Who uses “lame” in 2024? It was so pervasive during the Digg times.

I don’t know, man. I read Vaxry’s response and I think that he has a point. There was an incident, and it was dealt with.

Then someone from redhat (because they e-mailed him with from RedHat address) told him “hey we saw improvements on you moderating your community. Great! But if you break our CoC again, we’ll ban you!” To which he replied “Uh, we don’t have a CoC, we don’t belong to your organization, what’s is this about?” And the person replied “This is not a RedHat position. And again, we’ll ban you!”

He explained this in a blogpost and posted the full e-mail conversation.

He also said that the misrepresentation got to such point that a another transgender coder made a contribution to Vaxry’s project, expecting that it would be rejected, and got surprised that her PR got merged.

I’d say, read Hyprland’s responses linked elsewhere in this thread before making any hasty decisions.

It seems (but I’m not sure, to be clear), that it was a situation that got solved, and people are still hung up on it.

It’s like that “but you fuck one sheep” joke.

But Firefox is open source, though. It’s not going to disappear just like that.

Well, shit!

pretty done with Bill’s fetishes about bing and ai.

I agree with all your points, but Bill Gates has no agency on the company’s decisions these days. Blame Satya.

Thanks for doing the math and for expanding.

The way I see it is: if I gather all the electricity I use to power my appliances in a week and just for one home - my home (fridge, heat, washing machines, vacuum cleaner, lightbulbs, laptop), and use it to lift that rock, how high will that rock get?

Also, I wasn’t even picturing a rock that small (10,000 kgs in water can be stored half a bedroom of a midsized apartment. Let’s just assume that it would take about the same volume in “rock.”) I was picturing a rock that’s 10m by 10m by 100m tall. More like 10,000,000 kgs.

Like Mach 1 and Mach 2?

The weight doesn’t have to “free fall” for this to work. It could be a huge boulder that’s lifted a few centimeters per hour. And then it can be dropped a few centimeters per hour when needed.

Invidious is a life saver in the ocean of ads.

Can’t you tell SB to ignore said channels?
