  • Injuries at different ages [Extra Fabulous Comics]

    Jump

  • Partially so, but a lot of adult pain is due to bad posture, and weak muscles from lack of exercise. (Weak muscles don't directly result in pain, but it does mean that stuff like "looking in the mailbox weird", or sneezing, or lifting something off the floor can result in stuff going wrong.)

  • What the hell Proton!

  • SSD capacity could quadruple by 2029 — 8Tb NAND will bring big and affordable SSDs to the market

  • nar. HDDs don't require power to maintain their state. So that's an advantage they'll always have over SSDs, which means there will be use-cases where HDDs are the better choice.

  • That's true, Mozilla's vision of ads is much better than Google's. But is there any reasons it will be one or the other? Is there any reason to believe that Mozilla's ads will displace Google's ads? Or are we just going to end up with more ads: Google's very bad ads plus Mozilla's less bad ads.

    [edit] Just to be clear - I don't want to sound any Mozilla. Mozilla hasn't actually acted on this yet. Firefox is still good right now, and will continue to be good at least in the short term. It's just that Mozilla have stated their intention to work on making ad systems. So when that actually happens, it will be bad.

  • I sure hope so. I've been on team Mozilla for a long time, but right at this critical moment they are starting to wobble. Their CEO seems to be steering them in a direction that I don't agree with.

    (I still believe Firefox is the best option right now; but I'm a little concerned for the future.)

  • OpenAI is now valued at $157 billion

    Jump

  • The name use to be closer to the truth, but then money corrupted it - as it always does.

  • Every tech company

    Jump

  • Nar, I don't think that's quite right. I reckon it's more like nice looking cubicles (with normal walls) but also lots of cameras from all different angles.

  • I'm not sure why you're saying its clocks that are wrong rather than the other stuff. Currently we have x = r cos(𝜃) and y = r sin(𝜃), and that's what makes anti-clockwise rotations mathematically natural. But if we instead just used x = r sin(𝜃) and y = r cos(𝜃) then clockwise would be the natural positive rotation. And in that case, the unit circle would start at the top and go around clockwise... like we do for compass bearing (and clocks of course). So perhaps that would be better than changing what clocks do.

  • Free food, but confined to a tiny unchanging living space where your entire purpose is to be observed by others; vs no free food, but more person freedom. Which do you think is better?

  • Probably misinformation. I didn't think Proton was even around in 1896!

  • Brazilian court orders suspension of Elon Musk’s X after it missed deadline

    Jump

  • There is some misleading information in there. Probably better to just get straight to the point with the 'standard' https://joinmastodon.org/ link.

  • Climate scientists flee Twitter [to Mastodon] as hostility surges

    Jump

  • I'm mean life on Earth, obviously. No one is saying that the planet is going to explode or disappear or anything like that. We're talking about the climate, and life that depends on that climate.

    And before you start coming at me with some "but but such and such life will still..." I'll clarify again that there is a matter of scale here. A very large number of species that have been around for a very long time will soon be extinct (many have been lost already). So although we might still have mosquitos and jelly-fish for a long time to come, a lot of the complex life that is currently enjoying a comfortable and otherwise-sustainable life on Earth will no longer be able to do so; because of us. That's what I'm referring to.

    Yes, humans have does this to 'ourselves', but we are nowhere near the worst effected life in this situation. In fact, most of the ill effects on humans are just knock-on effects from other life failing. (In particular, reduced capacity to grow food is likely to be a problem for humans.)

  • Climate scientists flee Twitter [to Mastodon] as hostility surges

    Jump

  • Yeah. I've been mourning the loss of Earth's future for some time now. It's very sad.

    That said, we are not in a simple binary fucked vs fine situation. It's a sliding scale. So even though things are very bad, we can always still take action to make them less bad. That is never not an option.

  • Hey man, you're currently posting on lemmy - and bringing up linux totally out of context. Perhaps the problem is not 'other people'.

  • Relationships

    Jump

  • Their relationship seems healthy enough, doesn't it? They enjoy each others company, and they treat each other well. So is this unhealthy fear of commitment? Or is it explicit acceptance of uncertainty?

  • GrapheneOS, a privacy-focused version of Android, is adding Android Auto support

    Jump

  • To me it is super weird that GrapheneOS positions itself as a way to degoogle - but it is only supported on google's Pixel hardware.

  • Microsoft will let users uninstall Edge, Bing, and disable ads on Windows 11 as it complies with the Digital Markets Act

    Jump

  • So apparently having consumer-friendly laws does in fact lead to better products. Cool.

    Perhaps the USA and other countries should follow the EU's good example on this.
