• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've been using this simple trick to keep cool in the heat wave (UK)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Heating the outdoors more than cooling the indoors

  Yeah by like 400W which is peanuts compared to what the sun is doing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We have brownouts in the summer and Kevin O'Leary wants a Data Center built here.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  (Sorry for this vague rant but I had to get it off my chest)

  We used to build rails, roads, water/sewage systems, telephone networks and they weren’t all directly profitable. Now it seems any investment in infrastructure is deemed too expensive (unless it’s AI or whatever)

  Like why is there not yet wired internet everywhere in the west. It is absolutely ridiculous that some people have to rely on starlink for a decent connection. I understand that it’s not profitable to lay miles of cable just so Bill from Buttfuck Ohio can pay $20 a month to have access to it. That didn’t use to stop us for electricity and water though. Just because some rent seeking motherfucker isn’t raking it in doesn’t mean it’s not valuable to society as a whole.

  Just print some money, upgrade the damn power grid and make us less dependent on fossil fuels. It might even help the climate if anyone still gives a fuck about that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lastest Riot Vanguard Update Can Brick Your Hardware (If You're a Cheater)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And they’re not even bricking the cheating devices, just blocking them using hardware features that can be disabled (as long as you don’t want to run vanguard).

  I used a vertical mouse for a while and found that it puts more strain on my shoulder and ended up going back. Your mileage may vary

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨oh and it's also a crime⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Phones are just computers except they fit in your pocket and have a cellular connection. Distinction without a difference

  Yeah but at least the interests of the user and duolingo are somewhat aligned in this case

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thinkpad for the win⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a pretty recent thinkpad that supposedly has “military grade durability”. The plastic is literally falling apart at the corners after 2 years, and my fan grille is gone.

  Fucking lenovo

  Which is precisely what makes people actually use twitter

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grr Windows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You can add another revision of nixpkgs as a flake input and use that revision for certain packages. Its not as ergonomic as in Arch (even though they officially dont support partial upgrades). But its still possible and having a stable and unstable flake input usually does the job for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grr Windows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  NixOS lets you update just what you want, when you want, and it even lets you roll them back at any time.

  I update every single day AND my computer always works.
