glibg10b,

Lemmy is neither popular nor heavily advertised, so people join at a slow rate

On the other hand, the amount political discussions, Hexbear, and lack of content result in disinterested people leaving Lemmy and joining Reddit

So the user count is decreasing because Reddit refugees are leaving faster than new people are joining

glibg10b,

As a white South African, I’d like to not sound like one

glibg10b,

Selling as in advertising, I might add. Neon is free

glibg10b,

Yeah, ricing is slang for the r/unixporn kind of themeing. It comes from car culture, where RICE stands for “race-inspired cosmetic enhancement”

No, Wayland is just a protocol, and the things that implement it are compositors, not WMs

Also, there’s no such thing as a DWM, except for the WM called dwm

glibg10b,

I like both Wayland and systemd

Name one init system that boots as fast as systemd on a modern distro with many services. Then name a display server that’s actually easy to maintain and to develop client applications for

The current issues with Wayland are due to it being new, X11 fanboys not wanting to explore the idea of contributing to Wayland, and client applications that are poorly designed

glibg10b,

We might as well call Pluto a planet at this point

glibg10b,

Technically, any amount of money would save you from bankruptcy

glibg10b,

I haven’t done a course in electromagnetism yet, but as far as I understand, the ferrite core is just a piece of metal with no magnetic field, so moving it doesn’t induce a voltage

I think it would, however, change the inductance, just like the iron core in a transformer does

glibg10b,

That’s an interesting way to spell relays

glibg10b,

It depends on how well you get by and how widely drugs are available in your area. If I’m barely making ends meet, I don’t want to give the little I have left to someone who will likely spend it on drugs

glibg10b,

Or just zap the popup away with uBlock Origin’s element zapper (the lightning bolt)

glibg10b,

They’re probably claiming it’s much higher than it is

I don’t approve of the decisions made by Google, but that doesn’t affect how much I use their services.

However, I am unhappy about the fact that the Google Play Services app is required by their apps, since it constantly runs in the background eating battery, consuming RAM, causing lag spikes and wasting mobile data. For this reason, I use MicroG when possible.

I don’t like the fact that some Google apps (e.g. Chrome) on my phone are not uninstallable, but that’s the OEM’s fault (Samsung in my case). Luckily it’s possible to remove these using ADB (without root).

I don’t like how they want to make it harder to root your own device.

glibg10b,

I was gonna argue that rolling resistance doesn’t have a large impact on efficiency, but apparently I was wrong

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_resistance

An example of a very light high-speed passenger train is the N700 Series Shinkansen, which weighs 715 tonnes and carries 1323 passengers, resulting in a per-passenger weight of about half a tonne. This lighter weight per passenger, combined with the lower rolling resistance of steel wheels on steel rail means that an N700 Shinkansen is much more energy efficient than a typical automobile.

glibg10b,

Source?

glibg10b,

Well, here’s a source to counter your anecdote

www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/…/index.html?itemId=/…

Although lightweight EVs emit an estimated 11-13% less PM2.5 than ICEV equivalents, heavier weight EVs emit an estimated 3-8% more PM2.5 than ICEVs. In the absence of targeted policies to reduce non-exhaust emissions, consumer preferences for greater autonomy and larger vehicle size could therefore drive an increase in PM2.5 emissions in future years with the uptake of heavier EVs.

Tail-pipe emissions are not a problem anymore, thanks to obd2, cats, efi and egr

glibg10b, (edited )

As someone who carries one everywhere, I can vouch for its effectiveness

glibg10b,

Can you still receive calls and SMS messages?
