Yes screens on fridges are stupid but… The display will definitely last more than 5 years. I’d even go so far as to say that it will last longer than the compressor of the fridge. Where do people get the idea that displays fail very easily?

Unfortunately lots of affordable projectors are also “smart” these days, running some kind of Android TV

Those Zionist boots must taste reeeeally good…

It’s a badge of honour

This is not just one of those ivory tower papers with their actual applications far away in time and eventually ending up in some obscure industrial process never heard of again in lay circles; this could have an immediate impact on the maker culture and makerspaces right now and in the near future. The preprint describes the process in a very understandable, digestible manner and provides actual implementation examples, as well as detailed recipes for all of the compounds. If you are even remotely interested in the subject matter, I’d recommend you to try it out for yourself. The “ingredients” are all easily obtainable and handleable. Yes, gallium and indium might be a bit expensive, but it is worth it imo. They literally used consumer kitchen equipment for some of the steps, to demonstrate how this is feasible for tinkerers, makerspaces and prototypes. No expensive machinery required (except for an FFF 3d-printer, of course).

Oh this is wonderful! I strongly recommend reading the preprint, really enjoyable: URL

China could not care one bit less about the genocide in Gaza you stupid tankie, least of all about the Houthis. It is Chinese ships and goods in particular that the operation is protecting. This was just arrogant posturing from China, because they know fully well that the EU will side with Taiwan in the coming war.

I see Bowser doing a Hitler salute. Very interesting tho that so many people associate Nintendo characters with these clouds. Probably due to their unique art style.

But don’t we expect different Ralphs to exist in each of our minds and memories? My Ralph will probably have ceased to exist by tomorrow.

Boring

Would not be so sure about that. Running is our specialty, especially with regard to endurance. A properly trained dog vs. a properly trained marathon runner would probably be an even match.

Had to experience that first hand. I tried to get my best friends to register on my Matrix server last September and join a room for our group, and they did, but I rarely see any of them online and I only get responses days later, if at all. One even stopped using it entirely, lol. Ah well, but at least I got a Matrix server out of that that I can use to federate with other like-minded people.

All of this is confusing af

Properly SLAMMED

It doesn’t get more top-shelf than that.

It just isn’t possible, and we should want to dumb down the introduction too much. The Fediverse is not a centralised medium, and to participate in it, its users should understand that, analogous to how you would instruct people before using motor vehicles. Some things are just essential and need to be taught. Not teaching the stuff doesn’t make it disappear. If some people cannot get behind the idea, then either find novel, intuitive ways of conveying it, or just accept that they cannot be a part of the Fediverse.

Many families in Germany face a precarious future, and your dismissal of the concerns of young people will definitely not make them more reasonable when it comes to the election. There are enormous financial challenges for a lot of Germans, and unlike in the U.S., White people are just as much affected as all the others.

Well, you’ve got to climate-proof it. At least try to. Hydroponics, which, if done right, is both more space efficient, less susceptible to disease and environmental hindrances, and requires much less water. Solar power generation loves the sun and the cells will not really care how hot it is (in realistic environments), they will only get more efficient. Go subterranean to a degree, and have your architecture style be inspired by things like Earthships.

Freshwater can be gotten from wells, rain traps or dehumidifiers. If you want animals, you will have to hold them in buildings similar to your own dwelling.

Keep in mind that this advice is for if you expect it to get hot in your area. However, parts of Europe will tend to get colder due to climate change, at least at certain times of the year.

Please don’t call for the destruction of property of total strangers, that’s very disrespectful.

He didn’t even try (in the beginning). Money and early treatment would absolutely have saved his life.

the Apple mastermind eventually came to regret the decision he had made years earlier to reject potentially life-saving surgery in favor of alternative treatments like acupuncture, dietary supplements and juices
