Morgan Freeman Explains To Keanu Reeves Why We Don't Have Free Energy - Chain Reaction (1996) - YouTube ( youtube.com )

I guess the conversation I would like to have is, are we ready? Do you think we have had advancements withheld and held back and is the economy more important than the planet? Personally I feel like everything comes back to monetary wealth getting in the way of global happiness. Star Trek really got that right.

Following the other post, which lemmy.ml communities don't have alternatives on other instances?

Following the other thread (550 upvotes and 366 comments at the moment: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417), one of the complaints that people had what that some communities only exist on lemmy.ml and don't have alternatives on other instances....

Wouldn't https://lemmy.film or https://selfhosted.forum be better? Even https://libretechni.ca

This. Plus the community is top notch. Such helpful people.

I tried it out and you can't share to it. Fail!

I hear you but I feel you're being unfair and yet I can't articulate how. Obviously Tesla are culpable for whom they purchase from, but we need governments to lay the foundation to make clean profitable. To put that in grocery terms, companies that make (sell) proprietary GMO products should pay more in tax than analogous organic products.

Edit: really good post BTW. I appreciate the effort that went into it.

I actually agree with you. But, take a step back and join me in my utopia dreamland, where politicians are accountable to their constituents. I think in that world, governments absolutely have a responsibility to pass legislation that benefits everyone in the long-term, but just corporations.

I'm not suggesting that we as individuals and certainly not corporations are absolved of responsibility, but I am saying that just like tax loopholes, while there's room for people to not do the right thing, they absolutely will go for the cheapest wrong thing they can find.

You're preaching to the choir, but it's better than the plastic they've been using

AI Ruined My Year - Robert Miles ( www.youtube.com )

You might know Robert Miles from his appearances in Computerphile. When it comes to AI safety, his videos are the best explainers out there. In this video, he talks about the developments of the past year (since his last video) and how AI safety plays into it....

So the bit I thought was really interesting was the bit about Chat GPT hiring someone from TaskRabbit and then lying about being a computer. I'm not doing it justice obviously. But it's super fascinating and scary.

Not an issue, I posted for the discussion, people not discussing the actual video isn't fun nor good for Lemmy. If you can do it justice, I'll celebrate that.

People will pirate no matter what and for various reasons. That's fine. Gloating about it publicly is just weird to me though.

we'd have to find an alternative to money/transaction based economic systems

This is exactly what we need.

I hate that you're posting so confidently in your ignorance.

The video says that the notion that we can't replace fossil fuel with renewables given that we get 80% of our energy from fossil fuels is moot given that we waste two thirds of the energy we create. Thus if we move to renewables which are much more efficient, we only need to replace one third.

I genuinely don't know how you managed to get to your conclusion.

Edit: Seriously, you could've read the last paragraph of the summary and not come away looking as misinformed as you have. You could even look at the thumbnail and not look as imbecilic. I genuinely don't understand why someone would be so eager to say something that they just willingly look…

Edit2: Genuinely curious, in your head, why would someone post something shilling for fossil fuels in the Green Energy community?

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

In a way, it assumes that we keep capitalism as it is. It assumes that all the polluters are honest about the numbers they make public on their pollution. It assumes that politicians are mainly looking to do public good and not that they are lobbied and funded by the big corporations. At least, that's how it sounds to me.

It does no such thing

It does not talk about the systemic changes needed. We run on a model that has eternal growth as a fundamental thing. This is not sustainable by definition. Solutions need to address that, unfortunately this video doesn't.

You either didn't watch the video or there's a language barrier, because what? Are you confusing this with another video?

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

We only need to replace a third of them, here's why and then spends the whole video explaining.

It's too early for this. Have a good day.

Summary from Gemini
Summary from Gemini

The video is about the new features of Android 15, also known as Android 15 Vanilla Ice-cream. Here is a summary of the video:

Design and Customization:

  • The Android logo is now a triangular shape with a small spaceship in the middle.
  • You can save app pairs in split-screen mode.
  • The volume panel has a new design with thicker pill-shaped sliders and lets you access extra features like audio picker and live caption.
  • Pixel launcher got improvements in the widgets panel. You can now get more recommendations and the ability to add widgets with a single tap.

Functionality:

  • Private space: This feature allows you to download new apps and save files that are separate from your main storage. You can access it with a passcode or Biometrics.
  • Archive apps: You can now archive apps to free up space while still keeping parts of the app so that you can reinstall it faster in the future.
  • Satellite messaging: This feature is available for T-Mobile users for now. It allows you to text anyone including emergency services even in remote areas.
  • Bluetooth will automatically turn on again the very next day if you turn it off. This is because of the new Find My Device Network that uses Bluetooth to help locate lost devices.
  • You can now use your Android device as a webcam with high-quality mode.
  • You can set a default wallet app other than Google Wallet.
  • Improved lock screen options on Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet.
  • You can now check the health of your storage chip on Pixel devices.
  • More control over what happens when you fold or unfold the Pixel Fold device.
  • Predictive back gestures: When you swipe to go back, you will see a sneak peek of the previous page.

Other Features:

  • Improved desktop mode with features like split-screen and freeform windows.
  • New keyboard features including preview, sticky keys, slow keys, and bounce keys.
  • New screen saver that lets you control all of your Smart Home Products.
  • Color contrast option to adjust the contrast of the text, buttons, and icons.
  • Audio sharing: This feature lets others listen to the same music that you're listening to on their headphones.
  • Adaptive timeout: This feature automatically turns off your screen a bit earlier than what you set it to if it finds out that you're not using your device.
  • App quarantine: This feature lets you quarantine apps so that they won't be able to show notifications or run in the background.
  • Option to disable limiting the default frame rate for games.

Please Recommend An Alternative To Solid Explorer

I use Solid Explorer a lot. I use it mostly to transfer files from my phone to my Samba network storage. However, in the past couple days, this has randomly stopped working for Solid Explorer and I can no longer connect to my NAS as a guest. I've confirmed that it's a Solid Explorer problem by connecting with Material Files and...

Appears to be more modern than Total Commander, but no Material You support.

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

Thanks for the suggestion

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

This might be the best suggestion, outside of the Material Files workaround, yet.
