Density. Ultimately everything is made of the same quarks, but there may be more atoms per cubic centimeter in some materials vs others (think water vs steam - water is the same molecules packed much more tightly). And on top of that, some atoms just have more protons and neutrons in them - gold has an atomic mass of ~197, while copper is only ~63. So an atom of gold takes up roughly the same space as an atom of copper at a large enough scale, but has over 3x the mass.

But it's in Early Access.. so I don't wanna see yet. I'll wait for full release

learn what? they're more successful than they've ever been. Their profit is up, their users are up. What exactly do they need to learn? Yes, you and I and most people reading this comment are pissed off at them and left their platform. But 99% of people didn't bother. This will annoy people but ultimately it won't drive users away in any substantial numbers. They do it because they know they can and most people will do what they're told and get the app instead. You say that as if you expect them to be shooting themselves in the foot, but people being annoyed at them does not reduce their profitability.

 

I thought it'd be nice for the rest of the world to have a de-america'd instance where there's no discussion of america, certainly no american politics, and no americans are allowed via IP block.

But I think to do that effectively, you'd probably have to defederate from most of the rest of lemmy, and then you've lost most of the federation benefits of being a lemmy instance. However I'm only vaguely familiar with how all of the connections work so maybe someone can correct me.

Previous record was 21.81GW - at time of posting we're generating 21.85GW and rising

 

We've been counting down to this for years now and we're finally on the other side of coal power. Great! 🥳

Update: it produced its last energy on 30th Sept and now the uk is officially coal-free :D

 

I originally posted this on lemmy.world, but then the instance went down again so fuck it, moving my c/videos subscription to here and restarting this post
