How does Bluesky compare to Mastodon?

I do think it's interesting that recent submissions use nearly the entire 50 hours. I wonder how much better people could do if faster hardware was allowed.

I wonder how long it will take for plastics to become biodegradable. Sort of like how wood was around for millions of years before microorganisms could break it down, maybe the landfills of today will create the equivalent of coal deposits

This so cool and weird, almost like I'm in a room with other people.

I don't know everything about nuclear fusion so I have to ask: Is it actually renewable? In other words, are the byproducts able to form back into the "fuel" at a reasonable rate with the energy input of the Sun? I know that

The traditional way to play melee is local multiplayer only, so players most players are used to the incredibly fast response of a CRT. This and the muscle memory required to play at a high level makes LCD monitors (and especially TV's

I have always wondered, is heat->steam->turbine->generator efficient? In my mind it just doesn't seem like it would be efficient at all. Surely there must be other ways to convert heat to electricity (Thermoelectric effect?),

Aren't diamonds heavily used to improve cutting tools? I know they are not worth as much in that context, but it's still a productive use case.

For me, Wikipedia was my first realization that RTL webpages exist. If you switch to an Arabic or Hebrew article you'll see what I mean. Even the Wikipedia globe graphic goes to the top right instead of the top left. I don't know

I think its cool TI has added Python support to their graphing calculators, but let's not forget the fact that they've removed assembly program support. I think its a great shame. Just recently some folks managed to make an LLVM b

Even though Signal does seem like a step in the right direction, the fact that Signal is still a centralized platform makes it less trustworthy than say, Element. I must say this nonsense with the ad campaign isn't helping either.

For me it was the practical understanding. I understood the concept of a pointer, but I wasn't confident in writing code that used that used them or (more importantly) reading code. I would see an asterisk, multiple asterisks, or amper

> It’s especially insidious because once you grok pointers, they’re suddenly easy. But up until that moment, they’re slippery eels. I'm sort of a C beginner myself. I understand pointers, and I do remember they clicked in my mind su

As true as it is to say that missions to Mars and helping Earth can be done at the same time, this website does resonate with me. Even if we stopped all emissions right this second, climate change would not end instantly due a positive feed

My goodness, It’s as if [the bundling part of] this post speaks directly to me. I use Gentoo as my daily driver, and school forces us to use Zoom for classes. Like most other proprietary software vendors, Zoom chooses to bundle a great deal

This does seem quite worrying. I have always loved the Gentoo project because it lets you try to install anything on any architecture (not that it's guaranteed to compile though). In an age where a good amount of our software is theore

Well I don't think waiting for better hardware take any less time than improving the software that these phones run. In the video, you can see that these phones are still running desktop versions of these applications, so there is a lo

Yes, as a high school student who just fools around with their computer during online class (Linux, Gentoo, compiling and all that), it cannot be understated how many of my classmates play video games, watch YouTube, and watch Twitch. Those

Well luckily for you, and I am sure others, Firefox will allow you to re-enable this in your browser once version 86 rolls out. As cited from the article: Set the browser.backspace_action to 0 in the about:config settings panel to re-enable

I suppose it is because the text discusses the traditional primary colors of pigments, rather than light. Then again, the text brings this very concept of categorization into question immediately.

I agree, though this could probably be prevented by ensuring one can renew copyright freely up until their death or at least well into their life. If a company is capitalizing on works that were made 30 years after an author's death, I
