The positive connotation of "hack" is still seen today - for example in "lifehack".

No. Cost projections for nuclear already factor in expected reductions in cost from efficiency of experience. They still are too expensive and time-consuming to build to be a sole solution even with that.

There is simply no silver bullet to be had here.

No single thing can stop climate change. Every solution will be required. Nuclear is too expensive and takes too long to build to be a sole solution. There is no "only thing that can stop climate change".

That's what nuclear is for.

Does this use a Reddit -> Lemmy API adapter or proxy or was the API interaction all rewritten from Reddit to Lemmy?

While I respect them for their hardware, they need to up their software game. They've been left in the dust on update lifespan by Samsung and Google. I'm also miffed that they don't have much care for specification accuracy (or at least didn't when I got my US Xperia III).

I imagine the thinking is that if a rebellion has 2/3 support in both houses of Congress, it was probably popular enough to not be disqualifying.

It's using Nightdive's proprietary Kex engine that they made for remastering old games, so sadly no. The original Quake 2 engine (and all of idTech's engines up to 4) remain open source though.

You could just buy one of their products (Pocket, VPN, etc.) and not use it if you want.

I don't recall them being shut down (that would be a drastic step). They were forced to reduce output, though (making the energy more expensive).

That's the downside of nuclear. Cost and build time. Upside is it's reliable and carbon-clean.

That remains to be seen since one dnd isn't licensed at all yet. The possibility is there for them to use a different license for the next SRD, but it given the backlash they got at the beginning of the year, I think it's as likely they continue with Creative Commons on mechanics (which debatably aren't copyrightable in the first place).

Some can, but it's not really an option for planes and semi trucks.

This will vary by distro. Arch for example expects (but doesn't ask) you to reboot quite often since their packages are "bleeding edge" and update the kernel often.

Google and Facebook weren't rebranded. Twitter was.

Well, it may be liquid for use in vehicles.

Hydrogen is still likely to be a big part of vehicles going forward (either by combustion or fuel cell). Toyota's been putting a lot of money into developing it and heavy transit is going to need it since batteries take up too much weight. Infrastructure will be much easier to build when they finally get to market, though. Converting gas stations to hydrogen isn't terribly complicated.

I think the implication was that Threads will not actually federate

It's been stated that Meta intends to federate Threads with Mastodon eventually, so either will ultimately be viable.

It's not easy to advertise the fediverse because the choices easily overwhelm people. Just like email, what needs to happen to thrive is for large providers to appear such that there's like 4 big options to choose from and then the bunch of small options for those that want to look deeper.
