Na, we should get rid of that idea completely. If everyone used one time like UTC (other time zones are available) and just align your working hours etc to your location.

Then 14:00 is 14:00 everywhere, just that some are asleep then, others are awake!

That’s always been true of city warfare though. Tanks are not designed for that.

That requires lots of cropland though. Hydrogen can effectively be made by offshore wind farms etc.

It might work if we reduce standard fuel requirements for cars etc enough.

Electricity has been around that long too though, yet there are no serious electric passenger planes (with a decent range)

It has it’s flaws, but it may have a higher ceiling in terms of usefulness. They say they can make it work, which is more than I hear about electric planes for example.

We should be financially encouraging 0 carbon planes, without controlling how, then let the engineers work what tech to do it with.

What are the other 0 carbon flight options? They are all flawed.

We can engineer our way through flaws with enough effort though.

…then there should be regulatory actions to help make them viable

Wait, really?

So you need a visa to transit through the US?

Founded in Poland. Now majority owned by a UK headquartered investment company. It does look like they have a US hq too though? I assume that’s to help with US content licenses and other US business?

All the ones I have had have been shipped from Poland.

They only do metal posters, but pretty cool: https://displate.com/

It’s actually owned by a British company (Unilever) but they have been going down the pan themselves.

If anything, it’s way easier to control what your employees see if they are on a company instance.

…that was entirely my point.

Also, which company uses Reddit as their forum?

lots of small apps, orgs, communities etc just have a subreddit and a discord server. Lots of bigger companies have official or semi-official subreddits.

We’re all a big community. I think people get this quickly.

Someone wanting to get support for their hoover or something may not. they create an account to discuss the pros and cons of certain hoover and see loads of random stuff about American politics and Linux. Their going to get real confused. Most people have heard of reddit now though (and to a lesser extent discord)

In fact defederation is a negative since now you have to worry about new signups, moderation, etc. While in a federated instance, you can leave moderation to other instances and only allow team/company members on your instance.

They are going to moderate their communities, if its unfederated, you don’t have to worry about moderating (or the lack of) on any other instances communities at all.

Users can sign up on other instances and still be able to interact with your instance for support, help and other stuff.

Thats going to be too confusing for a lot of users - they just want to sign up and complain about/discuss things.

It depends if they are saying, we have a community on lemmy (federation fine) or saying, here is our official forum thing (federation bad)

Possibly, is Mbin basically a single instance like kbin was?

If you are a company looking for a forum, you want to be able to control it. Unfederated means you can control account access and don’t have to worry about someone going to All and seeing porn etc.

Federated could work, but you need to make it clear that it’s just a community on a platform.

You could force latest comment sort on the posts, but leave the comments sorting to the user.

The Reddit style voting/threading is superior of forums though.

An unfederated Lemmy instance for example would actually be really good.

You can hear to some level, the boats and actions in the vicinity of the cable. So it might provide evidence in case of a break.

It also lets you know if the cable is moving round on the seabed etc, this is useful as it can cause wear.

I seem to remember it being used to check the health of power cables too (they have fibre cables embedded within them)

Look at mostly indexes rather than managed funds. Much lower fees for normally more performance.

Take a look at some whole Europe indexes (check where management is based if that matters) looking at their descriptions/top 10s to see what/where they are actually investing in.

That will mostly get you the big European conglomerates though, you may then have to look into country specific indexes to get the smaller cap companies.

You don’t have to put everything in one basket. Check the buy/sell fees if any and the min investment, you may be able to put €200 in 10 different funds/indexes. (No point if they all invest in the same thing though)
