Two things come to mind, spotify was always a browser based app on mac/linux/windows, I think that was way more inefficient in the early days of doing apps that way. The other thing is that spotify originally used its users’ computers as cache to serve other users, that might’ve caused some additional load.

It was braindead when MS bought it and kept artificially alive.

GitHub is finally dead.

Is any of that an android feature? It’s mostly hardware, I think you can still get devices that have some combination of those (maybe not the IR blaser).

Who gives a shit about the gold price except for some idiots who think it has some inherent value beyond some applications in electronics.

I would assume that this would lead to a rise in mercury mining instead of cleaning up Mercury contaminations, because that would probably be cheaper. And I don’t think mercury mining is any less toxic than gold mining.

As a RADAR guy I have to say they need RADAR, but I might be biased. I suppose LIDAR would be nice too. There’s something called sensor fusion where you combine the measurements of different sensors, ideally using different technologies to get better measurements.

It is impressive how bad it is.

Looking at the monthly active users on https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats it’s interesting to see that Lemmy gained around 10k new MAUs this year until april and then lost around 10k again since then.

Small scale installations on regular houses are probably not the best for grid forming. Any pv installation with grid forming capability would be required to give some control to the grid operator because it’s their job to keep the grid stable.

That was Fraunhofer IIS not ISE.

Trucks? If you move coal for a power plant using trucks you’re going to need a lot of trucks, you use trains or ships instead, or just build the power plant next to the mine and use conveyor belts.

Coal is unreliable

How? I would’ve said coal is very reliable, it worked for over a hundred years.

It’s also devolving, having less features, being slower/less optimised and so on. Cramming “AI” into it isn’t devolving, it’s enshitification

Yes and no, I don’t have an account but I also don’t use the frontpage because why would I, it’s empty. When you watch a video you still get the recommendations in the sidebar.

That actually sounds like a reasonable response.

If you give the driver enough time to act, which tesla doesn’t. They turn it off a second before impact and then claim it wasn’t in self-driving mode.

Every once in a while my uni has some interesting events (at least based on the description), public announcement sent to everyone, and the last sentence has almost always been some form of “women only”. There is usually no gender neutral equivalents to these events and they’re done in the name of gener equality. So I very much feel excluded by gender equality.

I’m sure it varies from country to country, but in the US women could not study medicine until the late 1800’s

In Germany at the moment around two thirds of medicine students are women and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the similar in most western countries.

Isn’t that how feddit.de died?

Lemmy once had a massive influx of new users, a lot left again and monthly active users has remained somewhat constant for a long time now. Let’s wait and see how many people actually stay on PixelFed.
