I think mortn is unable to relate to the outcome (of giving horses radiation poisoning) being desirable.
Kinda similar to people who can’t get the Joker’s desire to “See the world burn”, which is why they don’t understand his jokes.

1. I think it would be better called a media file converter or something more specific like that, unless you actually intend on adding more types of file, like doc, odf, md, pdf etc.
2. Interesting. I also made a little thingy for personal use, though it does literally call the ffmpeg CLI tool. Haven’t even made an install configuration though, so you will just have to run it out of the build directory.

And here I was considering petitioning for an open source UPI app.
Turns out, the Government is just another company now.

I feel like they’d be happy installing yet another spying app, if that means getting to keep millions of data providers.

and go elsewhere

elsewhere, you would have this guy’s friends.
Your choice.

Perhaps they are looking for an open discussion with affected people, before drafting something for the official channels.

On Lemmy, you get to make your own algorithm to choose which post comes first.
So you can even go with a most-downvotes-first approach.

It will matter depending upon what people choose.
The usual ones on clients^[1] are Hot, Top, Controversial, New and Old and the Controversial one has to do with both, upvotes and downvotes.

Well, how much can you sell a Cantonese speaking dog for?

Nah, that’d just be genus-ist.
Or maybe generist.

Yeah, if you get to a telescope in time, you would also be able to see yourself out in space or 1 whole year.

Nice.
Now good luck teaching the dog to understand your language. It’s brain is already overloaded.
And you’ll now have to learn Cantonese too, to understand what it is saying (better than no language though).

The problem being that if your are out of the country (and you can’t teleport back to anywhere else), you now need to explain to the authorities how you managed to get in without a movement record.

Although it might be useful if you are a local and just need to dodge a bullet or escape a mugging by random teleportation.

Oh right.
Had to look at it a bit longer to realise.
The rear light on that vehicle looked kinda like that of a bus though.

It seems like the sun is being reflected off the bus’s window.
Would polarising glasses help?

I tried to look for the post but somehow wasn’t able to find it (I thought I commented on it).
I don’t remember the place, but a part of the policy was that data centers must pay 85% of their projected energy usage.

Here, found an article: https://www.ehn.org/ohio-regulators-make-tech-companies-pay-more-for-energy-hungry-data-centers

But that is the reason their search tool is not working. It’s probably configured for files, not directories.

I have said this before somewhere, but this feels like something that would be very well suited for places where electricity prices have gone extremely low due to “too many solar panels”.
Also, in places with excess geothermal output etc.
What are these companies really basing their installation locations upon?

I am going by mainly 2 points:

• DDR4 being dropped in favour of DDR5
  • What if the places with high quality output end up just staying on DDR5
• DDR4 being taken by the cheaper manufacturers
  • Ever since seeing how well my old SK Hynix DDR2 has lasted, I have been kinda partial to it. paying $10 - 15 extra to get something that I won’t have to replace for the device’s lifetime (~20 years) makes sense to me
  • The new modules made by the cheaper ones might not end up being as good and reviews may be hard to find as most enthusiasts that do quality testing, tend to do so only when the tech is new (and now that is DDR5)

Sadly I am not in a location where people just discard useful parts.
If I were to try buying 2nd hand here, I would most probably end up with stuff that has some or the other kind of of damage.

For instance, in one of the companies I worked at, their policy for getting rid of stuff was:

1. If unneeded but working, then send to another department
2. If malfunctioning but fixable, get it fixed
3. If not worth fixing, then auction it off
4. HDDs? repurpose or shred

And the auctions occurred years later after much red tape…
Mostly bought by other companies, who get to do more red-tape stuff to buy it.

While on one hand, this is a good thing, reducing wastage, it also means that I have no way to get 2nd hand stuff for hobbyist usage.
In case we do get 2nd hand stuff, it is usually through a 2nd hand dealer, who then ends up with a higher asking price than what it’s worth.

Also, I am not expecting there to be any AI enthusiast nearby me.

It’s a bit different in this case.

The responsibility of providing electricity falls onto the nearby power plant, which then also has to increase their production.
But the maker of the new electricity consumer does not need to pay for the capital or anything else really, apart from the electrical rates (and some minimal fixed rates) that they are using.

Some governments are coming up with interesting, seemingly effective regulations, though.
