Betavolt's miniature battery could spell the end of smartphone chargers

Jump

  • Sounds very similar to the old Soviet pacemakers with radioisotope batteries. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, records about them got lost and so a bunch of people have been buried with pretty radioactive stuff in their chest. I don't think we (as developed societies) are going to take that risk for some phone batteries...

    • Do you think Lemmy is hurt by having too many dead/low-PPM communities?

    Jump

  • Yes, I think so but only indirectly. Distinguishing between the "same" community on different instances or rather identifying the more active one is already pretty hard, the only thing one can really go by is the number of users who have joined. The large number of abandoned copycat communities on 3+ servers doesn't make this easier since a lot of these have a bunch of users but are dead.

    A technical solution could be some kind of "hotness" score for instances to identify the interesting/active ones.

    • Is it safe to use pans with peeling nonstick coating?

  • Thank you for reading the source, the amount of FUD in this thread is crazy.

    • Tamimi: 'We will drink your blood; what Hitler did to you was a joke'

    Jump

  • Easier explanation: She didn't post it, it's an obvious fake designed to put her in jail.

    • Tamimi: 'We will drink your blood; what Hitler did to you was a joke'

    Jump

  • Crazy that people here immediately believe its her that posted this when the Jerusalem Post reports it. It's a random account in her name with a widely available picture, it not hers

    • White House under growing pressure as Democrats demand Gaza ceasefire

    Jump

  • How is that relevant? Especially considering Reagan stopped the shelling of Beirut in 1982 and the Beirut barracks bombing happened in 1983?

    • Open hatred of Jews surges globally, inflamed by Gaza war

    Jump

  • Yes, but it's only consistent to reject that false framing and clearly delineate between supporters and opponents of Israel. Everything else just serves Israel by mudding the water.

    • I too am now the proud owner of an IBM Model M.

    Jump

  • I happened upon two of these in much the same way, one of them unfortunately doesn't work but the other one has been my home office keyboard (too loud for the office) for many years. I've always wanted to fix the broken one by swapping in a modern controller, maybe even make it wireless (because that would be truly absurd).

    • Rescuers recover more than 260 bodies at music festival attacked by Hamas

    Jump

  • Worldnews was always really bad on reddit, I was also surprised to see that true for lemmy too. Lots of different world views and biases I guess.

    • Rescuers recover more than 260 bodies at music festival attacked by Hamas

    Jump

  • So far the Israeli government under Netanyahu has mostly done things to strengthen Hamas, a more radical and violent (but controlled by the vastly stronger Israeli military, or so they thought) group in power in Gaza was deemed beneficial since it prevents the formation of "reasonable", anti-violent advocates for Palestinian liberation. Didn't really work out that well I guess.

    • Just needs a little more NaCl.

    Jump

  • Thank you for reposting! Sounds like a real piece of shit, this guy.

    • Is there a title (Mr/Ms/Mrs) that is gender neutral?

    Jump

    • Pornhub’s parent company is changing its name to total nonsense

    Jump

  • great tech

    That's not what the glassdoor.com reviews say, at least last time I checked a bunch of employees complained about a horrendously out-of-date PHP stack.

    • When you notice Lemmy is quieter than usual, then have a look at the Lemmy.world status

    Jump

  • Man, I'm happy I'm not the only one who feels like this. I had such a good time in the chapotraphouse sub and never forgave reddit for banning it. None of the offspring from there could really capture what made this sub special, the hexbear thing certainly can't.

    • feature request: instance communities

    Jump

  • Thank you for the well thought out reply! I understand now that its not the way Lemmy devs envision this particular part of the fediverse to develop. It doesn't completely agree with what I see in the current federation landscape though: Most communities cluster around shared interest, be they language, nsfw vs non-nsfw or ideology. Following that, there is a clustering effect regarding the communities on each instance: If I find an instance with a community I care about I'm pretty likely to be interested in the other communities on there too. My guess is: A popular app will implement this feature and it will become mandatory for everyone else who wants downloads. But I get the "idiomatic" argument and understand why Jerboa devs are unlikely to want this feature.

    • feature request: instance communities

    Jump

  • Are you sure you're talking about the same thing as the OP? The feature request (which I wholeheartedly support) is just listing the communities of a specific instance, something that's hopefully quite forward (since you'll just have to ask an instance which communities it knows, no central directory required).

    • White chocolate is better than dark chocolate and i'm tired of pretending it's not

    Jump

  • IIRC, this "accident" is simply because chocolate producers figured out it's cheaper to make the milk slightly taste like vomit (something the Americans apparently didn't mind too much) than cooling it properly. I think nowadays that wouldn't really fly but back then cheaper chocolate was maybe so desirable that consumers didn't mind the weird taste.
