will be scaling it up over the next 10 to 20 years.
Over the next 100 to 200 years. FTFY
The ITER construction site was decided roughly 20 years ago, and the construction will take another 10 years. Beside the cost (and with the economic context, government tend to cut down research spending) the machine are huge and the technology is complex. A while ago, I've seen an ITER project manager showing the research toward fusion, and basically it goes up to the start of the 22th century before starting mass production of commercial fusion reactors.
At the moment, both public projects and some start-up are far from a stable exo energetic plasma (both have been achieved separately) let alone the whole energy extraction. Public project have steady but low budget, at the moment there is some money for start-up (But if you ask for public money government will tell that there is no money). However, there is a significant probability that these start-up will bend early toward another technology. High temperature supra-conductors could be a game changer for medical imaging and particle therapy for example.
Doesn't have a single owner. It's a free software, build around a free-protocol. If at a moment, some developpers do not agree with Lemmy's main-dev, they're absolutely free to create a Memmy platform based on lemmy with their feature enabled. Just like at a point Libre office split from open office. Even better, Kbin/Mbin runs a fully different code-base and is still (fully) compatible with Lemmy. It's the magic of free software.
With instance I know, you don't give a commercial licence to re-use your content like you do on reddit. For example, Lemmy.world team cannot sell your comments to train an AI, or re-use the photo you post te sell T-shirt. On reddit (but also meta, tik tok and others) they'll do.
Have you noticed that you don't find these big GDPR cookies/tracker consent form ? Well, when you don't sell your user data to ads company, and don't put tons of trackers, GDPR compliance isn't complicated. Look at your instance privacy policy for LW it's there and compare it with reddit term of use it's crazy what we accept on reddit.
That said, please note that privacy friendly instances run because some people pay for it, if you like it, and can afford-it feel free to make a donation to your instances or the main developper.
At the moment it's a relatively small community, and you'll see the same nick-names everywhere, which means that in general the communities are nice and well behaved. There is a couple of instances which want to put politics everywhere and are annoying, but it's the exception not the norm.
Federation and fediverse works. From Lemmy, I've interacted with persons on Mastodon, have seen some of my Lemmy comments being retooted in Mastodon, have seen Mastodon/Firefish user posting on lemmy from their account there. And of course, you can exchange with people using lemmy on different instance.
I assume you know you're joking, But actually the main asset that let us our specie survive is our ability to run for long where we beat most other animals. Tons of average persons run marathon for fun. Try to bring your dog running and you'll see that you're best friend will get tired before you.
We don't have nice claws, we don't even run that fast. But we're one of the few animals able to run for hours and hours. Which mean that we could hunt by exhausting our target, and harvest fruits/vegetable over a long distance.
A (modern) ballistic missile is basically a rocket carrying a few nuclear warhead to space and then falling from space back to earth, and very high speed while splitting the warhead on the way down to hit several targets (while some of these warhead may-be dummy). And this let alone all the fancy hypersonic ballistic missile which are steered by "bouncing atop the upper atmosphere* making them less predictible while travelling even faster.
So basically, we won't know the exact target before the last moments of the flight, letting may-be a few minutes to the inhabitant to hide.
Regarding "anti missile defence" I assume that the people who knows the details won't post about-it on lemmy. What you need to remember is that even if you catch 80% of the missile falling (let's be optimistic), it will still do a lot of damage.
To take French arsenal, according to Wikipedia, a Triomphant class submarine can carry 16 M51 ballistic missile, each of them carrying 6 warhead. A submarine emptying it's whole load on a hostile country would shoot like 100 warheads. Assuming that air-defence can intercept 80% of them, it's 20 nuke exploding. I can't think about any country which would resist to getting 20 cities wiped out of the map.
Donxc forget the other issues on supermarket chain. Which are also an oligopoly.
One of the reason why european farmer are getting angry is that they are pushed to sell at low prices by supermarket purchasing departments and see the price of their products multiplied by 10 when sold to the consumer.
Not consuming highly processed food from Nestle is doable. Not buying anything at the supermarket gets complicated unless you have money and time (and I wouldn't be surprised that many neighbourhood and organic shop still buy food through the large supermarket purchasing chain)
The main interest of the moon position is that it's a bright object, everybody knows. No need any specific knowledge. Now that while you had this conversion the moon moved a lot, so expect that so many hour have passed. It's rough but sufficient
Quick reminder that player shall be encouraged to use creative way to avoid combat.
Fast talk, charm and even money are valid way to get rid of ennemy. Stealth and contacts are great way to avoid them
Moon position, it's not as reproducible as the sun, but you can really see the moon moving through the sky.
Light, especially in summer, it starts to get night around 22, is pitch black at midnight around 3-4 you start to guess some light in the sky, at 5 it's not day yet but you can see without a torch, and at 6 it's bright.
Candle and fire-pit aren't objective clock, but still a way to evaluate how much time has passed.
This is one of the case where we can talk about the Jewish/Muslim lobby without being a far-right biggot. People want to defend their religious practice, even if they involve chopping off a piece of kids genitalia
Actually, I am surprised that bing let you draw nazi, I was expecting at best a sad dog at worst a you're violating our policy, next time you'll be banned
My first idea was with zombie-nazi, but didn't got some nice stuff in SD with also the model not knowing who is who. and was sure bing would tell me that I'm violating their policies good to know that you can go full nazi but if you dare to ask for a kid drinking whisky you're breaking all the rules
Looks like the site was down this morning. Was the migration done earlier ? or just some downtime ?
Good luck for the migration, It's an opportunity to use my alt account on fedia, so not that bad
s that most of the content is focused on D&D/Medieval/High Fantasy that I’m not really interested in.
Which is why we need more contents focusing on other RPG :)
IMO , at the moment, the people on lemmy should focus on keeping a few communities active rather than having thousands of micro communities with 5 posts a year.
Indeed I believe we had one here (that I never followed).
IMO, small specialized communities closing aren't a bad thing. We already lack content on a generic rpg community like !rpg@ttrpg.network (Make me think i want to post a few "discussions" there). So if the shadowrun lover start posting there too it'll be a bit more alive.
A big one when you"re in that plane. In the first case you don't know what happened. In the other you're strapped to a chair, get G load, breathe smoke and know you'll die. It's the case where at least trying to reach an escape hatch gives you something to do during you'r last minutes of life
In a war environment, getting hit by a missile, pretty much the only weapon that will take down an AWAC or similar. Missiles likely won’t give crew time to escape. Plane will be doing some kind of tumble.
But is that an instant death, or is that like 1-2 minutes tumbling in a burning inferno before everything goes black.
At the moment you create intellectual content you have copyright on-it
Many lemmy instance haven't filled the legal term and service parts and the one who did do not include the You grant us a perpetual commercial licence on your content therefore, they don't have to share your content without your consent. A picky lawyer may even argue that you never agreed that your content would be federated (But could also argue that it's implicit when publishing to the federation)
So with my limited understading on copyright, an AI company scrapping lemmy's data would potentially be infringing copyright (well there is an ongoing legal case against open AI so we'll know whether AI training is considered as re-using copyrighted data). That said, I have no doubt that it's occuring. Not only I'd struggle to identify my content in an AI model (Well someone speaking some frenglish while forgetting the plural s and mixing some letters on the keyboard ? Could be a lot of person) but lawyers are expensive, and I have better thing to do with my money.
Judging by the kind of content we have on the fedi, I can't wait to see AI sying stuff eat the rich, Blahaj is so cuuuuuuuuttte ewewewew, There is no OS but GNU and Stallman is the prophet, Capitalism is the problem, we need to re-establish the proletariate dictatorship would at least be fun.
