Nomecks, in Does wind power cause visual pollution in your opinion?

They look better than pump jacks and oil derricks.

macaroni1556,

Let alone power plants billowing steam and smoke

And they don’t damage the environment as much as a hydro dam

And nowhere as ugly as giant farms of solar

Honestly its probably the BEST looking power source

HerrBeter,

Wind needs energy storage but it generates a ton of electricity 👍⚡

themelm,

Ah pump jacks are satisfying to watch too. And I mean derricks are temporary. But I’ve always liked windmills.

There are windmills all over the place here and I love seeing them. To me this is what the future should look like. Poeple have used windmills for centuries, why stop now?

Windmills look pretty nice. I’ve only ever seen the “visual pollution” argument made by rich, entitled Karens and Fox News drones.

Gamoc, in Your greatest weakness becomes your greatest strength. How is your life different?

The world is invaded by day walker vampires somehow. Most of the human population is dead or turned, those remaining live under a cloud of distrust and paranoia - anyone could be a vampire. even the people you know could’ve been turned since you last saw them.

I don’t notice. Because of social anxiety, I stayed indoors.

jpreston2005, in Does wind power cause visual pollution in your opinion?

Windmills are awesome. While traveling in Europe, I saw a massive wind farm off the coast of Sweden, cool as hell. Then I took a hike, and ended up at the base of one of these giant behemoths! Still cool.

The only visual pollution that irritates me is advertisements and billboards. I hate them passionately.

brlemworld, in What sci-fi-esque inventions are the most plausible and could happen soonest?

Universal translator. Google buds basically do this already.

Teknikal, in Is Sync for Android worth the cost?

I liked Sync Pro on Reddit but there’s no way I can justify the huge cost jump for a lemmy version.

I hope lemmy does OK but it could be replaced anytime with something a bit better and there’s still a lot less content than Reddit had.

Passerby6497,

Same. Plus, the dev already made me pay twice for that app while I was still on Reddit, so they won’t get another cent from me.

Hadriscus,

Agreed, I bought Reddit Sync Pro and now I should pay around 20e for the same thing, when Jerboa works perfectly ?

SPRUNT, in What sci-fi-esque inventions are the most plausible and could happen soonest?

Self-annihilation by greedy religious lunatics.

If it makes you feel any better, I can assure you the people behind the control of the nukes are only just greedy lunatics.

Shortstack, in Why are there so many apps that could be websites?

I always assumed the reason was to get more tendrils into your phone for that sweet sweet data $$$ and allowing themselves more control over shoving notifications in your face.

Do I sound bitter?

nandeEbisu, in What sci-fi-esque inventions are the most plausible and could happen soonest?

Space colonization , I could see a colony on the moon being feasible in the next 20 years probably more akin to an oil field where it’s mainly people extracting minerals and not recreational.

technomad,

What are they extracting though?

Is this going to fuck up Earth’s gravity or some shit?! Lol

Feathercrown,

They gone and extracted all the gravitonium and now we ain’t got no tides

cascadingsymmetry, (edited ) in Your greatest weakness becomes your greatest strength. How is your life different?

I can digest any food at all without bloating, gas or suddenly urgent toilet trips.

Clarke’s 3001 had a whole post script about all the sci-fi elements that had actually been realised since he wrote 2001 (back in 1968). It’s rather an interesting list, but unfortunately my copy of the book is buried deep in a moving box atm. so I’m not going to quote it.

uhmbah, in Is Sync for Android worth the cost?

I switched to Voyager. Check it out…

Just downloaded it and I love it! Thanks for the tip!

AceFuzzLord, in Your greatest weakness becomes your greatest strength. How is your life different?

Well, now that I don’t absolutely suck at talking to strangers and don’t fumble my words, my life just got a lot easier.

RampantParanoia2365, in What sci-fi-esque inventions are the most plausible and could happen soonest?

…not teleportation.
