There's also Flare fwiw:

MicroOS (and its flavors) update the same way Android does; as a full image

They don't. They update with regular packages. The updates are atomic though and are only applied at next boot, so there's less of a risk of weird breakages.

I guess that depends. If the costs to invest in storage is cheaper long term than losing money from excess energy, then energy companies would lose less money and thus could offer cheaper prices. But it would definitely help decrease or get rid of negative prices.

In isolation, it's very obviously a bad thing, because it makes solar less profitable and might slow down the switch to renewables.

In a wider context, it can still be seen as a god thing as it means there has been a significant pivot to solar already and luckily it's also a very solvable problem. There just needs to be more energy storage.

up to 60 km/h, only on Autobahn

Huh, how does that go together? Aren't you supposed to go at least 80 or something on an autobahn?

Which is at least less than all the other big platforms are taking.

Or maybe the original post was simply muted for a different reason.

I don't think there the "one" model for financial sustainability on the fediverse. Many Mastodon instances already have Patreons etc, some require payment to make an account. So many of these things are fairly established already and can be accomplished in a low tech way without the software having to implement any special features for it.

I thought China denied that there are any Chinese "police" stations in Europe?

They deny all sorts of things:

"They only "earn" that monopoly because ostensibly they have been authorized democratically by the people."

Well, that might be the social framework fir a democracy. But we are talking about Hungary here.

That's nice. My first attempt at getting the codeberg repo running failed, but I also didn't try to look too hard into it. Think I will be trying this next in an Ubuntu distrobox container

You hinged your entire position on theirs.

I did what? That was my first post in this entire thread.

Yes, the idiotic fallacy of giving greater weight to the opinion of an authority at the subject being discussed. It is no match to the logical chad move of giving weight to the opinion of a random internet commentator who claims something is nonsense without giving any reason or explanation why.

The law does make sense, if you put it into practice. In practice the dry weight amounts will probably just be checked on the street. Checking your home will require a warrant which isn't easy to come by, so they're not gonna bother about cases where it might be three or four plants or this or that many grams.

Well, who's gonna pay for your medical care when you inevitably develop drug problems/health issues. So in a socialized healthcare system, you are harming others with it.

(And not offering treatment or making the patient pay for it which they often won't be able to, would be very inhumane imo)

I don’t know if reader mode is available on the android in-app browser as I don’t use android

It is.

Personally, I would suggest antiX Linux. It is well known that the antiX name is supposed to stand for "anti politiX"

There's also been huge waves of spam account attacks on Mastodon recently.

Was'n Quatsch!

Das sind dann die 18-jährigen, zukünftigen KI-Millionäre.

Wie süß. Der denkt, er würde in Zukunft noch mit irgendwem koalieren, statt unter der 5%-Hürde zu versauern.

Indigenous groups have always fairly reliably voted KMT. The DPP tends to have much more progressive policies and portray themselves as more concerned about the indigenous struggle. But the KMT being the direct successor of the authoritarian government that ruled Taiwan for decades tends to have much deeper local structures and have thus been present in indigenous territories much more/for much longer.

(Also portraying the parties as Chinese or Taiwanese nationalists probably is a bit strong, as they've both moved towards more moderate, pro-status quo positions, although from different ends of the spectrum)

Okay, die Studie hat das mit dem bisher detailreichsten Modell an einem Supercomputer über sechs Monate durchrechnen lassen und ist zu dem entsprechenden Schluss gekommen.

Du beziehst dich mit deinem "stimmt so nicht" auf was oder wen jetzt genau?

https://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2024/02/new-study-suggests-the-atlantic-overturning-circulation-amoc-is-on-tipping-course/

Korrekterweise muss man natürlich anfügen, dass die Wärmungseffekte durch den Klimawander in dem Modell nicht einberechnet sind. Aber wenn man sich anschaut, dass die Temperaturverringerungen für weite Teile Europas prognostiziert im zweistelligen Bereich liegen, ist das nun wirklich Makulatur.

