Nextcloud is a really good all-in-one solution for self hosting data

You should try it when you get the chance, it’s absolutely bonkers. I had my reservations about it before I tried it and it was much better than I expected.

I mean the hype has died down but I think it’s rather that VR is too expensive right now. I want VR but I don’t want it $500 much to get a novelty item.

I think using it as a big ass screen would be nice and I really want to Serious Sam and Subnautica on VR. The immersion is really good for VR and I’ve liked it a lot every time I’ve played it.

Still, you need a decent space in the living room. A good graphics card for the frame rate and the expensive headset and motion trackers to get the full experience. That’s a lot to ask for with the current economy.

That’s a tad bit difficult since Hezbollah military rivals that of the Lebanese government. This is pretty much an impossible request and him saying that he’s going to cause Lebanon “destruction and suffering”

Not a tanky or China apologist but it’s actually doing fine (not great but very well might be soon).

Here’s the information you’re looking for. China is doing a lot of things right and is ahead of schedule. They’re making good progress on electrification and their renewables are growing exponentially at an insane rate.

They’re still addicted to coal but with the developments in solar and wind and a very large geography and energy storage programs they’re going to be phased out and really fast in the coming years.

Given the fact that they’re pretty much producing everything for western economies and is recently industrialised China is actually doing fine. They emit a lot less per person than the average European while producing goods for 2x their population.

It might sound weird but China is one of the countries that’s actually taking climate change seriously.

Mechanic analogy doesn’t really apply to climate change. You’d have make the car drive forever, become increasingly costly, eat your food and kill people while the mechanic will be able to repair it if you bring it in everyday for a long time. Bringing it to the mechanic would then also slow the deterioration and slowly make it better instead of it just getting worse.

It’s a bit late for getting 1800’s climate back within our lifetime but it’s not to late to prevent it from getting worse.

I absolutely love heat pumps. They’re great, massive efficiency and all that. The article says it works in 100-200 °C range which shows a lot of promise but that’s not enough for a lot of use cases that are very energy intensive.

Clinker, the main CO2 emitter for cement creation and metals such as steel production require >400°C to produce as an example. If people figure out a way to clean up aluminium then we can potentially use a thermite reaction to create steel and there are already alternatives for clinker.

The real solution is a carbon tax which is going to be economically painful in the short to medium term and with the current economic situation there’s not a lot of political will.

Heat pumps are a game changer for residential and low-temp industrial heat. Shit’s going badly right now in the grand scheme of things but at least we’re heading in the right direction.

“Most” in more than a simple majority in my understanding of English as a non-native speaker. “More” would be a better word for it. I’d also take “single player is the most popular” of two game modes which is true but still implies more than 6% difference.

Are you Spanish or Arabic speaking by any chance?

I think Nix is the future. I feel like at some point we could have fedora ublue for all distros by using nix with GUI configs.

I use printer with a USB personally. No issues with that but I got an HP printer that is really weird with the network stuff

The swappy bois are coming

Come to v18, things are nice here.

This the exact same sentiment as people had in segregated US had towards activists.

Don’t know why you would jump to that conclusion straight away. Mín billable hours and time spent thinking on the problem is a thing. Taking regular 5m breaks (pomodoro technique) also helps with getting things done and so on and people should be paid for it.

I mean, you should technically stop the clock if the wife calls to ask if there’s pasta at home but nobody really cares.

Adding significant amount of hours to a report would not be ethical but adjusting 10% to get paid for time laying in bed thinking about problems is still ethical from my point of view. It’s way more value than most meetings.

Your cultural context way vary.

I want to take up his point. It’s much more like medieval serfdom than slavery. Such as:

• Shit salary instead of no salary.
• Can’t me sold.
• Has rights (more than a slave, less than a free man)

Although serfs were bound to the land unlike US prisoners where they can be transferred from location to location.

Why mine minerals when you can mínu coal and drill for gas and oil ability?

That’s probably not going to work. There will be less incentive for companies to work on a game if they can’t turn it into money stream. Especially big and expensive games. I think the outline above is pretty fair and a good start. They should throw on top of it banning loot boxes since they essentially develop gambling behavior in children.

We might live in a strange world where it’ll be easier to run Windows programs on ARM with Linux than on the OS they’re written for.

I think it depends on how you use the OS, Gnome is great until you have a bunch of outdated extensions that break stuff. My impression is that KDE is better for the “advanced” use case and gnome is better for the “default”. I tried gnome recently and I found it very pleasant and easy to use but I prefer KDE since it has more customization.
