It's good for this to have an airing, but can I just say that Singapore is privileged to have such a small-potatoes issue to be considered a political saga? Even by the standards of Singapore's own history, this is tame: LKY's condominium-purchasing scandal from the 90s was 100x worse.

I think that's just how the US signs off on every meeting with world leaders.
Material degradation is a very serious issue for these perovskite cells, so it's a bit concerning to see it brushed off with a "lol we'll just have to see" comment. Also, these materials contain lead, so disposal/recycling becomes a significant concern.
The grim reaper is coming for old.reddit.com any day now.
The people in charge of TNG by that point were creatively bankrupt. It would have been a fiasco.
Also, the idea just doesn't fit Star Trek. It isn't a comic book franchise, where fan-pleasing callbacks and crossovers are baked into the formula. In Star Trek media, callbacks and crossovers have tended to be some of the worst stories.
That's not at all how the GPL works....
Chrono Trigger. It's basically the evolutionary peak of the NES-era console RPG. Every aspect, including the story, art, game mechanics, and music, are best-in-class, with no obvious room for improvement given the technical constraints of the time.
After seeing this, I thought I'd go over to the Play Store to leave a 1 star review. Then discovered I had already left a 1 star review (complaining about their shitty interface) a few months ago, which I'd totally forgotten about ;-)
Optical components are already used in some parts of servers, in interconnects. But I don't expect them to replace silicon for general purpose processing ever. One thing that's never noted in these scientific press releases is that optical components are huge. The wavelength of light is about a micron, i.e. a thousand times larger than the feature sizes of silicon electronics. This limitation can't be easily overcome.
Let's all be grateful that Google handled GChat and its successors so incompetently. There was a window of time in which the world might have gotten hooked into using Google for instant messaging, which would have been a privacy disaster. Lucky, they fucked it up.
Pull for scantily-clad farmhands.

I'd been on Reddit for 15 years, predating the Digg exodus. Actually, I find that my memories of the early days makes moving to Lemmy easier. Present-day Lemmy is already ahead of Reddit back when I started, both in terms of content and features/availability.
