Yeah, exactly. If you’re worried about the power draw to host a few hundred KB PDF file, you probably shouldn’t be using Lemmy, because scrolling through your feed probably uses 100x that in energy costs.

You have to remember that the shared hosting or aws, or wherever is going to be cheapest to host a simple website is also going to be very power efficient. Wasting power is just throwing away free money, and if there’s one thing corporations don’t do, it’s throw away free money.

You might enjoy SecScannerQR then. It makes it easier to vet QR codes by giving an option to search for the URL instead of going there directly.

I don’t mind the whole online menu thing. It’s probably an environmental net positive, but it’s bs if they don’t have ANY physical copies for those who can’t or don’t want to for whatever reason.

If they wanted me to install something, though, that’d be a 100% instant nope.

They really did go for the “horror movie about to go very wrong” aesthetic when they made those videos, didn’t they.

Well, you USED to be able to, anyways, but they’ve slowly moved to a less customisable ui. Now you have to use extensions from outside websites to even do simple stuff like have a multi-row tab bar.

Not to mention Firefox seems to break them every year or so.

Also, keep in mind, google has been caught slowing Firefox down in YouTube before. So if you notice any slowness in their services, it’s fair to suspect it might not be Firefox’s fault.

Ahh good, let’s put a bunch of electric heaters into the ocean. This sounds like it’ll help with the ongoing crisis in ocean temperature rise, and certainly won’t have any unforseen consequences.

It seems to not RTFA is a time honoured tradition we’ve carried with us from Slashdot, to reddit, and now to Lemmy.

I recall hearing it was medium-ish nuclear weapon sized, but not wipe out civilisation size. Wherever it’s heading would need to be evacuated.

That was a week ago, though, and I’m sure the size projections will be updated as we get more data.

I like it if it’s really really subtle. Basically the minimum length vibration, which is 2ms on heliboard.

Anything longer, I find annoying.

The company says it’s the thinnest foldable phone at 3.6 millimeters (0.14 inches),

I mean, it better be, otherwise, if its 3x as thick in your pocket, that’s going to be one chonky phone.

3.6 × 3 = 10.8 mm folded. It’s definitely on the thicker side, but not outlandishly so.

Woowwww… double syzygy! What does it mean?!

Sweet syzygy, dude.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Intel’s big snafu with gen 13/14 processors. If the solution was to push a microcode update cuts the voltage to the CPUs, it’s basically a “stealth” nerf. Their spin doctors have been working overtime to frame this as erroneously high voltages that were being “fixed”.

I’d really like to see this graph divided between Intel and AMD.

So when does NetWatch start making the Blackwall?

Did you maybe accidentally reply “UNSUBSCRIBE” to your shark-facts text?

I mean, couldn’t you just use any of a plethora of other uncensored LLMs from huggingface if you want those sorts of answers?

Sure! I’ll repost someone else’s explanation:

Each comment has a score from -1 to 5 (most comments start at 1), and each user has a score from -10 to 50 (start at 0). Any account that is at least a year or two old, has a high enough score, and has a certain amount of recent activity will occasionally get a package of “mod points” that can be used for increasing or decreasing the score of a comment in any thread to which the user hasn’t already posted along with the score of the user who posted the comment. (Site administrators get unlimited mod points.)

Just to add a few minor bits: Comments that reached -1 would appear collapsed by default. When voting, you’d also choose one out of a preset list of reasons (insightful, funny, etc.), and the dominant reason would tag your comment as that.

This right here. If anything, I prefer Slashdot style mod points to upvotes/downvotes as there is an opportunity cost to voting. I find it fosters more interesting and less echo-chambery discussions.

Most of us are probably guilty of this at least on occaaion, but the down vote button isn’t intended to be a disagree button.

Same thing with Taylor Swift tickets I guess? I’d imagine it’s because of negative backlash to charging so much. Instead of people being mad at the scalpers, they’d be mad at the retailers.

I’m personally kind of partial to the lottery method for right to buy, since it cuts down on scalpers.
