@sparseMatrix
It is happening relatively fast. Solar glass is already in production, at least as good as I know in Spain (the Spanish startup Onyx Solar is one of the pioneers in the area. They have already implemented solutions in buildings in Spain, Australia, Saudi Arabia and a prototype of a new version of the product in Israel.

German intel: AfD taken over by extremist factions in c/europe@feddit.de
[–] kjr@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@BlackRose I am wondering whether the increase of the AfD together with the actual momentum of extreme right wing parties in other countries can jeopardize the estability of European institutions after the next European elections.

@hariette Is it possible as a user to change the background of this thread? It cannot be read with the kbin mobile webapp. It happens only with this specific thread and previous posts about Artemis.

Twitter threatens to sue Meta over Threads app – report in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] kjr@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@OldFartPhil Anyway... maybe with "intellectual property" they mean another thing? I mean... if Meta is a Twitter clone, Twitter was a identi.ca clone too.

@Pips @Very_Bad_Janet

Are you going to try Meta's Threads? in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] kjr@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

@bathrobe I don't know about tiktok, but I think that it is the same data that Facebook collects. And the worst is what we have at the end, "Other Data". That means, each moment Meta can decide to collect yet more things without to inform the user.

YSK that Kbin can subscribe not only to magazines and communities, but entire instances. in c/kbinMeta@kbin.social
[–] kjr@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

But it doesn't work for every instance.. don't ask why.
The two instances of Mastodon in which I have my accounts are not reachable through this way

https://kbin.social/d/babka.social
https://kbin.social/d/hed.im

But people from those instances follow my kbin account (and opposite) ... thus they are federated with kbin and the federation does work.

Other domains like facebook or twitter should not be accessible, but they are and the results are not really good...

@clb92 that sounds like less privacy for citizens, and more easy ways to work for organized mafias.

Encryption With A Back Door Is NOT Encryption in c/tech@kbin.social
[–] kjr@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@Ronno No really, if I understood well the proposal is not that every channel will have a backdoor. Probably that is a request only for citizens, and maybe most companies, but I don't think that it will apply to banks, finance institutions or to the state.
Or maybe I misunderstood something... I'm not sure.

@luna I was wondering why the name is weird. Maybe because I am not an English native speaker, but I don't find it not or less weird than lemmy or twitter...
