@Cheeseness @hankgreen I haven't watched the video, but I think Coal plants are actually getting pretty rare in the US, unlike in Germany (where they shut down the Nuclear plants and suddenly needed a LOT of VERY dirty bitumen coal plants to replace it) and China (where they need every watt they can get their hands on no matter how dirty.) Natural Gas in the US is nearly free, being a waste product of other processes, and Coal can't compete. What's left is mostly legacy ones where they have some deal where the operation costs are very cheap or they haven't had the funds to build new gas plants. Though, I imagine AI is pushing people to restart Coal plants in addition to re-commissioning Nuclear plants, so maybe that's the source of the talk? AI has basically slurped up every bit of excess electrical capacity and still thirsts for more go-juice.
Tech Conn
As for the rest of his rant, I disagree with a lot of the last segment, he obviously watched different videos than I saw, and I would direct him towards the Angry Cop videos on the subject.
Tech Conn
Wow, just watched the rest of that episode. Even though I agree that we should be having renewables built out, I highly disagree with his assertion that he's thinking long term. If he thinks that we'll eventually hit some amount of lithium batteries that we'll have enough and we won't need to mine any more lithium, he's definitely a earth-deadender who isn't thinking about us eventually expanding out of being a single planet and single system civilization.

When he said "this burned half a tanker truck of gasoline in its life" I didn't say "boy that's a lot" but rather "wow, it did that much distance with that little fuel?"
@JessTheUnstill My open source projects always have at least one user. Myself. Why write something you're not even going to use? I wrote it for myself, and I use it. If anyone else uses it, that's just a bonus.
@zaitcev Saw your post on Livejournal. I actually shifted from site to site for a time, from LJ to Posterous to Tumblr... Hated most of them, finally settled on a Gitlab + Cloudflare hosted blog with Hugo. I bet with TinaCMS you could even make it seamless to post to, then you're almost entirely on tech that you can host anywhere...
That doesn't include a way to comment though. I should probably make it so I post to Pleroma everytime I make a blog post, and direct there for replies.

@stuff The rangers are probably all pretty old, right? So it would be ~100k miles maverik's against ~200k+ rangers?
@fribbledom I'd be surprised if he ever enjoyed them, he's the one who was ranting about software piracy in the 70's, so it was probably always a business to him.
@LordCaramac @fribbledom My own BBS used ARJ as its primary format, but I was the only one locally. Almost every other BBS used zip, sit, or lzh. sit and lzh were only used on 1 and 2 other BBSes respectively, and zip had the rest.
@futurebird @Cheeseness Since I just yt-dlp all the videos and drop them in a folder, click "watch later", then use a program to play them from smallest to largest, my equivalent to the next video button is to just close the mpv window. If a video isn't what I wanted, I have to go to my watch later list and delete the video. In order for the views to count, I launch a VM and have it consume my entire watch later list at 240p using the youtube web player...
Needless to say, the way that I watch youtube is very counter to what they designed because I'm trying to avoid this adversarial design. I actually just combine many video sites into one folder of videos.

4chan's Lawyer Talks to Lunduke
Preston Byrne, the attorney representing both 4chan and Kiwi Farms, talks with Lunduke about Ofcom and the United Kingdom's censorship campaign against Americans.
@david_chisnall So, they can't just run an existing test on F77, then rerun the same test on F90 with old data? Silly.
@Cheeseness @LexGear All of them being one type or another is unrealistic. It's all bell curves, you'll always have outliers, and you can't judge any given goblin by the general goblin bell curve, have to look at the individual goblin because the individual variability trumps group identity.
Ah, I see, known bug in chromium, may take time to filter down. https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/11957
Brave has the same issue now as well, so it must be something that broke in chromium.
I wonder why Vivaldi-snapshot is suddenly crashing whenever I put it on my 4k monitor...
