And it’s not lifting 500 tons. Each bucket weighs 500 tons (regardless of boat or no boat, due to displacement physics), it is in almost perfect balance. The motor simply has to rotate the mechanism against frictional losses.
Yes, people frequently get it wrong and when they are dismissive about it, they are demonstrating their lack of willingness to educate themselves.
It may seem like semantics to quibble over technical language but if I ask someone to pass me a saucepan, when I want to use a frying pan, then it’s pretty stupid of me, isn’t it?
The whole premise of asking basic questions is flawed. A wiki is perfect for answering 95% of peoples questions, so do that instead.
Discussion forums are great for complex, esoteric issues. But few people have those. Most have basic questions, so if you want bland content for the sake of it then go right ahead. Bye bye signal to noise.
People talk a lot of insurrection but it’s very easy to sit on your ass and say “fuck the establishment” and feel like you’re doing something. When in fact, the platform is the very opiate that stops people from doing anything worthwhile
They need to show profit to their investors. They sunk millions into NFT bullshit and now the only way is to force everyone into the official app to serve ads and whatever other nefarious ideas they have.
Impaired is impaired. Shouldn’t drive if your ability is compromised, especially when most people only start off with half a clue.
Coffee is also dangerous in the sense that it masks the sensation of fatigue, but you are still impaired. Driving tired is extremely dangerous as well.
I feel like it’s harder to break the bootloader these days. All my dual-booting escapades worked fine, I still have most of my hair, and there’s no way my Linux skills have improved that much.
In their defence, the development cycles are quite long… takes a while to write a script, animate it, and voice it. But I do fear that it will be a shadow of its former self. 10 years is a long time.
There are those of us who used to be tech-savvy "back in the day" that don't handle change either quickly or well.
I feel personally attacked, lol.
The problem I find with the technologically illiterate is that they immediately blurt out what’s on their mind. They ask the same fucking questions over and over, without searching first. The signal to noise ratio drops way down and every day is the same shit.
I am more than happy to interact with people of all walks of life but the internet is very “Groundhog Day” compared with when techies were the only ones on here. I’m not sure what the solution is that gives us perpetual cake.
Battery lifetimes are specced as 80% capacity remaining. So a 300 mile range becomes 240 miles. Still highly usable.

“Physical release”
heh
Bottom text made me laugh. Win some, lose some
1.5kWh of energy, not power.

I’m only an amateur but I’m happy to give it a go

Linking to reddit? Blech.
Nice tin-foil hat you have there

Welp, I’ll be on peertube then. My adblocker stays on.

It’s a short term plan, guaranteed.

Kbin was trivial to figure out. Mastodon I still struggle with a bit.

They won’t in the short term.
In the long run they’ll hopefully go the way of myspace/digg.
It takes a long time for a juggernaut to die. They can circle the drain for years
Don’t know don’t care, I haven’t been back since the bullshit started.
