  • In F1 the hybrid electric system is ment to augment the ICE

    Yes, you just explained what a hybrid system is. We already understood this.

    The formula E cars have less range, lower top speed, and weigh almost 300kg more.

    That's not true.

    Formula E Gen3 Evo: Minimum weight (incl. driver and battery): 856kg (Source)

    Formula 1 2025: Minimum weight WITHOUT driver and fuel: 800kg (Source)

    It’s not a conspiracy

    The lie is that the hybrid system in its current form is what makes F1 cars heavy. That's factually not the case. It's 20kg out of 800kg.

    The most weight in FE comes from spec parts which are not at the forefront of current technology. Cost is also a major factor.

    Also, whether your 100% wrong claims about how much FE and F1 cars weigh are "conspiracy" is depending on if you are merely misinformed or lying on purpose. I make no judgement which of the two is the case.

  • Thanks for the clarification. Let me also clarify that the USA are within that 40% where honey bees are not native to and brought there by Europeans.

    Were the cause not pesticides that kill all insects including native species, a decline of that invasive one would have been good news.

  • I see the attraction of moving back to simple, light engines

    Of the big lies the competitors to electric propulsion successfully spread is that hybrid is what's making the engines heavy. It's not. In F1 the ICE is over 100kg without the energy store (=fuel) whereas is hybrid unit is 20kg including energy (=battery).

    a lot of noise that fans enjoy

    If fans actually enjoyed the noise so much, why are so few people caring about LMP2? I think that's a loud minority. Actual motorsport fans care about the on-track competition more than the propulsion technology.

    Of the overall F1 fan base, only a small minority ever attended an F1 race. The engine noise most encounter is the result of the broadcast audio mix.

  • Are they saying third-parties don’t even have devkits yet? That’s a bizarre way to do a launch plan.

    The console will be out of stock for at least 6 months anyway.

  • FYI: Honey bees are an invasive species everywhere but Eurasia and Africa

  • According to their privacy policy there is no telemetry: 1.1. No Telemetry. We do not collect any telemetry data.

    According to https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/issues/5947#issuecomment-2737211334 one of the issues is that Mozilla's telemetry remains enabled which (if happening in secret) is bad and also dumb because Mozilla can't even use telemetry of a very different browser.

  • This is a benefit for Bluesky who do not want to be responsible for moderating their platform.

    At least in Germany there is a mandatory German filter list that seems to be maintained by Bluesky themselves. They couldn't legally operate here if they allowed holocaust denial and such.

  • ActivityPub already existed when they started BlueSky. They chose to not make their protocol compatible.

    Traditionally, that's what new major version numbers are for. IF (and I stress the "if" because I have no clue about protocol design) it turns out that AT has useful features, a merger of ideas of both ActivityPub and AT could lead to ActivityPub 2.0.

    That would be somewhat similar to AMD's proprietary Mantle leading to Vulkan (which was originally intended to launch as OpenGL 5.0).

  • Yuki Tsunoda, the one outqualified by Isaac Hadjar today?

  • They just closed the issue without even acknowledging it, lol

    They acknowledged the remote debugging backdoor issue and fixed it a year ago.

    It was enabled due that zen was still a toy project and we needed people to easily open the debugger for easier bug fixing. This was due because zen was not in a daily drivable state and didn't gain any sort of popularity yet.

    https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/pull/927

    The telemetry issue is entirely different. Their handling of that is naive at best, dishonest at worst but it is completely different from the "backdoor".

  • The "backdoor" mentioned in a single reply is very different from the telemetry issue. https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/pull/927 was fixed a year ago.

    I agree the telemetry should be either disabled or at the very least users should just get a config tab on first launch to opt out but the Lemmy submission is misleading and bordering on fake news.

  • Musk is helping Meta through "at least Zuckerberg isn't Musk" aura.

  • Nouveau is supported by Red Hat and even that's not a suitable replacement for proprietary NVidia drivers and that's only the GPU part. An entire computer platform is an even bigger task, so unless Apple starts releasing some source code under a usable license, the project will always play catchup.

  • Can I get a free deportation out of here?

    No, you need to buy your own ticket like the French scientist had to. The flight back isn't free either unless they insured the travel for such conditions.

  • Wow. What happened to the love for the constitution?

    AFAIK the constitution doesn't apply here. I can't remember who or even when it was but there was a musician or actor who once said in a TV interview that they consumed pot in the past and then were turned back to where they came. See also https://www.usentrywaiverlaw.ca/marijuana-tourism.php

    Basically: The US has been hostile not only to migrants but mere tourists since quite some time (at the very least since 9/11), even under Democratic administration. On entry, don't admit to anything and wipe your phone (restore a cloud backup after successful entry). Or even better, don't go to that shithole country that treats people who fund the tourism industry like criminals. If they don't treat you like they want your tourist money, they shouldn't get that money in the first place.

  • I just wanna run fedora on an M4 already

    Don't count on it. According to their website not even M3 is supported.

  • I don't think so. Cannot remember that it did. Fog did though.

  • The tech sounds useful to bridge cell towers in rural areas among each other to skip satellites and laying cables.

    Back when I was still in university, dormatories' internet was established using a similar tech to the main campus. It was great, except on snowy days. Then there was just no internet at all.
