- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 8 hours ago:
Next phone I get I’ll get fairphone and check the market for an alternative OS at that time. This might be the push that the Linux phone community needs to make it proper and good.
We currently need a KDE phone that they sell where I can buy a KDE phone and support them that way.
The pieces are coming together for Linux notably:
- SPA support instead of apps.
- Waydroid
- Core components such as calling, sim card actions, recording, speakers can be provided by fairphone via drivers.
I’m getting pretty sick of Google and other corpos locking down Android so fuck them, third best phone OS will have to do and I’ll do banking in the mobile browser page.

Yeah, capturing it from the source is way better than capturing from some random air. A capture rate of 90% as an addon to current coal/gas infra including cement production would buy us a ton of transition time

Don’t count solar out, the growth trajectory is looking like it’ll supply most of the world’s electricity in a couple of decades. Solar will be the MVP that makes all these inefficient energy uses more viable.

Only if there was a small pipe or “smoke stack” that could emit these in super high concentrations of CO2 where we could just pipe it straight to the ground instead. Maybe we find all of those we could even stop them producing in the first place and leaving all the carbon in the ground. 🤔

- Comment on What strategy would you use to estimate the number of hazelnuts 3 days ago:
I’m going to guess the cup is around 12 nuts high and 5 nuts in diameter at the center.
Let’s assume it’s a cylinder to get the volume (2/5)^2 * pi * 12 as the volume or around 236 nuts.
The packing density of a sphere is 74% but the edges do play a factor so nudge it down by a bit to get 70%
So I’m going to guess 165 nuts.

- Comment on If I stood on a precision scale and farted, would I get lighter or heavier? 2 weeks ago:
Couple of nuances with this that are not fully accounted for.
- Farting in a vacuum will make the scale go down because the fart has a non-zero mass.
- Direction of fart and speed of exiting will also affect the scale when farting against a base not connected to the scale such as a platform.

Excellent distro, would be careful about going to distros without systemd for desktop setup. Alpine is absolute banging for server containers.
- Comment on My new laptop chip has an 'AI' processor in it, and it's a complete waste of space 2 weeks ago:
It’s tricky to use in programming though for non neural network math, I can see it used in video compression and decompression or some very specialised video game math.
Video game AI could be a big one though where difficulty would be AI based instead of just stat modifiers.

- Comment on I self hosted a World of Warcraft server. 1 month ago:
Yeah, I might actually play wow since I can reduce the XP scaling by a lot. It goes from 50 mobs at lvl 10 to 600+ to level up at lvl 60. I have a 7mo old no way I have time for that hahaha.
I use SQL for work so I can mod the DB easily to remove the exponential scaling in favor of linear scaling like mob XP scales.

You can mod the database for creatures to drop more xp, gold and loot from the looks of it.
- Comment on I self hosted a World of Warcraft server. 1 month ago:
Update, I downloaded the VMangos database. It looks like it might be possible to edit drop rates with creature_loot_template(ChanceOrQuestChance) and XP gain by using creature_template(xp_multiplier)
I haven’t hosted anything yet but it could be tested by editing a Chicken’s xp_multiplier from 0.0 to 1.0

I’ve been seriously turned off by the grind of WoW. Are you able to do something like reduce the XP level scaling or something so that every level is like 30m and improve drop rates?

There has been no change in the way microwaves work aside from circuit board and adding an inverter to control the power of the microwaves. Microwaves function the same as a laser pointer except the emit photons with a frequency of 2.45GHz.
