Technology@lemmy.world•Did we win? Google to continue to allow side loading English
281·2 days agoThe square app will not run on a phone that has developer mode enabled. I turned developer mode on to disable annoying animations, so now I can’t take card payments unless I carry around a second phone.
If Google goes through with this, my payment phone won’t be able to run any third party apps.
If you put enough energy in one place it will cause a black hole. This type of black hole is called a Kugelblitz.
Current graphics cards do not yet use enough energy to worry about a kugelblitz occurring in the 12-pin connector.

Except empathy. You can still decide to keep people as slaves when it benefits you and you don’t have empathy.

I saw this elsewhere on Lemmy. It’s now my favourite.

Canada•He thought he followed all the rules. Then border guards arrested him on the streetEnglish
12·6 days agoI hate that my first though was “at least he survived the encounter”.
I hope things improve.
Batteries and solar get used 1000s of times in their lifetime, then over 80% (and growing) are recycled. I haven’t heard of any fossil fuels being recycled and burned a second time yet.
Every bit of fossil fuel that taken put of the ground and burned ends up in the air. Solar and batteries don’t.

We’re talking about oil and gas for energy, not construction. 99% of battery materials can be turned into new batteries. The only reason most haven’t been recycled is that they’re still in use.
Show me 1 gallon of recycled* fossil fuels and I might change my mind.\*
Fossil fuels that have been burned for energy then recycled back into fuel to be burned again, not vegetable oil diesel or plastic that hasn’t been burned.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google Fiber will be sold to private equity firm and merge with cable companyEnglish
30·7 days agoAustralia almost did this right with the National Broadband Network.
Unfortunately, it was then sabotaged by the government after an election changed the majority party.
It seems to be back on track after wasting an extraordinary amount of time and money by installing copper lines, just to completely replace them with the fiber lines that were in the original plan.
I miss the comfort of having a single OS (not multiple distros to choose from), and a father who would reinstall the OS when I broke it too much again.
I miss the Macromedia Flash games, bringing games to school on a floppy disk labeled “homework” (then discovering I’d only brought the shortcut).All of this is just nostalgia, and while I miss it, I’m happier now with my Linux Distro.
I’ve customised the desktop environment, broken the OS and reinstalled it myself (several times), and copied games to another device while forgetting to copy the folder containing my save files.
I guess some things stay the same.
Do not 3d print this one. It may exceed the z-axis limit for your printer.
Solar panels and batteries are recyclable. Oil and gas are not.

People Twitter@sh.itjust.works•Yep, young people on their phones are definitely the problem. Not dangerous drivers that kill thousands of people (mainly other drivers) each year.English
21·9 days agoYes, I have one.
Assuming no stream of load cars nearby, they are either loud enough to hear (tyre noise), or slow enough to not worry about.

politics @lemmy.world•FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: AlertEnglish
3·9 days agoI’m not from America.
The rest of the world is watching the orange idiot and wondering what he’ll destroy next.
I just tried to send a package to another country (also not America) and the entire process has been made far more complicated because his tariffs exist. I can see the politicians in my country trying to follow his lead and destroy this country too. I hear about the holocaust level of kidnapping on the news, and watch people trying to fight back on social media.
America is on the front stage of the world, for all the wrong reasons. Most of the world is aware of America, and really does care about it’s politics.
