Na, we should get rid of that idea completely. If everyone used one time like UTC (other time zones are available) and just align your working hours etc to your location.

Then 14:00 is 14:00 everywhere, just that some are asleep then, others are awake!

That’s always been true of city warfare though. Tanks are not designed for that.

That requires lots of cropland though. Hydrogen can effectively be made by offshore wind farms etc.

It might work if we reduce standard fuel requirements for cars etc enough.

Electricity has been around that long too though, yet there are no serious electric passenger planes (with a decent range)

It has it’s flaws, but it may have a higher ceiling in terms of usefulness. They say they can make it work, which is more than I hear about electric planes for example.

We should be financially encouraging 0 carbon planes, without controlling how, then let the engineers work what tech to do it with.

What are the other 0 carbon flight options? They are all flawed.

We can engineer our way through flaws with enough effort though.

…then there should be regulatory actions to help make them viable

Wait, really?

So you need a visa to transit through the US?

Version desyncs too, even when we have the exact same (small) modlist. You spend at least 45 mins getting everyone onto the same hash.

If anything, it’s way easier to control what your employees see if they are on a company instance.

…that was entirely my point.

Also, which company uses Reddit as their forum?

lots of small apps, orgs, communities etc just have a subreddit and a discord server. Lots of bigger companies have official or semi-official subreddits.

We’re all a big community. I think people get this quickly.

Someone wanting to get support for their hoover or something may not. they create an account to discuss the pros and cons of certain hoover and see loads of random stuff about American politics and Linux. Their going to get real confused. Most people have heard of reddit now though (and to a lesser extent discord)

In fact defederation is a negative since now you have to worry about new signups, moderation, etc. While in a federated instance, you can leave moderation to other instances and only allow team/company members on your instance.

They are going to moderate their communities, if its unfederated, you don’t have to worry about moderating (or the lack of) on any other instances communities at all.

Users can sign up on other instances and still be able to interact with your instance for support, help and other stuff.

Thats going to be too confusing for a lot of users - they just want to sign up and complain about/discuss things.

It depends if they are saying, we have a community on lemmy (federation fine) or saying, here is our official forum thing (federation bad)

Possibly, is Mbin basically a single instance like kbin was?

If you are a company looking for a forum, you want to be able to control it. Unfederated means you can control account access and don’t have to worry about someone going to All and seeing porn etc.

Federated could work, but you need to make it clear that it’s just a community on a platform.

You could force latest comment sort on the posts, but leave the comments sorting to the user.

The Reddit style voting/threading is superior of forums though.

An unfederated Lemmy instance for example would actually be really good.

You can hear to some level, the boats and actions in the vicinity of the cable. So it might provide evidence in case of a break.

It also lets you know if the cable is moving round on the seabed etc, this is useful as it can cause wear.

I seem to remember it being used to check the health of power cables too (they have fibre cables embedded within them)

CS2 still has some glaring holes. It doesn’t have functional bus lanes for example.

I have rage quit over some stupid bug/design decision every time I have tried to play it.

Also, still no asset mods… WTF

Their size makes them very hard to turn too, so you can see them a while off, but that doesn’t help if it takes Kms to stop.

It also only helps if there is someone actually looking out of the window…

Oil tanker was likely carrying aviation fuel for the US military (as per the BBC).

Let the conspiracy theories begin! (Does jet fuel melt ships!?!)

This happened not far off the coast. Looks like the oil tanker was at anchor waiting, while the cargo ship ploughed into it.

Oil tankers are not exactly the most nimble of ships, even if it tried to get out of the way.

I might just be bad at it, but all my games ended up being either a boring cake walk, or ridiculously difficult.

Never really got into it.
