Right on. and PV get’s less efficient when it gets hot, I’m unsure if there’s enough waste heat to do anything useful. but there is at least a marginally good reason to cool them.

They used to be cheaper. Solar is bananas cheap now

How about running water through the back side of the panels to keep them cool, transfer the heat into a heat battery (sand) then us that to assist your hot water heater.

I and strongly against windows and what microsoft is doing, But you are absolutely correct. If you stick to a build/update that’s not trying to brick your NVME, windows desktop uptime is very reasonable.

We’re not scoping on stability of thier updates, or the ability to update, just uptime on a run of the mill patched version, it goes as long as you’d need it to for most people.

Now, my linux desktop can go for very very long stretches without updates/reboots if I cared to do it. but windows 11 isn’t bad in the way that 95, 98, 2000 were. I’d even argue that win10 was more stable or at the very least had far less breaking issues.

My wife checks most of those boxes. Now I can’t tell if I have a thing…

I’ve been working my way into the fringes of many different cuisines. Finding ingredients that you can’t find in most markets. I’m just sick of the US standard, garlic, onion, paprika, basil, oregino, bullion, salt, pepper that just makes up 99% of food here. Everything good is some offshoot of KFC flavors :)

Really good stuff in many cuisines is an expensive labor of love. You can find restaurants with lots of regional remote food, but it’s all a sickly immitation, worked down to a price. Carribean spiced goat is like a $30-$40 plate. You make some indian cuisine right, the spices might run you $15 alone. Nigerian Food is AMAZEBALLS.

I’m not saying that bombs were a good or acceptable idea, but I am saying that if it weren’t for the bombs, none of us would have read that manifesto to consider this post.

Yes, you can reduce it much faster assuming one food doesn’t contaminate random other foods and it’s not a workplace hygiene thing.

You could also ask for a bowl, dressing on the side, take it home, try the tuna, 12h try the dressing, 12h try the veggies.

Repeatedly off tuna without smell would be kind of hard to replicate.

My bet is on the sauce (like they kept reflling the same contaminated container)

Repeatedly getting sick from a work surface or employee hygiene seems sketch. up to 50% of the times and i’d be on board, but every time…

no no no, it’s

𝑅𝑛=𝑅0(1−𝑓)𝑛

years off.

We keep getting closer, but by smaller increments.

I was so hoping helion was going to work. They were trying to recapture the pulse in magnetic confinement when fusion pulsed. Eliminating steam would be awesome.

I’ve seen stock traders where everyone on the floor had half that many. A few of them had 9.

When they’re looking up trades or news, they open a ridiculous number of windows while doing research.

They have 4 screens just to watch the markets and handle in-house controls.

What’s striking about this is the amount of whitespace on the screens. They are only using 1/2 - 1/4 of their screen space.

if all forms of verification are deal breakers, we either need to get laws made to make it unlawful, or we need to boycot services that require it.

The government is still going to do whatever it wants, and they already mishandle all your data.

all what sensitive data?

Speak to a customer service agent while they ask you a few timed-dated questions

Video chat with a customer service agent.

if it’s a real name account:

Small credit card charge to a card in your name.

provide a scan of a utility bill

provide a scan of a car title

So from my PoV the question is whether it’s better that Linux will be prohibited for noncompliance

That’s the same slope.

It it better that systemD add a column?

Is it better than ubuntu starts enforcing it?

Is it better that they just outlaw software that doesn’t comply?

For me, that line starts back at the very beginning. There’s no room for FOSS for Authoritarianism. I’m not interested in giving them a few inches of rope so that they can hang us with it later. If governments want to use Linux, they can, they can even fork it and make their own changes. They don’t get to demand how our own software tracks us.

You see that’s the inches part.

No, we won’t invade freedom

Well, we won’t invade freedom, but we’re just going to put this field in so that someone can comply easily if they want to

Well, not all the distros require you to log your age

Well, you can cheat or lie

History is absolutely full of people taking the temperature of the water they’re in and going, well, it’s not boiling yet…

It’s not nothing, freedom is often taken by inches.

Next step will be to require Video with bop-it style live instructions, stick out your tongue, blink one eye, pick your nose, make finger guns, smile, frown. They won’t care that it’s not disability friendly.

I wonder how much that would reduce their traffic. Would there be anything but niche groups left?
