Massachusetts passed a 4% millionaire's tax last year. Now every public school student is going to get free lunch
It's easier to sell a tax hike if you know exactly where it's going :)

Today, Reddit forcibly removed me (and everyone else) as mods of /r/iOSProgramming, a subreddit of about 130k users. I was keeping the sub private / NSFW | Tanner B 🦕🧁 (@[email protected])

So they created a massive vulnerability by misimplementing speculative execution which promised a, what, 10% speed gain tops and now that it was discovered you have to patch it and lose 50%? Genius.

What is Facebook these days? My grandma spends all day on it, she hardly speaks...just swiping...when I sneak a peek, it's just chain-mail-like bullshit one after the other with a few disguised ads for things she can't afford in between...ugh :vomit:

Bikes are actually greener than walking, because if you need to move, they allow you to have a greater daily range for a not much higher footprint (more efficient and 3 times faster).

McConnell on Ukraine proxy war: "We haven’t lost a single American in this war. Most of the money that we spend, is spent on replenishing weapons, so it’s actually employing people here."[paraphrased]

Yep, but could you please edit out the "cuck taking it in the ass" business? "Humiliated" works and doesn't make you sound like a "homophobic trumptard". We're managing to have a civilized discussion here and I don't want to see this devolve more into reddit.

I don't know, I wouldn't like my country invaded by a nuclear power, my house bombed, my family kidnapped and murdered, my workplace destroyed, does anybody in the working class think that helps anyone?

russia can end this whenever they want by restoring Ukraine's territorial integrity, if they think the US is benefiting so much from it at their expense. The US is just making it much harder for russia to reach its maximalist goals: to conquer Ukraine. One of those is a war crime, the other one is supporting international law.

Do they have this saying in France: "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater" ? These days, everyone seems so intent on breaking what we have that at the end I'm not sure what we're going to have left.

Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water
Reply in thread
If this works, it's better than anything we have , which costs grid energy and dumps brine all the same. If anything, the smaller scale makes it easier to distribute and dilute the output brine.

Student project consumes 17% of energy of traditional desalination plants
It's not clear from the article, but if this is a direct solar-to-dessalination I can understand how it uses less energy (why does it use any energy at all?) than other methods with pumps and filters, the issue is rate maybe, but I can't find a paper about this.
Found https://fuelcellsworks.com/news/malaga-students-patent-an-innovative-solar-desalination-system-to-produce-green-hydrogen/ which says it produces 1 cubic meter per day, which is great for small-scale seaside production. Again, I have no access to details of how 1 square meter of sunlight (or more, maybe they use mirrors to concentrate sunlight, it says 9 square meters, as kerfuffle mentioned) can dessalinate 1 cubic meter of water per day, but it's great if it works, just wondering why solar dessalination hadn't been tried to this degree of success before.

I'd rather have a "Would you like to hide all Sports related Content?" button than a "Would you like to hide all NSFW content?" button
I don't think I've seen a single post about sports in Lemmy. Ever. Same with mastodon.
PS: just saw the first sports post about the gunners :/ we're going to need more tools to filter post topics and instances, otherwise it will be impossible to discover anything you're not already subscribed to.
