Yeah, gotta love people that have no clue taking phrases they don't understand and applying them to non-technical conversation.

Mirror a git repo? Do you understand how git works? You clone the repo, and it's effectively mirrored already, especially for something that doesn't change much.
If you want the commits updated, then put git pull in a daily cronjob. Boom! Mirror.
The original jpeg works, but the ?format=webp returns 503 errors. Either they broke something in the Lemmy code, or something's up with the servers.
An API call that could be faked. Easily.
Imagine a bot network that screws over a developer because of fake installer API calls.
Steve Jobs didn't innovate a thing in his life. Apple has always been stealing tech and pretending that they created it.
Now with this new version, they don't even have much anything to steal. At best, they pretended that the EU didn't force them to adopt USB 3 and boast how much faster it is than Lightning port.

(I work with alot of older folks, so “cloud storage” is scary).
Yeah, well, Jennifer Lawrence has a lot to say about Apple's cloud storage.
What if you already have good insulation? It's already well-known that old houses have shit insulation, so of course it's worth investing money into that if you already need it. But, even heating a new house can be expensive.
Even the study could have used some better clarification on geothermal HVACs, which is the direction we should all be heading towards:
Ground-source heat pumps typically provide a very high level of efficiency, even during cold weather. The reason is that soil temperature does not change significantly between seasons, resulting in a higher—and more constan—COP. In addition, ground-source heat pumps do not need to expend energy on defrosting.
This commentary focuses on the performance of air-source heat pumps in mild European winters with average January temperatures above −10°C. We refer to these heating conditions as “mild cold climates”, whereas those with average temperatures below −10°C in the coldest month are designated “extreme cold climates”.
No, why?! Gimme the COP on geothermal. Google tells me it's 3 to 5, but I would have liked a better source.
Regardless, while I understand that we should spread out our solutions, I don't understand why we're not talking more about geothermal HVAC systems. Household solar is all the rage, but my gas company is still charging me $25 a month just to have the gas on, never mind the winter costs.
If we're talking about $5K a hole to dig for geothermal, that seems like a hell of a lot more cost-effective solution than either gas-based HVACs, or these air-based heat pumps. If it's an area with only mild winters, you probably only need the one hole, which will last for 100 years at least. At most, we're talking about 3-4 holes for a large house in Canada, and that's going to pay for itself in 10-15 years.
This is why you don't write your own article titles. The first sentence is confusing and doesn't identify who "she" is. Only after reading the second sentence do you have some idea, and the order is still confusing.
XWindows? Was that what you were going to say?
Wow, you are really digging the bottom of the barrel...
