Technology@lemmy.world•Solar generates more energy than coal in US for 1st timeEnglish
31·4 days agoThis is an often misquoted fact. The study that compared coal and nuclear was only studying air pollutants, and obviously the steam stacks from nuclear reactors don’t have as much radionuclide pollutants as coal. However, the study did not look at other sources like wastewater - which is where most radionuclide pollution from nuclear reactors comes from (along with other sources like spent fuel, casings, and moderator rods).

Technology@lemmy.world•Stanford scientists regrow lost cartilage and reverse arthritis in major breakthroughEnglish
1·4 days agoWell I would argue beta decay is an aging-like property inherent in atoms. Granted, the half-lives are pretty long, but a limit still technically exists in that respect.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Riot embraces generative AI, as it targets "wild and weird" player experiencesEnglish
7·9 days agoProcedurally generated incoherent non-permanence slop. Like playing some sort of 90s techno music video minus the campiness. Check out Google Genie for an example.
Yes and that’s exactly why I use this place. I don’t want another Reddit. I want a space where a different viewpoint can be fostered.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•I’m driving less. I don’t want to see the world through a driver’s eyes any moreEnglish
1·24 days agoPeople need to demand more out of their municipal leaders. Public transport and pedestrian infrastructure needs to be higher priority. Social spaces like plazas, markets, and parks should be protected and expanded. Other public infrastructure like schools and hospitals and mom and pop stores should be supported to allow jobs to flourish outside of cities and reduce the need for people to drive if they can’t live in higher density zones. Cars make people miserable, both inside them and outside them. They destroy the environment with their noise, pollution, accidents, and concrete carpeting. They make people lazy and unhealthy. It shouldn’t be our number 1 priority for travel solutions.

People Twitter@sh.itjust.works•Desensitization to gunsEnglish
142·25 days agoAll part of the weapons industry plan. The myth that you need guns to be free, that you need guns to revolt, that the world is full of criminals waiting to launch an attack on your home, that global supply chains and regulations that disseminate the food you buy are not to be trusted and you need to drive 4 hours out of your suburbia to go hunting for meat - all an advertising scheme to sell you metal fireworks toys. Not negating their real utility in niche applications but those applications remain just that - niche. Civilized nations don’t need to kowtow to this predatory industry.


Get rid of the execs and their overinflated salaries/bonuses instead. How’s that for agile?
