That was much better than expected, thanks :) it's like Bach's fugues went down blues/funk, then Mozart stopped by and then some rappers streamed in. Good stuff.

"Don't look up" also has those "and this is why God sent the flood" (aka what is this shit, start over!) vibes.

That's a good way to distribute the storage load, not sure about speed and fetching, but it vaguely reminds me of P2P and IPFS. In the end, it's just a continuum in Ninstances, users/instance, communities/instance, instances/server... https://discuss.ipfs.tech/t/activitypub-integration-with-ipfs/4081

I was wondering what it takes to build subnautica mods and updates on Subnautica II. Found it through the new communities community.

That's already owned by Elon, but wankgoblin is available :D

Yea, but what are they expecting by paying 44B? That every sad twatter sod moves to tiktok? Because we aren't suddenly going to go outside. Anyway, this may become a very special summer for people to experience the great outdoors (or not, e.g. France) if a billionaire buys and shutters a popular platform in a year :)

I don't see why this is a problem (apart from supposedly private data like email), it's not just Google that can do this, all this data is available to everyone for everyone who can use it to benefit. If you want to make Google pay for a publicly available good, tax them accordingly. That's the point of taxes: if you are successful enough to take advantage in any way from a country's public roads, education system, access to a labour market and a functioning society generally, taxing the massive profits from using that system is fair, not enclosing everything and holding access to the content we contributed hostage.

Correct about the reduce and reuse before recycling.

But there is one thing to consider: does recharging efficiency also go down with battery lifecycles? Because that is the main factor in determining whether you should reuse it or not.

I had this impression that the microscopic flaws that cause reductions to capacity also produce waste heat (and from real life dealing with old phone batteries that take forever and heat up when recharging), which you don't want or at least need to calculate a break-even point when recharging efficiency is low enough to send to recycle.

I still think you're giving him way too much credit. Either way, he ain't getting out of this without looking like an idiot who should stick to what he is good at: hype and marketing.

This is not about petty politics and frankly I think your topic shift is completely out of place here. What this is fundamentally about is preventing any idiot with money and/or power from purchasing/capturing and then proceeding to ruin our townsquares like some wannabe totalitarian asshole. And some people will say that "it's ok, because it's a private platform and he bought/built it". Ok, now it's a million private platforms, he can go buy each and every one of them and we'll make new ones and move to the ones he hasn't bought yet.

If that is true, that is not something to look forward to. It means that ... oh ok this is c/singularity, carry on, lol

I couldn't help but get this tingling feeling that Elon was going to buy reddit and fuck it up next...to punish us mortals for not building enough altars to his martian lowness :P
