  Microsoft just casually being a monopoly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I tried Servo, the undercover web browser engine made with Rust⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It would be neat if this ends up usurping Gecko - since it originated from Mozilla and would be ironic, but also because it potentially has a lot of lessons learned from decades of web browsers, and is obviously pretty fast and safe due to Rust.

  They’re pointing out the double standard.

  If you seed porn, its a federal offense.

  If Meta does it, its capitalism.

  Is that count feely or numbery?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ode to the HPLC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, usually just parts. Remember, buy OEM parts, not Restek!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux smashes through five per cent desktop share in the US⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, my first generation Ryzen didn’t make the cut, and it was doing just fine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux smashes through five per cent desktop share in the US⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also wonder how much impact Windows 11 requirements factored in, since the TPU and processor requirements basically said a measurable fraction of functional systems were trash otherwise.

  That’s just your reaction to it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stellantis abandons hydrogen fuel cell development⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I suppose that’s fair, but given the context, an insignificant amount of… still not green hydrogen is sort of irrelevant

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stellantis abandons hydrogen fuel cell development⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You may not realize this, but 4% is not most.

  You should also ask yourself how most of the electricity is generated to electrolysis the hydrogen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stellantis abandons hydrogen fuel cell development⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hydrogen gas is produced by several industrial methods.Nearly all of the world’s current supply of hydrogen is created from fossil fuels.[2][3]

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stellantis abandons hydrogen fuel cell development⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As noted in the article comments, not only are all of the theoretical benefits just not realized, but it’s also nothing but greenwashing since hydrogen is a byproduct of fossil fuel production (“green hydrogen” seems like a pipedream.

  Now if only the US wasn’t slowly shooting itself in all ten toes with EV production and renewable energy policies…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk Floats a New Source of Funding for xAI: Tesla⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tesla Board is certainly an interesting… creature.

  I cant imagine having my wealth be tied to a publicly nazi company, let alone the whole… consistently lowering sales data of Tesla.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thoughts??⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also the tool available.

  Your business likely pays for Outlook… which means you get Excel for free and it’s probably installed by default.

  Otherwise, you’ll have to spend time convincing your manager and IT to approve some new installs

  Wonder if this would help with eyestrain - my vision just gets slowly worse and worse every year

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bring them back!!!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, even the first movie reads that way.

  Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

  Meanwhile, the only reason the entire movie happened is because you idiots opened a money generating theme park.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xAI explains the Grok Nazi meltdown as Tesla puts Elon’s bot in its cars⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Tesla board is certainly… patient?

  Sales down by half in a growing European market, 13.5% sales slump in the US as the EV credit is demolished. Plus all of the DOGE and Twitter drama, and then finally… adding nazi grok to their cars just after all of the nazi news. Amazing.
