  • Homebrew insulin or diy 3D printed meat?

    Jump

  • My bet’s on 3D printed meat making it to our plates before we’re DIY’ing insulin.

    Regulation for medications like insulin is super tight (rightly so!). You can’t just whip up life-saving stuff in your garage without some heavy-duty checks and balances from the FDA and the like. Plus, the DIY part is insane, we’re talking high-level genetic engineering and biochemistry here, not homebrew beer.

    Then there’s the demand part. The hype for environmentally-friendly, cruelty-free meat is real and growing every day. If they can get the taste and texture right, not to mention a decent price, lab-grown meat is gonna fly off the shelves.

    Meanwhile, homebrew insulin’s got a smaller audience - mainly type 1 diabetics and some type 2s. And given that botched insulin can be lethal, a lot of folks might stick to the tried-and-true stuff from pharmaceutical companies.

    So yeah, I’m thinking lab-grown burgers beat homebrew insulin to the punch. But hey, it’s 2023, who knows what’s around the corner? Fun to think about though!

  • Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

  • Ever bitten into a spicy pepper and enjoyed the burn? That’s what it feels like! Different strokes for different folks, but for me, every drop of sweat is a medal of honor. It’s tough to describe, but it’s about the journey of getting stronger, faster, better. Embrace the grind, my friend, and you might just find that elusive gym rat bliss.

  • open source in progress...

  • There’s an argument to be made that by maintaining the Lightning connector, removed can control and profit from the ecosystem of accessories that support their devices. This includes licensing fees from the Made for iPhone (MFi) program, which manufacturers must join to produce Lightning-compatible accessories. While user experience may be a consideration, removed’s decision also likely has financial incentives.

  • Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?

    Jump

  • The Mlem app is getting pretty good. I’m running a new branch this evening with some new gestures added and it’s clear that they’re moving towards Apollo clone. Or maybe Apollo+! Either way, it’s moving in the right direction.

  • I’ve not touched Reddit since the blackout started, and I won’t be going back.

  • I thought the point was distribution not centralization?

    Jump

  • It's a delicate balance. We champion decentralization, yet there's still this inherent gravitational pull towards a few popular instances. I guess it's a bit like city planning in a way – people flock to where the most activity is, even if it puts a strain on that location.

    In an ideal fediverse, each server would have its own thriving "Tech" community, or any other topic for that matter, and then these could all be rolled up into an aggregated view. But it seems that human nature (or perhaps the current digital culture) leads us to congregate where we see the most action.

    That said, I definitely see your point about the risk of one big server going down and the subsequent fallout. That's not an ideal situation in a decentralized model. It seems we have some evolution to go in how we utilize these systems.

  • Custom Local Domains

  • I use pihole running on an esxi server for dns. In pihole you can create local dns records which is exactly what you’re trying to do. It’s very lightweight, you can run it on about anything.

  • Most have been here less than a week. It will take time. The Fediverse was not created with the intention of toppling Reddit in one week. Many of the bugs that people have been complaining about are being fixed in the next release.

  • Are there any removed apps that you recommend checking out? I tried mlem and it is incredibly unstable.

  • We need polished mobile apps to really push the fediverse to the masses. It has been a great experience so far though and I think I'll stay a while.

  • For the first time in decades, Congress seems interested in space-based solar power

    Jump

  • Last year, at the International Space Development Conference, a NASA official said the agency had begun a short-term study evaluating the prospects of space-based solar power. This was the agency's first real look at the subject in about two decades. However, that study has not been released publicly, as there were apparently some policy concerns about the first draft. The revised study may finally be released in late June or July.

  • I can't provide guarantees without datasheets, floor plans, etc. Not practical on Lemmy lol. Doesn't hurt you to try though. If that doesn't pan out, there are plenty of DIY videos on running cable, it's cheap and easy.
