i like their goal for the software. i don’t know if lutris uses overlayfs already but that’s probably also something to look into, since each prefix is like a gigabyte before anything is added and most prefixes use the same dependencies.

i’m looking forward to the cuba-style internet cafe culture where there’s a new hard drive of stuff every week

this is about the eu

the main probrem isn’t really what data is used for verification, but what data is made unavailable without it. if some conservative asshole decides that resources on sexual health (or alternate sexualities) are pornographic, then that information is effectively gone for everyone under 18 or without an account.

fluency. languages are hard to learn but when you know them you communicate better. same as touch-typing, or mobas.

but still no webusb. bit confusing.

oooOOOoooh. i’m a dumb.

why would a popular webcomic that has been running for 15 years and is notably opposed to ai use ai?

i really like the delidded image that shows that the “combined chip package” shows that it’s literally just two chips in the same package

considering they had the worst public fuck-up i think i’ve seen in the last 30 years of gaming, i don’t know if they should continue to be listed as publisher for any games, including their gacha bullshit catalog.

or just assume i’m always wrong!

the worst version of this is when the tism kicks in for both of us and neither can discern the other’s intentions. idk if casually talking about their kinks is flirting, maybe they just have no filter. hard to tell.

the curve for someone coming from ubuntu is pretty much a wall.

germany doesn’t split the power grid into cost regions, like most other countries. that means you get the same price everywhere, regardless of if you live in an area with a power surplus or a deficit. as far as i understand germany, most generation is in the north and most heavy industry is in the south. with cost regions, the north would have cheaper electricity and the south would have reason to invest in generation capabilities. as it is, your power is expensive everywhere and you need to import a lot.

sweden has lots of surplus capacity in the north, but not the infrastructure required to get all that power to the south. when germany buys a lot of our power, the extra demand drives up the price in the southern region, which means they need to “buy” power from further north, which pulls those prices up with it.

there has been some talk here about putting “export duties” on electricity to prioritise domestic users, but i don’t know if the eu allows for that.

no, that was just the normal cost of power in norrbotten from 2010 to 2020. varying by time of day, of course. 18 öre/kWh was peak price.

now that i’m no longer living up there i’m forced to cough up more than 5 times the price. they raised it from 60 öre/kWh to 250 when inflation was real bad, now we’re down to like 120 öre/kWh. it’s shocking how bad it has become with increased interconnectivity in the european grid.

Edit: I’m an idiot who can’t read. of course you’re right, it’s two cents.

oh no that was a few years ago. we are very much suffering from your prices now. they’re dragging the whole of europe along.

not to mention he’d lived with me. he knew we paid like 0.2¢/kWh. no way he’d get me to switch.

a former roommate called me out the blue one day like eight years after he moved out. we hadn’t talked since then. after the reminiscing he tried to get me to switch utility company. that’s crossing a line, i feel.

nice! i’m glad you’re figuring things out. real lasting relationships usually take time to form, so it’s good to stick around people you like. nothing wrong with having a little fun along the way either.
