> energy equals mass
That doesn’t mean energy has a weight.
It means it is physically possible to transition energy to mass and vice versa. Sunlight hitting the earth does not add any weight.
Edit: turns out that part was wrong
Also, earth radiates heat out to space. At a rate of (aaaaaaaaalmost, because of the greenhouse effect) 100% of the energy we get from the sun. If it didn’t, earth would be a few million degrees hot by now…
Can you verify the software running on an instance is the same as the one in the source code repository? You can’t. Can you verify the instance isn’t running code to read passwords from your login requests even if the code is the original open source code? You can’t.
That’s why (and for other reasons) you should never use a password for more than one site/service/instance.
Lemmy admins (admins in the Lemmy application) probably can’t read your password. But everyone with admin rights on the server operating system can.
I do it quesadilla style. Two wraps, cheese and hot sauce in between. If I feel fancy i add tomato slices on top after microwaving
Your analogy is lacking. Being technologically behind does not make us the monkey with the nuke, it makes us the human with the rock. Aliens able to travel to earth will have a very easy way to deal with “bad thing flying fast towards us”.
Yes it is unethical and immoral to fool service personal and lead them to believe they receive a tip when they don’t. Everybody hates to receive those fake church bills.
One caveat about the Olympics is, you can’t just choose to compete there yourself as an athlete, even if you are world class. You have to be part, and chosen by, a national organisation. So even if the Olympics allow trans athletes, as long as most countries don’t, there won’t be trans athletes any time soon. I agree on the rest, I just don’t think the Olympics will be a forerunner in terms of trans representation.
By design nothing in the chain can be altered. But of course you could have a block indicating “person X is now person Y”. But you can always read that Y was at some point X (and at what point the change happened). That would not be good, as it would be a public ledger of all trans people. It would also make things like witness protection impossible because inserting a block “today in 2024, person W was born in 1974” is very suspicious
