    Heat pumps (which are basically just air conditioners running in reverse) do “create” energy.

    By that I mean that they provide much more heating energy than the electricity they consume, because what they do is move heat that’s already there outside (but diffuse) and concentrate it in your house.

    Air conditioners cannot create energy (that is literally impossible) but they do move energy out of your home. So some models are now able to move that energy underground in the summer, where the heat doesn’t dissipate much at all, then re-use it in the winter as a heat pump to heat your home, making them both more eco-friendly and cheaper to run !

    Doing the right thing for the wring reason if you ask me. I don’t think it was ever a good idea to sell incest games in the first place, but banning them because they make payment processors uncomfortable ? Fuck that.

    I don’t want payment processors to be the arbiters of what we are allowed to play !


  • I like both games, but my playtime says I prefer Minecraft 😆 I think I like it because it’s kinda boring.

    Terraria is a lot of fun, yes, but I don’t feel like I can simply exist in that world, I have to play there. Whereas in Minecraft I can more easily just chill, get kinda bored, just walk around looking at stuff and think…

    I like how tranquil and slow Minecraft can be. It doesn’t feel like a game so much as an other world I have access to. I like that it leaves me alone with my thoughts.

    I have had no issues with sleep on macOS, so whatever they are doing we should try to copy !

    The same MacBook air, that used to last over a week with the lid closed on macOS, now needs to be charged every 3 days on Asahi NixOS.

    Linux is a much better operating system, even just for the sheer variety of software available, but power management isn’t quite there yet in my experience on this laptop.

    These are all backwards. The eyes are reversed so everything that’s supposed to be a hole looks like a bump and vice-versa.

    EDIT : TIL about cross v wall eyed. I dont understand why they would do it this way though ? The image is much less stable, and moving it at all completely breaks the effect. Wall-eyed really allows you to move and observe details without breaking.
