Bigfive Personality Test
  • I thought that these personality tests had been debunked?

    We had the myers briggs test back in the day, and I've heard on couple podcasts that these tests (including MB) are highly questionable.

    As it happens, the latest maintenance phase podacst is about the MB test:

    Robot begins removing Fukushima nuclear plant’s melted fuel.
  • Sadly that's what the human race does. It's nothing unique to nuclear power.

    It still baffles me, for example, that with all this technology, we still generate all this rubbish which we then bury in the ground. And we all know it. We all buy things in disposable packaging. We are all complicit.

    Robot begins removing Fukushima nuclear plant’s melted fuel.
  • The care and maintenance stage is part of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) decommissioning strategy and spans an 80+ year period. This waiting period allows for radiation levels within the reactor core to decline and helps to facilitate a smoother demolition process. Dungeness A is due to enter the care and maintenance phase in 2027. Demolition of reactor buildings and final site clearance is planned for 2088 to 2098

    It's an amazing place. I visited last month. You can overlook the power station from a nearby lighthouse.

    Robot begins removing Fukushima nuclear plant’s melted fuel.
  • When reading about dungeness reactor i learned that even reactors that haven't melted down also take about a hundred years to decommission safely.

    Another interesting stat I heard on a podcast is that the coal industry has proven much more deadly than the nuclear industry in terms of human lives lost.

    Android apps are blocking sideloading and forcing Google Play versions instead
  • I have an android DAP (music player) that runs Android 7. It's a box with a headphone jack (remember those?) and it's sole purpose is to play offline music from an SD card.

    I side-loaded a few music players, because there's no way I'm putting my Google password in android 7 in 2024.

    I'd be upset if I couldn't side load. These DAPs never have an up to date android.

    Let's hope the music apps I use don't block sideloading.

    Poweramp won't. Musicolet?

    Hi,

    Several posts I've made to /c/fountainpens have not made it to lemmy.world from the lemmy.sdf.org instance.

    If you compare these two urls, you can see that the top post (and several others) are only visible when viewed from sdf:

    https://lemmy.world/c/fountainpens https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/fountainpens@lemmy.world

    I've looked at the debugging tool and the sdf instance thinks that outbound lemmy.world is up to date, so has lemmy.world rejected the posts somehow?

    It seems to happen non-deterministically. Some posts have made it through. This has been ongoing for at least a couple of weeks now.

    Any ideas?

    Edit: this post did federate... could it be to do with posts with images or something?

    Hi,

    I posted twice to a community on lemmy.world and wondered why no one upvoted or replied.

    If I go to the the community directly via a web browser my posts don't show.

    Is federation broken again?

    My posts were 6 and 7 days ago.
