Who’s going to be the system that will fill the vacuum when the judge tells them to do it anyway and it breaks along the way?


Mmm I really think my work day has enough pipe dreams already


How is this relevant to the app?


It’s relevant because it answers the “headline” question of why the market is charging for/gatekeeping free software. The answer is obviously because thats what capitalism incentivizes.


They either exercise intellectual curiosity through Google and YouTube, or they wait until someone decides it’s worth making a commercial offering.


Social media algorithm overload

What’s processing the mail?


The use of opengraph doesn’t change the usage rights on the content that the opengraph tag refers to


I thought the “open” part was that anyone could use the “protocol”, not that it had any usage context for the content in the tags.


I mean yeah it’s great that it’s system that can make plastic without oil. But really, do we need more plastic?


The plastic is just one possible application.

The important part is the conversion of CO2 into carbon monoxide and ethylene.

From ethylene and carbon monoxide a lot of useful organic compounds can be synthesized. One could make synthetic gasoline for vehicles, or one could make glycerol and use it to feed a culture of fungi for producing cheap protein.


The world is dependent on plastic by now, and needs a lot of it. The negative stigma it got lately is due to playing fast and loose with it in the past, but it is a necessary class of materials, and having sustainable means of mass producing it is a good thing.
