James Webb telescope confirms there is something seriously wrong with our understanding of the universe (www.livescience.com)

Astronomers have used the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes to confirm one of the most troubling conundrums in all of physics — that the universe appears to be expanding at bafflingly different speeds depending on where we look....

hernanca,

This article nautil.us/chaos-makes-the-multiverse-unnecessary-… made me very uncomfortable back when it was published. It takes what you say to the philosophical limit.

hernanca,

Germany didn’t disconnect the genocide battery, they just changed the polarity.

hernanca,

My experience is that just seeding what you like indefinitely is not useful. You have to be proactive and find popular torrents to seed and accrue any meaningful upload amount.

The tracker I use has a bonus point system to encourage all seeders even of unpopular releases but it’s slow.

I found that the perfect solution for my use case (music) ended up being Soulseek. I don’t have much money for seedboxes or buying extra storage so I feel like I’m priced out of private trackers.

hernanca,

First thing that comes to mind is

hernanca,

I like to think I’m charm but deep down I know I’m strange. I do feel down from time to time, too

hernanca,

How about this one:

hernanca,

My first “multimedia” computer back in '99 had an integrated SiS VGA card, with an amazing 8MB video RAM.

Before that, my computer was a keyboard-only monochrome 386 with windows 3.1

Yes, my back is killing me but my knees are surprisingly ok.

hernanca,

Damn, I hope you got a good payout. The logo is for a taiwanese foundry called Silicon Integrated Systems; they used to make very cheap chipsets and stuff like that.

hernanca,

What about quaternions and octonions and …

hernanca,

Next step is starting to appear in right wing spaces to say you were “canceled” by the left to start the next phase of the grift.

hernanca,

Everyone celebrating this ghoul’s death, is this what leftist unity feels like?

U.S. Pledge To Triple Global Nuclear Energy By 2050 (www.huffpost.com)

When I first read the titile, I thought that the US is going to have to build A LOT to triple global production. Then it occured to me that the author means the US is pledging to make deals and agreements which enable other countries to build their own. Sometimes I think the US thinks too much of itself and that’s also very...

hernanca,

Besides, solar photocells have a limited lifetime. Recycling them is possible but expensive so people just make new ones instead. Kind of like plastics if you think about it.

Proton Mail CEO Calls New Address Verification Feature 'Blockchain in a Very Pure Form' (tech.slashdot.org)

Proton Mail, the leading privacy-focused email service, is making its first foray into blockchain technology with Key Transparency, which will allow users to verify email addresses. From a report: In an interview with Fortune, CEO and founder Andy Yen made clear that although the new feature uses blockchain, the key technology...

hernanca,

I think the main pro of this system would be that it requires no trust. The immutability would be actually a con for privacy: if you’re burned or doxxed later, there would be hard evidence of your identity in the blockchain.

hernanca,

No.

hernanca,

Profoundly internalized hierarchy all over this thread.

hernanca,

What? 7 million people died from COVID-19. How many more would it have been without all the safety measures?

hernanca,

My opinion is that what matters is how much money each part of the network receives.

For example, instances tend to be transparent about their funding. And we can see that some of them are just months away of being out of cash. Meanwhile, we see people subscribing(!) to a very expensive app that charges $20 to remove ads (and tracking and data collecting) otherwise.

I think is okay to keep people aware of these things. Getting defensive about it is just a waste of energy. For both sides.

hernanca,

Look, if people come to you in good faith to learn and you reply like this, how are you expecting to organize and positively influence people around you? Are you gonna build socialist utopia alone?

The idea is to build stuff together right? If you’re antagonizing everyone, how do you expect to achieve that?
