I thought barometers were initially included to help with location. Air pressure isn’t just for weather, it also helps work out your altitude.

This says there are fat naked mole rats, but it says their role is to connect to other naked mole rats communities by digging when the ground is soft from rain. That’s quite different from the claim that their role is to block the tunnels to stop them flooding.

Not OP, I couldn’t find a paper. Just this site that makes the same claim almost word for word, and cites a youtube video of a lecture at Stanford. I didn’t watch the video, but this seems best described as a “plausible” explanation rather than a proven fact.

That’s honestly pretty amazing that you’ve been here a year and haven’t seen a troll! Though you’re on an instance with a very active and determined admin, there is definitely a difference in how much you see between instances because of how removals work.

The matrix one

Me as an instance admin sitting here reading about how Lemmy doesn’t have trolls and Russian bots, while I’m in a chat with other instance admins and mods where we need to actively coordinate to fight the trolls and Russian bots 😐

From what I’ve seen, they aren’t building the games, they are licensing existing ones. There are decent games in the mix.

Things might be different in 50 years if I have a robot body I reckon 90 won’t be so bad.

Yes, definitely. Perhaps highlighted if it’s one of their first few posts or the account is new.

Beta is the wrong word, but there is quite a difference in stability between Fedora and Debian.

Yeah, it might be easy to install but you are also a beta tester of things that will be in more stable distros two years from now.

But with that said, I love Fedora, but with Gnome. I use Nobara for the gaming simplicity but with the vanilla Gnome spin. I’d recommend it to anyone, most Linux distros these days are pretty user friendly once installed.

I am convinced this is already happening. One example is the endless new accounts posting ibtimes links.

There are also propoganda websites posted regularly by new accounts (especially sowing disinformation about Russia’s war on Ukraine).

Basically be wary of anything posted where it’s their first post. Often they make accounts and don’t use them for months so they look older.

I also think astroturfing is happening but at lower rate than reddit.

Like you, I have no idea how we can counter this at scale.

I guess it’s Geforce Now

Oh I didn’t thing about access points. With something like ZigBee, the switches add to the network range. But for WiFi, each switch will need to be in range of an access point. We have pretty decent coverage but the benefit of using ZigBee is other devices can take advantage of the extended network.

Others have talked about Zwave, I’m not sure which camp they sit in.

Interestingly. I was a bit worried about adding dozens of new WiFi devices but it sounds like it’s not an issue so I will consider the WiFi switches after all.

Sweet, I was a bit wary of WiFi switches but maybe I’ll consider them after all

I was under the impression that WiFi could only handle so many devices connected. 20 years ago if you got more than 10 or 20 some would start getting kicked off. Maybe that was my short router. Is that never an issue with modern routers? Even adding hundreds?

How do WiFi switches do when you have a lot? Is it an issue to put in 50 WiFi switches, wouldn’t that overload the network?
