Interesting that 1) donating blood uses a red spot, and 2) the colors don’t change continuously (there are blue-orange jumps skipping yellow, and yellow-red jumps skipping blue).

Yeah only makes sense if you call it “desktop *NIX dominance” or maybe just “non-Windows dominance.”
Yeah and good luck mentioning that macOS is UNIX.
Oh no! Our helicopters have been satanically cursed!
(It’s customary to get permission from tribe elders before naming military equipment after them, and in the above case there was a Lakota dedication ceremony for the UH-72A Lakota helicopter.)
Computer Modern or GTFO.
So, start a few minutes before midnight, get in 50 laps, then 50 the next day.
France made a big mistake to go all in.
Not only does Germany import electricity from France (which comes from…?), but Germany has (according to this) a substantially higher carbon footprint per capita.
If the only issue is cost and projects taking longer than expected, isn’t that a good tradeoff for carbon neutral power?
And yes, of course, I would prefer renewables, you would prefer renewables, we all would. But it’s somewhat disingenuous to decry the use of nuclear, advocate for renewables, and at the same time, rely heavily on coal, as Germany does (or at the very least, did recently.
I’m not a big fan

I see what you did there.
AFAIK in the USA, nuclear energy is the safest per unit energy generated. Solar is more “dangerous” simply because you can fall off a roof.
Nuclear energy has huge risks and potential for safety issues, yes. But sticking to the numbers, it is extremely safe.
Microwaves aren’t resonant or anything fancy — they’re just dielectric heating.

Completely agree.
The Wikipedia article itself has this to say:
Extinguish: When extensions become a de facto standard because of their dominant market share, they marginalize competitors who are unable to support the new extensions.
By that logic Lemmy/Mastodon/fediverse are already extinguished. Those of us in the fediverse are already “marginalized” wrt Twitter/Threads/Facebook/whatever.
There are very good reasons to hate Meta, but personally, I think EEE isn’t the biggest issue.
Slack killed IRC integration mid 2018.
What exactly did Slack “allow” though? The continued existence of an ancient protocol with a niche but dedicated following of predominantly “old school” tech people?
Absolutely.
Maybe. Or this will play out like Slack and IRC.
Initially, Slack integrated with IRC. Which was great! It meant I could use xchat to talk with folks, and could set up simple bots using standard IRC tools.
And then Slack killed that feature…but it absolutely didn’t kill IRC, because die hard IRC users never cared about Slack in the first place.
My prediction is it’ll be the same — what sort of people will be attracted to Threads vs a smaller “proper” instance? Probably the sort of people who would never consider a federated platform in the first place.
Just speculation and I could certainly be wrong…
IIRC mine (as an employee, not HR) verified some stuff on my CV (education details I think).
I’m vegetarian and mostly keep to a vegan diet.
I guess my experience has been that those things are mentioned more as novelties, as in, “hey crazy thing but instead of kale chips you can eat sour patch kids!” But that’s just my experience.
I think in a developed nation, “veganism” almost always connotes some amount of health consciousness, which can be expensive. Different, I imagine, in rice-and-lentils developing parts of the world.
AFAIK Oreos, sour patch kids, taco bell bean burritos, and McD’s French fries are vegan…but they’re not associated with “vegan culture.”
Edit: strike through fries
Other comment says there is a way from inside, just not outside (which doesn’t help with a young kid/toddler/baby is the inside passenger of course).
Either way, glad this is “only” a huge embarrassment, and not a dead kid.
I wonder if this is width at waterline vs. overall width confusion?
