Lots of customization options and yeah, it's what we know. I'm comfortable with how the app organizes stuff and am happy to support the dev.

For Democracy!

I used to prefer cotton and linen when I lived in the southwest, but now in the northeast its almost deadly. After the switchover to synthetics I realized how short the lifespan on natural fibers was. The Blaklader X1900 work pants I have use cotton ripstop as a base layer and it wouldn't last more than 9 months without disintegrating, while the nylon parts looked brand new. Same with t-shirts, they'd start falling apart after 6 months or less sometimes. Probably the humid environment though.

Over 10k miles here, not a scratch. My brother though, he's biffed it at 45mph. Got back up and kept riding. These things are awesome

Those use cases already exist to an extent with current products. I use google translate every day on the jobsite, google maps already provides step by step navigation, youtube videos guide me on car repair, smart sensors with phone and smartwatch alerts for almost anything you can imagine, rollable and thin film transparent displays for walls and windows. Its hard to see AR/VR overtaking existing technologies except for niche use cases. The tech is gonna have to advance well past 2030 projections to be both cheap and feasible for practical use. Batteries will need an order of magnitude higher energy density and microchips will need to pass the teraFLOP barrier while consuming less than a watt of power, all while fitting into a comfortable and unobtrusive form factor suited for long term daily use. I don't see that happening anytime in the next decade honestly.

Try out the Radio Garden app. It lets you pick almost any radio station worldwide and lets you pick through them on a globe. I found a ton of my current favorite artists through it. A few of my coworkers from Venezuela were thrilled to be able to hear stations from their hometowns.

Sunset Rollercoaster has been one of my favorites for years. I'm gonna check out some of these other bands. Thanks for the recommendations.

I love PoE, but there are some hard limitations to that idea. Mainly cost per meter of cable, but also in the amount of runs that would need to be completed to accomplish that. I cant splice two ethernet cables together and run one to a nearby light or other device without a switch, which means more equipment or more cable to make it work. Also, being 48v, it will have a lower overall efficiency compared to direct wiring with 110-220v, especially with the higher resistance of ethernet vs 14ga romex. That being said, I'd love to see 48v dc in home outlets.

I thought the same thing. Was looking for the overall color temperature of the scene, but none really fit.

People are ridiculous sometimes. These companies aren't going to eat millions of dollars per day in hosting costs to appease the minority who expect everything to just be given to them.

I don't believe it would work for this case. Typical DDoS is just sending a ton of junk packets at a server at the max bandwidth of the network of bots an attacker has at their disposal. Very easy to block for a large cloud provider with multi-terabit connections and multiple redundant data centers. This is different, they're asking the server to send them large amounts of information on repeat, or process massive amounts of data. The attacker is targeting the servers hardware itself through legitimate processes, so a third party wouldn't really be able to do much.

Unfortunately, if there's any hope of lemmy really taking off, they'll come eventually. All popular sites and services have to deal with it at some point.
