In case you don’t know your Bible stuff
May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership. 9 May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. 10 May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes. 11 May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor. 12 May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children. 13 May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation. 14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD; may the sin of his mother never be blotted out. 15 May their sins always remain before the LORD, that he may blot out their name from the earth. 16 For he never thought of doing a kindness, but hounded to death the poor and the needy and the brokenhearted.

Silksong news, probably??

- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 1 week ago:
Let me start by saying I have a few thousand hours in Hollow Knight and I do for the most part enjoy the Git Gud type of games.
There are entire genres of games that I can’t enjoy because they’re too open/chill and if they had a hard mode I would probably really like them. This is the same problem the other way.
Maybe wait and some modders might make the QoL parts you want available, maybe never play it, maybe watch a streamer do it. But not every game has to be fun for everyone.
- Comment on Gamers frustrated as Hollow Knight: Silksong crashes stores on launch 1 week ago:
I noticed, and did a lot of refreshing to eventually get it (over 2 hours after launch) but mostly it’s just funny and so so cool that a few Australian guys can make a game and it takes down every store. Straight badass.

Same, right back to it but now there’s a ghost item in my cart. Maybe this is worse than having it

I got it into my cart!
I can’t open my cart, but it’s in there

Still, repairability is right up there with privacy for me, so I’m quite happy with the hardware right now

At night?
We use less power at night. We generate a LOT less power at night. Because the sun is off for the most part.

Your mentality is old school. We have often more need at night than during the day for non renewable electricity right now
- Comment on Japan Just Switched on Asia’s First Osmotic Power Plant, Which Runs 24/7 on Nothing But Fresh Water and Seawater 2 weeks ago:
This is a very old school and outdated mentality.
In my part of the EU this year, we had very very many days of negative sale prices and having to curtail wind parks because just solar and wind were making up more than demand during the day. Afaik we only curtailed at night one time.

TIL this exists. Super cool.
Hvad koster det?

A good bit harder since I’m not a native Dane. In some more years when I’m a full fledged citizen I can start in earnest, but I’ll ask now at least
- Comment on The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software 3 weeks ago:
Fascinating. I knew about the key fob but not the little pedometer looking thing.
I wonder how it actually works, since a lot of it is integrated into apps and I don’t see a spot to instead type a code. I’ll have to play with it

There’s a post about this on the Danish community here every few months. Afaik no one has any proper progress on it other than carrying a burner device or something

I do, but as far as I was aware my Fairphone can’t run Graphene? I would love to keep using my Fairphone over buying Google’s hardware at this point
- Comment on The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software 3 weeks ago:
What? You can’t use an alternative app. It’s government issued identification and required for life here.
I (and as far as I can tell, all others) can’t get it to work outside of android
- Comment on The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software 3 weeks ago:
For me, MitID in Denmark. 100% required for society and life here, requires Google Play Services now :(
I tried e/os on my Fairphone for a bit. I think I could make it all work okay enough besides that. I should write people at the government or something I guess?
- Comment on The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home. 3 weeks ago:
I used to have a drive to work, and it suckkkkkkkkkked. I moved, and can now cycle to work or take a nice train. I suddenly do not mind my 30 minute commute at all. I look forward to my bike ride most of the time, and I love the feeling after having done it.

Looks like a fun festival! It’s a weird juxtaposition to see, I like it. I’ll find an æbleskiver stand eventually (more common in the winter) and snap a pic for comparison 🥳

Æbleskiver is plural, æbleskive would be singular. No s needed (but those look great!)

What’s really neat about this problem is that the 3D example, a bird in a cage, was solved sooner and is much simpler
- Comment on Zuckerberg says people without AI glasses will be at a disadvantage in the future 1 month ago:
I agree tech bro wise completely. But there’s all sorts of Engineering strides to come still. Plenty we don’t yet know about.
But computing has been a solved problem for many years on all but the most intense levels. Since then silicon valley has been desperately trying to hang on to their former glory days like a has-been football player in his 50s
