    • People in Canada can no longer access news content on Meta's platforms

    Jump

  • An RSS feed is like having someone email you a link everytime they publish something. So you can have a bunch of news outlets all in the same feed (or inbox in the analogy) and have one place for all the content.

    I used to use them for research papers. Everytime a paper was published by a journal I had selected, it showed up in the feed.

  • Yep, looks like duckduckgo still has news!

  • Has anyone tried googling news lately? You won't find any Canadian news. I don't really know how to search across all the sites without google.

    • First U.S. nuclear reactor built from scratch in decades enters commercial operation in Georgia

    Jump

  • This encapsulates the public response to building nuclear. I guess that is why it is the first in decades.

    • China using families as 'hostages' to quash dissent abroad

    Jump

  • It's not from ignorance. It's based on the people I know from China.

  • I mean, if you haven't been there or don't know anyone from there you could pretend they are a democracy, but they are authoritarian like Russia is authoritarian. Long term they will seek a wider swath to be authoritarian over.

  • Yeah, China was a major ally, but it is showing its dark (autocratic) side lately.

    • China using families as 'hostages' to quash dissent abroad

  • I think this flies a bit too far in the other direction. China is totalitarian. It is not a democracy. It is also increasingly antagonizing nations abroad. I think it is valid to consider it a threat if you are any other nation, period.

    Edit: Kinda like Russia

  • I guess you would have to sift the scientific literature to get a general idea. It would be the least biased source. Being totalitarian really helps with nuclear. Just look at what Germany has been up to.

    • eFuels pilot plant in Chile officially opened : wind energy enable the nearly CO2-neutral operation of petrol engines

  • The tech has been known for decades. It just needs clean hydrogen. You can either go the hydrogen fuel cell route, or combine it with CO2 to make liquid fuel, but the source of hydrogen is the crux of the problem.

    • Very great discussion happening on more adoption of LibreOffice in educational and otherwise places.

    Jump

  • Is LibreOffice the dominant Microsoft suite competitor? I used to use OpenOffice, but it was kind of bad.

    • What discontinued feature do you miss from phones or other technologies?

    Jump

  • Is this discontinued? My phone does this.

    • Heat pump sales have never been hotter — and they're putting demand for AC on ice

    Jump

  • Every time the carbon tax goes up, the gap between electric and natural gas closes.

    But heat pumps are much more efficient than electric heating and a much cheaper source of heat.

  • That's true anywhere in the country though. Not a lot of blue rednecks.

  • It sounds like you want to move to Oregon or Washington. They have way better climates than Michigan.
