Also - and it’s literally addressed in the video - a grid exists for a reason. The wind blows somewhere

Now I know without looking it’s Technology Connections

Update: yep

Nuclear is not intermittent and can maintain very stable turbine rotation though, which is great if you want to have a stable grid.

Wind energy requires either a very stable high-power backup (not only due to intermittency, but also variable output frequency), or losses to AC-DC-AC conversion and issues associated with inverters and sensitive motor-based devices.

Solar is intermittent and needs inverters, too.

So, all have their place. Some solutions do emerge, like pumped hydro storage, which both buffers intermittency and allows to directly obtain AC power with desired characteristics, but they’re not universally applicable and can fail through long no-power streaks.

Urea cycle is a real boss indeed. Remember having that in my exams

Appreciate the nuance, though I think that “house as equity” thing should definitely be dismantled, at least over time.

House is a place to live, period. The rest is a fucked predicament we found ourselves in thanks to big investors.

But yes, first house should be made super accessible, and any subsequent ones could be sold for a major markup.

Not only does it fail to name it in the headline, it also doesn’t properly name it in the article.

These are the bacteria from the order Pelagibacteralis

If it’s no more than 2 months old, I’ll take it for research

Yes, normally the harmless strains of Penicillium roqueforti or something of the like.

We do use molds in food and pharmaceutical industry, not all of them are bad. Aspergillus oryzae, for example, is used to produce soy sauce, miso, and sake, and Aspergillus niger is a likely source of citric acid you have in your kitchen cabinet.

Natural pizza mold, however, contains nasty kinds of Penicillium, as well as Rhizopus stolonifer causing severe infections in respiratory system, mouth, nose, and face. Most cases can be treated in a hospital environment, but some are fatal, especially in immunocompromised individuals.

A lovely builder’s snack!

Interesting use case

Exactly. Yes, I know they claim it’s just the UI, and the sole purpose of closed-source code is to make it harder to steal innovative UI elements - but when it comes to something as sensitive as the browser, I’d like for these claims to be verifiable.

Vivaldi is in big part closed source, so we literally don’t know what it does behind the scenes

I haven’t in years anyway

Exactly why they can pull off anything like that. People who still stay with Chrome are mostly those who’ll eat it up anyway.

How do you define “Chinese propaganda” and why do you think CCP even cares about a place as small as Lemmy?

As a side observer, I just see some people being more loyal to China and others to the US. This does happen on a decentralized platform where you can’t shut down the other side of the discussion.

Overall, Lemmy remains America-centric and America-dominated on all fronts, so if there’s any bias, it’s here.

One of the popular launchers for Android, apps that change the look and feel of various menus (mainly main screen/app drawer) to fit your needs.

Nice!

No, I didn’t say capitalism is necessarily fascist.

But fascism is inherently capitalist and reactionary.

Fascism is one of the directions for the development of capitalist society.

I see!

For now, my least problematic picks were Fedora and OpenSUSE, most problematic - Debian, Mint and to some extent Arch. I do recognize it’s anecdotal, though.

You’re quick to assume it’s my downvote. It’s not, I barely touch this button and find it counter-productive. It often makes sense to disregard it in a conversation.

I didn’t install Debian 13, but I did work extensively with Debian 12 on several machines, and issues did arise: broken wallpaper, borked battery indicator and non-operational app store to name a few.

To each their own

Overall, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has all you need to practice in a safe environment and learn all the things you do with Arch. It just doesn’t force you to do it when all you want is open a document :D