Hast aber Recht, dass sich das am südlichen Ende Europas vielleicht gerade so ausgleicht.

Überhaupt nicht. Der Artikel verlinkt auf die originale Studie, zitiert ausführlich einen der Hauptautoren und unbeteiligte Wissenschaftler und Experten in dem Feld und erklärt die zugrunde liegenden Phänomene recht verständlich. In Sachen Wissenschaftskommunikation ist das schon recht vernünftig. Würde ernsthaft gerne mal wissen, was du hier auszusetzen hast.

My judgement is that he's still kinda bad, but also probably the best president the US had in decades.

Wenn du tatsächlich konstruktiv sein möchtest, könntest du jetzt auch erklären, wo hier die Vereinfachung ist und was genau daran falsch ist. In der jetzigen Form unterscheidet sich dein Post auch nicht wirklich von einem wahllosen Buhruf aus der zweiten Reihe.

Nobody is surprised. The FDP knows exactly what they're doing, which is make as much politics blatantly in favour of their donors as long as they're in power. They don't care about what that does to the general populace or even how they're perceived for it. One or two elections later everyone will have basically forgotten about it again anyway and the whole shtick repeats.

"Weather chaos" is one hell of a euphemism.

Not inherently. But since both Mastodon and Bluesky use some sort of public protocol, it is possible that people will develop some bridging software that allows both protocols to talk to each other. I think some people are already trying to build something like that, but I have no idea how well it will work/what the trade-offs will be. Maybe not every feature can be easily translated between the protocols.

But they're (allegedly soon) federated and say they want to give control of the protocol over to an independent standards body. So like, half of the stuff you're saying might not even really apply here.

I'm curious what lesson learned from twitter easily also applies to bluesky, as that's genuinely not very clear to me.

Für die Zwischenzeit kannst du dir, neben dicken Decken, auch überlegen, dir eine Elektroheizung zu besorgen. Die verbraucht aber natürlich auch viel Strom, was ziemlich teuer werden kann.

But with AI while it still has problematic aspects, it also has a lot of useful applications.

Ah yes, stealing content en masse and polluting the whole internet with junk content in the hopes of being able to monopolize entire industries. Peak usefulness.

(There are of course many useful applications of AI in general. But they also tend to not burn through as much energy and processing power as LLMs)

Well, other EU countries already sell insect-based food countries.and I'm not sure to what degree they can completely ignore the EU regulations.

Here are some that I enjoyed:

Sind sie das denn? Ist zB jemand, der in einem Nazi-Unfeld aufgewachsen ist und kaum ein anderes Weltbild vermittelt hat, genauso für seine Ansichten verantwortlich, wie jemand, der in einer offeneren Gesellschaft aufgewachsen und trotzdem diese Einstellungen entwickelt hat? Ist es Zufall, dass solche Ansichten in bestimmten gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Verhältnissen eher gedeihen als in anderen?

Natürlich steckt da auch immer ein sehr großer Teil Eigenverantwortung mit drin, aber ich denke tatsächlich, dass man das auf beiden Seiten nicht verabsolutisieren und auch anerkennen sollte, dass das Problem z.T. auch eine strukturelle Komponente hat, die struktureller Lösungen bedarf.

Wäre ja auch irgendwie komisch wenn, Abwanderung mit eingerechnet, es sich nur ganz zufällig sich so begeben hätte, dass in bestimmten Gebieten sich große Anteile alle ganz unabhäbgig von einander und in kompletter Eigenverantwortung für eine Sichtweise entschieden hätten, in anderen aber nicht.

Hobbies seems like a prime cabdidate for splitting up, as that's fairly broad. From what's in there tabletop gaming seems like it would have enough communities already to make a topic.

Technology has a lot of android/apple stuff, so maybe that could be either "Smartphones" or "Operating Systems" but that clashes a bit with Linux/Foss. A separate "Hardware" topic might make sense too.
