Sounds very similar to the old Soviet pacemakers with radioisotope batteries. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, records about them got lost and so a bunch of people have been buried with pretty radioactive stuff in their chest. I don’t think we (as developed societies) are going to take that risk for some phone batteries…

Yes, I think so but only indirectly. Distinguishing between the “same” community on different instances or rather identifying the more active one is already pretty hard, the only thing one can really go by is the number of users who have joined. The large number of abandoned copycat communities on 3+ servers doesn’t make this easier since a lot of these have a bunch of users but are dead.

A technical solution could be some kind of “hotness” score for instances to identify the interesting/active ones.

That just sounds like a shitty oven tbh. Modern electric ovens also have strong fans and can potentially draw much more current from a high-voltage outlet.

Thank you for reading the source, the amount of FUD in this thread is crazy.

How is that relevant? Especially considering Reagan stopped the shelling of Beirut in 1982 and the Beirut barracks bombing happened in 1983?

I happened upon two of these in much the same way, one of them unfortunately doesn’t work but the other one has been my home office keyboard (too loud for the office) for many years. I’ve always wanted to fix the broken one by swapping in a modern controller, maybe even make it wireless (because that would be truly absurd).

Wtf, they do that for a device that’s that expensive?

It’s not about copyright, that’s a burgeois invention. It’s about attribution and alienation, with AI the act of working (creating the images that feed the neural network) is completely decoupled from the product (whatever the giant heap of linear algebra cobbles together). That’s the issue, not some capitalist’s loss of rent-seeking opportunities.

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe… Viral memes on fire off the shoulder of Orion… I watched CGI babies dance in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain… Time to die.

great tech

That’s not what the glassdoor.com reviews say, at least last time I checked a bunch of employees complained about a horrendously out-of-date PHP stack.

Man, I’m happy I’m not the only one who feels like this. I had such a good time in the chapotraphouse sub and never forgave reddit for banning it. None of the offspring from there could really capture what made this sub special, the hexbear thing certainly can’t.
