  • New York Approves $1 Billion Underwater Gas Pipeline After 3 Rejections | The contentious proposal, previously rebuffed by state regulators who expressed environmental concerns, was deemed acceptable

    Jump

  • Weird they would go through with spending a billion on this after banning "fossil fuel equipment" in all new construction recently. I wonder if the old pipelines were in bad shape or something?

  • TUXEDO Unveils InfinityBook Max 15: A Linux Laptop with Ryzen AI 9

  • Framework, but their laptops are also about twice as expensive as equivalent models from other brands.

    Eh, I just ran some comparisons and Framework is only about $100 more than the cheapest equivalent in another brand with the same CPU/Memory. $200 more with Windows.

  • From their website:

    Computers, notebooks, PCs and laptops from TUXEDO Computers are not mass-produced or off-the-shelf. Each device is individually assembled, installed, configured and tested for you.

  • I get what you're saying is a joke, but most people don't know about Newpipe or whatever the current alternative app is, and soon most people won't be able to sideload anyway when Google makes it's changes to Android.

    It's not good that Google/Meta are exposing these people to scammed for the crime of simply for not knowing how to sideload.

  • If you open YouTube shorts in a new account or an account that doesn't store history the ads are nearly exclusively AI slop scams. This is not just a Meta issue.

  • This refreshingly innovative smartphone brand has entered the US

    Jump

  • Ah that's a bummer. Pixel makes the most sense as long as they continue to be easily unlocked. But it would be nice to have a more ethical/sustainable hardware option with privacy.

  • I wonder if Graphene plans to support them because then it will absolutely be my next device

  • What distro do you install on other's computers?

  • If they are coming from Windows: Kinoite

    If they are coming from Macintosh: Silverblue

  • Props to you for putting together posts like this!

  • Is there a selfhosted option for webcomics?

    Jump

  • Kapowarr is for comic books, OP is looking for comic strips.

    That said it should be great for finding collected editions.

  • Good advices

    Jump

  • Yeeeeah this is the takeaway for me. A lot of those posts are just GPT slop churned out to karma farm.

  • Oof $4300 USD. Though I suppose if you're replacing a car (which it looks like you could do with this one) it's justifiable.

  • Ah I missed that. That's great! I should look into it.

  • /r/RedditAlternatives - "I like the idea of the fediverse but it's never gonna get popular."

    Jump

  • Happy to see that it's getting downvoted.

  • Automated dishwasher state

    Jump

  • So the automation is triggered if the power draw is above a certain amount? I assume there is a smart plug? Or is it a dishwasher with Wifi? Forgive me still learning how these things work.

  • 'The Truth Is Paywalled.' Internet Vets Lament the State of the 'Open' Web

    Jump

  • Yeah exactly, well said. I think for a lot of people the advent of paywalls felt like taking away a free thing, instead of a return to the norm. Personally when it comes to journalism I prefer a paywall to advertiser-supported.

  • 'The Truth Is Paywalled.' Internet Vets Lament the State of the 'Open' Web

    Jump

  • The argument that paywalls somehow ruin the open parts of the Web always fell flat for me. It is trivial to contribute to the Web for free if one wishes. Nobody is forced to paywall their content.
