I was thinking that you would need increasingly beefy motors and cables/cranes as the size of the rocks scales. But for a reservoir, you could use the same pump over a longer period of time to store much more energy. It’s also easy to utilize a body of water with a volume much greater than the volume of a vertical cylinder.
That’s a miniscule amount compared to PSH facilities, whether it’s 2 MW capacity or 2 MWh storage.
It’s a cool concept but practically seems limited to niche applications due to the small capacity. Granted it is a prototype, but it also seems intuitive that pumping large amounts of water would be more efficient than moving solid blocks of heavy material for a gravity battery design.
Can confirm that Gamer’s Nexus and Optimum Tech are absolutely superb. You can tell those guys are doing it for the love of the game. LTT is vacuous in comparison.
Except for the ones that actually succeed. They become the opposite of Robin hood when they succeed.
Wow. This is a Mastodon account posting to Lemmy and we are getting cross platform engagement and it’s all working pretty seamlessly. This is the first time I’ve seen this kind of thing on Lemmy. The Mastodon users don’t get to see the upvotes though, right? The @ thing when they reply is kind of annoying but it seems like a fairly easy fix to hide those when browsing from Lemmy.
I strongly disagree. If everyone on Lemmy went to reddit for every second of r/place, that’d barely even make a blip on their engagement numbers. On the other hand, we can potentially grow this platform by quite a lot if we can draw just a bit of attention.
It’s a bit silly to turn down an easy opportunity to grow Lemmy as a way to spite Reddit. If you really don’t care about reddit anymore, then there is no issue with using it to find people that can help contribute to the growing communities here.

Does it have adblock?
Yeah for sure. You’re much more advanced than I am, let’s just say it’s not a coincidence that I’m on sh.itjust.works 😅
Vivaldi looks cool, and I have heard tell that Mozilla is far from its former glory, but my user experience on Firefox is excellent so I have no reason to switch
If browsers are like fashion, Firefox is a well-tailored suit. Never out of style.
Chrome drools
Same. I have switched between the two several times, but I started on Firefox for a long time before switching, and now I’ve been back on Firefox for at least 5 years. There was definitely a good stretch of chrome in the early 2010s though.
Firefox is well clear by now. I’m also using the Android version, and I think it’s great.
Foraging for FOSS
Ok I see. And the reason for that is because beehaw has defederated my server, but my server has not defederated beehaw, correct?
Kinda confusing, I guess I thought of federation as a bilateral agreement for some reason, but actually each instance unilaterally decides who to federate with, and its not always reciprocal.
Hey, sorry y’all had to defederate from our server.
I guess I thought I understood what that meant, but I somehow didn’t quite grasp that we can both still subscribe to third party communities like here at [email protected], and continue to interact indirectly through those channels. So the whole defederation thing matters even less than I thought it did.
Sorry to be off topic but some people at lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works might benefit from seeing this explained.
I just feel like VR is never really going to be a thing most people enjoy using. People have always used tools with their hands, the smartphone is just the most advanced version yet. Wearing something over your field of vision feels unnatural and unintuitive, and I don’t see that ever changing. I already feel kinda uncomfortable even when I just put my hoodie up. What if someone comes at me from behind 🫣
Hi guys. If you’re looking for an instance, sh.itjust.works is fast and easy to join. Lemmy has a long road ahead of it but I’m here for the ride.
PieFed! That’s the only other threadiverse project I know of.
