onlinepersona@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•UK plan to digitise wills and destroy paper originals "insane" say expertsEnglish01·2 years agoWhat the article doesn’t reveal is how they want to digitise this stuff and where it’ll be stored. Will it be on IPFS? On a blockchain? A public cloud like AWS where the bill might jump unexpectly to more than 4.5M pounds a year?
It might be an OK idea, but it feels like this will be horribly bungled.

onlinepersona@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•Scientists successfully replicate historic nuclear fusion breakthrough three timesEnglish01·2 years agoUnlimited for our current needs or on a planetary scale, but nowhere near enough at the scale of a solar system of galaxy. I doubt it would be enough energy to for example open a wormhole or accelerate a spaceship to even 1/3 of light-speed. Not only is the amount important, but also the ability to sustain the output.
We’ll just be on the first rung of the Kardashev scale. Of 3. However, the jumps between the rungs are huge (logarithmic). Complete control of planet, star, galaxy.

onlinepersona@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•Spotify doesn't make profit from music streaming, despite having over 400M monthly active users, because it pays two-thirds of all its revenue to the rights holders.English0·2 years agoFor a company that has revolutionized the music industry and changed the way we listen to music, one would expect Spotify to be making a lot of money.
How has spotify “revolutionized” the music industry? Are thy doing anything new? Streaming isn’t new, yearly reviews aren’t new, freemium isn’t new, discovery isn’t new… Is the revolution that it’s now a standard target for artists?

onlinepersona@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•How Reddit Crushed the Internet's Largest ProtestEnglish0·2 years agoThis video is from August. Doesn’t reddit still have millions of users? There’s still bots copying content from there onto the fediverse and the number of active users on the threadiverse is dropping. 40k or so? That’s a drop in the bucket.
It doesn’t feel to me like anything changed besides there being more lemmy users.

onlinepersona@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•Japanese experimental nuclear fusion reactor inauguratedEnglish1·2 years agoAfter what the USAians achieved with a net positive output, hopefully they can match and surpass that. Fusion is one of the few technologies that can get us to 1 on Kardashev scale.
onlinepersona@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•Paris mayor quits X platform, calling it a ‘gigantic global sewer’English1·2 years agoThe German ministry for data protection and information security aka BfDI (yeah, it’s a mouth full) has one https://social.bund.de/
So has the Dutch government: https://social.overheid.nl/
And the EU has an official one too https://social.network.europa.eu
Dunno if there are more. Maybe the French, Italians and Spanish do too. Maybe a list of governmental mastodon instances would be nice.

onlinepersona@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fishEnglish0·2 years agoSince I can’t read clojure: does this proxy or does it download the videos and serve them? I imagine the latter, but is there a limit? For example VPSs have tiny drives (10GB, 20GB, etc.) with a LRU cache it would be possible to use this on those things, but even on bigger hard drives, the videos have to get cleaned up eventually.
Is this still an achievement? When did the first person land on the moon? Like 30 years ago? 40?
