  Yea. DNS is just an address book (name to IP). There’s a bit more to how it is structured, but it’s not that complicated.

  Actually thinking about it, they would not have to remove the “domain” (tiktok.com or whatever it is), they (tiktok) would just have to stop using it for business. They could like put a banner that says “tiktok is no longer avalible here” or whatever.

  Other part is IP. As you said, you could just change what dns server your phone asks for IPs and use it like normal. The government could block the IP at the big nodes going out of the country. Then you would have to use a vpn. Idk what they (usa or tiktok) have done, but I know tiktok will not actively try to skirt around it and will remove themselves. I would expect someone stupid like musky to try something, but big companies are usually serious.

  Anyway, they can’t stop vpns. But vpns are a pain for regular folk.

  It will probably be removed from DNS (and appstores). Google IANA , and DNS if you want to know more.

  It’s not similar to any meme I know.

  Fun fact: you can download the whole wikipedia and use it offline.

  I remember someone tested this, and the bacteria was found in a wider area.

  Either way bacteria is everywhere and we got immune systems.

  Turning heat into mechanical or chemical or electric energy directly is really hard, you know.

  It’s funny that you can get more energy from gas by using it to heat water and using a steam turbine to drive whatever. It’s just not always practical.

  Actually maybe I was a bit too harsh. Well whatever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays spin the bottle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No. Because you don’t see some people as human beings.

  I think you should be banned from lemmy

  I don’t have the arm strength to trow anything at the speed needed to make your analogy work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YEET⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Take a coin and trow it as hard as you can. The curving is not that much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨don't be a coward⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Magnets, heat, idk. A crystal could grow by fusing drifting material to itself. It could grow as big as a planet ober billions of years and fire lazors. Time or size don’t need to fit our human perception. Then there’s physics stuff we still don’t know (subatomic, dark matter, including magnetism).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨don't be a coward⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It can be cristals and photons. Carbon is the basis of life because it’s good for looooong molecules. But it’s not like it’s the only option. It may not even be the best option on planets with different temperatures or pressures.

  Anyway life may not even need food or care about the passage of time.

  I watched a youtube video about it. It’s temperature that dictates how a snowflake looks. Simple as that.

  Same in Croatia for ovens. Usually 3 phase.

  I feel they have an image to maintain, but i also feel they would sell out for enough money. So… tell me if you make it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zero to hero⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From what i understand, you can pay iso to standardise anything. So it’s only useful for interoperability.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Way Forward, an update from the team behind Cities: Skylines⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  FF7 and supreme commander were complex. And devs then didn’t have the tools we have today. Not to mention game engines (there were, but not like today). And ps3 was a pain to program for. And, and…

  Afaik they became less efficient. Because we banned some gasses.

  I thought it was obvious I meant has more oxygen. You know… the thing in air that matters to us humans.

  Wait so air is stronger near a magnet ?
