A website where you can download paywalled scientific literature. Most scientific literature is paywalled by publishers, and costs a real significant amount to read (like 30-50$ per article if you don't have a subscription).

Scihub basically just pirates it. And has been shut down several times. But as most scientific studies are already laid with public money, scihub isn't that unethical at all.

Sigh...

Authy desktop was extremely useful when my phone broke during an international trip, and getting a new one obviously took some time due to well.. being abroad.

Yeah this sounds more like a distraction so as not to spend a single dollar extra on real measures.

Minder sterk dan in 2022, maar dat jaar daargelaten de sterkste groei ooit deze eeuw. En dat allemaal door immigratie.

1506 partners. Insane.

That has been tried with the DoNotTrack header. Turned out servers didn't oblige by it.

Whether or not it was a plug, at the time of the incident this piece its role was basically that of a portion of fuselage.

Venus is interesting. While the surface is extremely hostile, the upper atmosphere is maybe the most similar to Earth-like environment out there in the solar system. At about 50km up in the air, the air pressure is about 1 Earth atmosphere, and the ambient temperature is about 20C. A 80/20% nitrogen-oxygen gas mixture is buoyant too at that depth, so a balloon filled with breathable air will just float. A rupture won't cause explosive decompression like it would on Mars either. In addition, the gravity one would experience is only very slightly less than that of Earth, and the large atmosphere also provides some shielding against radiation.

Mars doesn't have these perks. Mars is cold, really cold, with only 1/3rd of the gravity of Earth, has practically no radiation shielding, and any breach would cause explosive decompression and almost instant unconsciousness. On top of that, regular solar panels really don't work that well on Mars because of the extra distance from the Sun, while solar panels would actually work better in the upper atmosphere of Venus.

And the rest of the world will say the same with respect to American spyware.

Concurrent is not the same as parallel.

This is damn great.

Insanely vile.

Appelbeignets met bierbeslag.

Martin Shkreli, now that's a name I would never associate with even anything remotely positive. Not someone you want as a "supporter" usually.

Even if you ignore the latter half of 2023 there is a huge and consistent decline in number of posts per day.

Backlash. \ls would get you regular ls. Note that ls already is aliased on some popular distros with some common flags.

Something I did to someone who needed to know the effects of not locking ones screen when away: alias ls to echo 'Error: file not found'. Took them a good hour to figure out what was wrong with their machine 😅

Dd is known as disk destroyer for a good reason. Very easy to fuck yourself over.

This. While yeah at times it certainly feels a bit empty, Lemmy feels like old Reddit or maybe even the days of Forums before. Interesting, engaged discussions, rather than vapid one-liners that reddit ultimately became.
