Wow, I didn’t know that! That’s absolutely wild

… The root of the thread you’re replying’s main body is stuff JSO has actually achieved.

I’m assuming this is referring to JSO.

Beginning on 1 April, they carried out England-wide blockades of ten critical oil facilities, intending to cut off the supply of petrol to South East England.[33][34][35]

On 26 August, the group blocked seven petrol stations in Central London and vandalised fuel pumps. Forty-three people around London were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.

On 20 June, the protestors spray painted private jets at a private airfield at Stansted Airport. The group had been targeting a jet belonging to singer Taylor Swift, but could not locate it.[140]

Yes, a lot of their protests are “awareness” stuff (basically none of which do actual damage. Unlike oil, actually!). No, it’s not just that. The UK isn’t an active warzone so bombing stuff is slightly more difficult to justify.

It’s actually several seminars. For historical reasons presentations from gay frogs, lesbian frogs, bisexual frogs, etc. Are all grouped under “gay frog seminar”

How do you know how much of the disc is used?

Sorry, I cannot post as such for I am a fool!

You mean the engine owned by the guy who refuses to abide to the GDPR, thinks anti-suicide messages would be bias, wants to use AI to “remove bias from news articles” (and from reviews)? https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html goes into it, it’s a whole mess.

Right now all search engines suck, unfortunately.

In general: non-intrusive, non-tracking ads, with robust verification (i.e. not scams or lies), such as the ones you find on https://modrinth.com, or duckduckgo

With adnauseam: https://github.com/dhowe/AdNauseam/wiki/FAQ#what-is-the-effs-do-not-track-standard-and-how-it-is-supported-in-adnauseam

The best part is that more ethical ads are harder to block, because trackers are one of the easiest ways to identify ads.

Hell, the adblocker I use (adnauseam) doesn’t block ethical ads by default.

AI. Black guy in the background on the right has a white hand.

On the left the arms and legs are in very awkward positions too (the second guy has like… two left legs?)

The point you’re missing is that it isn’t about integrating significantly different platforms like lemmy and mastodon, but rather connecting platforms that are close enough.

Mastodon federates with misskey, firefish, iceshrimp, sharkey, (all extremely featured and very similar to mastodon), writefreely (more for blogging and writing but absolutely connects), some wordpress websites (there’s a plugin), peertube (you can follow channels to see when videos are posted), friendica and who knows how many tiny custom instances.

This allows massive customisation of your experience.

Anyway, interop is more of a happy side-effect of using a common federation protocol

It works, not seamlessly but close. Any community is considered to be an account, with any posts made to it considered to be a “tweet”. Any comments are replies to the post. A microblog account can post to a community by @ ing it, and reply to comments and posts by… replying to the post.

From lemmy to microfedi doesn’t work as well, but you can reply to posts as normal and like by upvoting.

Uhm… lemmy federates with kbin and a few others, but it also federates with mastodon and all the -key derivatives afaik

I’m not aware of any word like that

“The ranges experienced by humans” is extremely variable. My friends from hotter countries can barely handle 10°C, but are fine at 40°C, and it’s entirely the opposite for me.

I assure you that for regular use, Celsius works great. I don’t really think either is better than the other in practice (outside of chemistry), but “it’s the range people experience” is kinda bull. A 10 degree F difference from 0 to 10 is very different from 60 to 70.

Also, water freezing at 0°C (and boiling at 100°C, to a lesser degree) is quite convenient in everyday life. Just check for a minus sign and you know if it can freeze.

To be honest, I don’t think it’s worth the bother. This is just an i3-5 something, and I got all the working parts off of it. But it’s good a good idea, thanks!

Well, I fully disassembled it, and I’ve found some components that are heating up a lot and probably making the buzzing noise.

However I have no idea what they are, if they’re the problem or some connected component. The label doesn’t return anything, so I think this 'uns a goner :(

Thank you! I’m not gonna try and fix the box itself, but somebody suggested it might be the power supply.

I… don’t know why I didn’t think of that. I’ll have to check if I have another.

Yes, it’s laptop RAM
