I didn't realize these were not paywalled. So now I've read the whole thing. Thanks!

You can run these on a gaming computer, especially the crappy/funny ones. I tried it a while back when it was all new and shiny and weird. (Haven't touched it since, it got boring very quickly)

Tu bloques l'air du ventilo avec. Je te conseille plutôt de placer la poche de froid (emballé dans un torchon) entre ton dos et ta chaise. Effet immédiat pour le confort de travail. Ta pauvre poche de froid ne peut rien faire contre l'inertie thermique de ta pièce (une clim c'est au moins 2kw)

Some peoples need to re-learn enjoying a story just by its flow, character dynamics, or art. Most stories don't have lore to begin with. It's quite insane how the Marvel/DC Universe changed how stories are perceived in nerd culture. Thank goodness things are changing.

Tu peux juste supprimer le feed Discover. Et le remplacer par ce que tu veux. De base, Discover fait un mélange entre ce qui est populaire sur Bluesky, et ton graph social (les follows de tes follows ...).

The 0.5% is an upper figure. My guess for books is 1/3rd of that. 423.4MT of paper and board produced in 2021. If you manage to get how much paper is used by the publishing industry, you will be able to figure out its share of the global market (and thus its share in CO2 emissions)

Even better: it's recommended to properly tag! Feed aggregators work on keywords and hashtag. And people can subscribe to those (and I'm sure there's some for art commission, you should make sure your post are detected by those feed).

If anyone curious: the IEA says pulp and paper industry produce ~2% of global emission (a little less than aviation). Getting the footprint for publishing is trickier, Cepi report 25% of their production goes to "Newsprint and other Graphics paper". So we're looking at less than 0.5% of global CO2

Receiving gifts from strangers feels weird. And asking for a gift feels weirder. I guess we're much more comfortable earning money and spending it on things we want.

I know Bluetooth below v4 can have a lot of latency. That's why most gaming gear avoided it for years. Check the version your PC is using. Also, be sure to not have too many Bluetooth devices connected at the same time (3 devices is already pushing the limit of v4).

"XKCD", "Kill 6 Billions Demons", "ClawShot!" (Webtoon canvas), "Nerd & Jock" (Webtoon canvas), "Sarah's Scribble" (everywhere), "Twokind" ... Dropping a bit in the popularity ladder, I would say: "3rd Voice", "Johnny Wander", "Ten Earth Shattering Blow", "Tamberlane", "Oglaf" ...

Webtoon Originals are reaching Tapas level of quality. I've not seen a single recent release worth my time (I guess the next step in this race to bottom is automatic translation?). Tho you still have some old dogs like @tboredman.bsky.social doing cool stuff. No idea how they manage.

Trying to apply it to a random Dallas crossing. Let's say I'm by bike, from ALDI going home up north, and I'd rather use S Franklin St. I don't see how you can avoid trapping traffic in between tho.

I feel like South Korea figured that out a long time ago. But in the west the problem is monetization. The classic publishers are uninterested due to poor biz perspective. So the space is mostly inhabited by passionate. I guess crowdfunding make it more viable now.

Yhea, some tech giant claims (like Amazon) are very hard or impossible to double-check (I know because I tried), some smaller datacenters are more open (like Scaleway). It does make economic sense, though: renewable has a fixed cost for decades. Few energy sources have that.

To achieve energy transition, the only option is political will (from gov or individual), to say "I will not use electricity from this power plant we already built". Because the market always optimize the assets that already exists. But we need to turn off these old plants NOW!

But the datacenter industry is a huge driving force for renewable energy. So the main footprint of that will be construction, and possibly water (which is already quite bad). Due to how the electricity market works, renewable is only ever built if there's NEW power demand. (1/2)

Oh no, I have fallen into a rabbit hole! Look at this from 1905! Someone should make a list of all of these by publication date. The style innovation between 1895 and 1920 is insane

Note: the English wiki page "History of comics" is very short and lacking images. Look at what's on the French one for 1880! There's a part discussing tech improvement and its impact on comics, the main tech allowing cheap comics is from 1870

Of course any art need a medium, but we could be looking at the causality the wrong way: the print tech could have been improved to address a new popular market. As for the limitation, they're localized! Europe and Japan had very different limitation, yet all converged toward a similar presentation

I think it's more of a social evolution. People that previously were not able (or allowed) to draw suddenly could, which resulted in quick innovation and evolution. Creating a new artistic medium that was, at the time, by the working class, for the working class.

I don't think so. It took centuries after the printing press for modern comics to appear. Even when newspaper were able to print drawing and images, it took a long time for comics to adopt the form we know today (with speech bubbles, gutters, on an entire page)

I fail to see how an assassination can be **politically** good. Assassination is the ultimate defeat of politics, the renunciation of political discourse, the acknowledgement that you cannot win without violence. Depending on your morals, it could be **morally** good.

I never had issue with any USB cables (C or previous standard). But I only plug my device when necessary. I guess less time being plugged means less chance of breaking things? Also, I don't have animals playing/chewing my cables.

Got ASM, unsurprisingly ;) you can't see your score for the others, sadly. Random though I got during the quiz: - music "where's synthwave? house? what is hyperpop? help" - group project "lol all 4" - color "this pink is probably not *neon* pink, and there's no blue. Hello darkness my old friend"

We all know Facebook is one of the worst social network out there (and everything it touched get contaminated). There's plenty of research paper showing its disastrous effect on people and society. Yet it's still the most popular one. Regularly used by 2B peoples. I cannot understand them.

Most of the audience never cared for originality and/or quality to begin with. Popularity is only weakly linked to quality (it's a well documented bias). Regularity is king. And that make intuitive sense: just look at the longest running TV show, same thing, same peoples, at regular hour, each week

Yes, they're lamps in Doom. But in the case of Tomb Raider, it's just bad (world) design, which is a different issue ;) (I think they should've just made the climbing more automatic, since they don't do anything with it gameplaywise anyway)

It depends. In modern Doom, the green light provides a lightweight transition to the next combat arena, while still allowing to reward player that explore with hidden passages. Not all game are about exploration, not all gamer want exploration, and that's ok. AAA can afford gameplay diversity.

This looks unusable to me. By "web of lines between events floating in workspaces" you mean states machines ? It's an insanely powerful and popular paradigm, a lot of critical software is conceived that way, because it's easier to find lock state in your design.

That's around the load of an internet box, add a fiber decoder, a TV box, and you end up with 10W-15W of power doing mostly nothing. Some ISPs are intelligent and provide a single hardware that you can use as a small NAS/Home server. But most don't offer that.

That can quickly become stale. A good example is superhero comics: every few decades a new author pick the stuff they like about a character, and build something with it. And it becomes the new popular thing others will build on top. The only important thing: is the author good enough for that?

Confluence is the common choice for mid/large companies. I've heard Tracim is an alternative. Never tried. If you only care about documentation, mainly in text, for developer: git + Markdown is a good "no bullshit" choice.
