  • Why do you think solar has to be local?

  • You can double check it but I think solar is cheaper now. I was shocked as well, I thought nuclear was the cheapest still.

  • Let's be realistic. Not everyone is going to move to Codeberg. Godot moving to Codeberg would be decentralizing.

  • We should get ahead of the curve by making Markcoin then. Let's do halfsies on an ICO.

  • Yeah, in the book of Revelation in the Bible as a sign of the end times followers of Satan will have a visible mark on them. Many evangelical Christian conspiracy theorists believe that in a literal sense. Paired with many conservatives also not wanting the government to be able to track them, a national ID system (as opposed to state IDs) has never really gain traction.

    You can read more about this here if you're interested. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_beast#Mark_of_the_beast

    Some fundamentalist Christian groups, as well as various Christian writers in other traditions, interpret the mark as a requirement for all commerce to mean that the mark might actually be an object in the right hand or forehead with the function of a credit card, such as RFID microchip implants.[73] Some of these groups believe the implantation of chips may be the imprinting of the mark of the beast, prophesied to be a requirement for all trade and a precursor to God's wrath.[74][75] Similar objections were raised about barcodes upon their introduction.[76]

    During the COVID-19 pandemic, some groups associated COVID-19 vaccines and mask wearing with the mark of the beast, or that it was a microchip in the vaccine.[77] Some religious leaders spoke out against this as a misinterpretation of Revelation 13:16-18.[78] Medical institutions such as Hennepin County Medical Center noted this in their fact sheets about the vaccine.[79] A similar version was spread by Marjorie Taylor Greene, who referred to vaccine passports as being the mark of the beast.[80]

  • The same group that pushes for voter ID laws refuses to implement a national ID system because they're afraid of the mark of the beast.

  • The Wall Street Journal Gets Community Noted For Saying Gen Zers And Millennials Are 'Splurging On Rotisserie Chickens'

    Jump

  • TL;DR: Rotisserie chickens are smaller on average and price per pound usually more expensive except at stores like Costco. So you see similar numbers but don't notice the size.

  • I remember working on the deli when we'd markdown the chickens. Folks knew when we put them out and how long we waited before doing it. There was generally a little crowd of 2 to 3 folks when we'd do it on the weekend. Sometimes they'd get impatient and ask us if we were gonna come do it. Which, to be honest, I don't really blame them. I don't remember how much of a savings it was but it was significant. It's sort of like "hey buddy, let's stop the charade, I need to get going, can you come mark these down a few minutes early?"

  • Well obviously the propaganda I grew up with is better and clearly didn't affect me at all..

  • Parents opt kids out of school laptops, ask for pen-and-paper

  • There's a big difference between "hey kids, use this machine, it has Internet access and Brand products" and "hey kids, ask me anything you'd like, and I'll give you the Brand approved answer."

  • They're putting AI in children's school laptops? Not only teaching them to think less, but letting a corporation directly influence them?

  • It'd be more useful if her one issue was with Trump calling Georgia (the state she represents) for more votes. Republicans are cool with that because it was their side doing it.

  • Is Windows FOSS now?

  • Computer output cannot be copyrighted, don't focus on it being "AI". It's not quite so simple, there's some nuance about how much human input is required. We'll likely see something about that at some point in court. The frustrating thing is that a lot of this boils down to just speculation until it goes to court.

  • Is Windows FOSS now?

    Jump

  • This is why CC0 should not be used for code. Its public license fallback explicitly does not give patent rights. Compare that to MIT which implicitly does by saying you can use the software however you want. CC0 literally has this clause in the public license fallback.

    No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned, surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.

  • Is Windows FOSS now?

  • Yeah, a lot of copyright law in the US is extremely forgiving towards creators making mistakes. For example, you can only file for damages after you register the copyright, but you can register after the damages. So like if I made a book, someone stole it and starting selling copies, I could register for a copyright afterwards. Which honestly is for the best. Everything you make inherently has copyright. This comment, once I click send, will be copyrighted. It would just senselessly create extra work for the government and small creators if everything needed to be registered to get the protections.

    Edit: As an example of this, this is why many websites in their terms of use have something like "you give us the right to display your work" because, in some sense, they don't have the right to do that unless you give them the right. Because you have a copyright on it. Displaying work over the web is a form of distribution.

  • Discord Alternatives, Ranked

    Jump

  • I've said this a lot in different places and the Lemmy community is so small folks might even recognize me repeating myself, but I'll say it again here. The problem with recommending a good Discord alternative is that Discord is different things for different people. For some it's streaming. For some it's video calls. For some it's voice calls. For some it's DMs. For some it's group servers. For some the image and video sharing is an important aspect. It's hard to recommend a good alternative because you'll always inevitably run into the problem of someone saying "but it doesn't do the thing I use it for." The reality is that folks might need to use multiple apps to meet their needs if they migrate.

    If you'd skimmed the article you would've seen they they suggested Discourse which the author openly admits is a forum, not a chat app. But hey, that's what some folks use Discord as.
