So you want oppressed people to use the Chinese Yuan or Russian Rubel and Argentinian Pesos as their Currency (super unstable in value due to inflation, highly surveiled) rather than giving them choice to use something like Monero to transact in privacy?
If you do not live in a dictatorship you have no right to comment on the usefulness of a privacy preserving tool. Maybe you do not see its value, but others in different situations than yours might need it.
I think that the additional weight on the water on the surface of the outer airplane body increases friction with the air, and also weight of the aircraft. But does the fuel consumption increase? And by how much?
Is there a map that shows the minimum recorded temperature for each spot on earth? This would be interesting to see the coldest places on earth, and also see the countries where water never freezes because of ambient temperature … I guess the every spot in the US would still be under 0°C ?...
really like it … The mobs from pigs to zombies and skeletons, are the best mobs I have seen in minetest yet. now we need some mod makers to make it even more awesome! I know, I know, copying popular minecraft mods seems uncreative, but really would like some technic modpack for this + some Aether Mod. Maybe add some creative spin as well!
Created an Equivalent exchange mod for default minetest , eventually want to support mineclone as well, for that I need to change some dictionary entries. And to polish the mod, add support to generate unknown EMC values based on recipes.
Purely text based content is way easier on the servers. If all Lemmy users uploaded videos and high res images all the time, the servers could not keep up, right?
consider that they use hardware that is run on donation (or their own) money
Some automated algorithms can be good for content discovery and discovery of new creators tho
if you are to lazy to type in your search term into a text box
if you do not even know how to articulate the name of the content you search for in text form
These automatic suggestion algorithms are perfect for mindless scrolling in an entertainment sense … these ranking algorithms justify the massive data collection we witness today.
I wonder if there is another way of decentralized way of content creator discovery without the current drawbacks.
I thought about it, but the additional display, made me think about power saving, how to shut off screen, while keeping the headless service loaded? ... premature optimization?
damn … why is there so much unclaimed white space in (north) africa? Below Tunis for example… why did no one claim the Sahara space until/ before colonization?
Correct me if I'm wrong. I read ActivityPub standards and dug a little into lemmy sources to understand how federation works. And I'm a bit disappointed. Every server just has a cache and the ability to fetch something from another known server. So if you start your own instance, there is no profit for the whole network until...
Since Lemmy instance are not backed by commercial interest, but rather by nice volunteers and donors that have money and time to spare, they will be heavily affected by economic downturns (we still can see commercial interests still affect users negatively tho with reddit). Here are my thoughts on the matter:
as far as I understand the owner of the domain: https://lemmy.world even has to pay for this fancy domain name in the DNS system … every month subscription service style
(and tbh I hate the Domain name system) why should I fund it with my own money?
if you hosted with an onion site over tor that expenditure would not exist, but how would users discover your site then? Let me know if you know something about this
in times of deflation (meaning money becomes worth more, spending some money on a self hosted lemmy instance becomes nonsensical)
tbh if I hosted a lemmy instance and the users of my instance posted high quality content in quantity I would use it to train my own LLM, that would at least create some economic incentive for me to host such a page … but managing spam and bots will be HARD
That is why you should always back up your comments on your personal device, would be nice if lemmy had an automated way of doing this (I should look into this more)

Map of minimum temperatures
