Thats an illegal rook, probably on loan from a ludo game :3

Yes one million times! Mozilla, get on it! Or, looking at the current landscape of browsers, someone with some free time please implement it in a firefox fork :(

I for one dont see these pop ups; I just block all javascipt in websites using noScript and unblock just the absolutely necessary stuff. Doesnt work all the time, but it works well enough for me.

Its been a problem for a very long time now, electric cars require large amounts of electricity to charge and that needs to be supplied through the residential grid. Higher use of electric cars means more electricity necessary. Electric cars usage is still going up and that is not likely to change soon. As for the more important part: Lots of power plants are not green, and replacing them means building more power generators. This device converts heat to (green) electricity. How could you possibly see this as a negative?

…and electric cars. And green energy.

I used to be really exited about aptera, but as the years went by that enthusiasm waned. Their market is basically gone now, since you can get a real electric car for that price nowadays. Plus, after seeing this video from youtuber “wall street milennial” I dont think there is any hope for them left. I dont really like the essay style of that youtuber, but they cite hard, irrefutable data that paints a very clear picture that aptera is just treading water now, they dont have the funds to mass produce these cars, and no hope for further investments. Its sad really.

The article is from a security researcher involved in the development of post-quantum encryption. Hes known for fighting against various agencies trying to weaken encryption for their questionable benefit. Hes been very successful but a one-man-show only goes so far. Please, if you read this: write those emails to the mailing list and tell others whats going on!

This (sadly) has implications across the whole world, but right now its very easy to stop.

And please, if you do write the email, please dont just copy paste the template in the article, it seems the comitee wants to ignore all the ones with the same wording because of “spam”

Ah, Telegram gets paid 300 million dollars for this action. Understandable.

I was only alluding to the fact that its a low level language like C, but with a more modern design and safety features, not anything specific, sorry!

I dont think that there is another way. They are gonna have to coexist with the old guard. The problem is, they are both right. Rust is the better language, its basically made for this task, but C runs everywhere, it has a much larger userbase, and introducing a second language into a huge low level program like Linux will make it much, much harder to maintain.

I prefer that we leave the “no tankie” rule intact, its sadly very important on lemmy with all these lemmygrad, hexbear etc. servers around. Mods know what tankies are, and we dont have to cater to people who dont know the definition of words we use.

“Tankie” is an important destinction because it seperates leftists from the edgy geopolitics enjoyers, and we would loose that destinction if we drop that word. Lastly, “tankie” is mostly willingly misunderstood by tankies, who want to water it down so they can infilitrate other leftist communities. Thats what happened back on reddit at least.

in nepal posting in “vulgar” language is also forbidden by law, as is stuff like stating that you are poly on social media, so them passing another overreaching censorship law is no surprise.
