3·1 month agoThere is quite a bit of evidence that the notion it was necessary for a Japanese surrender to nuke them was a fabrication. Two population centers, no less.
Also it was supposed to be Tokyo at first, but some general had been there on vacation and liked it apparently.

Solarpunk technology@slrpnk.net•Goodbye to the idea that solar panels “die” after 25 years. A new study says the warranty does not mark the end, and real-world performance can last for decades

politics @lemmy.world•Spotify to Continue Running ICE Recruitment Ads as Boycotts Grow
4·4 months agoNot sure what app you’re referring to since Deezer just doesn’t have that feature.

4·4 months agoI’m looking for something that does multi-device remote control similar to how Spotify does. Deezer just cancels playback on the other device.

3·5 months agoNo it doesn’t, slavery wastes an insane amount of potential. And this is far more about automation.
