Zeke Hausfather, a research scientist at Berkeley Earth, warned more records could be broken this year, due to an increase in emissions and El Nino.

Okay, I know this isn’t the point of the article, but this guy’s name is cool as hell and would fit perfectly as the leader of a band of survivors once the climate change apocalypse actually hits.

Now, that said, I would prefer that it didn’t. Every other form of existential dread I can rationalize away, but this feels inexorable.

Hopefully these things aren’t just replaced but one can hope

if you listen closely you can hear the beans coming our way

I’m OOTL and I think I’ll just sit this out.

I’m fully in the loop and it still just makes me think of omg sO teh r4nd0m!! memes from 2005

like, maybe we’ll revisit ragecomics next lol

because we’re taking the internet back to 2003 and that includes omg teh random posts being funny again *holds up spork*

and now they’re advertising stuff like subscription tiers and server shops, which makes me feel like they’re using a completely different service than I am

well, they hired thousands of devs in the last few years, only to direct their efforts to self-hosting videos, chat features, customizable snoo avatars you can sell NFTs for, etc. (you know, things people wanted)

so I can understand the loss potentially growing in recent years, given what they’ve been spending on

largest tech community in the fediverse

TIL. I assumed between lemmy.world, programming.dev, infosec.pub I’d had my tech feed basically covered

the biggest thing to me, in terms of server load, is that reddit does not need to host videos/images. It’s a link aggregate.

I’m only a layman in this particular field, but I imagine it’s a lot lighter on resources to direct people to sites streaming video than to host and serve it all yourself.

oh, that’s really neat. thanks for the link!

yeah, agreed, I’d love something like that for the fediverse. Honestly, it feels like accessing various communities from different instances would actually feel more natural with it all being fed through the terminal for some reason.

Sorry, not an answer to your question, but what’s rtv?

but they don’t seem to be getting updated in Lemmy.world.

I think that’s something to do with the version of Lemmy that .world is currently on, so that should hopefully be resolved relatively soon.

what is 195/196? I see them pop up sometimes but that name conveyed nothing to me in terms of what they’re actually about

3 is the biggest thing about pivoting more towards Lemmy / traditional forums for me. It’s been really nice feeling like I’m not drowning in a sea of trite idiocy and unempathetic rage every time I open a comment section. It’s genuinely refreshing to feel like I’m actually engaging with normal people again.
