Amount of batteries needed is not solved problem.

EU has around 250 million cars, with 10-15 million sold every year. Even best future mines have lithium for around 1 million cars per year and those batteries last about ten years.

Sodium Ion might give us a chance if we invest in technology.

Every social media has the same problem, reddit is on one side, twitter on the other, facebook is filtering by their own goals.

People here are just a bit different angle. But each instance is a little different, lemmy.world is more reddit like, lemmy.ml is leftist, hexbear is... something too, there are probably some right wing instances. Much more diverse than other networks and I enjoy seeing all those different point of views.

This is current problem in society that we don't tolerate different opinion.

I am conflicted. From one side, I agree with you sincevthis is a good idea.

I personally never go around paywalls, if someone doesn't want me to read their article I will not do it.

But... they do push their content to search engines and waste my time with something I can not access. My time also costs money.

Than there is problem with I don't trust media will write the truth anyway, so giving them few bucks will probably not change that. But it is important for us to know what other people know.

Now we came to sharing knowledge, like we would before when newspapers were printed on paper - I could give it or show it to a friend or neighbor. Or go to a library and read it.

While this is outside of our current discussion, they need to find better model.

If it is a daily newspaper, maybe paywal new articles and release after sone reasonable time (like a week, or month... or a year).

I like your idea of separating feeds, to keep paywalled content out of my feed.

I understand she wants freedom in a house she lives in.

But if you go to visit your parents it is not of her concern. She can not get both.

She might be worried about some fantasy she has, but it might not be too bad in the end.

I am in this situation. My parther is close (physically and emotionally) to her family and I wouldn't want them visiting. But I am happy for her (without me) to go.

Problem arises when she wants me to go too and that's where fight starts. Either eight away or after visit, wether I go or not.

No advice, just my experience.

I never understand hate ladybird and SymphonyOS is getting in fediverse.

People are doing interesting work against all odds, everyone ever just saying "it is not possible", finding some random comments from project founder to hate.

But you know what? You and your opinion is not important. People are not doing this to make Linux competitor or Mozzila competitor but to have fun and learn something new.

I also don't want apple near it, but Andreas learned browser development on Safari and with looking for "popular enought" memory safe language it is rust vs swift and just by looking at the code becomes obvious how easier Swift is to pick up. Especially for someone comming from C++.

Haters gonna hate, I wish them luck. Failing is ok too.

Short answer: No.

If someone is being finaned by ads, they are doing something wrong. That is not sustainable nor secure, especially if one wants to reamin truthful.

Ads are used to control media, and are a bad thing. Also ads are not problem, bit random JavaScript executed on my computer is.

Put paywall (just don't push it into my search without marking it as paywall), Patreon, sell hats and t-shirts... there are better ways.

I am from cheap part of Europe. While you can get glasses for 20 Euros, with those kind of requrements 250 sounds about the same.

I guess some countries might get prescription, but I doubt "light frame and light lenses with darkening" would qualify.

Because it works and we didn't need to change anything in the last 20 years. I don't even think about it.

Whenever I try something else, problems come as soon as I want something that's not default. Which is often.

I don't even know how to install Gentoo. I did it two times, second time was when upgrading to 64bit architecture.

If it is true Audi should have been ready, if it isn't they should take some tweeter classes from Oscar.

I also thing we just need to find use cases where it is working.

While it will not solve everything, it did solve some things. Like you have found, I have used it for generating simple artwork for internal documents, that would never get design funding (even if it would I would have spent much more time dealing with designer), rewriting sentences so it sounds better, grammar check, quick search engine, enciclopedia, copywriting some non important texts...

I would pay few bucks per month if it wasn't free. I gave it to grammarly and barely use it.

So I guess next step is just reducing cost of running those models, which is not that hard as we can see by open source space.

I haven't seen anything about that in the article, I would like to see some text about it. Especially from whom?

Especially since they use MIPS architecture while Intel and AMD x86 are CISC. So... probably not the whole process?

On the other hand, even if true, China doesn't have same view on what "original" means as we in the west have. Vase made in the same way as in 16th century is "original 16th century vase". Different culture.
