Zeke Hausfather, a research scientist at Berkeley Earth, warned more records could be broken this year, due to an increase in emissions and El Nino.
Okay, I know this isn’t the point of the article, but this guy’s name is cool as hell and would fit perfectly as the leader of a band of survivors once the climate change apocalypse actually hits.
Now, that said, I would prefer that it didn’t. Every other form of existential dread I can rationalize away, but this feels inexorable.
Hopefully these things aren’t just replaced but one can hope
if you listen closely you can hear the beans coming our way
I’m OOTL and I think I’ll just sit this out.
I’m fully in the loop and it still just makes me think of omg sO teh r4nd0m!! memes from 2005
like, maybe we’ll revisit ragecomics next lol
because we’re taking the internet back to 2003 and that includes omg teh random posts being funny again *holds up spork*
yeah, I had some ones set up like months out, it was always fun getting those random reminders. There’s a similar bot on discord, at least
You can subscribe to kbin “magazines” just like communities from other federated lemmy instances too, so you can view them all through lemmy.world or whichever instance you’re on
Here’s a link to the blocky docs with a little more explanation. The above link looks like it goes to the a docker image posted on the user’s profile… I think? ^I need to get more familiar with docker^
and now they’re advertising stuff like subscription tiers and server shops, which makes me feel like they’re using a completely different service than I am
well, they hired thousands of devs in the last few years, only to direct their efforts to self-hosting videos, chat features, customizable snoo avatars you can sell NFTs for, etc. (you know, things people wanted)
so I can understand the loss potentially growing in recent years, given what they’ve been spending on
largest tech community in the fediverse
TIL. I assumed between lemmy.world, programming.dev, infosec.pub I’d had my tech feed basically covered
the biggest thing to me, in terms of server load, is that reddit does not need to host videos/images. It’s a link aggregate.
I’m only a layman in this particular field, but I imagine it’s a lot lighter on resources to direct people to sites streaming video than to host and serve it all yourself.
oh, that’s really neat. thanks for the link!
yeah, agreed, I’d love something like that for the fediverse. Honestly, it feels like accessing various communities from different instances would actually feel more natural with it all being fed through the terminal for some reason.
Sorry, not an answer to your question, but what’s rtv?
Yeah, it’s the only issue I have with it. good thing federation means I don’t have to actually go there to see the content haha
3 is the biggest thing about pivoting more towards Lemmy / traditional forums for me. It’s been really nice feeling like I’m not drowning in a sea of trite idiocy and unempathetic rage every time I open a comment section. It’s genuinely refreshing to feel like I’m actually engaging with normal people again.
I just use both now, honestly. I don’t really use the big subreddits because the users and quality of conversation feel like they’re actively making me dumber… but there are smaller niche communities that don’t really have a viable non-reddit alternative yet, and I’m not willing to let one greedy man force me to give up on a part of my life that I really enjoy.
