This is awesome but I don't really understand.

The purported issue is that they don't have explicit consent for some data points. They apparently responded by saying they were going to charge a subscription.

Why wouldn't they just get consent? I'm sure most fb users will just agree to anything put in front of them.

Oh man, in js we have a package for this magic.

I am ideologically opposed to this form of advertising.

Commercial enterprises can do what they want but I don't think it's at all appropriate for a public institution.

This stinks.

Yeah like the other commenter said it's a Remarkable 2.

I've had it for about 2 years. Use it every day. Still going strong. Previously I had notepads everywhere constantly rifling through them.

At the time I bought mine all cloud functionality was free, but since then they've introduced additional cloud stuff with a subscription which is free for me. I personally think it's fair enough but they lost a lot of their die hard followers. You don't need the subscription you just don't get those functions. Probably the only feature I use which is behind the paywall would be screen share. During a video call or teams meeting I can cast the remarkable screen to my desktop so I can draw diagrams. I do this all the freakin time.

what exactly makes him think he’ll be spared?

I don't really know anything about this but... the article says he acknowledges that his own companies are prominent greenhouse gas emitters, he is investing $6b to improve his companies, and that he has large investments in renewables as well.

IDK how true that is, but thats what it says.

Yeah I did kinda choose these switches for this reason, I'm always using this keyboard in shared areas.

This library has signs up saying that it's not a quiet library, noise is permitted and expected. That said the clackety clack would've been a dramatic and unnecessary flex.

Silence is not really a priority, I just don't want to be obnoxiously loud.

There's signs up in this library saying that it's not a quiet area, noise is ok and expected. There are people on the phone / video calls et cetera.

The short answer is no. It doesn't create a static page from lemmy comments. It loads dynamic lemmy comments into static pages.

Just lemmy.

It just pulls comments from a lemmy post.

a lemmy post along with its comments can become static content on a static web page of your choice

This isn't quite right. The "static web page" (the pre-rendered page) doesn't include the Lemmy post or comments. When your browser renders the static page, the browser will then pull down the lemmy comments.

I've never found it so.

I often find it a little small tbh. Can't fit a lot of words on a page. Maybe a third of the content of a4 pad and pen, mostly because I tend to write bigger.

Edit: sorry I thought your comment was about the remarkable. FWIW I don't find the wrist rest too large.

Nah they're gateron reds, not noisy at all.

It's not completely flat, looks like about 8mm on the front edge to maybe 15mm on the back edge.

Gateron Reds

Yeah I'm actually trying to make it a regular Wednesday thing with a group of friends.

Sadly no, it won't help in that way either (although that wasn't the intent).

The lifecycle of a webpage in a browser is something like:

• download page - includes text content, and links to other resources like format, logic (javascript), and images
• start downloading other resources
• render text, and other resources as they arrive
• start manipulating page with javascript, which in this case includes a final step
• download lemmy post and render that, including the post, comments, and a link to the original post.

When google and others crawl the web looking for data to include in search they generally only index content from step 1, so it would only see the parameters passed to LBS (shown as "declaration" in the demo), and would not see anything rendered by LBS.

This is the "static" nature of static sites. The page downloaded by the browser is not built on request, rather it's only built periodically by the author - usually whenever they have an update or another post. I haven't posted anything on my blog in months so the pages wouldn't have been re-built during that time. There are benefits to this strategy in that it's very secure, very robust, very fast, and very easy to host, but the disadvantage is that any dynamic or "up to date content" (like comments from lemmy) need to be prepared by the client and thus can not be included in step one above and indexed in search.

There is a best of both worlds approach (SSR) where you could render all the comments when a page is originally built, and then update it when the client later renders the page. This means there's at least something for search indexers to see even if it's not up to date. The problem here is that there's a plethora of different engines which people use to build pages and I can't make a plugin for all or even a few of them.

With all that in mind, this is fantastic feedback, and why I posted this pre-alpha demo. Lots of commenters have said the same thing. I can re-factor to at least make SSR easier.

It's not all bad news.

West Aus is getting big into renewable hydrogen. Basically using solar farms to crack hydrogen from sea water.

Last time I read up about it there were three new cracking facilities under development.

The whole process seems so magical to me as a non-science person, basically selling sun & sea water as a form of energy that for all intents and purposes has no waste products.

You're right, this tool isn't designed to address this problem and is ill-suited.

Lemmy should definitely render a static page and then "hydrate" that with JavaScript in the client. This is a common problem with modern js apps. SSR (server side rendering) is the solution but it can be very complex. You really need to build the whole app with SSR in mind, it's not really something to bolt on as an additional feature at the end.

I'm not so certain. Abbott was the same, but the relentless attack politics resonated with older Australians.

Amaze!

Well done!
