I’d suggest EveryDoor instead of streetcomplete as it focuses more on points of intrests

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027)
1·4 months agoAs much as I love RISC-V I’m afraid it will turn just like arm now, the architecture is open but every chipset that came out is not, there isn’t an unified booting standard like UEFI+ACPI for RISC-V
God I hope i’m wrong

3·4 months agoDamn, reddit turned nazi now? I haven’t really paid attention to it for some time, what happened?
Fair point, thing is there just exists a better way of doing small ungrounded plugs like phone chargers, I honestly haven’t used a British phone charger but from what I saw they seem pretty bulky compared to what I have
Virtually all systems protect again shortcircuit at the breaker lever. Japan mostly has no ground but a RCD/GFCI for the whole house.
Basically how this works is that it checks if all the current leaving on the live wire is also returning on the neutral wire. If the current returning on the neutral is less than the one leaving then a part of the current must have found another way to get to ground (through your body for example) and it breaks the circuit hopefully before any danger could happen.
Now this doesn’t make ground useless, there are 2 different protection systems that work in different ways, and sometimes protect in different scenarios too, the RCD is also an active protection that can and fail, compared to ground wich is passive.
Having both is ALWAYS safer
Here in Romania we use Type F but sometimes also install a modular Type L socket alongside regular ones because it’s smaller and you can fit 2 of those in place of a full Type F/Schuko one. We don’t use Italian plugs and so only use them for europlugs (max 2.5A and double-insulated so no ground needed)
(Kind of something like this)I do find it kind of sad seeing them getting slowly replaced even in Italy (I know it won’t fully happen of course) because they’re very space efficient
You can still have sockets that accept grounded appliances like washing machines without ALWAYS requiring a bulky third prong that’s not gonna get used anyways. And about the shutters you can have them open when both prongs are inserted at the same time

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Reddit Undeleted all my posts and commentsEnglish
6·1 year agoThis may be a little bit offtopic, but is there any way to archive my comments/posts in an offline file with links to the original thread if I want to see them again before I delethe them?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Have you ever seen coal in real life?
11·2 years agoYes it was actually charcoal lol. Both coal and charcoal are translated as cărbune in romanian so until now I thought both of them were the same thing

Interesting Shares@lemmy.zip•A girl was allegedly raped in the metaverse. Is this the beginning of a dark new future?English
1·2 years agoOf course the article ends saying that maybe the lawmakers should extend that online “child protection” bill even further. What a coincidence. Anyways how is this rape, It is harassment but rape?





The differemce now is that the empires can completely destroy the world and make it unlivable if truly stupid people become leaders
