The thing is that the screw-and-hook coupler is absolutely not optimal. People are run over during shunting every year. A fully automatic coupler was devised in 1904 by Karl Scharfenberg, and it’s now used on almost all modern passenger trains. Using it on cargo trains would require retrofitting all carriages in the entirety of the European Single Market.

It’ll be sad to see them go, but finally there will be some use for the accessible infrastructure, especially on the S32 branch.

There is more to a distro, including infrastructure. Omarchy (mostly) piggybacks off of Arch’s repositories, but also forums and I think even mirrors, which is explicitly against the rules.

It’s amazing how we live in a society that has landed men on the moon, a helicopter on Mars and can build cars that see the road using artificial eyes, yet the state of the art way of re-sorting freight trains is still slowly pushing them down a hill and paying people to recouple them (often using screw-and-hook couplers, a design from the 19th century) and manually connect brake hoses. There’s no electrical connection to be made, everything is simple pneumatics, and the “rear lights” are reflective signs.

It’s illegal to make a car that measures the speed too low, so there’s quite a bit of tolerance there as well.

At least in Germany, and many other countries, the organizer is the state (and only the state, other lotteries are outlawed), and the profits are used for public benefit.

EFI has a mechanism for filesystem drivers, and the EfiFs project provides a lot of them under the GPL.

Hey, don’t talk about the Austrians like that. They might sound a bit funny, but they are honorable Europeans. Regards, a German

Favorites on Mastodon also work as upvotes iirc. No downvotes tho

There was a LEGO Ideas KSP proposal.

Those suck even more

You will certainly not regret the IP4X hunk of plastic as big as a baby’s fist!

Isn’t the socket turned off?

Japanese outlets don’t even have a ground pin, only live and neutral. While that’s not a problem on low-voltage or plastic devices, it can be shockingly (haha) dangerous in combination with metal casings.

Unfortunately, if your software doesn’t explicitly filter them out, it clutters your timeline beyond recognition.

It’d be redundant. Why not just have it appear on all timelines? And it does … if a Lemmy user puts hashtags in it, or somebody for some reasons follows a Lemmy community, or if someone quote-boosts it (I don’t know if Mastodon allows it, but Misskey probably would) with the right hashtags.

Peertube actually maps to Mastodon quite well. You can follow channels, and every time they post a new video, you get a small (or not) post with the video title, description and hashtags, and a link to watch the video on the original instance.

I would really be fine following some Lemmy communities on Mastodon, but the Lemmy developers have made the absurd choice to have a community reblog every single comment made on one of its posts. Why??? Threadiverse users don’t see it like that, they just see the posts.

Ghostty is actually slop. I went through the recent commit history. Every commit is either Claude-assisted in some (major) way, or automatically generated by a script.

It’s really obvious that it’s imperialist propaganda. But maybe that even makes this post a bit better. Would you rather like Uncle Sam conscripting you as a “Call to Action” image?
