  • Remember it spawning a bunch of copycats? For a while every community had their own code block. I wrote one for a usenet group i was in at the time.

    alt.sysadmin and alt.sysadmin.recovery both had em iirc...

  • The point is that it's a passive process, not an active one. No need for pumping.

    Water is so much denser than air that you do get more exposure time per unit time.

  • The concentration isn't as important as the difficulty to remove it. It's still a hard problem, but rock weathering is one way to accomplish it, but it would need a lot of exposed rock surface.

  • What's the longest amount of time you spent looking forward to something?

    Jump

  • A bit silly. I picked up the Holy Mightstone quest item on my WoW paladin in like 2005, and decided to save it to use, someday, to get some RP revenge on Arthas. I held on to it until facing him down I'm WotLKs Icecrown Citadel raid, and used it on our first boss attempt. I want to say that was 7 years but I can't be arsed to look it up.

    Immediately wiped, of course, but winning was never the point.

  • Water absorbs a lot of co2 and removing it from the water via weathering is a valid idea.

  • Announcing the Data.gov Archive

    Jump

  • I work for a Canadian university library and I assure you that data archival efforts are proceeding apace. I can't really say more without possibly endangering American colleagues.

  • The /r/piracy link to lemmy /c/piracy hit the reddit frontpage with 7K+ updoots!

  • I've noticed that every different social media medium/site has its own Eternal September moment. I think, optimistically, that we're still before that point. If we get popular and the general population arrives, it'll also attract the predatory ecosystem of state actors and corporate bullshit.

    I think Lemmy and the Fediverse in general is resistant to that, but not immune. I expect an effort to create One Big Instance that most people use, or an oligarchy of large instances working together, like Microsoft and Gmail and co do with email.

  • Europeans of Lemmy, is American beer really that bad?

    Jump

  • The American beer you get in Canada is terrible. Budweiser and Miller and shit like that. American beer at an American pub was great, when I last visited.

  • It helps that he puts references to previous comics at the bottom of each. A few rabbitholes down the archives and you might find it funny!

  • Sluggy is still going! It's a bit weird with convoluted lore though.

  • How do you feel about your content getting scraped by AI models?

    Jump

  • I'm okay with it as long as it's not locked to the exclusive use of one entity.
