  • Why do AC's not produce energy?

    Jump

  • Heat pumps (which are basically just air conditioners running in reverse) do "create" energy.

    By that I mean that they provide much more heating energy than the electricity they consume, because what they do is move heat that's already there outside (but diffuse) and concentrate it in your house.

    Air conditioners cannot create energy (that is literally impossible) but they do move energy out of your home. So some models are now able to move that energy underground in the summer, where the heat doesn't dissipate much at all, then re-use it in the winter as a heat pump to heat your home, making them both more eco-friendly and cheaper to run !

  • Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy.

    Jump

  • Doing the right thing for the wring reason if you ask me. I don't think it was ever a good idea to sell incest games in the first place, but banning them because they make payment processors uncomfortable ? Fuck that.

    I don't want payment processors to be the arbiters of what we are allowed to play !

  • Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse

    Jump

  • Linux phones will hopefully fix that soon(ish)

  • The live-action "Legend of Zelda" film will feature Bo Bragason as Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link

    Jump

  • Eh. We'll see how it turns out 🤷🏻‍♀️

  • Why is sleep so hard for laptops?

    Jump

  • Do you mean iOS (iPhone) or IOS (Nintendo Wii) ? Or is there a third ?

  • Why is sleep so hard for laptops?

    Jump

  • I have had no issues with sleep on macOS, so whatever they are doing we should try to copy !

    The same MacBook air, that used to last over a week with the lid closed on macOS, now needs to be charged every 3 days on Asahi NixOS.

    Linux is a much better operating system, even just for the sheer variety of software available, but power management isn't quite there yet in my experience on this laptop.

  • Pop it in your calendars

    Jump

  • Publishers are cancer. Self publish whenever possible !

  • Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • The same game I have played every week for 15 years : Minecraft.

  • Okay why is your distro the best?

    Jump

  • NixOS.

    • I have access to more packages than with any other package manager.
    • everything to get my setup in the exact state I want is in my config, which is 90% useable on any other distro thanks to home manager
    • My config is all in one place and easy to share
    • If I ever break something, I can always roll back
    • I don't need Docker

  • X CEO Linda Yaccarino is now ex-CEO

    Jump

  • Hope she has an adult-star ex from the south of England that she gets back together with.

    Then that person will be the Sussex XXX ex-ex of X's ex-exec !

    Study Finds LLMs Biased Against Men in Hiring

    Jump

  • Add a whole bunch of white on white nonsense ! You can also insert letters in the middle of words with a font size of 0, although that fucks up a human copy-pasting too, so probably not recommended.

    The simplest way is to make your CV an image, and include no OCR data (or nonsense OCR data) in the PDF

  • BREAKING: X CEO Linda Yaccarino Steps Down One Day After Elon Musk’s Grok AI Bot Went Full Hitler

    Jump

  • Non-fediverse social media is designed to be addictive because that's how the people running it make money.

  • AI is driving down the price of knowledge – universities have to rethink what they offer

    Jump

  • Universities have not been in the business if monetizing knowledge for decades, if not centuries.

    Knowledge has been easy to access for a LONG time. Universities give you access to a well constructed curriculum, competent teachers, and a certificate you actually learnt the material somewhat decently.

    American universities are too expensive, yes, but American anything means you pay more and you get less, so singling out universities is missing the forest for a tree (even if arguably one of the biggest of those trees)

  • Threads is nearing X's daily app users, new data shows

    Jump

  • Real life people use Threads !? I guess that speaks more to Twitter's decline than Threads' success that the numbers are getting close...

  • What do you think of procedurally generated dungeons?

    Jump

  • Amazing when done right like Diablo II or Minecraft !

  • The Steam controller was ahead of its time

    Jump

  • We really need a new version

  • Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales

    Jump

  • Maybe it says more about me than about game pass, but even at 5€ a month it would be significantly more money than I spend on games every year.

    Not that I couldn't afford it, but I mostly play games that are at least 5 to 10 years old, either on second-hand physical copies or heavily discounted sales/keyshops. The most recent game I've bought is Elden Ring, even then only recently because I found a cheap physical copy.

  • I've heard of countless people peeing themselves, and 0 bladder explosions, so Occam's razor says that second option has to be very rare if it ever happens.

  • PirateSoftware Leaves OffBrand Games as Stop Killing Games Reaches Goal

  • Blizzard's last good release was Overwatch (2016), which they have subsequently completely ruined (in my opinion) so I wouldn't be proud of having worked there unless it was a long time ago 😅
