First Michelle Trachtenberg and now the Pope.

Actually, it’s all Chile when it comes to blocking Bolivia, but they unfortunately deserved it.

Can’t wait until I don’t have to upgrade software anymore!

Why not just go back to 14 years with another optional 14 year renewal period if you are still alive.

And of course corporations should not be able to hold copyright, only license it.

Edit: speaking specifically to copyright of course. Although regarding corporations, I’m still in favour of that being applied across the board.

Yes, now that rich people want to break the law to create AI we should just make it legal for them.

Should the diplomatic initiative with China fail, the EU would probably have to introduce “safeguard measures,” which are special duties intended block to sudden diverted trade flows.

I think those are called “tariffs”. It’s an interesting situation, though.

Haha. Same here, but second panel.

Things that you want to understand but sure as fuck ain’t gonna Google.

I think your best bet is to find a new employer. Definitely keep CYA documents as needed in the meantime, though.

The concept of Watt-hours was messing me up. I think I get it now.

• Energy is the potential to do some work, measured in Joules.
• Power is the rate at which work is done and is measured in Joules per seconds, i.e., Watts.
• If you want to know how much energy something “uses”, multiply it’s power by how long it has been running.
  • e.g., something with a power of 100 J/s (i.e., 100 Watts) running for 10 s will use 1,000 Joules of energy.
• For household use, Joules is not a very convenient unit, so we use Watt-hours (W•h) or kW•h, which is the number of Watts an appliance uses times the number of hours it runs. Watt-hours and Joules are both units of energy.
  • Watt-hours is not Watts-per-hour, i.e., it is not a rate. It means Watts-times-hours. If we break it down, we can convert back to Joules: W•h = (3600s•J) / s = 3600J.

I hope I summarized it properly and didn’t make any math mistakes!

Definitely this. Lemmy isn’t that big, so it pays to browse all. Just block any topic you don’t like. I had to block a lot of furry and meme communities because they don’t interest me.

• Jeffrey Goldberg DO NOT ADD!!!

I came across a couple definitions (e.g., https://www.thefreedictionary.com/lynch) that didn’t necessarily include killing, however after looking at a few more dictionaries in the top of the search result, the general consensus is that it includes killing.

It can mean mean any sort of extra-judicial punishment. I agree it’s not the best choice of words, but context makes it pretty clear that he was not killed.

Roads.

Should have smacked him, but still nice to see.

No, they are an allegory.

He’s probably in a gang.

I gave up on the algorithm years ago and only use the subscription feed now.

I was just joking and thinking much more apopalytic than that.
