  • Yes, but actually, no. For a ton of projects, Github is an important resource. It is the main collaboration tool through the issue trackers, offers hosting and continuous integration. If it fell of the earth today, a lot of projects would scramble and have a lot of lost (meta)data.

    If they were to announce that they would shut down in three months time, those same projects would scramble as well to migrate - which is also a bit chaotic, but less so.

    And: many projects are switching away right now. I moved mapcomplete to a selfhosted forgejo instance since a few months ('cause I don't trust github no more), Organic Maps moved just now cause they got a (temporary) ban. One of their contributors was apperantly from a US-sanctioned country (more info about them here: https://en.osm.town/@organicmaps@fosstodon.org).

  • The max-boox-pro series had a HDMI-input to have an external eINK-screen and doubled as android laptop. Quite expensive though, and not that useful.

  • When you make a phone call, the antenna's are used 100% for calling and using data is disabled (or at least, it used to be). Android might thus "pretend" that it is still connected.

  • Yeah, but there is no button to remove all of them at once. And the next time you'll visit the site, they'll just get installed again - so I don't think it is very useful to delete them.

  • This is a browser feature called 'service workers' which indeed allows websites to keep a process running for e.g. notifications.and pending updates.

    Can be highly annoying. Visit ‘about:serviceworkers‘ to see the installed ones.

  • This article is about global electricity production, not all energy combined. This is an important nuance, as much energy consumption uses fossil fuels directly, namely cars, many (older) house or industrial processes. Only a small fraction of this is electricity, and in the grander scheme, the "renewable" part is only a fraction: https://ourworldindata.org/energy-production-consumption.

    So, while this is a step in the good direction, it is only a very small one.

    @BlackLaZoR@BlackLaZoR@kbin.run would you mind updating the title to reflect this?

  • Because the northern hemisphere is mostly land mass and the southern hemisphere is mostly ocean. Land heats faster and cools faster than ocean, thus the seasonal effects are more pronounced in the data.

    Same with CO2 patterns which gives a similar yearly 'breathing effect'

  • How can we make sure their privacy claims about search aren't bullshit?

    (I still trust them though, just pointing out it is an equivalent problem)

  • Cool! I love the concept of Mobilizon, but the user experience has bitten me quite often. Gancio looks really nice!

  • Also a great option, but closed source
