How can I pass all my internet usage through California?

Does it still save in one of the most basic but still GIGANTIC file sizes?

So, i was feeling pretty apocalyptic about this too - until it learned that “micro plastics” include any synthetic fibers like polyester. i mean, of course our clothing lint will get everywhere

I understand the need for nuclear. We HAVE to stop using carbon emitting forms of energy.

But I have never supported nuclear in the United States. Time and time and time again, history shows that corporations will water down the regulations around an industry. To the point of collapse. The problem is, when nuclear goes bad, its REALLY bad.

We can’t even get our fucking TRAINS to their destination without greed derailing them.

how many fucking oil spills have we had because of lax safety? remember the Deepwater Horizon oil spill? that was due to lax safety regulations, all in the name of profit.

Please, tell me:

Why in the flying fuck should I trust the regulations around nuclear energy to hold?

Whatever you say, I’m not going to believe you. Not until the fucking lawyers of the corporations stop writing the laws for the congressmen to sign without reading or understanding.

What the FUCK is going to stop ‘big nuclear’ from re-writing regulations?

I want the regulations around nuclear to be so tight, no capitalist will want to operate under it. I want several rubber bands and a vice around the balls of whoever is running it.

I even think maybe corporations can’t be trusted with it, and all nuclear energy should fall exclusively under the management of the DoD.

So, this would cover screens as well? (that is what apple does (at least in the u.s.) to their laptop screens.)

Reddit went from the 5th most visited website in the world to the 20th. That’s not nothing.

Lemme put on my tin foil hat for a second and say that this degrading of reddit was just in time for it to go public. It could only go up from here.

I can’t predict the future, but I think this whole federating thing is good. The internet and its traffic was too localized. The people don’t want to keep being sold.

Now if we could somehow get everyone that uses a site like this to actually PAY - say - $1 a YEAR, the internet would be better for it.

Economics is not math, its a religion.

reddits on Lemmy

Its going to be hard changing our vernacular

and no. If you know of any, lemme know

I ❤️ this so much. Thank you 😁

Eh, no. Mathematics is an hallucination of ours we are trying to desperately map onto reality. I say this as a mathematician. When you look out into our reality, you know what we see? A curved universe. There is nothing in our reality that is truely STRAIGHT.

YET, we creatures came up with such an natural thing as a straight line. Straight lines are a uniquely human hallucination. Its the logic we use to make sense of the world, but its a Rorschach test of our own making. You are attaching meaning to it because thats what our brains do. generate meaning out of chaos.

I need to look no further than pi, which is a number that represents our feeble attempts to push the round universe into our square heads. Its trying to represent the curved universe as a straight line (and visavers) - and reality said : LOL, NOPE!! YOU get a number that is more illusive than the irrationals. A never ending non patterned number.

All of nature is not based on mathematics. Mathematics is the language we use to describe nature. Thats like saying the Grand Canyon is BASED on book describing the Grand Canyon.

1.) No its not. Its our language, not nature’s.

2.) To a degree, yes. But thats because our brains are pattern seeking and pattern generating machines - not because nature follows a system WE made up.

3.) Did I mention Pi yet

THIS is a graph of a discovery that I made in number theory. Does it look like it has a pattern to you? I think this is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, because IT MAKES NO SENSE. which means, we still have a lot to discover and learn

To quote the first words of the old Dune movie:

“A beginning is a very delicate time.”

What we should all take responsibility for is the health and quality of the community. We should be more active citizens, instead of the passive “consumers” we’ve all been corporately groomed to be.

I think more instances are the answer because this activity can’t be cheap. maybe Lemmy.world splits off into 2 or 4 instances. Lemmy1.world etc

This dynamic will have to stabilize in costs. I don’t know what that looks like.

squabbles is non federated… i just signed up with raddle

I mean, what other reddit clones are there?

Might I suggest we start paying for it this time, from the beginning? All of the sites we have been enjoying since the birth of Google have been a lie. They are all on borrowed time… myspace, google, facebook, youtube. each was loosing money for a decade before they had to start making money. We could CHANGE THAT NOW, if we all agreed to start chipping in on storage and transmission costs. I have no faith that it lemmy will last forever. eventually, it’ll get centralized somehow. But we could keep it decentralized for longer if we start normalizing having to pay for the content we enjoy

The third panel of that is LINUX: Can you install this 25 year old program?

It was already installed on there.

so, dick justice isn’t right? I mean, I can understand if the upvotes/downvotes are publicly transmitted… who knows what the instances share with each other. Maybe they are “%100 public” given some API calls…

Where can I see someone’s up/down vote list?
