they’re talking about inheritance as a suggested new way to pay for your copilot subscription

it’s like how the linux kernel isn’t semver: the number after the decimal point has a maximum of .19 and then the first number increments

except that one time

kernel version 4.20 is the only .20 kernel version

in a situation in which harm increase over time, like the rise of far right, anti-science, environmental damage, etc… perhaps that “wait” is a less ethical solution than to solve the problem

now, perhaps causing harm isn’t the way to go, but… the lesser of 2 evils may still be somewhat problematic

in australia they absolutely do

we take skin cancer very seriously down here

tmux > gnome

i don’t think you understand what the word “crime” means

when people are forced to choose starvation or shoplifting, there’s not a great deal of choice there

it’s not self hate: it’s an acknowledgment that SNAP is survival, and people will find a way to survive with or without it… without it, it’s just far less fair and measurable

right? i sounds great until you realize oh shit… logistics exist… all those perishable goods don’t just magically appear on people’s plates… 2.3billion people’s worth of food waste for 7.7bn people is honestly bloody miraculous tbh… can we do more to reduce food waste in our rich nations? sure… would that help feed people in areas of famine? unlikely

the case for grid-scale batteries is getting stronger every month:

the more people driving EVs the more used EV batteries will become available… EVs require a pretty good energy density, but grid storage can buy up a bunch of dirt cheap EV batteries with 60% capacity and call it a day, and then onsell them for recycling in 10 years for exactly the same price (because the raw materials are the same: recyclers don’t care if the battery has 100% or 60% or 50% max capacity)

other battery tech is also getting much more interesting, like sodium batteries. they don’t have the energy density of lithium, but they’re more durable and have less fire risk. they’re pretty ideal for grid-scale storage, and when commodities of scale kick in with them they’re likely to become pretty common in grid storage and prices and usefulness just gets better from there

also, afaik gravity batteries aren’t really being used… the most common thing these days looks like it’s going to be flywheels, but using them more like capacitors: smoothing out load spikes and maintaining grid frequency (which with PV can go downhill fast)

i agree with the anti-nuclear, but the mining conditions are really far less of a problem with uranium… canada and australia are #2 and #4 in the world respectively

uranium is relatively plentiful, and hugely energy-dense so most places have some that’s viable to extract, and it’s not worth cheaping out on costs to save a couple of $ buying from slave mines given the potential backlash

i actually wouldn’t be surprised if uranium mining is one of the best jobs in the developing world because if they actually want to sell their product they’d have to market their working conditions

nuclear costs a shit load of money up front and has such massive NIMBY pushback… it’s great for the fossil fuel industry to argue for because it’s politically impossible to actually implement: we need more nuclear! stop with all the renewables! leads to only 1 thing… talk about nuclear and no more renewables

meanwhile, batteries really don’t produce much environmental damage… that’s just straight up misinformation… and the bonus with batteries is nice the materielsd are mined, you can recycle them back to brand new forever… you don’t have to keep mining all the lithium; just enough to keep up with new capacity

so have bacteria but that doesn’t make them entirely benign when introduced to humans

okay but that’s also cats

even then we still need far more batteries. we need them for the grid (though alternate chemistries are looking better for that; cars are trickier in many ways), and even with public transit we still need trucks and vehicles for last-mile transport of goods

perhaps you should unblock specific domains in that case

but i’d also suggest a blocker that uses auto-updated lists rather than whole gTLDs; they’re likely to catch more and deny fewer false positives

i have a humidity sensor in the bathroom that turns the ceiling fan on, and the way that works is that it compares the bathroom humidity to humidity in other areas of the house, so it takes into account humid/dry days automatically

for me, switching to dvorak about 10 years ago has made me absolutely useless at typing qwerty… i get used to it after 5min, but much slower than i used to be and wow is it paiiiiiin (both literally in my wrists - the reason i switched, and figuratively in that i feel like im fighting the keyboard for every word)

… or perhaps you mean the differences in physical layout

sewer systems aren’t air tight either - they need to let gasses escape, so i think even without an airtight seal if we consider a sewer in general a pipe system of this category it’s fair to consider the connection between butt and toilet also part of this system

many people have a special wireless connection, which explains the sewage that spews from their mouth
