If these monoliths work as well practically as they do here in a small-scale test, then we might actually have a chance at minimising the damage done by unregulated release of PFAS, which would be good for all of us.

Having said that, I do fear that the rise of these “fix it in post” environmental solutions will be used by big bads to justify the continuation of bad environmental practices because “ThE sCiEnTiStS wIlL jUsT cLeAn It Up AfTeR”

Wow a Republican with a spine, I didn’t think those existed anymore

“If it cannot, it risks losing much of the invaluable investment, tax revenue, and entrepreneurial spirit that they contribute.”

Ah yes, because the rich are truly the most generous class of them all…

• They invest in initiatives designed to make them more money, or to reduce what they pay in taxes.

• They pay the bare minimum possible taxes after playing around with so many loopholes it would make your brain hurt.

• And who could forget that entrepreneurial spirit!

It’s the same trickle-down economics argument as always. If the rich leave because they’re actually being made to pay their way, the economy would disintegrate because we’d lose businesses like “Arton Capital” that…

“empowers high net worth individuals and families to become global citizens by investing in a second residence or citizenship”

What a tragedy it would be to lose businesses like these! /s

Also, is it not slightly biased to have the person the majority of your article about millionaires wanting to leave the UK quotes be the CEO of this company above who makes their money helping millionaires leave the UK?

That’d be like me getting an ice-cream man to discuss people wanting more ice-cream during the summer. Like even if it was true, you couldn’t have picked a less biased source?

Sounds great until you realise these rules, with respect to POWs, are broken so often that they’re barely worth the paper they’re written on.

Given that complex life as we know it is only about 500-600 million years old, around the time of the Cambrian Explosion, the only image that comes to mind is two Eukaryotic cells getting frisky, having a one replication stand, then parting ways

To be fair to the developers, they do elaborate a little further in the comments:

Hey everyone, We appreciate the sudden enthusiasm for our game. When we launched it in 2015 into early access and 2016 into full, we were at the vanguard of asymmetrical games. It was exciting, but it was also our first step down the Dunning Kruger curve. QL has bugs that we cannot fix, shaky net code and overall sloppy design. We left the game up for this long so that players who had friends that wanted to play, could still get a copy. However it has been 9 years with minimal to no activity. So we felt it was right to remove it now.

I don’t know enough about this game or it’s community to comment much, but the devs don’t seem to be bad guys - seems like a story of naive developers making a mistake, but doing their best for their community with what they had. For a niche online game with no DLCs, 9 years is hardly a bad run.

It’s a tale as old as time for the right-wing… in the words of Bono, “Well, tonight thank God it’s them instead of you”.

The right-wing doesn’t know empathy past their nose, so as long as it’s innocent Palestinians being killed in droves and not their own, they won’t care two shits.

While it is dystopian that many people have to end up working beyond retirement age, I can see why some people choose to take on a “retirement job”.

Our jobs are what we do for the majority of our time, for better or worse, so once you retire there’s suddenly a purposeless void where work used to be. To keep your mind going and your body moving, you need to fill that void with things you want to do - but for a lot of people it’s hard to do that sustainably, so after a few years they need something else, and for some people that’s a “retirement job”.

To be fair you could call this “search optimisation” and the people on Linkedin would eat this up

Because that’s comparing oranges to apples.

In terms of pure image quality, real objects would win every time because they only have to be filtered by our eyes - digital images are filtered through the GPU and screen before ever reaching our eyes.

As such, the real contest is the ability of displays to make digital images look comparable to those real objects - because that’s harder to do vs. ust looking at the real life object, it’s more impressive to us.

It’s a race to the bed, as everybody knows monsters can’t invade your bed, that’s why so many of them live under it

I mean it’s a beautiful name, who really cares if it’s named after a genus of Cicadas? There are worse sounding “normal” names out there. Plus it’s named after OP’s passion, I think that shows a lot of love

It really is. It’s the same victim blaming logic you get with cyber-bullying. Simply not looking at it doesn’t change the fact that it is there in the first place.

Considering the German government will do basically anything to get away from even the slightest hint of antisemitism, I can see exactly why they’re doing this.

But it’s comical for Germany to be bending over backwards to avoid repeating it’s genocidal past whilst turning a complete blind eye to an actual ongoing genocide.

The TL;DR for the article is that the headline isn’t exactly true. At this moment in time their PPU can potentially double a CPU’s performance - the 100x claim comes with the caveat of “further software optimisation”.

Tbh, I’m sceptical of the caveat. It feels like me telling someone I can only draw a stickman right now, but I could paint the Mona Lisa with some training.

Of course that could happen, but it’s not very likely to - so I’ll believe it when I see it.

Having said that they’re not wrong about CPU bottlenecks and the slowed rate of CPU performance improvements - so a doubling of performance would be huge in this current market.

Yeah… Definitely has nothing to do with the fact that everything costs more everyday while our wages stay relatively stagnant, making it harder and harder to for people to actually do anything with their lives aside from working and hustling for a meager wage.

Boomers had everything laid out for them, post-war riches and all - they could’ve preserved it for the future, but instead they pilfered and squandered it all, then pulled the ladder up on the new generations who they left all the mess they’re still making to clean up.

Copa and Cogeca, the EU’s biggest farming lobby group, criticised the slim majority of ministers voting in favour of the law, calling it a “flawed proposal” that would cause legal battles in regional, national and European courts.

I suspect this is not so much to do with the lack of clarity regarding funds as the lobby group suggested in the article, and more to do with the fact this law paints a target on the back of the Agribusinesses that hide within this “Agricooperative” lobby, who are responsible for large biodiversity losses, and carbon emissions.

Russia disseminating misinformation and far-right propaganda in order to destabilise a country so they can rig the political climate in their favour is basically their bread and butter at this point.

The fact that people all around the world keep falling for this blatantly obvious strategy is why they keep doing it - it’s easier to have your enemy tear itself apart than it is to fight head on (as they’re currently finding out with Ukraine)

Image and media hosting.

I can’t speak for @wesker@lemmy.sdf.org, but personally it’s a pain in the backside to use with a VPN, so I tend to opt for alternatives

I do agree about not bogging instances down with attachment media costs on top of everything else, but there are alternatives to Imgur like Catbox made for this type of hosting
