Cities and Skylines isn’t too far off from that sim city 2000 vibe, if you need a fix

Then make it lie. Spoofing is a thing that sometimes works!

After searching the PDF, I only saw Apple listed for one product, and didn’t see any instances where it wasn’t “green”, so I’m not sure how clickbaity the article is (since I didn’t read the article itself)

Laser printers don’t have this problem. Their medium is already a dry powder!

I think the decline in quality is true. Any time a community gets big enough it becomes a target for manipulation and bots. We try to defend against these, but it’s hard.

Not sure the Lemmy community is at adequacy, but I think we’ve definitely a quality+quantity threshold high enough to be engaging and have new content every day, without having to scroll for hours to see things.

90% of the memes I see are posted by about 3 people that I know by name.

I’ll see what I can do.

For anyone interested, I was able to find the first two seasons. Working on a safe way to distribute.

Ask if you can join the mod team of your favorite community. Worst they can say is no.

Honestly, Greene might be a savvier politician than she gets credit for.

• She picks the right coat tails to run on the first time.
• She is loud and visible in a way that everyone knows her name.
• She picks the right time to exit Congress to further her future goals of public office and also give the appearance of distancing herself from the now-toxic coattails she ran behind.

I’m sure there are more examples, but those stick out as “there’s a lot of acting here to look a certain way.”

She’s absolutely a likely dark triad personality candidate, so I hate her. But I have to admit she’s a clever politician.

As long as they are tasteful, that’s fine. Like little Dunkin Donuts indicators or whatever if they’re in the normal driving view and take up a very small amount of visual space, great. Waze has done this for years. No bother, no forced waits, no delays in navigation.

If you put banner, UI-blocking, and/or full-screen ads in my maps app, go fuck yourselves.

In theory at least, if you have a math problem, and a protocol for how to ask a real calculator to compute it, the model can ask a real calculator to compute the value of an expression.

I don’t know if anyone has done it, but it is feasible. Could also be extended to more robust solving tools. Think matlab and the like.

Wait til you learn about MCP and how much better it has gotten in the last 3 months

Huh? Since when does handbrake not support GPU encoding? I know it usually supports the Nvidia encoding backend for mkv…

That’s definitely part of it. Also not an expert, but I believe you have the gist of it. Diesel engines are more efficient for a couple of reasons, not the least of which is more efficient heat capture to use for Work.

Another factor would be that if you want to do an oil combustion into steam power, you have a few issues:

1. You now have to lug around a LOT of both fuel and water, instead of just water and dry coal. Water and oil are both heavy by comparison to coal when lugging a train car of it around.
2. you now have two areas for heat loss to happen. Steam engines require massive boilers, high heat, and run much greater worst case failure risks (I.e. explosions) which are at highest risk when the water runs out. Coal is worse for this than I imagine oil would be, though inertia is a powerful force. Why move to another complicated system that does the same thing when you can use the old one?
3. Supply lines and training: if coal is already managed logistically, why switch to something else that provides a marginal benefit when coal is both cheap, easily accessed, and your engineers already know how to use it?

I’m sure there are even better reasons out there, but that’s what comes off the top of my head.

I find Waze has better real-time traffic info. Driving time estimates may vary a bit more, but I find it to be a more than adequate replacement for most tasks.

You do have to gut check some of its suggestions, though: it seems to think some roads are slower, even when they’re not as busy, and will route around them.

Yarr, matey.

They’re relatively cheap. I’ve had one for years, though I don’t use it for email forwarding.

Weird shit also happens if send mail isn’t coming from a big provider :(

This is exactly what I would suggest, with one addendum: use internet archive links wherever possible. Especially if the links are intended to be clickable.

In the process of acquiring an advanced degree, I learned the worst part of research is finding dead links to pages that were never archived.

By putting it in the internet archive to create a link, it also adds a snapshot.

Signal’s defaults are pretty good about that. Push notifications are both opt-in and the information they send can be selected by the user. You can have it say “new message” and that’s it. Or the senders name. Or the whole message.

I agree that it’s not intuitive that that’s a leak to most people, but push notifications are kind of wonky how they work.
