The real deal y0

  • Even accounting for prices, renewable sources are nearly always better. Price just determines how fast your saving/year will have gotten you your invested money back, but in the long run its nearly always better. You shouldnt move back to oil for example because that 20l of oil i need is 0.00005 euro per liter and can keep me warm for a year. Its still wasted money because its used once and gone. The pivot to green or renewables is something that started years ago and is now going faster ( but not fast enough ). It has nothing to do with the lng prices now

    Examples:

    • i gotten a solar panel last year that cost me 500 euros. Not little money. However, it has saved me 400 euros on energy bill in the last year too. If energy prices were lower, it would have taken me longer to get my money back. Higher price and it would take less time. Imagine pricing goes nuts and its suddenly 15€/kW of energy, it doesnt matter. Im still getting energy of the panel.I will admit not everyone can do this, and i got in a nice debate with my previous landlord over this. But its an argument i won because the reasons they didnt allow it was ... baked air.
    • another fun one is nuclear. Nuclear is renewable because guess what, the nuclear waste is recycable. Even if you dont pass the waste from one facility to a more modern facility ( that can then use it because its waaaaay more efficient ), you end up with other materials. This one needs billions and years to build which is why it hasnt been done in many places. Why would a government nearly do economical suicide to build one ? ( their words, i think its worth it ). But no matter how much it costs, you'll benefit from it greatly afterwards because guess what : recycable and larger energy output babeh!!
    • electric cars is also often a big one in this debate. But it costs more and charging is expensive. I am not going to deny that, not even close. I can rant all day long on those 2 arguments and why they are what they are and how it sucks. However, if you have an electric car, and can charge at home with maybe... Some solar panels? Wind turbines? Anyway, if you charge it at home you are basically doing all car stuff without using any fuels. No paying for energy and only using once. You take away the source of the energy the car uses ( from fuel to pure electric ) shove it in a way more efficient way of movement (electric motor vs combustion engine which gives of a lot of energy in the form of heat) and you allow for any way for it to be energised. Want to charge it with an engine? Sure, go ahead. Battery pack? Solar? Kid on a bike? All possible. It means the car is free from whatever fuel making it renewable because it can use renewable energy source.

    All of these examples will save everyone time, money, and space in the long run. Going back would never be necessary even if energy would be lower with fuel hehe

  • I just got into gunpla. Maaaaannn if anyone would do that to my rg wing zero ( ew ) ooooooooohhhhhhhh

  • Youre not saying untrue things, but you should see technology connections rant on this and he counters everything you just said hehe.

    The word renewable comes from being able to use something more than once.Oil being burned can only be used once, thats it. Do you need resources to make renewable energy sources? Why yes, you do. And you also need to ship it etc. But it comes from the fact it can be used multiple times.

    If i need , for example, 20l of oil to burn a flame for a year i can do that and i can heat myself for a year. Awesome!But after that year i cant reuse anything, its all burned up.

    Now if i use that 20l of oil to make myself something that can heat myself for multiple years without additional resource consuming ( bad example, i know, but lets go with it ), you are always better off with this.

    Thats what the discussion is about. Not that you wont need a non-reusable resource, but that using it should result in something reusable that outlives the other resource and keeps going for longer

  • Not yet. Ive been too busy tbh. I assume that, like many linux tools, its a bitch to report something. Not just a easy bug tracker or something

  • Pipewire has some neat tricks that i use on a daily basis but i can also make it crash on demand so idk :p. I have a restart script in my home directory for that exact reason.

    It just does not like audio going out my gpu, together with video, through my receiver and into my tv.Receiver not on while linux was booting? Guess what, pipewire reboot. Tv goes off because of "inactivity"? Thats a pipewire reboot

    ... And yet i love pipewire haha. But ye, audio issues are still a thing

  • This.Facebook messenger was ( still is?) Xmp and they sure profit. Same goes for stuff like xz, openssl, ...

    Nothing stops companies from using open source packages. Hell, as a software developer i can tell you they are build on top of them lol

  • Ah, im a 1975 man myself hahaRandom day and month though

  • The geforce 3 waz agp lolAnd so was the geforce 2

  • The full game installer downloads and installs the patches lol. It even says so in the pages you linked. Did you smoke crack?

  • Proton/wine/whatever translation layer not needed, the game is linux nativeActually, ut2k4 was always linux native, they just updated it.Ive gotten it running nicely

  • Note to self: read full post. I used eduroam when i worked for a university and it just worked. We had set it up for our full ad+username to be the username and our ad password was the pass and that just worked so idk.I did lookup the android settings they said to use and used those in linux though

  • And im saying its not, because their changes still flow upwards towards the bambu slicer and the popular fork of fork, orca slicer, which are both based on prusaslicer and still integrate changes of prusaslicer. They have reduced in quatity and quality, because prusa is going under because of the shit of others

  • Prusa has innovated. Not on their printers, agreed there, but in the slicer they have. And imo, those brands that are standing on prusa's shoulders should pay them for that work but afaik, and do correct me if im wrong, they dont. Bambu does nothing back for prusa, the opposite even. They are killing the shoulders they are standing on and barely do something for communities. Creality was also that bad until they were forced to by a chinese maker that is now at large.Then other companies came and took creality's crown by using the opened designs.

    I joined the 3d printing scene at the wrong time as i saw giants like prusa slowly fall and be replaced with shit heads like bambu

  • Yet a lot of those businesses lean on the work of prusa.Friend of mine always used creality their shitty slicer clone for his ender 3 v2, then got a bambu and was amazed by all the settings and options, different supports etc etc.Told him he should have switched to prusaslicer ages ago, which bambu's slicer is based on and the sole reason its open source.(Also, orca slicer > bambu studio)

    Prusa has been fighting the enshitification of 3d printing so badly, they are going under while other companies are standing on their shoulders and pushing them under ><

  • The engine issues have been resolved. Ive seen fps go up by 20fps lol.

    The redesign i cant comment on, thats just how the gameplay and world was designed and is a legit comment hehe

  • Euh, what. Ye, no. I do archery with a recurve, no attachments or anything. Left eye is dominant, so right hand holds the bow, arrow is on the left side of the bow and left hand pulls back. Now, i do stringwalking so the arrow is higher up, but thats because my right eye is shit and i have bad focus.Left hand under my left jaw. Arrow is a straight line from left eye to bow and to the target down the range.If you have an indentation in the grip like i do, then its straight. If you dont then yes its slightly off, but thats practice and even then its pretty straight if you hold it right...

  • And hit jack shit because her arrow is super not straight in relation with her eyes ( for aiming )

    ... Still an awesome picture though. I just shiver to imagine they let her do it AND let her do it so badly lol

  • Not fully player run economy, but it is like 80% player run ye

  • And clear skies
