Nah, the dude really was quite shitty on several personal accounts

Lol

yt-dlp is amazing, but not everyone likes to use CLI tools (and, looking down the thread, not everyone prefers native packets as they may cause dependency issues and need extra tools for permissions control).

Even in a geeky Linux space, many people just want to push a button in a nice interface and get what they want. This app provides just that.

Abandon elitism, embrace variety. And use the tools you prefer - after all, plenty of Linux video/music downloaders have yt-dlp under the hood, and I use it on a regular.

Australia has plenty of insolation and most power consumers are packed densely enough not to worry about the upkeep of large grids.

Aside from uranium, we also have a much more plentiful thorium to use as a fission fuel. We definitely are not running out of that. But, thorium power plants can be more expensive, and byproducts of thorium cycle are less valuable, so it’s worth comparing that to running a renewables-based grid again.

Working in the food industry :)

Sodium glutamate and aroma compositions are there to help!

I know, so you can make your own without them!

Anna’s Archive is the world’s largest collection of pirated books, scientific papers and more. Recently they turned to pirating music as well, starting by dumping 86 million tracks from Spotify.

All of the scraped content is available in the form of BitTorrent shares, so you can always download parts of it and spread them further.

The OP wants a convenient way to access this collection and play music from it.

Or just not add anchovies, they don’t add that much to the taste anyway

Nuclear power is non-intermittent and can be used pretty much anywhere. With a push for small-scale reactors, there’s a good chance for smaller places to get their own nuclear power plant, reducing stress on the national grid, and for power plants to be constructed in a much shorter timeframe.

Also, both Russia and China have floating nuclear power plants that can be transported to regions with water access on demand.

Solar and wind are cool, and quite cheap by themselves, but energy storage is a massive and expensive headache and limited placement options mean the grid should be robust enough to accommodate them with minimal power losses.

Ready to be killed, I guess

When you post from standard Lemmy interface and add a picture, it adds it as a link that may overwrite the URL you have entered. Annoying, but it is what it is.

Add a picture first, and then replace the URL with what you link to.

Men use AI partners more often than women, as per the article’s content

Classic

I just never stopped using them since childhood. Why would I give up on it? It’s ergonomic, it relies on strong spinal muscles allowing one to carry heavier weight, keeps one’s hands free and unloaded, doesn’t press against one’s neck like shoulder bags do, and is very hard for someone malicious to take off someone.

The only downsides I can see is that I cannot keep it in sight, meaning I should mind my surroundings not to hit anyone, and it can also be opened without me noticing (although Bobby bags solve this in particular).

Nice!

Next step is to make it not only a set of virtual flat screens, but allow the user to interact with 3D objects

Imagine having that tree in 3D and having screens around it, or something along these lines

I worry you might not have a representative audience here, as most of Lemmy is privacy-savvy. I guess most people just don’t care, and if it keeps this way, it will be no different than smartphones (which are primarily spy devices most people carry around all the time and no one notices anymore).

Yeah, Trump clearly compensates for some insecurities

It’s also plenty of people that support them. Some folks just like to watch the world burn.

What saddens me is that somehow the idea of uniting and flourishing together is not universally accepted as good. Some people always want more for themselves, and it’s often easy to manipulate them into identifying themselves and the nation, the nation and its leaders. To them, Trump or Putin or Xi getting another ambition played feels like personal victory. In fact, it’s rather everybody’s loss.

Fair!
