Not saying I disagree, but out of curiosity I looked up the yield of a conventional strawberry field, which is apparently 15-25 tons per hectare, or 11-18% of your threshold.
I agree that this would likely never be economically viable for strawberries, as I imagine it’d cost way more than £1M for a “hectares worth” of this setup.
More importantly, I don’t consider strawberries vital to our food security, unlike Dyson
Most of their quotes come from this Ono guy…
Ono, who is also a freelance mathematical consultant for Epoch AI.
Ahhh, there it is.
There’s something chilling about an expert being asked if a statement represents their opinion, them saying “no”, then the statement appearing regardless but attributed to “some experts”
Its actually GNU image manipulation program, so pretty much.
Or “Green Is My Pepper” if you ask RMS…
Just to lob a controversial thought in there: There may be some challenges the game industry faces that aren’t solely “capitalism bad”. The most compelling one I’ve heard is that, as games as a medium they have to increasingly compete with a growing back catalogue of classics.
Between that and the rise of indie games, it gets increasingly risky to invest in large projects.
(To try and preempt some comments: I am not saying that investors are “right” to pull out of the games industry. I just want people to consider whether the problem, and hence the solution, is more complicated than they first thought)
There’s a river Foss that runs through York. Brings a new meaning to sending patches upstream…
Yeah, I’m leaning toward this option tbh.
If we got to the point where popular machines had custom images with all the necessary extra drivers etc, it might be a value add. But for now I’m not seeing a huge benefit
Yeah, thinking I might have to do something similar to start the services after login. Unfortunately they need to run as root, so it’ll be tricky to avoid having a second password prompt every time I login
Some updates after sleeping on it and trying some morning debugging:
Maybe it’s time to go back to debian…
Keep the files in a dedicated torrents folder then make symlinks to where you actually want them?
Be aware there are basically two different things called Owncloud. There’s still the original php version, which is similar to nextcloud but worse (not open source, smaller plugin ecosystem I think)
On the other hand is owncloud “infinite scale” (or ocis). This is the thing entirely written in go. But as others have pointed out, it’s little more than a file server at this point.
IMO the self-hosting community is really missing a self-contained “all the DAVs” server (files, calendar, contacts). Baikal etc seem like a great start, but it would be great to have somewhere to get those parts pre-assembled. Until then, nextcloud works for me.
Its called “modern standby” or something, and is the main option for suspending windows laptops I believe
Are there any new features in particular you’re hoping for?
For me, those two are the only things I can remember thinking it would be nice to have. Q
I agree, but my point was that cost isn’t a sufficient explanation.
I think I particularly agree with @megopie@beehaw.org: one reason we see photo-realism instead of more stylised graphics is that it is more generic, and thus less dependent on a specific team.
The more artistic/creative your work, the less interchangeable your workers are.
But you could also make the same argument about graphical fidelity, which has been pushed further and further for decades, greatly swelling the cost of production
Green is my pepper… If you know what I mean… 😏
For me it becomes an issue when I try to make decisions from my character’s perspective. If I try to lean into the RP part of RPG then I often feel like I have to leave a load of content behind because it just wouldn’t be a high priority.
I agree with the FO1 timer though. I ended up beelining to the necropolis and got trapped in an endgame bunker because I didn’t want that timer hanging over me.
Obviously there’s a lot of caveats about how representative this survey (or any other survey) is of the broader population, but I think this is a good reminder of how weird we all are. Nobody on here claims to use Ubuntu or Manjaro, yet they are more popular than Fedora (and potentially even arch, when steam decks are discounted).
There’s nothing wrong with that, I love the weirdness of the Lemmy Linux community! I just always think it’s good to appreciate when opinions (like my love of ublue) aren’t as popular as you think they are.
You know, the more I think about this, the more I bristle at Dyson claiming this will solve Britain’s food security problem.
Firstly, this kind of system seems limited to small cash crops rather than staple foods. (Good luck growing wheat on these.)
More importantly, Dyson has personally done far more to harm British food security than this gadget could offset. He was an ardent Brexiteer, which resulted in substantial barriers to importing food from our closest neighbors. (He also then immediately started relocating his business to Singapore in a stunning show of confidence in post-Brexit Britain)
These people don’t want to save the world. They just want to look like heroes
