Maybe we should only elect people who are under 50 from now on.

There are some communities that never transitioned to Lemmy, so I’ll be using them untill old.reddit is disabled.

Most people don’t have a ‘green’ option for which they can vote.

We won’t touch the Greenbelt.

-Doug Ford, 2018

Ford says he’s confident nothing criminal took place in Greenbelt land swap amid RCMP probe.

-CBC news, 2023

Not that he was a green leaning politician to begin with but this is just another example of blatant lies used by politicians to get elected and totally fuckover their country.

there aren’t many people on earth who have earned as much right to be skeptical about claims of radioactive contamination

Oh yeah, I forgot about the dozens of atomic bombs…

Fear mongering, anti-nuclear, luddite propaganda.

SELFHOST! No matter how good the deal is, no matter how free or expensive it is, you can not trust a cloud service to last as long as you need it.

Colour sensors have 1/4 the resolution of a B&W sensor with the same number of elements (1R, 2G, 1B sub-pixel per pixel). If you know you are going somewhere that is uniformly grey you get more data from the higher pixel count. Also, an RGB sensor doesn’t actually tell you anything about the colour of an object, it just looks like the colour of the object to a human eye. To know the actual colour of something you need to use a spectrometer to measure how much of each wavelength of light is being reflected.

tl;dr RGB colour cameras are pretty but don’t help with science

Because executives have to get from coast to coast NOW, they are very important have have to be in the same room as other executives while they tank the possibility that you can ever retire.

So does a 54% reduction in trails offset the 2% higher carbon emissions?

From what I remember the leading cause of death at the Grand Canyon is still airplane crash due to several accidents before the 80’s.

Debian, based distro.

The rapid phaseout of sulphur in marine fuels likely reduced global SO2 emissions from marine fuels by around 8.5MtSO2 per year, to around 2.5 MtSO2 per year. This represents an abrupt decline in global SO2 emissions of around 10% after 2020.

Given the strong cooling impact of SO2, a 10% reduction in emissions of SO2 will result in additional global warming.

Sigh

They suck to edit but you can create them in most Free/Open/Libre software. It’s my favorite way to distribute drawings so that they print the same on every machine.

The are a requirement for distributing a document that has to look the same on every device. I don’t love them and Adobe can go take a flying fuck but if I NEED to make sure that my boss doesn’t alter a document it has to be a PDF.

Nah. Relying on an ad subsidized service to alert you of danger is a bad idea both for the end user and the local government.

There is a already an emergency alert system baked into every iPhone and Android device, the government is responsible for using it regardless of whether there is commercial service working in parallel to theirs.

It’s nice that an ad company lets us know when we might accidentally die but, yeah, not a first line of defense. Local government should be beating commercial sources to the punch every time vital information needs to go out.

For sure, digital dont on do well outside of ideal conditions. There are a few women in the plant who’s voices are above 1/2 of the sample frequency so their calls come across as 100% aliasing after it gets compressed and encoded.

I think digital was chosen for us because they can have dozens of virtual channels on one frequency where as on analog they were paying for a licence transmit on several.

/edit: a typo

Digital is noisy af. When we switched from analog to digital at work (same radios, just a software upgrade) they started to interfere with loads of equipment.

If you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to hide.

I wonder if this message will hold now that the shoe is on the other cock.
