To quote a line from Interstellar.

“We can care deeply - selflessly - about those we know, but that empathy rarely extends beyond our line of sight.” -Dr. Mann.

Soup ,

My dad will help literally anyone who asks him directly or is even just the friend of a person he knows. He’ll just hand them things he owns or set aside time or just give them free whatever. When he was a manager of a team for a time he was super progressive about it telling his team to take care of themselves while still overworking himself so it’s not like he’s a default “fuck corporate” guy or anything.

Ask him to pay taxes, though, and he suddenly goes full conservative. Tell him it’s hard for servers and he’ll say they should get a better job. Mention arts degrees and he’ll say that’s why education shouldn’t be free. It’s the weirdest fuckin’ thing.

benjhm , to Degrowth - Economics as if People mattered in Civilization's Peak Power in 10 to 20 Years?

This makes sense for mid-latitudes, but the timing of peak power will depend on how much energy the current youth in India and children in central Africa will aspire to use as they get older. That's hard to 'predict' - it's their choice of development pathway, but hope they don't follow China's route with so much cement, steel, roads, there are other options.

The global south will need a lot of air conditioning to simply survive. However, a lot of that energy should be carbon neutral if renewable trends continue.

Tylerdurdon , to retrocomputing in What was the last IBM ThinkPad?

You know, I was thinking the Thinkpad was going to go to crap after Lenovo bought it, but overall I didn't have anything negative to say. I wore mine out, keeping it way beyond it's end of life and it kept chugging. It was difficult to part, in fact, but so goes change.

Clusterfck ,

We switched from Dell to Lenovo at work and the amount of times I’ve had to totally reformat a computer for something just randomly not working right and not being able to find another fix for it has gone to almost zero. Before, with 20 computers, every couple months we had to reformat at least one laptop.

Not a single person has complained about missing Dell in two years.

@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

One thing to keep in mind which he didn't mention is that these PCMs change volume slightly, thus sealing them in fixed containers is a bit problematic.

But yes, these are very interesting and I have also been thinking of a nice thermal storage project with them. Putting a pack of higher temperature PCMs behind a basic wood stove for example might simulate the effect of a much more advanced thermal storage clay stove pretty well.

ImplyingImplications , to PC Gaming in Dead Game News: Response from the European Commission [companies shut down single player games you bought with always online DRM]

Hot take: if you buy games filled with anti-consumer bullshit, you get what you fucking deserve. Stop. Stop buying single player always online games.

I know it's hard. The trailer looks so cool that your credit card falls out of your pants and you buy the game before it's even released. You even spend the extra to get that sweet looking horse armor. You even install the kernel level anticheat. You even install the launcher. You even create a third party account. You even agree to the EULA. You even buy the battle pass. You even buy the lootboxes. Then, after the corporation has taken as much as they could from you, they shutdown the game! Waaaah! Please government help me! EU Parliament do something!

Take responsibility. Nobody forced you to buy the game. You didn't need to buy the game. Ubisoft literally told you "get comfortable not owning your games". If you're still buying their games you deserve what you get.

This isn't working, it never have, consumers can't 'vote with their money' in face of constant capitalism and heavy marketing.

This is why regulations are needed.

NocturnalMorning ,

You could say that about almost any product. Heck, you could say that about jobs as well. Don't want to work in the coal Mines in the 1800s and get paid in company credits, don't work at the coal mine.

It doesn't work so well when everybody is doing the same thing and forcing it on people. Regulation exists for a reason.

@Five@slrpnk.net avatar

I really like her project, focus, and presentation. I appreciate that video makers need to have some kind of income.

Whenever BetterHelp is used to sponsor a video, I think this video (YT) should also appear.

I'm not calling for censorship of videos that use it as a sponsor, just spreading awareness of that vendor's reputation and history. I know that making content for YouTube is an extremely stressful job, and having a reliable source of income greatly reduces that anxiety. I hope Abby Cox continues to make great videos, I really appreciate her attention to detail and thoughtfulness and empathy for people who most of society has swept under the rug.

I wasn't aware BetterHelp was so awful, good to know. With my use of SponsorBlock, I generally don't see sponsored ad content in videos. I'll try to briefly check their sponsors before posting.

Kowowow , to Videos in Juneteenth Explained To White People - Josh Johnson

I hope it covers the name cause it's a pretty dumb sounding name like if I had to guess everything would be focused on the 16th since june is the sixth month

Ashyr ,

It's literally just a portmanteau of June Nineteenth.

Portmanteaus are super common and lots of fun. I have no idea why you'd take issue with this particular one.

Kowowow ,

Using the 16th would also be a portmanteau but the nineteenth is almost rhyming which might be some other special thing

Ashyr ,

It’s not like the day was chosen randomly. June 19th is when the emancipation proclamation was read in Texas, the last state to hear it.

Kowowow ,

huh that's neet I never looked into us stuff that much

@steal_your_face@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s ok not knowing stuff but you’re coming in with a false confidence saying the dumbest shit. I hope you’re trolling.

Kowowow ,

What false confidence? I don't know what I'm saying that sounds confident

danc4498 ,

Portmanteau is a fun word as well!

He does! It's not a number that black people made up.

Kowowow ,

I was just saying I hope it's something covered since I couldn't watch it at the time, honestly I've only started hearing about juneteenth in the last couple years

Venator ,

I ain't watching a 19 minute video about it, I'm in the comment section for the summary...

Kowowow ,

I just like using comments like bookmarks because I always forget about stuff I save or star

t3rmit3 , to World News in Gaza aid pier removed, satellite images show | REUTERS

It was always just a distraction to divert news from asking who was stopping aid getting in, by giving them a narrative about "need to build this pier first". Sleight of hand for propagandists to exploit.
