Though after they killed him, they buried his body at sea at an undisclosed location, to prevent it becoming a shrine.

Surely that’d be Osama Bin Laden in this case

In a sustainable world, energy can and should be cheaper than raw materials. We are only harvesting a tiny fraction of the solar energy hitting the earth, to say nothing of wind and geothermal power. Rolling out more renewables and energy storage and using some of the surplus power to switch from extracting new resources to recycling our waste would greatly lower our footprint.

It was probably used for religious purposes of some sort

I wonder who’ll end up buying the archive.org domain and what they’ll use it for

That looks like an Iain Banks non-sci-fi book jacket

So, like the screen in the PlayDate?

Both of these services appear to be dependent on BlueSky. I.e., if BlueSky ceased existing, or cut them off from its API, they’d die. In that way, they’re not that different from “Log in with Facebook” or similar.

One could theoretically make one’s own independent AT Protocol network, but not in a way that interoperates with BlueSky as a peer. You’re either a subsidiary part of its network or you don’t exist as far as it’s concerned, which is a much poorer value proposition than ActivityPub and related protocols.

No, because the AT Protocol is not designed for interoperability, but rather for entrenching the silo owned by the main node (BlueSky) whilst giving the illusion of being decentralised. It’s to decentralised social media what Microsoft’s OOXML file format (tl;dr: a memory dump of Microsoft Word’s internal data structures encoded in XML, and useless to anything that’s not Microsoft Word or a very precise emulation thereof) is to open document formats.

There’s an urban legend that koalas spend their entire lives drunk because the eucalyptus leaves they subsist on ferment inside them, though maybe that’s just because they look a bit dopey.

I thought it may have been a more accurate and respectful transcription of the First Nations language the word came from, as opposed to the simplified colonial-era anglicisations, though it being Spanish orthography makes sense.

It does, until you realise that his monstrous wealth insulates him from any consequences, deflecting them onto the heads of mortals. No matter what he does, he’ll be alright.

They call this scenario the Habsburg Singularity

Well, nothing should require employees to be in the office five days a week

Apparently “ahoy” was a common greeting before the telephone was invented, to the point that Alexander Graham Bell suggested it for use when answering the phone.

It might fall into the remit of @enshittification@lemmy.world

He’s hoping that by delivering maximum lulz to 4chan gamergate groyper incel types, they in turn can sweep Trump into the Whitehouse on a tidal wave of shitposts.

If one bums you you end up with a mega sore arse

The enshittification will continue until profits improve

Who does he think he is, Israel?
