tbf, discovering Uranus was a lot less deadly before modern icebreaking ships. Age of Sail ships did not do well down there, and the economic incentives of sealing resulted in quite a lot of casualties back in the day. Doing math and peering through telescopes is much safer.
Ah. That's too bad, I think that's a worthwhile topic. His hardware is in the Netherlands if I remember right though, so everything has to comply with EU and Dutch law. Or, gone it goes, by necessity. That would need to be hosted on a different server.
That's kinda funny. It's still a barrier to entry though, as a niche, technical hobby. It's going to get less crap than, say, a news community, which does not require monetary investment and some genuine interest to engage in.
With all due respect, a 3d printing community is going to draw extremely low levels of bullshit.
Other communities are seeing quite a bit of tomfoolery already. Personally, I do not think attracting all internet denizens equally is a sound strategy for healthy long term growth.
I suspect there's a direct correlation between education level and urges to be pedantic. When schooling hammered vocabulary into your head and punished you for misusing it, vocabulary being misused becomes tougher to enjoy.
Toxic though? You're not insulting or harassing someone, unless they're really thin-skinned.
Militaristic? Check. Hyper-patriotism? Check. Heavy focus on discrimination against out-groups? Check. Totalitarian power structure? Check. Subjugating citizens for the greater good of the state? Check.
All I know is that if you're very worried about being surveilled by governments, the Fediverse is the absolute last place you should want to be.
This is one of the most transparent platforms we have come up with yet. Instead of all your data only being viewable by a host company, it's viewable and able to be analyzed by basically anyone who puts some effort in. This makes it economically worthless, can't really sell something that everyone can already just get for themselves.
We're all out in the open here. So, wave to all the national security agencies everyone. Hiiiii! Hope you're all enjoying the memes!
I don't know, some analogies are better than others. People that just nod along with all of them are just weak-minded yes men. So, I guess it depends on the analogy.
Only somewhat populated one I can think of off the top of my head would be using Lemmy from a dedicated Instance like mander or maybe that solarpunk one, and sticking to the local feed.
But memes are tough to escape. The internet almost runs on memes, they're a horrendously efficient form of communication.
Different fuels do release different amounts of heat when burned, this is true. But, the amount of heat in a fuel, and "temperature" are two different things. Did you not understand my explanation of how that worked?
Memory can get foggy after even a few years, much less 20. Brains are not as pure as we like to think. This is why witness testimony is such weak evidence in a courtroom, where physical evidence like fingerprints are considered much better. People's memories suck.
edit: So how about this one. If wood fires "burn at a low temperature", how does the inside of a forest fire get over 1000 C? If wood just burns at a set temp, wouldn't that be the temp they can reach?
