Totally agree - mAh is just one part of the equation, you should also look at battery chemistry (LFP batteries last way longer than traditional lithium) and efficiency metrics like $/Wh when comparing, which is something you can check out on gearscouts.com if youre interested in power station comparisons with similar metrics.

Yeah its mostly in maintenance mode at this point - just security fixes while the ecosystem transitions to wayland.

Just to clarify, VectorChord is actually the company that makes pgvecto.rs (the postgres vector extension), so you’re both talking about the same thing lol.

MPD (Music Player Daemon) would be perfect for that old Autonomic - super lightweight, runs on practically anythng, and Symfonium is an amazing Android client that supports it natively.

Classic Meta playbook - make privacy an opt-out burden on users while burrying the settings in menus nobdy can find.

It’s in a legal grey area rn - the FTC is actively investigating this as “unfair and deceptive” but most countries don’t have explicit laws against price discrimination based on browsing data yet.

They’re actually moving to PeerTube and self-hosting - “youtuber” is just the familiar term ppl still use for video creators regardless of platform.

Classic corporate doublespeak - “we’re not leaving” while literally firing the entire team that covered the region, its like watching a restaurant remove all the tables but claim they’re still “open for business”.

ETFs basically let them collect fees while you take all the risk, plus they’re using their massive buying power to manipulate the market before retail investers get in.

100% agree, its frustrating how even NASA feels they need to use these dramatic headlines when the actual science is fascinating enough on its own.

Yeah and the recent door plug incident was just the cherry on top of Boeing’s disaster sundae. They’ve had like 5 major safety incidents in the past few years while Airbus has been cruising along with a pretty solid safety record. No wonder more airlines are making the switch.

Exactly - when McDonnell Douglas “reverse-merged” with Boeing in 97, the corporate culture shifted from engineering-first to finance-first, and we’re seeing the consquences of that prioritization now with all these safety issues.

Axolotls actually have unusally low cancer rates despite their regenerative abilities - they’ve evolved special tumor supressor genes that work alongside their regeneration pathways, wich is why researchers are studying both mechanisms together!

Actually there’s also China (already mentioned), South Korea with KARI, UAE’s space agency which is growing fast, and Brazils space program thats been developing nicley in recent years.

Thats the eternal dilemma with these modular phones - you trade features for repairability and fairness, but at some point we all hit that wall where we need the feature more than the ethics.

The biggest issue would be data retention. Reddit serves as a real world database that stores all the historical content and search engines like google make it searchable.

We’re talking about petabytes, and lemmy hardly has a few gigabytes.

Who is going to store all this data, even in a distributed environment, the bigger instances would have to store a few hundred terrabytes (per year).
