NOS.nl kijken in het buitenland met VPN
  • Dank voor de reacties trouwens. Ben blij dat er gewoon een Nederlandse gemeenschap is buiten Reddit.

    Jammer alleen dat ik in de reacties m'n anonieme account voor altijd heb gekoppeld met mijn niet-anonieme account.

  • How much CO2 has been emitted in my lifetime?

    For some years now, I have seen this graph go around on social media. I think it's a powerful image, because it shows us so clearly that it is happening in our lifetime and under our watch.

    But when I use it in my work, I always add the disclaimer the the graph does not show when it was made.

    Because that is a problem: the graph might show us that if you are currently 30 years old, 50% of all the CO2 that has been emitted since 1751 has been emitted in your lifetime. But that percentage changes over time.

    By now, for people who are currently 30, the percentage will be higher, simply because the annual emissions have gone up since the graph was made.

    So I made a new version of the graph, the interactive version of which you can find here: http://mishathings.org:8050/

    I wrote a post about this: https://mishathings.org/2024-08-12-how-much-co2-has-been-emitted-in-my-lifetime.html

    NOS.nl kijken in het buitenland met VPN

    Heeft iemand van jullie ervaring met het kijken van video's op NOS.nl in het buitenland? Ik betaal me blauw aan Expressvpn, maar geen enkele Nederlandse server wordt geaccepteerd door NOS.

    Dit is heel belangrijk voor me, want ik wil graag de video zien van dit artikel: https://nos.nl/artikel/2533363-olympisch-comite-australie-hekelt-pesten-van-breakdancer

    Use VPS/PC on phone

    I love how I can customize my PC/VPS (Linux), and I feel truly at home. I hate smartphones (iPhone and Android). I hate it how limited I am in configuring them, and it's a PITA to make sure it all syncs with my main computer.

    Why isn't it much more common to just use our phones as little windows/gateways to our actual computers? Using something like VCN? Internet speeds should be fast enough?

    We could even build a little interface that makes it easier to navigate?

    I made a song and a videoclip of random plant growth

    1. Every step there is a 60% chance a random branch dies. But one branch always remains.
    2. Every step there is a 50% chance that a random branch sprouts a new branch.
    3. Branches move away from their nearest neighbour and don't like to be close to the edges.

    Two comments with the same url (ID)?

    I was trying to link to one of these specific comments, when I found out that the one next to it has the same url. Is this supposed to happen? https://mander.xyz/comment/717587

    How does Jerboa sort comments?

    On the web version of Lemmy I can choose different ways of sorting comments, but in Jerboa there are no options for this?

    Hello everyone!
  • Hi there! Great that you're here. Among other things, I would be curious to read about what is happening in your corner of the world. For instance in terms of biodiversity and attempts to map/protect it.

  • A Day on Earth Used to Only Be 19 Hours
  • There is interesting correspondence about this between Newton and Burnet, as documented by Gould in his 1987 "Time's arrow, Time's cycle":

    Newton suggested to Burnet that "the paradox of creation in but six days might be resolved by arguing that the earth rotated much more slowly then, producing a "day" of enormous extent."

    To which Burnet incredulously responded "But if the revolutions of the earth were thus slow at first, how came they to be swifter? From natural causes or supernatural?"

    Burnet also objected that long early days would stretch the lives of patriarchs even beyond the already problematical 969 of Methuselah and his compatriots—and that while organisms might enjoy sunny days of such extended length, the long nights might become unbearable: "If the day was thus long what a doleful night would there be".

    Two AskLemmy's?

    Just checking: am I correct that there are two AskLemmy's?

    https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy https://lemmy.world/c/asklemmy

    If so, is there any way to bring communities with the same purpose (or even same name) on different instances together? If not, how can we prevent fragmentation of these communities?
