To me, this is the kind of limitation that we should innovate away from. Computers can be so personalized and we should let the sky be the limit

That thing looks sick! This is the kind of innovation I want out of the tech industry
Okay so I don't have Linux, i honestly don't know much about it. But I have dreamed for a while now of a future in which I could use 2 MMO gaming mice to bring my computer usage to the next level. Now I don't think that most computers would know how to handle 2 mice, and I don't think a single game would either, but if there is any that could, it has to be a Linux right? Is that even theoretically possible? Do you think we could ever have that future?

It was 10 years into playing Skyrim on my 4th medium of playing it that learned the courier wasn't supposed to be naked. I thought it was a comment on his poverty or something

I'm starting to think I would be happier in a different relationship than I am in. Not with anyone in particular, we just fight a lot and maybe it's time to stop

A website where you click something that says "see what you get" or "here's what is true about you" and then it gives you one of a handful of affirmations like "you're a good person" "you're worthy of love"

What a bad game though. So unfocused, such random difficulty spikes. Little kitty big city did it better. Though the graphics in stray were great

Whenever I think about this article, I think about how they could not have possibly known how emissions would grow, and they were perfectly reasonable to frame it this way. And if things stayed at that rate, we would have been able to do something about it so easily when we started getting worried

You would likely start from the center of your galaxy, then pick a culturally relevant star near the outskirts, in our case Sol, and call that, well, something (Solbound?) Then work your right angles from there. You could pick other cultural stars in the other directions too.
Most galaxies are pretty flat, so you'd probably have to reference a conveniently positioned other galaxy for your up and down.

Idk, words are tools as well. Right now it's being used to wake people up to the fact that republican policies are very invasive, harmful, and unpopular. I get being uncomfortable, but this is just language being language. And it's overall going to be beneficial.

Passive homes (a building designed for minimum losses on heating and cooling) are cheaper and easier to construct than you might think. In fact, it's nearly the default code in Massachusetts.

Electric vehicles that can take off and land vertically, but then fly like a plane, are already being sold and used by hospitals and shipping companies. Equipped to move up to 6 passengers or 2 pilots and 3 pallets, its a small yet versatile tool. These vehicles have 5 batteries that give it a range of over 350 miles using current battery technology, though the batteries are intended to be swapped over the life of the aircraft, much like the engine of a traditional aircraft, however, future batteries could feature improvements, meaning the vehicle gets *better* over time. The redundancy that Electric motors allow more easily than mechanical motors means this aircraft is far safer than anything else in the air.

The energy system we have today does not match the solarpunk future we dream of. If we work towards the right energy system today, we may just have a solarpunk tomorrow

The take that struck me the most came towards the end. And it's that when you electrify, not only are you not burning fossil fuels to work your stove, but you're also not burning fossil fuels to power the drilling equipment, to ship the crude oil, to refine it, to pump it to your stove. A large portion of our critical energy demand is just getting fossil fuel energy to its point of use, so small amounts of electrification and efficiency improvements at point of use have large impacts on the upstream emissions

Climate Tech Reporter David Roberts discusses battery recycling with ceo of a company that is working on scaling up a newer fossil fuel free method of melting down and separating battery metals. This method has advantages of not burning up most of the valuables and sending them into the open atmosphere as well as not requiring a constant stream of harsh chemical feed, or having chemical waste. Today his small scale plant is handling mostly the waste from faulty primary manufacturing, and is looking to scale up in time for the 2030 boom in lithium battery recycling.

A beautiful medieval sounding song features a wisened warrior recounting his regret. As a young man, a dragon plagued his lands, the beast with a forked tongue and breathe of fire, surely it must be slain. Before he goes, his father warns him to know his enemy well. He sneaks into the lair, kills the sleeping dragon, and looks across the room to see a baby dragon, and he realized that he killed the poor things loving parent who was just living it's life. He did not understand the enemy he just slew. Now he listens to his own son talk of an enemy plaguing their lands, forked tongue and breath of fire, clearly a problem, but instead of a dragon, it's men of Muslim faith. The father begs his son to truly know his enemy before going to war. The story in this song is simple and maybe heavy handed in its message, but beautiful none the less. I probably cried the first 20-30 times I listened to it. I will always love this song that teaches kindness and wisdom. If Songs with good storytelling get you everytime, you'll love it too.
