Who reads this anyway? Nobody, that’s…. Oh wait. Some people actually do. I guess I should put something worth reading in here then. Err... Let's go with lorem impsum for the time being.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam eu libero vitae augue pretium sollicitudin.......

  • postmarketOS is genuinely amazing on ultra low end PCs (details in the post)

    Jump

  • These low end computers are always a fun challenge. You end up trying a bunch of programs you have never even heard of, and you can also learn something along the way.

  • Scientists build device to harvest electricity from Earth's spin

    Jump

  • I think there’s hope as long as we don’t nuke ourselves back into the stone age. If we keep a steady pace of progress and take good care of our only habitable space ship, we should be able to figure out how to thrive pretty much anywhere in space. Self inflicted extinction events are the biggest threats at the moment.

  • Scientists build device to harvest electricity from Earth's spin

    Jump

  • Oh… so after billions of years, the Earth will be tidally locked with the Sun. If we start harvesting Earth’s rotational energy one way or another, we’re just speeding up the process. Anyway, that sounds about as bad as burning fossil fuels.

  • Scientists build device to harvest electricity from Earth's spin

    Jump

  • Islands, shores and land in general tends to resist the tides. Not just a little bit either. By that logic, the rotation of the earth was never sustainable to begin with.

  • Scientists build device to harvest electricity from Earth's spin

    Jump

  • What about the propeller type generators that spin both ways? How would they slow down earth’s rotation?

  • Switching to electric stoves can dramatically cut indoor air pollution

    Jump

  • On top of that, the economics only make it harder. Those who take dirty shortcuts, will have lower CAPEX and maybe even OPEX. This gives them a competitive advantage compared to those companies that choose to follow a more sustainable path.

  • Switching to electric stoves can dramatically cut indoor air pollution

    Jump

  • Same goes for various industries and energy production in general. Burning stuff is usually the easiest way to do it, but it comes with some serious long term consequences. Ideally, we would use renewables to produce electricity, and then use that electricity to heat things up when needed.

    Unfortunately, large parts of various industries has been built around the idea of burning things instead of using electricity. In order to fully transition, we would need to completely rebuild many factories and radically modify countless others.

  • I'm becoming overwhelmingly materialistic

    Jump

  • If you view this as a coping mechanism, then there has to be an uncomfortable emotion that triggers it. Some emotions are too difficult to face and process, which results in resorting to this coping mechanism. It’s clearly not a long term solution, so it would be useful to figure out what those triggering emotions are.

  • All countries starting in letter "I" are in a straight line

    Jump

  • Or if you use a suitable projection. I'm pretty sure you can pick some really wild projection and make it work with another letter too.

  • xkcd #3185: Sauropods

    Jump

  • Looks like sauropods also lived in a world with pacman style topology.

  • xkcd #3184: Funny Numbers

    Jump

  • That number is just an example of a specific category of absurd humor. It’s rare to see that sort of thing applied to numbers though. In other situations, we’ve all seen it. Just repeat any dumb thing a hundred times and suddenly it becomes funny. You could look at pretty much any TV comedy. Pick any decade, like 60’s, 70’s, 90’s or whatever. The rule is very simple: Just repeat it and it becomes funny at some point.

    You could also say that the seeds of brain rot are older than we dare to admit. The 2020s just distilled it to its purest form yet.

  • He made beer that’s also a vaccine. Now controversy is brewing

    Jump

  • Seriously though, the density of rhetoric devices, such as contrastive reframing and hyperbole, was pretty high for a science article. Vanilla copilot leans towards an even more dramatic tone, but this wasn’t far behind.

  • Removed

    Fuck prime numbers

    Jump

  • Same with the 7 day week. Try doing something every other day, every 3 days or whatever. Doesn’t work, because 7 is a prime number.

  • xkcd #3182: Telescope Types

    Jump

  • Forbidden juice…

  • Fedora Games Lab Looks To Be Revitalized As Modern Linux Gaming Showcase

    Jump

  • I think so too. It makes sense to start with making it run on the hardware you have. Making it run nicely on other computers would require more time and money. Doing so can still make sense in the long run, but first you need to launch this new product, so better focus on short term goals.

  • What Have I Learned From Daily Driving Arch Linux For Three Years?

    Jump

  • I currently have two Wayland-running computers: one with Intel graphics and the other with Nvidia. While both work, one has some odd quirks. For instance, right-click window scaling doesn’t work at all and context menus vanish instantly unless I hold the mouse button down. Sometimes, the right-click menu simply doesn’t appear at all.

    Incidentally, I’m currently looking for a used AMD graphics card. Can you guess which computer will get that card.

  • Fedora Games Lab Looks To Be Revitalized As Modern Linux Gaming Showcase

    Jump

  • That would help with selling games, for sure. If that really is the main goal, SteamOS should receive some compatibility updates soon. We’ll see if that’s how they really operate.

  • Fedora Games Lab Looks To Be Revitalized As Modern Linux Gaming Showcase

    Jump

  • Yes, but what’s the reason why SteamOS was designed to be that picky? My guess is, Valve wants everyone to buy their hardware. Making your OS run on anything isn’t really helping with that.
