The more you research a specific topic the worse Wikipedia seems as a source. For a general overview before writing a paper and starting real research? It's great.

For actually researching and compuiling that paper? Terrible. The Wikipedia editors are people too and they cant know everything.

I love Wikipedia and have donated and will donate again but looking back on it there's a reason that most schools don't let you source it as Wikipedia and make you look at the actual sources that Wikipedia uses.

if people aren't evactuating they are going to get more deadly. On top of that increased frequency means less time for areas that are affected to recover before the next one hits. Florida could very well end up effectively uninhabitable due to how many of even "minor" ones they are getting.

How many YouTube competitors have risen up and died since it first started? PeerTube is fine but there's no AdSense so the really big an medium sized ones won't move over. There aren't enough viewers for sponsorships to be worth while so it's purely passion that will drive people to upload onto it, which is great but it basically limits the uploads to people who are techy enough or care enough about decentralization to go out of their way to not get payed.

They can only do work if the courts are actually following the law.

People will say they aren't but the national gaurd listens more to the federal government than the state when it all comes down to it.

The war is over but battles still rage on. Some people really hate the concept of standardization.

I give it 2 years before they have rolling blackouts daily. The grid is already struggling and they are not making it better.

That blame is easily shifted because the Republicans just let infrastructure crumble and keep the same budget. When dems up the taxes to pay for the infrastructure its clearly their fault.

How the hell do you learn to use nix. I'm not a programer but figured out how to run gentoo just fine with the guide. nixOS feels like I'm in a mirror maze in the dark and the room is rotating.

There's a lot on reddit. Maybe someone should take the journey and inform them of Lemmy.

I've seen mostly around 1/3 which is not nothing.

Usually it works but, every once and a while they have an update that breaks shit but they usually fix it pretty quickly.
