  • the only way to not have an echo chamber where people vote with their emotions is to have an enlightened gnosticism user-base which is obviously very difficult to get and nurture but i'm trying :)

    the best way to do this is to cultivate an atmosphere of discussion and in-depth thought regularly, which you can do by engaging with these discussions and seeking enlightenment yourself.

  • China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible

  • Technically, there's only two sources of energy in the universe: nuclear energy and the expansion of the cosmos.

    Like, solar is fusion, ofc, the light coming from the sun. So is wind and water and bioenergy (indirectly). Geothermal is fission (heat comes from radioactive decay inside Earth).

    But then there's another source of energy that nobody ever talks about: tidal power It works by converting the rise and fall of water with the tides into electrical energy. This energy ultimately comes from the moon orbiting around Earth, more precisely, its mechanical energy: The fact that the moon is distant from Earth is only because the universe expanded after the big bang. Had it not done this, the moon and earth would be located at the same location, and there would be no "orbiting" to extract energy out of :P

    I just made a post about this here

  • This diagram shows the LCOE (levelized cost of electricity) for various technologies - i.e. how much does one kWh of electricity cost if you divide the total number of generated kWh by the total cost of the power plant.

    "utility-scale solar" means large-scale flat-area solar parks

    But will Fusion ever be cheaper than solar?

    I doubt it; It's not only about technology costs but also about advantages like decentralization. If you can generate your own electricity in your own back-yard, you're much more independent than if you're dependent on large-scale fusion power. Because that will necessarily be very large-scale and centralized because nobody can set up a fusion reactor in their own back yard.

  • yeah, i think embedding Lemmy content into Mastodon is trivial, because you just show the post. But the other way around, embedding Mastodon posts into Lemmy could be a bit more tricky, because in what community do you show the post? There could be a virtual community for each Mastodon server, like when you post something on mastodon.de, then it's displayed on the lemmy community /c/all@mastodon.de

    What do you think of this?

  • ehh, there's spaces where adding stickers (that advocate for public-benefit, non-commercial stuff) is considered socially acceptable, such as in certain university buildings, pubs/bars, the back of your own laptop, ...

  • the difference between graffiti and stickers is that typically, you can remove stickers quite easily, while graffiti is a more difficult-to-remove thing. so there's not much damage done.

  • There's also this very good Lemmy sign-up page: https://join-lemmy.org/

    If you click on "Join a Server", it brings you to this dialogue:

    Where you can choose Topic and Language which i think is the best way to do it.

  • People used to put the text of images, like comics, in the body of the OP to be more accessible

    I argue that that's a perfect use case for AI because it can do that well and reliable and it doesn't need to be done by humans manually. You're just annoying users that way when a machine can do it perfectly fine.

  • Lemmy standing for "Marxist-Leninist" surely is off-putting to some. Might be better to re-brand it as "Feddit" (federated Reddit).
