The Wikipedia article seems to say something similar happened, but in a different way.

What's the point if they still have AMD, Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, etc. chips on them?

I'm a sucker for any connector that has a nice solid spring load mechanism that pops into place when properly connected. It should sound like a movie sound effect of a gun being reloaded.

I've also used some really nice quick release steering wheels, like on race cars or racing sims, where they have a spline connector with a tight fit and a good spring load.

They may be Californian but they're still conservative. They've got Bible verses on their cups. They're a for profit business. They think it will help their revenue, since they know more people hate masks than will leave if there are no masks.

The carbon free rock is replacing limestone in the manufacturing process, not the sand. Sand is added to cement, along with rocks and other aggregates, to form concrete.

From what I can tell, the way this might be bad is that the carbon free rock may not exist in significant quantity. If it does, it will be mined in the same way as limestone, so that's just a wash not a bad thing. If the rock they need doesn't really exist they have to buy it from someone else who makes it from readily available materials. In that case, it could be green washing, where the company can claim "our process doesn't release much carbon compared to the traditional process" but in reality the total carbon released to create the cement - from mining to processing to pouring - could be similar.

Tbh you might be able to come back go pocket casts. They added a bunch of functionality back over time. Can't remember what it used to be like anymore, but it works for me.

I have a free account and do have access to the filters. You can filter by podcast, started/not started, duration, etc. It may still not work for your needs though.

[META] The merger from lemmy.world has locked out k.bin members. [FIXED]

Is this being worked on/looked at? I ask since the post mentioned discussion was happening with the .id admins but I haven’t seen any answers about whether that’s a priority (it seems Lemdro.id is the one that needs to federate with k.bin)....

Yo, I'm a Kbin.social member and can report we're federating now

I think the point that is counter to yours is that we are nowhere near the fundamental limits of energy density for batteries. It's probable we are near a fundamental limit for LiPo, but the point is that battery tech improves by changing technologies/chemistries. BEVs couldn't exist at all when the best rechargeable battery tech was lead-acid, but were enabled by LiPo. Theres most likely a type of battery you can't even imagine that has yet to be invented that could store >10x or more energy than current LiPo per unit cost or mass.

You can both vote for the better candidate in an election, which will be blue almost every time, and be an activist and push for an cause progress above and beyond what the Dems are willing and able to do themselves. But using the fact that they don't do enough or don't effectively stop the insane right wing as a reason to either not vote or vote for a candidate with 0% chance of winning is foolish and the reason we are where we are right now.

No guarantee they get the edits. Plus every instance can store older versions if they want and provide a 'edit history', whether that's a part of the current protocol or not it is technically possible.

Just like how someone can archive anything on the internet really.

People should consider everything they do online to be public and trackable. If anonymity is important, it requires direct planning and effort to achieve. Data processing is so powerful and only getting stronger. Companies can learn more about you than you'd think without ever having access to your "PII".

YSK: No Labels is a political party trying to run a spoiler candidate for President in 2024 that should not be taken seriously.

WYSK: There funded by dark money PACS, but some good reporting has brought out these names: David Koch, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Mark Cuban, Harlan Crow, and Michael Bloomberg. Some of there members are most famous for stopping big bills. Joe Leiberman, for example, single handedly stopped the single payer portion of the ACA....

Good luck electing anyone not in the two party system. I think there's 1 or 2 independent senators and no independent representatives. You need to change the rules of the game, cause like it or not were all playing the game. And not voting or voting 3rd party when they're polling at 1% is just giving an extra vote to someone who disagrees with you.

The crazy thing is it isn't even as good now that they fucked over and lost their chili source. The new chilis just aren't as good.

I've got a beard but I wear contacts and would never use an actual picture of myself on a public forum like this.

Why can't magazines/communities aggregate content from other instances?

When I look at https://lemmy.ml/c/startrek vs https://kbin.social/m/startrek I see two entirely different lists of posts. Why? It's the same topic, just on different instances. How can we have communities about topics without having them siloed into their own instance-based communities? Is this just related to that 0.18 issue...

I don't understand a small thing about this new place, better just leave.

It's so new and different from anything we've had before, so most people don't get how it works at all.

I recently saw someone get all pissed that a YouTuber on mastodon was responding to their critsisms posted on lemmy or wherever, and had no idea how the YouTuber could have possibly seen the posts. Turns out someone in the thread had tagged the mastodon account and so when people replied it also tagged him.

"Antiwoke" magazin on kbin.social posting bullshit like "how to end Wokeness" and "Time to reject the extrem trans lobby harming our society" How to report ? he is the moderator of that magazin. (calckey.social)

@ernest how do I report a Magazin on kbin.social ? There is a usere called "ps" who is posting to his own "antiwoke" Magazin on kbin.social. Please remove this and dont give them a chance to etablish them self on kbin.social. When I report his stuff it will go to him because he is the moderator of the magazin? Seems like a...

I don't think closing threads is a great idea or in keeping with how this all works. I think it'd be nice to be able to mute a thread as an individual, but by its nature these discussions are open and shared with many instances. If we close it on kbin.social, other kbin instances, lemmy instances, and even places like mastodon and pixelfed could keep discussing, if I understand activity pub correctly.

This article and other discussions I've seen about this content removal trend seems to put the blame mostly on a tax loophole. I don't really understand it, but what I think is basically happening is the company does a calculation that the show/movie will make them basically no money but taking a loss on it by trashing it will earn them a larger discount on their taxes.

OceanGate CEO Bragged About Using Expired Carbon Fiber to Build Doomed Sub (futurism.com)

New evidence strongly suggests that OceanGate’s submersible, which imploded and killed all passengers on its way to the Titanic wreck, was unfit for the journey. The CEO, Stockton Rush, bought discounted carbon fiber past its shelf life from Boeing, which experts say is a terrible choice for a deep-sea vessel. This likely...

I'm seeing a lot of misconceptions in the replies. You have it mainly right from a very high level.

The reason why prepreg "expires" is simply that the resin system is mixed before being impregnated into the fibers, so it starts the curing reaction immediately. These resin systems are usually designed to cure properly at high temperatures, typically 250-400F depending on end-use, but they'll still slowly react at lower temperatures. To further slow the reaction, prepreg is kept frozen. Prepreg also has two types of expirations: "shelf life" and "out life". Shelf life is how long it can last frozen. Out life is how long it can last at room temp.

Theres a few issues that can happen when using expired prepreg. It can be harder to laminate since it will be too stiff and not as sticky. It won't cure correctly causing failures in the resin.

Expired prepreg can be recertified by testing the material for those types of failures. Check if the prepreg can fold over a certain radius and stick to a certain angle without sliding off. Cure a sample and test it to see if cured properly.

They called it AI in the first game too. It's been called AI in games for decades.

I don't think it's too confusing to combine Mastodon natively. Reddit was filled with screenshot and links of Twitter, so if Mastodon is the Twitter replacement and kbin is the Reddit replacement, I'd much rather have the posts natively federated than reposted with the author having no idea.

If implemented correctly, comments on kbin would appear to mastodon as replies to the post, right?

Kbin and Lemmy should come to a consensus on how to name stuff

Is there really a reason, for example, for there to be the distinction of "magazine" and "community"? When you're federating, the same features should be called the same, if close enough. That way everyone can talk with everyone about stuff and we all immediately understand each other....

I heard boost is +1 reputation and down vote is -1. Kinda wack if you ask me.

And we're already posting screenshots of reddit posts that are screenshots of tiktoks. Awesome
