  • World’s first ‘superfast’ battery offers 400km range from 10 mins charge

    Jump

  • But in my lifetime battery tech has improved tremendously. Even in the last 5 years charge density and speed of recharge has had massive improvements.

  • Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?

    Lemmy.world down, probably following the upgrade. A reminder to move to smaller instances for a better experience

  • Climate records tumble, leaving Earth in uncharted territory - scientists

    Jump

  • I have just read this entire thread and I have two observations.

    1 the "tumble" discussion is unbelievably ironic as the whole public climate discussion has for years been a case of mass distraction IMO.

    2 The other central discussion is dominated by someone , clearly a skeptic, and repeatably described as a troll, and although the basic assumptions taken are just factually wrong the context of the consequences discussed are more insightful that the rebuttals.

    So currently the power and money is dominated by industries that do not want to change and they frustrate attempts to create meaningful global change. What change has occurred has been when money and power wish that change. Political courage will be needed to make things happen with any sort of urgency IMO

    Be honest, do you still use reddit?

    Jump

  • Basically my heart is here now and this is where I come for social media , that does not mean I will not use reddit from time to time , but those times are getting less and less, my main reason to use reddit now is to promote lemmy. To give a better idea I spent probably an hour a day on reddit or two or three visits. Now I have not visited for over a week and recent visits have been a few minutes.

  • [db0] Reddit is a dead site running

    Jump

  • IMO it is like the foundations of the building have been undermined , I do agree with the author , even if reddit looks ok numbers wise the heart and soul has been removed.

  • Advice for a middle-age, moderately pc knowledgeable person to finally switch to or become proficient with Linux?

    Jump

  • Epic post, really good advice, MInt is the way to go IMO as well, the Xfce version is perfect for my needs and really stable, indeed having dabbled with linux for years this is the only version I have used for more than a year, actually just checked and I have been on mint now since 2020 with just the one upgraded installation. I actually duel boot but never actually boot into window for anything other than occasional work needs.

  • Reddit's Traffic is Down 3.36% Month-Over-Month, According to SimilarWeb

    Jump

  • I have just visited reddit for the first time in quite a while , the picture imo is pretty grim for reddit. Dead subs , little actual life , and when you log out the front page is dire. I think that actual content is key here and that is where the crisis for reddit is shown clearly. Talk of the protest not working is just that,talk , in reality reddit has been deeply effected imo

  • Why Defederating from Facebook/Meta is So Important

    Jump

  • My voices say that de-fed is best and I worry that not everyone will perceive the terrible consequences of not doing so. and yay for star trek :-)

    De-federated with corporate instances like Threads or not ?

  • Twitter threatens to sue Meta over Threads app – report

    Jump

  • This is so Elon playbook , send in the lawyers and see what happens. TBH these games are irreverent to normal people, lets de-fed from any corporate instance and just build a better community

  • Why Defederating from Facebook/Meta is So Important

    Jump

  • My gut tells me we should defed all corporate instances as a matter of policy. Our uniqueness is at jeopardy , think of threads like the borg.

  • Theory: the only reason Meta cares about the fediverse / ActivityPub is so that threads isn't labeled a "gatekeeper" under the EU's new "Digital Markets Act"

    Jump

  • I guess IF the fediverse decided universally not to fed and moved the code away from threads adding features say meta did not want, then they would be seen as de-facto gatekeeper again.

  • What is the most decent instance right now? TILvids?

    Jump

  • Decent instance? Not sure that is the right question as all channels on any instance are equally visible. So from a viewer point of view any instance with good uptime and open registrations that you feel confident will have longevity will do.

    If you are uploading than all the above and decent upload quotas are the key imo.

    Activity levels are not really the point I think

    Subscribe to channels to be notified of new videos

    Although you should be able to follow specific platforms via something like mastodon

    Jump

  • I really do not think that they are aiming to join the fediverse , the subscription model really suggests they want your money and have broadcast aspirations. I also think that the offerings are fairly low level atm of course that might change but I doubt it.
