It’s like you start a game and within a blink of an eye, 5 hours have passed.

Great game

Especially painful on steam deck. If you get it working, it adds a good minute to the launch time

Maybe it’s not automated and whoever is responsible isn’t awake yet.

Your user is still linked to your home instance. If that goes down, you don’t have access to it. You can still browse Lemmy from other servers.

I’d like to tinker with the hardware but unfortunately it’s just not necessary. Love the device

Why would you want to have two homes in the same city? It’s hard enough finding one apartment, if people go around having multiple accommodations, it’s just unfair for everyone else.

Munich is handling it really well in my opinion. They have rules for homeowners, which are that an apartment cannot be empty for more than 3 months, cannot be used (fully) as an office (of course you can have an office in your apartment) and that the apartment can be used as vacation home for a maximum of 8 weeks per year. I just checked Airbnb again and the offers are sparse.

If Airbnb would be used by renters to offer their home in times where they aren’t there themselves, then it’s a great concept. However capitalism fucked everything over and now it’s just used to generate income by rich people who can afford to buy accommodation.

It’s really useful for programming. It’s not always right but it has good approaches and you can ask it to write tedious parts of your code like long switch statements. Most of my programming problems were solved because I just explained the problem like Rubber Duck Debugging.

Denying entry for people in need can’t be the answer. Honestly, it’s unfair that we were lucky enough to be born into a stable country. It’s unfair that other people have to live under dictators looking only for their personal interest. It’s unfair that people have to live under the consequences of global power struggles and it’s also unfair that Western countries exploit other nations and then don’t lend assistance when everything turns to shit.

How can you justify sending away these people that are fleeing from warzones or due to global warming. They are losing family and their homes and yet, they spent their life worrying while we can go to restaurants, cafes, play in parks, go hiking, swimming or biking without ever having to worry.

Leaning into the immigration policy of the right cannot be the answer, there has to be another solution.

Just wanted to mention at this point that the quantum computers in this post are the so-called superconducting quantum computers. There are also other architectures like ion and neutral atom quantum computers which are basically steel tubes with viewports that contain a ultra high vacuum. Lasers are used to control the ions or atoms.

There’s also photon quantum computers, but they are even more different and not in a really advanced stage yet.

I wonder if Nvidia / Intel would’ve been forced to help out AMD to get around a monopoly. Wasn’t that a thing with Microsoft and apple in the 90s?

You got it pretty much on point. Shooting a laser at atoms is like shooting a machine gun at an indestructible target. If it moves towards you, you can slow it down. But preventing it from accelerating when the target is stationary is where quantum mechanics comes in. That is your explanation: The laser light only acts as a force when the light is resonant with the atom and the Doppler effect means that the resonance condition changes depending on the speed of the atoms.

Here is a clip of a talk show where Robert Habeck of the green party explains why nuclear is not ecological:

I think it is clear for most people that nuclear is not sustainable and only a short term solution. Now is actually a great opportunity to push for renewable energies also because it is important to get a foot into the market before China takes it all.

Adding to what DmMacniel said, it’s a hardware interface, often accessed via a USB port (which after all, is the universal serial bus).

Because everyone can spin up their own irc server. It’s not federated though.

There’s also IRC

In what sense for bad?
