Lets add that to the list of Biden's broken promises. Then lets vote for him again because there's no better option.

I think the more peers there are the faster it is.

I wonder if IPFS could have a part in this? We'll find a solution.

Hollywood on strike; UPS maybe on strike; rail workers, prime deliverers, and Fed-Ex have super high tensions right now. Maybe I'm naive but we could have a general strike here. Spread the news people!

I have a similar issue. It blocks the ads but doesn't open them.

The authagraph is arguably the most accurate map projection in existence, at least as far as lack of distortion (I wouldn't try to navigate with this).

*This is actually an open source clone of the authagraph known as IMAGO because the math that makes it work is closed and I can get higher quality images here. It's basically the same thing. *

I hope this is mostly satire. IIRC it represents the police and support for the police. (ACAB)

The Broken Earth series is really original and well written.

I wish I could but... youtube.

(yes ik about alternate frontends but I'm subscribed to so many people that importing the subscriptions would take forever)

I use https://converser.eu as it's big enough that it's fast but small enough it's not at all centralized. The landing page is in french though so you'll need a translating tool.

I've also heard good things about https://chat.mozilla.org but it was slow for me.

Stay away from https://matrix.org unless you like centralization.

As an author, what's your opinion on piracy of books?

 

Typically I get the motivation to worldbuild in short spurts and then have weeks of not wanting to add anything to my world. How do you avoid this?

Ah... the first repost I've seen on the threadiverse thus far. I hope this doesn't become a trend.

A great read+great magazine.

AI Generated TL;DR (tldrthis.com):

Cycling is the most sustainable form of transportation, but the bicycle is becoming increasingly damaging to the environment.
Before the 1980s, most bicycle components were interchangeable between frames of different brands and generations.
An academic study on circularity in the bike manufacturing industry observes a significant increase in defective components compared to unassisted bicycles and concludes that “the great dynamics of the market due to regular innovations, product renewals, and the lack of spare parts for older models make the long-term use by customers much more difficult than for conventional bicycles.”
However, a recent study calculated the lifecycle emissions of a carbon fiber electric cargo cycle to be 80 gCO2 per kilometer – only half those of an electric van (158 gCO2/km).
The decreasing sustainability of bikes is not a technological problem, and it’s not unique to bicycles.
However, shared bicycles are unlikely to become more sustainable than private bicycles because they always require rebalancing and a high-tech infrastructure to make the service work.

TL;DR: Old bikes last way longer than new bikes. From a production standpoint, steel bikes have a smaller carbon footprint than aluminum or carbon frame bikes. Conventional bikes use fewer consumables over their usable life than electric bikes. Among electric bikes, cargo bikes use the most resources to run and maintain.

No. Mars is an inhospitable wasteland that will never be truly suited for humans due to the differences in size. Our planet is currently turning into a fucking wasteland and anyone who thinks that they can just create a new planet is delusional. Our planet is also still viable for many more billions of people if we could just take care of it! Things like permaculture are far more sustainable for larger populations. In a few hundred years, once Elon is long dead and forgotten, and if we can somehow be living in a form of a sustainable society, fine. (Also as far as terraforming planets go, if we were thinking about ever doing something like this we should be looking at venus, not earth. It's so similar to earth in terms of size that it's often called our sister planet. It also may have supported life sometime in the past.)

TL;DR: Hell no, for the next 500-1000 years and until our planet is livable.

 

Pretty useful tbh

 

Looking for collaborators to create a new instance of Lemmy (current technology plan, subject to change). Among other things, this instance will differ from existing ones by having a self-governing structure. Check out the rough draft linked below to learn about our vision for this community. No specific skills needed, but please read through the concept outline before getting in touch via DM or comments. Join us in creating a unique and innovative platform. Currently we have one other person helping and another 2 who may be interested. Would love if you could add to that list :)
