color revolution

Oh god.

Lying about fuckin’ everything? Agreed.

NT$1,000,000 (one million New Taiwan dollars) for the Laget Aero One. […] about $31,350 US dollars

Annoying clickbait headline, okay article.

Can you point at your hands?

And I never once claimed that it singularly was.

The name “the internet” was coined by researchers at stanford while they were defining the TCP/IP protocol, which* was then called the DoD model (IIRC the name originated in RFC 675). That said, the World Wide Web itself is a collaborative international work, and it always has been - though amusingly, TBL credits Ted Nelson (an American) with having done the critical work (developing hypertext document linking), and Ted Nelson in turn credits TBL and his team at CERN as the people who took the idea and “ran with it”.

Nobody here is attempting to assign or take away credit for the development of the WWW except you, which is honestly pretty weird. The internet was an american invention - the internet we use (gestures grandly) is the most impressive work of international collaboration in human history. Stop trying to play keepsies over it, you’re being regressive.

HTTP was developed by TBL’s team at CERN, it was not developed by “the english”. You’re actively erasing the contributions of non-american groups to the modern internet in your quest to de-americanize the internet. You’re a far bigger contributer to this problem than the person who used miles in an extremely informal way.

The US did… develop it, it’s more the de-americanization of the internet, which itself is a noble goal sure. But while it’s a good goal to strive for, 50% of the internet is english - and of english language speakers, 23% of them are from the US. It’s probably much more useful for you to focus on promoting the use of non-US tech companies / social media / web services than to try to enforce the purity of casual language.

Yeah, and that tendency is directly addressed in the policy.

Like, say, a candle?

Spelling/grammar checking and machine translation have been in use for decades on wikipedia, the only difference is that AI has improved the usefulness of the tools for first-pass editing. I don’t believe the policy has even changed - you still had to be fluent in the language if you were using the old style MTL tools, too.

Aside from generating videos of young girls with gigantic titties, this is the only thing generative AI is actually useful for.

They weren’t using it to describe a specific measure, just to express a general sentiment - why take this one so personally?

This is the same kind of thing the local Airsofters were building with an arduino and a few hats a decade ago. It’s not a functional “weapon” it’s just a hobby rocket with fins (that admittedly looks real fun to shoot)

I can contribute that the goal with the drones is to help contain small fires before they spread - they aren’t there to stop the fires, just slow them down until humans can get there with the serious equipment.

Probably my Runescape account, just hit 21 years.

Except that’s not how that works - creating a healthy used resale market drives demand for the Pixel phones. I may not be giving them my money directly, but it’s still of huge monetary benefit to Google if I purchase one of their phones used. I like grapheneOS, I really do, but it’s inseparability from Google hardware is a serious problem.

If only you didn’t have to give google money to be able to install it.

I won’t let it go to my head. I promise. Probably.

Anyways tho for an actual opinion:

This thread is a bit of a mess and I would caution taking anything being said (except by me, the absolute authority) without a large grain of salt - however mostly people aren’t contradicting each other, it’s just a hugely complex topic that quickly devolves into semantic-adjacent arguments about how we should be comparing battery chemistries (on market / in lab / cross-chemistry) and what degree we should be considering the “soft factors”; things like the number of recharge cycles, robustness of the cells to damage, cost of manufacturing and/or recycling the cells, etc.

Sodium batteries are a big deal, and as far as I’ve seen we’re finally at the point where they’re starting to become market viable, but they’re still a largely unproven technology. Arguing that battery tech hasn’t improved in the last decade is obviously wrong, but it’s also not wrong to say that there hasn’t been any dramatic improvement in the technology in the last decade. None of the many “miracle battery tech” announcements that promise to have double-or-better the capacity of lithium chemistries has panned out, we’ve just been making slow gains across many chemistries and those cumulative 10% improvements to battery life year-over-year are finally starting to add up to where the average consumer can really notice them.

Start of my villain arc right here. Like unidan, but with more buttholes.
