We have the technology to manufacture materials that could make up a Dyson Swarm. We are not even close to having the technology to make materials that would be sufficient to make a Dyson Sphere.

What we don’t have is the resources, logistics, energy supply and manufacturing base to implement either…

The quickest and easiest solution would be to update your snapper config and reduce the number of snapshots you keep.

Induced radioactivity is mostly the result of contamination from radioactive materials. Whilst it’s possible to induce radioactivity from gamma rays directly, you’re talking “background noise” levels of radiation. Which is to say, the cable isn’t going to become notably radioactive, and even then, the part that does, will be the part that isn’t protected by the atmosphere. And for people to navigate those areas of space safely, we already need shielding to protect us from the suns electromagnetic radiation, so a small increase in radiation from the cable isn’t going to make much of a difference to anything.

Unsurprisingly, vulnerable folk being regularly and deliberately attacked by people “speaking freely”, tend not to see “speaking freely” as a gift, and are more inclined to see a space where they’re not attacked just for existing as a gift.

I’m not saying that I agree with right wing transphobia, and I condemn transphobia, but sometimes, do you ever think that actually, maybe transphobia is a good thing?

That’s how your post reads

My IQ goes all the way up to 11!

I’ve been using my real name on the internet for 30 years or so now. I’ve hosted public radio shows, I run/admin several online LGBTQ communities and I’ve had newspapers articles done about my transition and activism.

It’s absolutely possible that someone with the desire could utilise that against me. But it’s unlikely and it hasn’t happened yet. And in the mean time, having to hold myself back and be constantly on edge about what I say and where I say it would impact my use of the internet in a way I don’t like, every single time I use it.

So for me, it’s worth the risk.

Iceland?

Though prices are high in Iceland. Their wages are also high, which offsets that, but if you’re coming in with foreign currency/income, you’ll feel the prices more…

I like themed instances and would enjoy them more if the All feed were personalized instead of the same for everyone.

That’s what your subscribed feed is for…

But choosing an instance that fits you best isn’t possible

It doesn’t need to be the best fitting instance possible. It just needs to be an instance that lets you use and interact with the fediverse in a way that works with you. That’s why a lot of people use generalist instances. They’re no ones “best fit”, but they are also less likely to be bad fits for folk…

Some instances are themed, some are generalist. Because multiple communities can exist around the same topic/theme, the user based ultimately ends up in a community hosted on an instance that fits their needs, because if it didn’t, they would simply move elsewhere.

Which ultimately means that if you get instance banned from an instance that hosts a community you want to use, there’s a good chance you weren’t going to last long in that community anyway…

It will compile and install the module for you. All it means is that whenever your kernel is updated, the install process will take around 5 minutes longer than it otherwise would whilst it compiles the dkms module for you.

If you use the lts kernel package, your kernel updates will be infrequent.

If you use the regular arch linux kernel package, it will update every few weeks like it does now, and each time, your package installation process will run a few minutes longer due to the need to compile the driver

I’ve got one already, with pedals. But I don’t have dedicated space to use it, so it never comes out :\

The PS5 lets me play Gran Turismo with VR. and turn by using the gyro function on the controller, effectively mimicking a dedicated steering wheel by turning the controller itself rather than stick steering. I could use a wheel, but without a dedicated space to keep the wheel, setting it up and packing it down is just too much of an issue. Gyro steering gives me much of the same control as a wheel does, but without the hassle.

So gyro steering and VR together was a game changer for me. They were so amazing that I can’t play racing games any other way now…

But VR on the PS5 is basically dead in the water, so hardly any games support it, and gyro steering is basically unheard of in most racing games. So it’s pretty much Gran Turismo…

In theory it’s technically possible to use the PS VR headset on my PC, and configure gyro steering, but so far, the combination of getting them all working and configured correctly AND finding a game that supports it all has defeated me…

They all pretty much let you set the default view in your preferences somewhere

But you’re also betting that the economy will come back alive soon enough because without it all you have is a heavy pile of metal.

You probably don’t even have that. Unless you have your own vault, someone else is holding it for you, and if things collapse far enough, good luck ever seeing it

It’s also not a fork

My relationship with gender didn’t so much manifest that way.

Before I came out and accepted myself, I openly told myself I “should have been a girl”, but I also believed I wasn’t, and that was that. I didn’t really feel anything at the idea of femininity. That was my experience of feeling gender

This is just regular moderation, though.

It’s using the existing tool, but making a small portion of them (approving applications) available to a much larger pool of people

it doesn’t resolve the question I raised about what happens when two instances disagree about whether an account is a bot.

If the instance that hosts it doesn’t think it’s a bot, then it stays, but is blocked by the instance that does think its a bot.

And if the instance that thinks its a bot also hosts it, it gets shut down.

That is regular fediverse moderation
