    While they can it's unlikely, not all burning of stuff is an explosion, and not all electricity is made with burning stuff.

    If you are charging up your Tesla with a generator, maybe, but where fossil fuels are burned in powerplants it's incredibly unlikely that it's an explosion in an internal combustion engine. Generally it's a big fire that heats water to steam.

    Firefox is great! I have never been to a website where it doesn't work, and the future of the internet relies on people ditching chrome based browsers (don't kid yourself, chromium = supporting chrome and monopolistic companies)

    in the context of the whole discussion it is valid criticism. /c/games is meaningless and that was the original point if you read higher.

    Don't forget that they have an obligation to their shareholders to continually grow profits. While their past is a red flag, being a publicly traded corp means that they will do everything that they can to keep alternatives from taking their market share.

    A naive planet. Google embrace, extend, extinguish. For profit companies do not want a free community taking away from their ad revenue and they see that the fediverse is something that could take users away from their platforms.

    If you trust meta, I'm sorry but your an idiot.

  • Can we get a "Follow Person" option?
  • mycelium_underground mycelium_underground Now 81%

    There is absolutely no reason that a community based system should follow users. This is something reddit only did to try and get "influencers" and drive ad revenue. Not having any of that crap is what made reddit great in the first place.

    If it's secure, reliable, and fully traceable then it has the potential to be valuable if people adopt it. Google sheets allows you to write scripts in many popular languages, so you could implement a Blockchain on it, it would be dumb, but you could do it.

    With one exception, SpaceX. He was super active at the beginning and pushed for so many new ideas that changed orbital rocket launches. Now he doesn't do anything of consequence so he can't fuck it up.

    He is a nut job who came from big money, but he has had a couple of good ideas that he pushed into existence along with all the really stupid ones.

    60°C bed, 215°C first layer 210°C other layers. I live in the desert and still dry all my filament and store it with desiccant.

    I doubt that if your extruder is slipping that it is a moisture issue. Have you played with the tension on your rollers? That might help. You can also take the hot end apart and make sure that there isnt filament building up inside your hot end due to a gap between the parts somewhere.

  • In a first, FTC charges genetic testing firm over failure to protect data | The Washington Post
  • mycelium_underground mycelium_underground Now 100%

    If only the FTC would protect the rest of our data as well. It's truely insane the number of MASSIVE data breaches that didn't even get a slap on the wrist for the companies that had really terrible security and lost customer data. In this day and age if a company stores data about people they should be held liable for their data breaches, and not just a slap on the wrist, but fined an amount that is large enough to actually make them give a shit as well as being 200% liable for the damage that they cause to people's lives as well as true preemptive work to try and fix their mistake and make their fuck up right. I'm looking at you Equifax, I never consented to you having any of my data.
