Thank you for saving me a click. Undersea data center operation and seawater cooling is not new; Microsoft has been pursuing such efforts for a decade or so now, under the auspices of Project Natick: https://natick.research.microsoft.com/

Oh, heck no. Recall was bad enough.

The site appears to be down.

Perhaps a second wave will be incoming, per this post about a coming Reddit paywall for some content: https://sh.itjust.works/post/32792815

Kagi user chiming in here. Have been incredibly happy with the service in terms of search quality and overall usefulness since subscribing. Feels like Google in the early, early days (I was there) before they lost their soul. Their changelog page is instructive; -- https://kagi.com/changelog

Downvoted since the article is paywalled by Medium.

There is also a reputed new cat-to/from-human transmission vector for H5N1, which was briefly noted in a CDC report last week before being redacted: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/health/cdc-bird-flu-cats-people.html . NYT article may be paywalled, but details can be found in other media sources as well.

Ah, of course! Thanks for jogging my memory. Despite the growth in users, many of the communities on Lemmy remind me of the old days of BBSes and web foraa. Hopefully the Fediverse will maintain its friendliness and usefulness as it expands.

Is that correlated with students getting out of school for the summer and joining, or a different event? I have noticed a lower quality of conversation in a number of communities recently.

My pleasure. I agree!

Eternal September (en.m.wikipedia.org)
 

Eternal September or the September that never ended was a cultural phenomenon during a period beginning around late 1993 and early 1994, when Internet Service Providers began offering Usenet access to many new users.

Hi HellsBelle,

Firstly, sorry for my overly snarky response. I know that the "don't change the headline" rule was strictly enforced in many subreddits, but I wasn't aware that this applied here as well. Is this a rule for this particular community or the entire Lemmy instance it's on? Would you be kind enough to share a pointer to the rule list?
