  I’ll say it again, because I think the idea is a practical solution to the issue: electricity and water usage should be charged at reverse volume, the more you use, the more expensive it becomes.

  This would actually incentivise companies to reduce their usage, to question if they actually need that new AI data centre that will eat up all the gains in renewable electricity production and require fossil fuel plants to continue running, it’ll reduce the crypto miners as well, and encourage everyone to try to reduce their usage.

  The knock on effect of this is that electricity actually becomes cheaper for everyone.

  Such a great series, Toby Jones is so wonderful in this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the most "Indie Feeling" game that is definitely NOT from an Indie Studio?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All of the Ubi-art games were great, Rayman Legends, Valiant Hearts and Child of Light, all fantastic games. And then Ubisoft said they would only make open world games. Idiots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vegan drink Oatly can’t call itself ‘milk’, judges rule⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While oat milk is relatively new, almond milk and soya milk are older than the legal protections the milk industry is trying to use. Almond milk has been almond milk for near enough a thousand years, soya milk is close to twice as old. Basically the word milk hasn’t referred exclusively to mammal milk for as long as the word milk has existed.

  They do very little when the issue is massive wealth inequality and the hoarding of wealth by very few. This spends around £15 per person. It’s doing diddly squat.

  If you haven’t played What Remains Of Edith Finch, and you like games with an excellent narrative, treat yourself and get it. It’s a short game, you can complete it in an evening, but the story it tells is beautiful.

  I just got myself an Analogue Pocket to play GB and GBA games I missed over the years, but realise I can also play some of these fan made new releases. Are there any others that anyone can recommend?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Players are now less "accepting" that games will be fixed, say Paradox, after "underestimating" the reaction to Cities: Skylines 2's performance woes⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t forget Final Fantasy XIV. That game got a full rewrite, top to bottom and came out far better than its original state.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“Extreme” Broadcom-proposed price hike would up VMware costs 1,050%, AT&T says⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to work for a major telecoms compass until recently, working on their VMWare stack and to say they are a major customer of VMWare is to put it mildly. The cost for VMWare has skyrocketed after the Broadcom deal, so while the team were gearing up for the next gen system utilising more tools from the ESXi stack, now that’s entirely abandoned and instead they’re tooling up to replace it. That’s over 500,000 VMs across a dozen or so datacenters. Broadcom’s actions may make them a lot of money in the next few years as their customers are forced to pay this huge hike, but it won’t last for long.
