Larry Finger, your work has made a significant positive impact on my life and I’m sure many others. Thank you.

Now can you work on a driver to allow communication between the living and the dead?

I think the key would be to not use any additional resources to grow, harvest, etc.

This could be done for example by landscaping companies that put their waste through a retort (which could be anything from a stove made of mud bricks, to a mobile trailer that does on-site pyrolysis and use the resulting biochar to fertilize their customer’s plants. Farms could put their waste through it, innoculate the biochar with animal waste, and use it as fertilizer.

I make biochar from my backyard waste in my firepit using a can like this guy.

Any other method of carbon capture I’ve ever heard about makes no sense. Having hundreds of engineers and workers drive to work for years to engineer and build giant metal and plastic factory/machines with parking lots that require staff that has to drive and park there, etc is nonsense. And even if they work, what would they do with the carbon? Biochar provides a cycle that is accessible to everyone, can be done on-site, uses no fancy technology, nothing is patented, and doesn’t require all this nonsense.

Biochar (created in a retort) is how you sustainably sequester carbon for the long-term using trees (and similar biomass).

Nope, been thinking about what it would take to make one though.

So only the lucky unfit sperm destined to produce one who wears a red cap will be able to successfully fertilize the egg?

It’s time to return to human curated directories.

Seriously: I don’t think the cost benefit is there to intentionally make a maneuver like this.

You might be right

They can’t let short-term greed get in the way of long-term greed!

lol

So are you saying that they suffered from a filesystem bug that caused deletion failure? I’d imagine they use standard filesystems on their backend, I haven’t heard about any bugs like this.

If you ask me, what’s more likely, that a company known for shitty behavior lies about deleting files so they can continue to use that information to profit, – OR – that they are experiencing a filesystem bug on their backend, I’ll choose the former.

But clearly the data is not overwritten and this was intentional. How do I know? Because that would amount to a massive amount of data, if it was de to a bug in Apple software or underlying filesystems, it would be detected in monitoring systems “Hey, we’re using 10x the data we should be, maybe we should look into it”.

The mistake was in the flag code that was supposed to fool us.

Nothing sinister, we just don’t delete what we say we delete. Instead we keep it in your profile to feed the algorithms and set the “deleted” flag to make you think it’s gone.

I care, and so do many others, it happens to some with empathy when they grow out of their preteen years.

Because if I do, then that proves Gnome is terrible and all the devs should drive off a cliff?

See, this is a good comment. You like KDE more, awesome! Enjoy! Your attitude makes me want to try it again.

If we lost the open source community will have gained.

I find some software annoying too but I’m not 12 so I don’t feel the need to shit on people volunteering their time to make software for people.

Gnome devs seem to just be red hat employees who don’t actually care about making a good DE

But Gnome is a great DE, I’ve used it as a daily driver for personal and at work for many years. I can’t say I have any major complaints. What’s so terrible about Gnome?

I don’t care what people like, I don’t like people shitting on open source projects and dividing the community.

I don’t see Gnome fans brigading KDE threads and circlejerking about KDE being awful and the devs being cunts.

I’m a Gnome user for like 20 years, I don’t prefer KDE but glad it’s there. I never have but would be happy to support KDE and understand any devs being cunts on occasion, I’m sure it’s stressful. I’m glad they are there so I don’t have to use proprietary software.

People shitting on Gnome sound like kids bitching that the free pizza shop doesn’t offer your favorite hamburger.

Also, all this sudden Gnome hate all over Lemmy is trendy as fuck, being trendy used to mean you were a loser with no original style, I guess the capitalists turned it into “viral” and made it cool.

You can use the parted module for partitioning

Format with BTRFS or many others
