It’s similar to hydroelectric – if it works and it’s cost effective, people will use it and consider it a privilege… Some green energy works really really well.

More coal for China to burn manufacturing disposable junk for us to buy!

The same paypal that thought they can fine you for TOS violations?

Deleted my account, nothing of value was lost.

Absolutely, if you care about historical works you should make sure that you have a copy that you control.

A large portion of the things on my jellyfin are like that, because once they take away media ownership, and they can change or take away your stories at any time.

The d day level of medal of honor was a serious moment. It’s like “yeah, you keep dying and it’s frustrating. You’re watching all these other people die. But that’s what it was actually like.”

There was a moment where I had made it to the buildings and looked back and saw my brothers in arms being mowed down and it’s a different experience than seeing it on TV.

It seems like the thing to do if you don’t use printers is to erase the cups packages from your system to close that port. Not sure it’s even patched yet.

It’s actually pretty decent as a generic 90s square RPG, but fails miserably as a sequel or even as an addition to the Chrono trigger universe to the point that I’m pretty sure most people just pretend there was never another entry in the Chrono series.

One thing is that education isn’t the same globally. You should probably have an other option to account for that.

Then you say “this argument doesn’t exist.”

And it replies “you’re right! That argument has never been a part of package x. I’ve updated the argument to fix it:” and then gives you the exact same bleedin command…

Industrial scale power requires massive destruction of nature. That’s the nature of trying to light and heat millions of homes, especially in the winter. The question must become what is the least harmful most effective thing to do. It isn’t as simple as “solar farms and wind farms” since you have to heat and light those homes when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing. “Batteries!” Sure but the environmental devastation from having to build battery banks that large would be overwhelming, not to mention having to size your solar and wind to provide all the province’s power while the sun shines and wind blows meaning there’d be way more than you expect, and then after 30 years you’d have to do it all over again because the batteries, windmills, and solar panels would all have to be replaced.

Water looks nice when it’s at a scale that can’t power anything too. In fact, even small enough scale fossil fuels don’t look that bad. The problem is when you make it big enough to actually provide all the energy you need. One big reason why “reduce” is the most important thing we can do.

Glad to see a Black and white open source recreation, but you’re correct in this regard. I have black and white on my PC right now in a dark corner.

It actually saved my life a few months back, I had a dying windows server I needed to resurrect and the tools on there were perfect for it.

Hirens boot cd is a great tool if you’re working with windows. You are not always going to need it, but when you do need it it’s awfully nice to have it.

Anyone who owned doom 1 and doom 2 got a new item in their steam or gog library with damn near everything included including stuff like sigil and a new episode they just made.

There’s a new doom 2 RTX mod that clips into that version and it combines ray tracing with voxel art to give the most impressive raycast doom 2 I’ve imagined so far. Well worth a look especially since it’s free for a lot of gamers.

I picked up an Amiga at a yard sale and found floppy disks on Amazon. I didn’t bother buying any and instead bought a gotek floppy disk emulator.

“dad I’m sanic”

Having a pair of default gateways could be an issue. On Windows (which I know, isn’t the OS here), you have to be pretty careful because if you’re straddling two networks, you need to pick one network to be the dominant one, that’s the one whose default gateway will get packets heading onto outbound networks.

I think it’s like a big truck, not a series of tubes.

Always seems self-evident that equipment you don’t own and control isn’t going to work on your behalf.

China is the West’s picture of Dorian Gray. We pretend we’re so good for reducing our carbon use by not manufacturing anything and switching to less immediately carbon intensive, meanwhile the rest of the world exported 182 million metric tonnes of coal to China (roughly 140 million cubic meters of the stuff) last year. That would be enough to fill 208,000 3000sqrft mcmansions from bottom to top with coal every year.

So why does China have so much green energy going in? Because exploiting the environment sometimes includes green energy. You dam every river, raze every forest to set up windmills or solar panels or to burn as “biomass”, because you want to suck up every bit of resources you can and that includes stuff that happens to be considered green.

That’s not all. China has also used more concrete than the rest of the human race throughout all of history in just the last few decades. Cement in particular is a highly carbon intensive thing to make (particularly using fossil fuels which almost all cement is made using), and they’ve built empty cities that’ll some day fall into dust without having ever had people living in them.

That’s why I say we need to be very careful about letting environmentalism become a box they package up and put on the shelf. It’s easy to think we can consume away our problems caused by overconsumption, but it’s much more complicated than that.
