I've never seen any difference with the top two with that test. My monitor is 144hz and TBH I might as well have saved my money and got 60Hz ones.

We're not all hardcore gamers trained to see miniscule differences.

Lemmy disproves the stereotype that Germans lack a sense of humor in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Happens with americans too.. they seem to completely miss sarcasm sometimes. Humour is very cultural (and often plays into things a native of the country would know but someone outside sometimes wouldn't).

There's a lag between human activity and climate change. Rolling out nuclear might have helped a bit, but whether we'd have seen the results today I'm not sure.. the benefits would be in the future.

I doubt cars could have evolved any faster though (well they could, but capitalism, so realistically things went as fast as they could).. so it might not have had much impact at all.

That one is a lost battle, alas. We'll have to hack our browsers to make them secure, or download them via VPNs from the US.

It's 1000 pages apparently, and applies equally to lemmy/mastodon servers.

So unless you're into reading lots of legal text, running a server in the UK just got a whole lot messier.
