Usenet or Fidonet would be a more apt comparison

yeah, communities should have subject tag sets. I don’t care for anime or sports or video games - i should be able to turn off those tags. Not block 50 different game communities ad hoc

Surge suppressors do not drop extra voltage to ground. They selectively short out surges between whatever two conductors have a high potential between them.

No ground conductor means there cannot be a high potential between it and anything else!

They called the box with all the tubes in it that executed instructions a “CPU”; memory, CPU, and IO subsystems were distinct and well-defined.

I feel like you mean “microprocessor”

They should make up 7% - 10% of all such representations, right? I think I have seen that many, but I mostly watch nerdy youtube stuff, where the presenter’s sexuality is either not mentioned or several instances of them undergoing a gender transition, which is noticeable.

It’s just that 20+ posts a day is kind of a lot. You’re dominating the feed.

You said the thing! So smart!

Uh huh.

Evolution can be extremely fast, if something happens that causes 95% of a population to die, and the only individuals surviving are unaffected… bam, the population adapted.

Evolution isn’t “slow change over time“. It’s surviving (or procreating) when others didn’t.

it just so happens that until man, most changes in the environment occur gradually.

From an evolutionary point of view, the ones that didn’t have a resistance to cancer, died.

honestly, I don’t want established Reddit supermods land grabbing topics in the Fediverse. The right people will find it organically based on their own motivation (as simple as searching for “reddit alternatives”).

Especially don’t want the shallow, low-quality content from default/“top” subreddits.

“prove it wrong”? “as we’re told”? Do you start conversations this way?

Bro, if you don’t like it you don’t have to use it.

Betavoltaics have been around for 40+ years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betavoltaic_device

This device generates microwatts. You’d need thousands of them in parallel to power a typical mobile phone.

All of their tech job openings are in India or Vietnam. I’d have assumed a major US health data handler would be developing onshore!
