world does. That was never a good idea and that Lemmy still allows configuring it like that is only there for legacy reasons.
This kind of video content is apparently not popular here 😅
I am not overly surprised by this. The humanitarian response funding has been absolutely gutted this year, and not only by Trump (for example German gov. funding is down by 50% since 2022).
Thus organisations are struggleing to keep the lights on in the many emergency responses they already previously committed to, and have also not yet structurally adjusted, so there is an administrative overhang that further swallows what little funding remains.
And without NGO pushing for it, the shallow self of what journalism has become is totally oblivious to such relatively slow moving disasters. But it also becomes a self-reinforcing death spiral with no media coverage there is little non-government donations, thus further reducing the funds available.
Nice to hear that they started operations now.
I found this bit interesting:
The Geretsried project will ultimately provide, in annual terms, 8.2 megawatts of electricity to the grid or about 64 megawatts of heating to the nearby town.
Emphasis mine… so I would guess they focus on electricity production during the summer months?
Such a close loop system has a bit of a low-grade waste heat problem during summer months though, even when using it to produce electricity. I guess we will see more heated public outdoor swimming pools again if this technology takes off.
If would need to be patched in on Linux kernel level, which is annoying to say the least.
It wouldn’t actually come with a case or a PSU, so it is fairly easy to ship. The bigger question would be what your setup is and how comfortable you are with getting things running.
EU / Portugal.
When devs switch their development PCs to ARM, you will also start seeing ARM native versions. It is the same with Linux and Proton.
Given that they did have a beta for Steam on x86 Chromebooks, and Google seems hellbend to replace ChromeOS with an modified version of Android (“AluminiumOS”) these days, it seems likely that Valve will also consider a release for that. I wouldn’t expect them to make an official release for phones though.
After finishing to read the interview it does indeed sound different, but it is odd that this isn’t open-source somewhere like Proton and Fex always were.
I guess that is a streamlined version of Waydroid?
Not very motivated, but I can look into it.
Don’t look online, ask friends and family if someone has an old laptop you can get for free. Very likely someone does, especially if you are ok with a bad battery and/or a broken screen.
A RPi3 can work, but it being ARM based will cause various headaches when learning compared to something x86.
At this point we try to block pretty much everything even remotely related to AI companies.
Soon we will probably have to block Chrome browsers when they start to use them to scrape websites without their users knowing (yes that is why AI companies started to make their own browsers and Mozilla is planning the same proudly proclaiming how “stealthy” they can be with that.).
Google search results have become so useless that I see little point left trying to accomodate their search bot 🤷
Yes I am bitter and can’t wait for the AI bubble to pop.
Typically a video-chat server does no transcoding so this isn’t a major issue. But for hosting a Peertube or Owncast server it would.
The old A/V chats in Matrix were just Jitsi-meet in disguise, but this has been largely deprechiated now with Element Calls.
Bitcoin and Ethereum only have liquidity in the market because scammers use it for their pig butchering etc. scams. And all the major exchanges are complicit in that. Many Banks are scammy, yes, but not that scammy by a long shot. Sorry to burst your bubble 🤷
There arn’t really a lot of fossile fuel plants that are decomissioned before the end of their lifespan, so this is more of an hypothetical solution for maybe sometimes in the future, all the while we continue burning fossile fuels. So basically it is an distraction from doing what is needed now.
And once a fossile fuel plant reaches the end of its lifespan the only usable things that are still there and can be reused is the electricity network connection. So those sites are good locations for cheap grid level battery storage (and maybe novel geothermal), but not small nuclear reactors that still need turbines and cooling towers etc.
