#RFEC — Remote Fusion Energy Collector. A silicon based device that can convert the radiation of remote fusion sources to electricity with an efficiency between 20-30%. Might get to more than 30% with new materials. But passive energy collection with RFECs can cover domestic electricity needs, especially when combined with batteries. Formerly known as solar panels.

To those Americans getting offended that their president and country are being criticised for arming a genocide may I just remind you that there is something a tad more offensive than being criticised for arming a genocide which is arming a goddamn genocide. Get some fucking perspective.

Google search is going to suck so hard with this new AI update. We need a new search engine for the web that is run by librarians like pubmed but not run by the US gov.

(DDG is Bing which is also rubbish. Please don't suggest Kagi, it is very expensive for people living outside developed countries. Also its results suck for anything outside software and technology. Marginalia is tiny and is very biased towards the anglosphere).

Just read a take that “30 years ago we’d have to wait days for pictures of the Aurora”.

I think this is a case of “mysterious old technology mythical tales”.

First of all, digital cameras or the ability to convert analog video to digital stills existed, widely, since the 1980s. For consumers digital cameras were available in 1994.

For film, the fact is that in the 80s/90s there were 1-hour photo places literally everywhere.

Newspapers had photos of current events since the 19th century.

Something on #Mastodon doesn't really make sense. Apparently, a lot of people are pro small/indieweb that is selfhosted on an potato-powered arduino in their closet but as soon as someone complains of the mastodon DDOSing websites issue they are belittled for not using Cloudflare or CDN. Despite Cloudflare being the opposite of an indieweb.

Congratulations to the Daily Heil for being the first UK media outlet to join the disinformation campaign 🙄 🤬
