I didn’t read Solrize’s comment as saying “There shouldn’t be paywalls,” just asking the very legitimate question as to how they will interact with federation.

Interestingly, 404 just solved something kinda related: they developed a way for subscribers to get a custom RSS feed address, so they can access paywalled articles directly in their RSS reader. TMK, they are the first publication to do this. I imagine they would do something similar for federation. (I believe that if any of the custom RSS feeds show huge traffic numbers, 404 shuts it down, but I’m not sure)

Surprisingly, one of the only groups to use this calendar IRL was a giant international corporation: Kodak

It’s not real but I don’t understand who benefits from faking this

This is a good scene

Excellent news

How do I do this

Maybe not the best time to fire lasers at Ecuador, just saying

I’ll post some while we wait:

• six cases of workers who developed cancer or leukemia due to radiation exposure
• There would have been more cases, but people were evacuated

Karma for what?

After Fukushima, there was a reddit comment to the effect of, “You mean it took an earthquake AND a tsunami to make a nuclear plant dangerous? Nuclear sounds pretty safe to me!”

There is a specific kind of nuclear simp who will go to any length to ignore its dangers. I hope we can leave that on reddit and keep Lemmy a place of honest appraisal. I’m not even knocking nuclear’s benefits. They are many. But it’s crazy that every 10 years we have one of these disasters and every 10 years the simps come out to reassure us that it’s nothing, really

Fun fact: this calendar exists and was in use by Eastman Kodak for most of its existence:

International Fixed Calendar

Huh? Where?

This article has so few details. How do we think they’re pulling this off? Phones? A Flipper maybe? And then what?

This. I’ve been using the Fossil Collider HR with Gadgetbridge for over a year. I love it, and I love that it’s keeping my data safe

Yes, because he taught himself.

“At some point, I looked at the BASIC book and decided I would learn that.” He taught himself straight from the book, which he recalls was “pretty straightforward.”

Not sure why “old+judge” automatically equals “tech illiterate.” The judge in another high-profile Google case taught himself to code

I’ve almost entirely dropped reddit for Lemmy. I still go back to reddit for tech support and some niche communities that haven’t made the jump yet. But I’d guess that my reddit usage is down 90% YOY.
