I can’t believe It’s not TheOnion.com.
Small-time opensource developer, big-time opensource user.
I like to run.
I can’t believe It’s not TheOnion.com.
Elon Musk reminds me of a demented Elon Musk. :)
After leaving him, she can just make money by having someone ghost-write a “My Life With an Orange” book for her and selling that.
And even that is debatable. Japanese surrender came shortly after a quick succession of several events - the first bomb at Hiroshima, Soviet Union declaring war and invading continental Japanese land, the second bomb at Nagasaki, allies completely obliterating Japanese navy, and preparing to invade their home islands, etc.
Many argue that Japan would surrender even without the two nuclear bombs.
Yep, most of my non-tech friends just say “Ads? Oh yeah, I don’t even notice them anymore, I got so used to them.” whenever that topic pops up in a conversation.
Enshittification actually does work, but only up to a point. Unfortunately, all the corporations have all the subtlety of a Sherman tank, so they always go all in on it.
There is nebula.tv which works like that, but it lacks content. I am a subscriber, but I’m running out of interesting content to watch there.
OBviously there is network effect in play here. If Youtube switched to subs-only model tomorrow, they would have much wider content offer from the get-go.
I really don’t know, it’s just something that I scrolled past on social media, perhaps it was just a joke/troll post. I’m kind of sorry I even brought it up here.
EDIT: I think I’m remembering this https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/russian-conservative-village/, and the porn actress thing must have been some joke someone on the internet came up with to mock it.
Wasn’t there an ad a few months back, put out by the Russians, claiming the same thing - a sanctuary for westerners who want to keep traditional values? I remember it because it had some supposedly well-known Russian porn actress in it, acting as a pure smiling maiden or something like that…
I’m quite new to OSM mapping myself, but I found following flow working for me - while out, I create a note via Street Complete reminding me to add something (stairs, bench, wastebin), maybe take a photo and attach it to the note for reference, and later, when I get home, I add the thing in openstreetmap.org editor. Last step is to “resolve” the note I created.
I only tried this once or twice a few days ago, I’m still not sure it’s a good idea, maybe it’s discouraged to “spam” notes like this, and also I don’t know how long the attached photos stay hosted, increasing hosting costs to whoever pays the bills.
I mean, we’ve had a solution to this decades ago - multicast. It would have been perfect exactly for this kind of one-to-many TV-like broadcast.
Too bad greedy ISPs and ISVs killed anything that isn’t HTTP, so smart people had to scramble and find alternate sub-par solutions.
That was over two years ago. Surely even a mediocre tactician would anticipate something like this happening eventually.
My guess is that Russia simply does not have the means to effectively defend all of its border anymore, and they’ve been praying that the Ukraine’s western benefactors will keep them “on the leash” for as long as possible.
Yep, that’s a more accurate way of putting it. @Pronell@lemmy.world’s phrasing made it sound like some well-organized kanban thing. 🤣
As a Slovak person, currently horribly embarrassed for my own proto-fascist government, I wholeheartedly agree. We’ve had our chance, but majority of voters over here are mentally 50 years in the past and brainwashed by Russian disinfo campaigns. We really are gullible idiots.
EDIT: That said, it’s mostly just our government making performative noise for benefit of its voter base. We are not affected nowhere near as much by Ukraine’s current gas block as they want you to believe.
It’s been in commercial operation ever since it started operating, and the company running it have since started two more solar projects in Spain, so I’d say it is economical.
Kinda makes sense, Spain, and especially southern Spain, where these are located, is getting a lot of sun all year.
There is also one in Spain, near Sevilla - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemasolar_Thermosolar_Plant
How does it compare to the SkyMap app? I’ve been using that one for years, and am happy with it.
A bit of unfortunate wording there. :) I had to go back and reread it slowly in order to understand what you meant.
If I understand it correctly, they were confident a while ago already that they could return safely, but they’re taking advantage of the situation to do some tests and experiments to learn more about the failure.
(If you disagree, go yell at Scott Manley, I heard it in one of his recent videos.)
Next thing they’ll start rounding up people who wear glasses, like some African dictator a few decades ago.
