While it does track high population areas, it’s important to monitor how it spreads. There’s some blips showing up in the ocean where obviously nobody lives. Maps like these could give us information about not only the biggest polluters, but the downstream recipients of said pollution.

I’ve also heard of new efforts starting to be used on a local level to identify exact sources of pollution more recent, original study I saw. I’m hopeful that new data being fed into those models, from satellites like this, will help identify individual culprits of specific pollution faster. I’m really thinking of areas where’s there’s dozens of companies and all are following the rules and operating responsibly, but one is cheating. I want to find that cheating one ASAP and put an end to the cheating.

Agreed. Any rules or regulations for a federated network would likely need to be new legislation (if it's really even needed at all).

Sounds like it only affects services with 45 million or more members. Lemmy should be safe for a while :P

Agreed. I never really can understand why companies wage wars on modding communities. They're not giving away the game or costing money. In many cases they're doing free work that encourages even more sales.

Yea, I'm not really sure what is to be gained by going after something that's strictly scientific and really only stands to benefit us all.

A few months from now the headline will be: "Microsoft to Buy Ubisoft"

I've been using the HL-L8360 for a few years and I still haven't had to replace the cartridges it came with. Gone through probably 8-10 reams of paper in that time. The starter cartridges are the smallest of the three sizes too, so when they go I'll just buy the big ones and probably be good for a half decade or more haha!

If you're looking for something a little cheaper, you could look into something like the HLL3210. I'm not sure which is true laser and which is LED, but usually the inexpensive ones are LED and not true laser printers. Really that only matters if you're looking for that extra-crisp text from a laser printer. For day-to-day printing you'll never care or notice.

I’ve been using brother laser printers for over 15 years now. Toner is very reasonably priced from them and lasts forever. Plus, no sketchy things like forced registration.

Would it be possible to add support for transparency in the avatars? Especially the one at the bottom of the app. Mine (and I know others do too) has a bunch of transparent pixels that show up as white in this app but look normal on the web version of Lemmy.

Yea, there's clearly something misconfigured over on kbin at the moment. Might be worth pinging one of the people that runs it.

[–] fry@fry.gs 1 points 1 year ago

I think there's some issue with people on kbin seeing wrong images. Probably a question for the server admins over there. It's normal on three of the Lemmy instances I checked on.

Yea, there's definitely some weird bug for some of the users. I just see the normal image from the article. I tried on lemm.ee and also just see the normal image.
