Solarpunk Farming@slrpnk.net•Empty Office Buildings Are Being Turned Into Vertical Farms
1·3 years agoTractors use a lot more energy than LEDs while running. But you can operate LEDs indefinitely. So the source of the energy would be important.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How does this federated forum / site work?
1·3 years agoInstances are like subreddits where the mods are top level admins, and there is no central admin above them. Anyone who wants to create an instance can host their own server. Communities can be duplicated between instances so you could have dozens of c/gaming communities rather than a single community for a topic which stifles engagement a bit. The cost of hosting is paid by the admins of an instance or by donations. Sponsors and ads are not currently feasible.
Unmoderated instances allow any new instance’s content to be displayed for their users.

Gardening@lemmy.world•It’s not a proper gardening community without this posted at least once, so let’s get it out of the way :DEnglish

Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit beats lawsuit by WallStreetBets founderEnglish
14·3 years agoLmao I’m not surprised that a wallstreetbets mod thought a subreddit’s name is a trademark.
Yeah invasive species are bad regardless of how cute they are. In the aquarium hobby pretty much all of the coolest species are invasive. I’m not completely happy about banning imports for the hobby, but I still support it. That’s just the cost of being a responsible pet owner.
They can still hunt and provide safety to other cats which can reproduce. Trap and release is better than nothing for sure.
While cats are inarguably cool, they are also one of the greatest human-caused dangers to life on our planet. They did the right thing.
He just like me fr.
He gets a pass on this one though. His sister’s large breasts are quite admirable.
Grownups and grownups 2. Definitely two of the movies of all time.

Technology@lemmy.world•Twitter’s traffic is taking a dive, according to Cloudflare’s CEO. - The VergeEnglish
7·3 years agoI thought the proverb was: cook a golden goose and you’ll eat for a day. Teach the golden goose to lay eggs and you’ll eat for a lifetime.
Gold is edible btw. Or at least inedible and non-toxic. It passes through without chemically reacting.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•What does defederating from Meta's Threads.net actually accomplish?English
1·3 years agoThe code reads: moderate your own instance however you like.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•What does defederating from Meta's Threads.net actually accomplish?English
1·3 years agoDefederation is one-way. An instance you defederated with still has access to your instances posts.
With the myth that the USSR was a communist utopia rather than authoritarian rule by the wealthy elites.
Bigots are free to speak their minds. But they’re not entitled to someone else’s platform to do it on.
Wefwef (Voyager) allows blocking communities. Go to the community main page and it’s in the … list at the top.
Authoritarian is antithetical to the entire left side of the political spectrum. Tankies are far right extremists.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•It's weird that there isn't a US-specific Lemmy instanceEnglish
1·3 years agoPeople who speak English as a second language are able to engage with a platform in which the majority of users speak English. People who only speak English or that and their local language are unable to engage with a platform where the language used is not their own or English.
More people are able to communicate with a shared language than with languages which are not mutually understood.
One other factor contributes: the U.S. has a large population which shares both a language and some culture. While multiple other countries may share languages, the populations which share a similar level of culture are smaller.
Then you have posts on social media being ranked in some way by engagement. One post may be relatable to 100k people, and five other posts are relatable to 20k each. The single post is ranked higher.
You can still read posts witjout federation. And you could still comment on theirs within your home instance. You just wouldn’t be able to post within their instance.
