@SorteKanin

This also explains why evaporation cools down (like when you sweat): the molecules with the highest temperature are the ones evaporating, so the average temperature decreases as those high-temperature molecules leave the system. Only the relatively colder molecules are left behind - thus it cools as a whole.

The main principle at work here is the enthalpy of vaporization. When matter changes state, there is an associated amount of energy that is absorbed or released - in the case of vaporization, energy must be absorbed. So when sweat forms on your skin and evaporates, it absorbs heat energy from your body in order to undergo that state change.

For water, the energy involved here is remarkably high, much higher than the energy stored by a few degrees difference in temperature. For example, if you wanted to boil off 1kg of water, it would take about 300 kJ to bring the temperature up to boiling from room temperature and over 2000 kJ to boil it all into steam.

@UrLogicFails Mine go on a corkboard that I hang on the wall. It makes for nice decoration, and I get to admire them whenever I walk past!

A subset of my pins end up on my lanyard when I go to meets/conventions. I have favorites, but I usually rotate between some depending on my mood and what I got recently.

@P4ulin_Kbana @potentiallynotfelix fw = fuck with. It means they like it.

@Gaywallet I have a couple thoughts on this:

  1. This seems like a way that device attestation could worm its way further into our devices. Right now Google is trying to watermark AI-generated photos as AI, but you could easily go the other way - if a photo hasn't been manipulated, it's signed with a key that is locked down to device attestation. What, your phone is rooted? That's kinda suspicious - how am I supposed to know your photos are real?

  2. Short of that, though, I suspect that the most likely consequence of this is the videos will start being increasingly seen as necessary for true proof, since those are harder to fake - for now, at least. And of course, there will be a lot more misinformation on the internet, especially in the short term while awareness of this catches up.

@HawlSera I do recognize that tomboys, buff women, etc are worth representing, (and we should push for their inclusion) but that's not what I'm talking about - I mean people who look like "men" but use pronouns other than he/him.

@HawlSera @chloyster I mean, I absolutely know people who use she/her but present very masc, and vise-versa. They may be relatively uncommon, but so are trans people in general and we're still worth representing. Not to mention non-binary people who have relatively binary gender presentation. Your experience is absolutely not universal.

@chloyster @alyaza I had no idea the series was developed by Humongous! That studio made so many good games that I'm nostalgic for.

@MicroWave

“Why didn't she just keep her job, give us part of the wages to pay somebody else to do it?” he asked. “That is the thing that the hyper-liberalized economics wants you to do. The economic logic of always prioritizing paid wage labor over other forms of contributing to a society is to me ... a consequence of a sort of fundamental liberalism that is ultimately gonna unwind and collapse upon itself.”

“It's the abandonment of a sort of Aristotelian virtue politics for a hyper-market-oriented way of thinking about what's good and what's desirable,” he added. “If people are paying for it and it contributes to GDP and it makes the economic consumption numbers rise, then it's good, and if it doesn't, it's bad ... that's sort of the root of our political problem.”

It's really funny when conservatives are like "See the problem with Wokeness is <describes capitalism>"

@theangriestbird

“Tim Walz is a weird radical liberal,” the MAGA War Room account posted on X, formerly Twitter. “What could be weirder than signing a bill requiring schools to stock tampons in boys' bathrooms?”

It's so funny watching conservatives attempt to turn the"weird" thing around.

@AVincentInSpace @remington The Lemmy devs are infamously difficult to work with. They've repeatedly shown an unwillingness to even acknowledge the existence of the many problems that instance admins face. That has been a big driver in Beehaw's decision to move platforms, not just because of a difference in political views, and they've been pretty open about discussing it. You're way off-base.

@Templa Codidact seems promising in this space. They have a non-profit organization and run on an open-source (but not federated) platform: https://codidact.com/

@kid TL;DR: If you have a secret variable in your CI/CD pipeline and it's written to a file that subsequently gets artifacted, anyone who can access that artifact can also read your secret variable.

Feels like a "no shit" moment but I guess I can see how someone could make this mistake in a more complicated setup than the example in the blog.
