Yes, I use those stop buttons, but sometimes 5 bus lines don't get enough use and just get closed down, but creating a line that goes through all those stops takes too long. Yes, it's a compromise somewhere between a taxi and a bus. I'm imagining single-user taxis, but there are countries where multiple users can occupy the same taxi. In that case I agree with you that it's similar to a taxi.

Is this Bard (the one in the article) or old chatGPT?

It looks like they read your material, until you ask more questions and it starts hallucinating bullshit, like a kid pretending that he read a book for English class, but only read Cliff's notes.

I was gonna say that I never expected or wanted lemmy/mastodon to become mainstream anyway, far from it. And like dual-booting linux and windows, there are just some things I won't abdicate in favour of convenience or having more followers/software or being on a platform with more market power.

But you know what, it's a spectrum, from the volunteer/libre-heavy to the hideous proprietary tyrannies:

??? > FOSS > wikipedia > reddit > google > microsoft > twitter > facebook > ???

Maybe if we are able to accommodate a large fraction of the mod community of reddit and let the flexibility of federated diversity and "3rd-party apps" flourish against facebook's top-down approach we might create a wikipedia-like oasis...

But probably not, because there is too much money to make in appmaking rather than written content creation.

Fine. Apart from the drama of designing, managing the plant, disposal, storage and guarding of residue, waste of mining and preparing the fuel and being a constant target for assholes (e.g. ZNPP), I have no major problem with nuclear power.

Comparing with most sources today, it's one of the cleanest and most reliable, but it's not much cheaper than wind/solar if you account for the construction/maintenance/safety/insurance/dismantlement costs (last time I checked it was 0.06-0.15 per kWh).

Still, I placed it really far down in the list, because it's perfect for baseload power and should be the last of our concerns and the last option we ditch when addressing climate change (looking at you, Merkel).

PS: on second thought, everybody also vastly underestimates the massive cost of disposing and recycling wind turbines and solar panels...yea :/

That's a good way to distribute the storage load, not sure about speed and fetching, but it vaguely reminds me of P2P and IPFS. In the end, it's just a continuum in Ninstances, users/instance, communities/instance, instances/server... https://discuss.ipfs.tech/t/activitypub-integration-with-ipfs/4081

I was wondering what it takes to build subnautica mods and updates on Subnautica II. Found it through the new communities community.

Yea, but what are they expecting by paying 44B? That every sad twatter sod moves to tiktok? Because we aren't suddenly going to go outside. Anyway, this may become a very special summer for people to experience the great outdoors (or not, e.g. France) if a billionaire buys and shutters a popular platform in a year :)

Welp, I guess I only have 3 videos left on youtube then, it was a good run. Then it's off to invidious and when that goes, probably peertube will have enough content :)
