    Depends on the configuration, but it won’t explode. It may just act as if it’s on low battery for a while then stop working as if the battery is drained, when the one battery might only be half drained. If it’s in parallel it could work but with about half the runtime, but it would do just the same fitting just one battery in the proper orientation.







  • The English + Undefined issue is indeed a nasty issue that makes half of the content disappear for a reason that’s not easy to figure out. It really should be a separate checkbox of whether to show or hide posts where the language is not labelled. I do think that Undefined is selected by default now, but might still get unselected if the language setting is clicked and changed.

    For those people saying “Ctrl+Click, should be obvious”, that won’t work at all on mobile web UI.


  • Tip for you since it sounds you are genuinely trying it out but are running into issues: you can post and comment on outside Lemmy communities without creating a different account for the most part. Just navigate to lemmy.world/c/[community name]@[other site domain]. Example: https://lemmy.world/c/science_memes@mander.xyz means you can interact with the community on mander.xyz while staying on your lemmy.world account.

    A Lemmy server agnostic link can be made in the form of ![community name]@[other site domain]. Example: !science_memes@mander.xyz, or !fediverse@lemmy.world to help people from anywhere on lemmy to link to c/fediverse.

    There’s still a lot of gaps like official methods to redirect post and comment links to your instance (I heard it was coming soon) It is indeed behind Reddit in a lot of technical and social aspects, but I think it’s not completely a bad thing.



  • The idea behind Brightline is seeing how efficient and cost-effective a sorta high speed rail line can be built. It’s open, yay, while CAHSR is far from it, but on the other hand there’s so many level crossings because Florida is flat and it costs too much to grade separate. When mixed with Florida stupidity that causes frequent collision incidents. It’s kind of the extreme of what happens when you pay less to start which makes you pay more later, if you get what I mean.

    Second the ineffectiveness is also the fault of not having good transit connections from the Brightline station. If there isn’t even a dinky, infrequent bus to the airport from the station then you can’t really get customers. Many Americans hate walking too and also think buses are for poor people, so any sort of “AirTrain people mover” sort of thing between the airport and stations would work well. Even if you had some sort of transit connection, if you have to change modes 3 times to get to downtown from the airport then that’s also a problem.

    Fixing those issues will increase ridership and make lowering fares more feasible (assuming brightline isn’t just going to pocket the difference like a greedy little American company ought).
