My co-worker has an electric car and lives in an apartment without a charger. Luckily our office has a few chargers and he only needs to charge it once or twice a week. If he really needed it he could charge at a public fast charger somewhere else in town, but he tries to avoid that.

Coming to the US never

If the YouTube interface restricts you skipping during certain parts of the video, an ad blocker can detect that and skip over it anyway. Otherwise, I myself will just skip over the ad.

Not just any vulnerability, the vulnerability that led to the Solarwinds hack.

Keep the case and put a modern PC inside to make it a sleeper PC. Drill speed holes in the side for extra airflow that your computer will desperately need.

From the website:

The truth is that [the] whole project is (most of the time) quite inaccurate and error-prone, and often involves way too little data to really make a judgment, despite my best efforts. It also involves my amateur method of “age-adjusting” the results to be comparable. So this whole project is quite inaccurate and shouldn’t be used for serious conclusions. But if you understand the inaccuracies involved, you still may find it interesting.

5 years ago the courts ruled that Trump could not block Twitter users on first amendment grounds. This same ruling could be used as a foundation to force a future government Fediverse server to federate with any other server and host all their unmoderated comments.

With Twitter, a user could still break the TOS and get banned. With a Fediverse server… Not so much. It’s as free as sending an email to the US government filled with nothing but 2mb of racial profanities.

This post is like catnip for Lemmy users.

You and what army?

Silly question, but are you sure it is not just subtitles being on by default?

Carbon monoxide leak.

Cost of Disposable seems like a logical place to start pushing.

Landfill disposal rates (i.e., tipping fees) have remained exceptionally low in the U.S. relative to many other developed countries. Since tipping fees are typically the largest revenue streams for recycling processing facilities, this has hurt the business case to expand organics recycling infrastructure.

Don’t make it cheap to toss unsold food into the trash. Weigh and tax unsold food from grocery stores to give them a cost incentive to develop better methods of disposing unsold products.

Any authors or books you would recommend in the genre?

I second Monk & Robot. In fact, a lot of Becky Chambers books are good. Too much of the sci-fi genre is doom and gloom nowadays.

To Be Taught, if Fortunate (novellas) - Becky Chambers

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet (trilogy) - Beck Chambers

The Three Body Problem!

I remember having a similar gut reaction to seeing images from Lower Decks. I ultimately enjoyed LD so I am going to give it the benefit of the doubt.

However, 😬.

Get your hands on any old working PC or Laptop and load Linux Mint. Default video player is good enough and it has USB ports. I have had no compatibility issues with remotes.

I agree that the definition of Socialism tends to be a catch-all for leftist policies, especially in the context of US domestic policy. Here is a (nonextensive) list of the “Socialist” policies that the Dutch have that are attractive to me.

• Strong Unions and high Union membership (twice that of the US)

• Government Mandated PTO (20 day minimum)

• Universal healthcare (Private and Public options. US healthcare is just not comparable)

• Realistic minimum wage (scales with age)

US Politicians who support these policies domestically get labeled as a Socialist/Communist/fringe left/extreme left. I am not going to pretend that The Netherlands (or any Nordic country) is perfect or it isn’t capitalist (Amsterdam is home to the oldest stock exchange in the world), but they are a working example of how a democracy with “Socialist” policies can create a country with a high quality of life.
