Celsius temperature are often given in steps of 0.5. for temperature records in summer the news report it down to an accuracy of 0.1

Lemmy seems to be the old nerdy internet of the 90s, prior to the enshittification

It seems that when a dictator’s interests differ from his countries interests, the entire country becomes foreign to him

Isn’t cheap land good for anything that involves land use?

We have the north sea, quite windy and shallow enough to build tall wind Mills.

Currently the power rating is up to 10 MW and the blades are over 100m (300ft) long.

I agree

I didn’t say density is the paramount parameter. Also, once you optimize one drawback, it generally gets less important.

I just wanted to put the image into context, and show that it isn’t a big step backwards, just sideways perhaps. Or in other words, a sigle wind farm isn’t relevant, the sum is

It’s about density. Renewables Are great, but not on terms of value add per square foot. The coal under the wind mill is worth orders of magnitude more than the windmill.

And, it’s not as bad as it sounds. In general, the number of windmills keeps increasing.

I’m absolutely not surprised.

Them and chemicals in general.

federation with other previously unfederated instances full of comments. just a guess.

I do understand. But is lemmy so different from reddit? In each case the content is done by the users anyway, and subreddits come and go all of the time. One could argue that Facebooks aquisition of WhatsApp is the same kind of change, as switching out the reddit backend of Sync with a lemmy backend.

I wish they had just updated the old App.

Cross-Posts don’t show.

The thing is, America is culturally really influenctial. Here in Germany we have a wide variety of jobs that typically pay minimum wage. Some are service related, others aren’t. It’s roughly 20% of the workforce.

But we listen to american podcasts, watch your movies, your series and so on.

So waiters tend to get minimum wage + tax free tips, while cashiers just get minimum wage. Granted, tips are more like 10% here. I hate tips being an expectation.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

Operating nodes is expensive, offers no reward, and comes with a serious legal risk.

This won’t stop the NSA from operating a few. I assume that a significant portion of Tor nodes is run by intelligence agencies. If they control all nodes used for a connection(i believe three are used), they can probably piece together what connections a user is having.

I’m under the impression that my use will only make it slower for people who really need it.

Our exchange here is public, a gift to humanity and all aliens that might stumble upon it. If meta can make money from it, so be it. But anyone else can just as well.

There are some American news sites that don’t serve to European users for that reason. Instead, we get a screan that explains that GDPR is too much for them to handle.

It can be circumvented with a VPN, but I haven’t bothered so far

If it’s a bad decision, the fediverse will move on without fragile instances like beehaw. If it’s a good decision, beehaw will be even better from now on.

Just wait and see. The invisible hand of the free market will set things right!

Exactly.
