World News@lemmy.world•Fatberg the size of four buses likely birthed poo balls that closed Sydney beaches – and it can’t be clearedEnglish
12·16 days agoJust wait until a luxury cruise liner hits it and and gets shit everywhere then they might clean it up.
Like Titanic except they will wish that the ship went down when they are covered in literal months old rancid fat.
I guess I can either wait and see or put the laptop in the microwave
I just pulled a 20yo laptop out of storage and put Linux Mint on it because I was bored. Wifi and USB ports are slow as molasses in winter, but works fine otherwise.

World News@lemmy.world•The long shadow of the one-child policy: China pays for its biggest social experiment with a demographic crisisEnglish
15·21 days agoShort version - there’s too many elderly people in China and not enough working age so the economy is suffering. So they changed it to max of 3 but people aren’t interested in having more than one. This will take a long time to recover from. As their society has seen a drastic disparity in age and sex, the importance of women to societal growth means that women have more bargining power to push for woman’s rights. While India continues to breed like rabbits.
As a side thought, I wonder if this will push China to take drastic measures rather than see their country wither away.

Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•“This is what I voted for?”: Trump supporter loses farm and income to tariffs, only to be mocked onlineEnglish
91·22 days agoWhy is he upset? Doesn’t he know that this is what he voted for? He got what he wanted.
I guess he’s just as surprised that Trump did what he said he was going to.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Maybe the RAM shortage will make software less bloated?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Maybe the RAM shortage will make software less bloated?
201·1 month agoThe “shortage” is temporary and artificial, so that’s a hard NO. The ram shortage doesn’t present any incentive to make apps more efficient because the hardware and software that is already in people’s homes won’t be effected by the shortage and people who currently use the software won’t be affected by the shortage. The very small percentage of people that will be affected by the temporary shortage wouldn’t justify making changes to software that is currently in development.
There’s no incentive for software companies to make their code more efficient until people stop using their software so stop using it and it will get better. Just as an example Adobe reader is crap, just straight up garbage, but people still use it so the app stopped getting improvements many years ago. Then Adobe moved to a subscription based system, and cloud service for selling your data but guess what, it’s still the same app that it was 10 years ago, just more expensive.
Haven’t seen this meme in a while. Next we will see the Kinder Surprise meme.
Also a if a 16oz cup is filled to the top with ice then it’s about 8oz of liquid before the ice melts. So this meme is for spreading ignorance for a laugh or a marketing scheme to convince Americans to by smaller cups without lowering the price.
