The saddest thing is that with the destruction of the media over the past 20 years, I'm still waiting to hear whether it's actually any good or not.

Probably the-federation.info, which in general is a 11/10 resource.

It's a normal situation when you have big migrations like the reddit migration. Same thing happened on mastodon with the various twitter migrations.

A lot of people migrate thinking they're reaching the promised land, realize they aren't getting what the want from the new platform and go back. It's the nature of bandwagon jumping.

It's just fine. The process of growth is dynamic, and the people who remain are the ones who like the platform.

Absolutely, but at least they made a few games before shutting down the good studios!

kbin's federation is really borderline imo.

I get some but not all posts on lemmy, and it's completely out of the question for lotide.

I don't think anyone expected them to go full EA before going full EA.

It depends.

Up in Canada where I live, we tried that experiment with respect to solar, and it is a failed experiment. You can build a one gigawatt solar farm, and for the most part it's going to be getting a trivial percentage of nameplate capacity basically all the time. Check the ieso and you'll see that fact manifest. Wind does ok, hydroelectric works great, solar doesn't make any sense in places without much sun.

NIMBYism was really useful for stopping bad projects, but it doesn't stop just because suddenly they're good projects. Industrial scale power production and distribution is ugly.

It fails to easily open from an instance that has never seen those communities before. You have to connect to them using the search then it pulls the post history (but not the comment history)

Daggerfall. Once you've played that everything else has the volume turned down.

And on gog there's a version for free that comes with a highly modded daggerfall unity that looks and plays much more like a modern game.

Can confirm. Sauce: Posting from my instance, it was down yesterday.

Don't write comments for someone else. Write comments for yourself because you might write a million lines of code and then be told you need to do something to this now ancient legacy code at 3am because some nightmare scenario happens and you need to get it fixed and deployed before they'll let you go back to sleep.

Honestly, I've been considering minetest the real successor to minecraft. It's just really decent, and it doesn't have all the risks of minecraft being controlled by someone else including opening the game being gatekept by their centralized servers.

Why would anyone want to change from BASIC?

It's likely that the range is right on point... if you're driving in a way nobody actually drives.

I expect there to be a lot of asterisks next to any EV's range.

Once, I was watching a presentation on some electric off-road vehicles. Big hulking things. They were bragging about their 120 kilometer range. I was looking at them sideways because you can't just say a number like that.

Sure enough, if you take the off-road vehicles off-road and start driving up hills, that 120 kilometers turns into 20 kilometers.

I don't want to look like I'm misrepresenting things here -- you burn more fuel going uphill in an ICE car than you do on level ground as well. The thing with electric is you're getting equivalent range with much less energy by being more efficient, which means you're working with less when you come up against something that chews up your energy.

I wonder what would have occurred afterwards, since DNA degrades pretty much completely in a couple thousand years. Did the cold weather Protect the genetic code, or do these creatures have something to protect their genetic code?

Also makes me think of the oxygen catastrophe and the ice age that followed. Overwhelming majorities of all life died out, but I assume some of what survived has traits like this?

"one of those AMERICAN MADE self driving cars"

Rip the Simpsons

Other than having some empathy that maybe the neighbor has been legitimately trying and failing and the dog just refuses to stop barking and they're stressed out and don't know what to do about it, it's more likely that they're just being pieces of shit as you say.

If you're getting a dog, learn to train your dog and that includes learning how to stop them from barking all night long.

Companies change hands. Governments change parties. People seem to forget that, and they want to hand absolute power over to their buddies in companies or in the government, with no regard for those facts.

Remember what happened here, and know that it can happen again at any time.
