My trick is to “accidentally” trade on-call weekends with a colleague and “oh no, I have to work. Again… Next time though!”

This then incentivizes anyone with a home solar setup to never give back to the grid at all, because otherwise you’re feeding these assholes
In Denmark you’re paying to give back to the grid anyway.
- Comment on Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says 1 week ago:
There were more sports cars in the parking lot in the PS1 era than there were in the PS4 era
What a struggle. Should we then have tripled the prices so the poor publishers could afford 2 sports cars instead? Or, hear me out, just play indie games that’s higher quality and doesn’t have a useless middle man.
- Comment on Butter made from carbon tastes like the real thing, gets backing from Bill Gates 1 week ago:
Yet the other user is being scolded for a choice instead of actually contributing to the conversation. Maybe the user was indeed vegetarian and had dietary problems making butter a good source for protein.
Don’t judge other people’s diets. That’s just an ill-faithed attempt at winning them over to your side without having to show any concern for their life. Instead contribute to a conversation, ask and ye shall receive.

- Comment on Fart kontrol 1 month ago:
These signs are not Danish, not officially at least. “Fartkontrol” is a Danish word but the sign is not an official sign and in Denmark we wouldn’t split “fart” and “kontrol” into separate words.

It’s possible to host your own Arma server that can handle 100 players. Ironically Arma has a Battle Royale mode. It’s not rocket science.

- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 3 months ago:
Having healthy competition is a good thing and I’ve wished for a competitor to Steam for a long time until one day the monkey’s paw curled and we got Epic Game Store. To sum it up:
- Epic actively tries to introduce exclusivity deals to PC, something that goes very much against the nature of the platform. It is something we’re supposed to be above on PC and let console players deal with. PC gamers simply don’t want fragmentation in the market. We hate all the different shitty launchers publishers are making for the same reason too.
- Epic has a very hostile attitude towards Linux. Their anti cheat for example by default detects the mere fact of using Linux as a hack. For a long time if their anti cheat was included it was an absolute no go on Linux. Their store also works like crap on Linux, if at all.
- EGS lacks necessities for then to call themselves a good store like reviews, good support and refund policies, ease of mod support, wishlists, etc.
- Their UI is just plain bad.
But the main point is the first one. If they bothered making a good store they wouldn’t need to make most of PC gamers angry by introducing exclusivity deals, but they can’t be bothered to do that, so they go for hostile competition instead at the detriment of the customers.

- Comment on We're on the wrong timeline! 4 months ago:
Yes I do in fact. We need to lower the economical impact of production too, consumption is just a drop in the bucket. To put it in perspective, I can run my PC from a second hand generator. Most low end generators might even be able to run 10s of my PCs. A datacenter training the high end LLMs that I could be running needs a nuclear power plant worth of energy. We are talking multiple magnitudes of difference.
I suppose you don’t consider the coal-powered electricity that powers your EV when reflecting over your impact too?
- Comment on We're on the wrong timeline! 4 months ago:
You can run a fully fletched LLM at home but you can’t generate the model. The latter is a huge contributor to power consumption. Running it is peanuts in comparison.

- Comment on James Bond is responsible for many wasted vodka martinis 4 months ago:
As a vodka enjoyer, I do love me a good Vodka Martini. But that shaken thing Bond has going on is pure blasphemy.
It’s worth remembering that the taste doesn’t just come from the vodka so the vermouth is equally important.
- Comment on Something's wrong with denmark 5 months ago:
We don’t really learn the reason, we just memorise the word for the number. Kinda like you know the word “dog” means a four legged cute creature, but not why the name is “dog”. The old rules are not something we are teached, I just got curious after a confused foreigner made me think about the system for a second :p
