Why not come back? :D

Older cars actually followed good practices about the interior and gauges lighting. All used red, yellow or orange backlights to not impact your night vision.

Now cars are full of bright white screens…

Shit, I watched a Polish movie with exactly this theme

Highly recommend

This hits so much.

But mah profits!

737 Max is still a developing example of what happens when you leave corporate to self-regulate themselves.

Then I don’t know why, but I am sure over 30% of heat in my house escapes through the roof.

Yeah I lived in flats before, it’s a totally different story, unless your flat is on the last floor or on the corner there is not much heat loss assuming your neighbors also use the heating.

Invoice from yesterday for December 2023. I used 201 m3 of gas, calculated by provider as being equal to 2224kWh of power for which I paid 682.81 PLN (157 € to be exact) in total including taxes and surcharges. So 3.397 PLN or around 0.78 EUR per m3.

December was one of the coldest months this season. Last year I used maximum of 250 m3 per month which happened to be January/February. This then exceeded 200€

This includes both warm water and heating using low-temperature floor heating. Current thermostat settings give me 22C on the base floor and 20C on the first floor (where most heat escapes, obviously). I also have mechanical ventilation with recuperation.

Shit’s expensive.

With current prices of electricity, the same heating power with perfect constant COP of 3 (not possible with December temps for air heat pump) would cost me 666 PLN. (Nice). How can I offset the cost of installing it in the first place LOL.

Lucky you. 175 square meters, 25cm styrofoam on walls and 30cm rock wool on ceiling and I pay 200€ per month in winter for gas heating in Poland. Solar panels are not economical in current regulations and billing rules have changed so those with heat pumps pay at least twice us much in coldest months.

We are fucked from every angle.

Why downvotes? They are both right, with an exception of MacBooks. Otherwise, you are limited by use cases predicted by the manufacturer, even if it "just works".

I use both iPhone and MacBook, with the latter mostly as a Unix that, again, "just works", but I can even go as far as compile whole GNU userspace natively with Gentoo Prefix (one of many options).

Now, with all that context, that Poles where coexisting peacefully with Jews before the war, that countless of them have sacrificed their own lives and lives of their families to help them during their brutal extermination, even they now get called antisemitic when pointing out Israel’s tactics are no different than what Hitler did to them.

It’s worse! There are guys on YT disassembling them and finding not single-use alkaline batteries inside but fully rechargeable Li-Ion batteries (for use in hobby projects). Forget the environment, how on earth is this economically justifiable for producers? People buying them pay not for nicotine but for all the electronics inside with a small addition of substance for their addiction.

Brother for life.

You bet it. I got one toner refill for like $6 for Brother laser printer which is happily chugging along with factory installed drum after 2600 pages printed during over 6 year period. No DRM, no driver drama, and you know what happens to jet printers with such sporadic usage.

Just wanted to chime in to, first of all, thank you for the fantastic work that you are doing, both here in running the instance and in general for the fediverse. I envy your energy to do all these things and as a person with knowledge and experience in various areas of Computer Science and IT, hats off to you. Where do you get all that motivation from?!

As for the topic on hand, I really really love it here mainly that this instance has so far avoided the defederation wars and I can enjoy all discussions from all other instances, including hexbear. Maybe it’s only me, but I hope there are more like me that want to come to their own conclusions based upon discussions from left, right and centre. But maybe it’s also because I mostly read and not write…

Defederation from my PoV is like censorship. People get more extreme in their views when they are not exposed to other ideas and opinions conflicting with their own beliefs. This kills any kind of civilized discussion in the long term.

Also, many of us forget that, even though we might not be fully anonymous, who we are here is not what defines us in the real life. Someone can come and say whatever, that I am the most miserable human on this planet, but is that who I really am? Would one say the same when met face to face?

Peace out, thank you for what you’ve done. Do or don’t keep it up, do whatever you please, it is all yours and you have already accommodated us not even once.

Ah yes, Harold :) I forgot

Looks like a son of a guy from another meme with awkward smile

The reason is SIMD instructions / vectorized assembly instructions with consideration for delay slots, instruction latency, memory access times etc., for which GCC and Clang optimizers are both terrible and cannot automatically transform C code to them in any but simple cases.

This is also a reason why specialized DSP processors with SIMD capabilities have dedicated proprietary compilers for them.

Debian unstable FTW!

We don’t have this kind of trucks in the Europe AT ALL and people still go fishing, do home repairs, carry heavy or large loads. This is all American lifestyle.
