It's inevitable it's coming, there is zero question about the acts committed it's just got to go through the process.
Twitter is defined entirely by what is followed, you can stay completely out of the toxic far right stuff and block those that don't know where they are. There are still plenty of sub communities there that exist no where else and you can control your feed better than Lemmy and other forum like systems. Twitter overall is declinimg but it's not the full picture because what is happening doesn't impact lots of people who use the platform that much.
We knew this was coming, we knew if we didn't stop pumping CO2 into our atmosphere we would have to mitigate a lot of the damage at much greater cost and yet here we having increased the rate at which we increase CO2 into the atmosphere to now a whopping 3.3 ppm annually and we have spent nothing on mitigation. Honestly it feels like our governments just chose we were all going to die and were fine with it.
Look out for that immigrant, he wants your cookie.
We don't actually need new laws. There are already existing mechanisms for holding the directors of companies criminally responsible for damage and death they cause. Its not new laws we need its the existing ones enforced and done so not just against the water companies but any company that is harming the environment and people or committing other criminal acts.
People have been repeatedly told not to go near this group. Its the age old story where "modern man" meets indigenous tribe and kills a bunch of them with disease and they now consider us at war. We need to leave these people alone.
I thought the first movie was better. Inside Out 2 was fine and enjoyed it but it felt a bit more painful comedy wise than the first one and the story was less compelling.
I noticed today searching that the date search no longer seems to work right. There are some terms that only appeared since 2020 and up until my recent attempts those terms produced no results on DDG when date constrained but now produce terms in articles clearly after that date. I don't know if this is some personalisation nonsense or always pulling but results if the constraints don't match or what but its seriously problematic and means I can't trust the date constraints anymore.
They are a lot more expensive than expected at the moment, once they start selling at the 30$/KWh they were proposed at they will be fantastic but if they stay at their current price LFP is going to be a lot cheaper.
Yes Satellite Reign, I guess its not very recent since it was nearly a decade ago!
Trustpilot in itself is a very problematic website as well that biases towards positive reviews. Companies can engage there and get reviews removed when the person won't further engage with the company that has wronged them and get the reviews removed. So if an organisation has bad reviews and its engaged on trustpilot they must be really bad.
Grian's early videos on his channel were all about how to make better looking buildings. The fundamental strategy is to start with a more interesting asymmetric shape as the base and vary the height in various places as well to produce a more interesting shape. For example the entrance could be a short corridor with well defined doorways and its only as high as the corridor needs to be breaking up the cube both on the bottom layer and vertically.
The second part of his steps I recall were depth. So take the corners and put structure and framing on the outside, do this across the entire build to give it that sense of being held up with columns.
The next is all about colour and details where small extra little pieces are added such as frames around the windows and stair cases used to fill corners of framing to make them gradient in.
I highly recommend those early Grian tutorial videos on youtube because they teach some fundamentals that can make any build look a lot better even when you start out with a grey cube,
Syndicate (the recent indy homage alas broke the formula too much).

The first attempt of many, the tech industry will normalise a subscription model alongside the hardware they just need to find the right justification that doesn't have universal push back. It worked for games, the trojan horse used was (often token) multiplayer addition and it will work in hardware too once they find the right combination.
It would carry a bit more weight if the UK wasn't continuing to ship them weapons they were using in this genocide. Infact that is something they should cease immediately.
AMD has unfortunately a long history of abandoning products before its reasonable on its graphics division. Its not really acceptable, up until earlier this year my NAS/server was running a 3600 and its only for power saving purposes I changed that as its still a very workable CPU in that role.
Its likely too early (For Wikipedia) just because the ICJ hasn't made a ruling. The genocide however is pretty plain to see and has been all year. Wikipedia has always done weird and often inconsistent things around the evidence allowed and sufficient to support statements in its articles so its not a new issue.
The one thing you shouldn't do with Covid is push hard while you have it, that increases the risk of developing Long Covid.
So far we have had between 4 and 6 waves a year, each of which is from a different variant. A variant breaks out and within 2 months its infected almost everyone at which point it dies down to become part of the background infections and a new variant takes over. There just isn't enough time to make a vaccine and roll it out to deal with any of that problem. The vaccines that are getting rolled out now are for variant that disappeared 6 months ago. Nothing we do is going to be very effective against this until the vaccines are a lot more effective against potential future variants or we drastically reduce the number of hosts it gets to replicate in.
That doesn't produce any practical competition however. Some vertical splitting of the search business seems reasonable so we end up with multiple companies doing search out of it.
It looks the majority of makers aren't going to pass Intel's extended warranty on. That is a real problem given they have now knowingly sold a faulty product by design.
More problems with Intel game crashes emerge, again with an "out of video memory" error, with Alderon Games advising the use of AMD CPUs instead.
This is a great look at a number of games over time from launch to months after launch benchmarking the patch releases as well as drivers. The end conclusion is the day 1 drivers that Nvidia/AMD/Intel produce are worth having and they improve performance and fix bugs but later drivers don't show as helping and the performance changes after that point are attributable to the game updates.
What is wild is Baldur's Gate loosing a tonne of performance in a patch and has never recover its prior performance and it can't utilise the GPU at all well now but there are other games showing not just increases but degradation of performance as well.
This post describes how I exported my 500+ YouTube subscriptions to an OPML file so that I could import them into my RSS reader. I go into fine detail about the scripts and tools I used. If you just want to see the end result the code is in this repository, which describes the steps needed to run it...
This used to be a lot easier, Youtube had an export function to OPML and you could just import it.
Its quite useful being able to follow all your Youtube channels with your RSS reader if you want to pick which you want to watch then also Metube and the browser plug-in makes it a right click and select to send it for download.
Intel could be on the verge of bringing another major shift in its architectural design after going big.LITTLE hybrid route. The company is seemingly looking to Hyper-threading on the next-gen.
Task Manager of prototype Intel CPU shows Core and Logical processor count are the same at 8.
This is still a relatively low end chip if its just 8 cores and a 13500 has 6 + 8 = 14 total so this is maybe a laptop processor. Hyperthreading probably doesn't make sense anymore.
Miami’s public official is the first of her kind.
Florida’s Miami-Dade County hired a chief heat officer, Jane Gilbert—the first position of its kind in the world.
Bills likely to rise again from January and consumer groups say energy costs remain ‘dangerously high’
I don't know if people are aware of the fact that you can see the wholesale price of energy but there are is a website that tracks it.
https://energy-stats.uk/wholesale-energy-pricing/
This clearly shows that wholesale energy prices this year have been lower than they were in 2021. Yet the price of electricity charged to people is much higher now than it was then.
I came across today one of my own comments on Reddit with a search on duckduckgo. It was still intact. The problem is I used shreddit to randomise and delete the entire contents of my account. My account comments and posts all show empty on my account pages on reddit so there should be nothing.
I did a site:reddit.com search using my username and found ~50 comments that Reddit has undeleted but also hide from my own account. I could still edit and delete them. Its curious that they don't appear on my accounts content on Reddit and yet a search engine can find them and they are still served by Reddit. Ex Reddit users who deleted their account contents should be aware this is happening and report it as a GDPR breach to their respective agencies if they are in the EU if they too find this has occurred.
Odds are many missed this one season show (a sort of mini series) looking at the progression of climate change and how it will impact peoples lives. Its a sci-fi show of sorts but also a science reality based on known consequences. It is not prematurely ended it is a coherent series telling a story which builds to a proper end with no intention to make it multiple seasons.
I thought it was well done and worth a watch, its on Apple TV+.
Turns out all the creamers are kind of bad!
