The day my modded Relay client dies will be a sad day. Lemmy is great but sadly a bunch of communities didn’t make the leap here.

My buddy works there now, as the audiobook company he worked for got acquired by them.
You would be shocked how stupid and manual the content acquisition process is. Book publishers might as well still be operating back in the 90s, it’s all phone calls and spreadsheets attached to the emails and manual FTP uploads.
If the music business is anything like the audiobook business they likely need so many non IT just to keep the machine fed with content.
I think it’s very much a “you get what you pay for” thing. Cheap Dells are cheap. The XPS line is not cheap. I’ve had two XPS 13s now, and the build quality is top notch. And easy to open up and work on.
There’s a bunch of different package managers too. It all just kinda works.
Flatpack isn’t without its own quirks and flaws. There is no One True Way. Being open-source, there shouldn’t be one.
It is definitely slow though, mostly on first run.
PWAs still lock you into the Chrome ecosystem since Firefox doesn’t support them (without plugins and pain).
Vast majority are obese, close enough to infirm.
I think the public perception would sway considerably when weapon grade material is no longer a possibly byproduct
This is unfortunately something that a layperson who’s unfamiliar with the tech will always have a hard time understanding. I don’t think any reactor built in the US for power generation could ever be used to make weapons grade plutonium. From what I’ve read we only build light water reactors here, which aren’t good for such things. But how many regular folks take the time to learn about all the different types of reactors and how they work and what they’re good for? I only did it because the history of nuclear tech intrigues me.
and the worst case scenario drops from a quarantine zone several square miles to power plant just going into lockdown for a few weeks
Similar to above. These new reactors coming online are Gen III reactors, and have passive cooling features, so Fukushima-like events shouldn’t be able to happen anymore. But again, few people I think take the time to learn about this stuff at all.
It doesn’t help either that regulatory capture has caused old Gen II designs without the passive cooling backups continue to get their licenses extended. Accidents will continue to be bad until we retire the ancient reactors, and start replacing the with new ones that have the benefit of half a century of operational experience and manufacturing advancements to inform their designs to be safer.
Yeah but the 5 Eyes and their friends are everywhere outside of the CCPs borders. So if they really don’t want to let the US have that algorithm, and probe the interfaces the CCP propaganda arm used to access the TikTok backend, there’s few places overall that have a reason to buy it, and can also afford it.
