I would like to have a PSION as a portable writerdeck, but they are surprisingly expensive. Used ones can fetch 100€+

Just to give you some background information:

In comparison, Japanese sales figures for the original Door to Phantomile on the PS1 sold 51,441 units in its first week and went on to sell 159,284 units. The original JP release of Lunatea's Veil on the PS2 sold 45,639 units in its first week and 133,401 units in nine months.

This one is giving you 25851 sales in north america:

So there were never that much copies out there and there can't be that many copys left. The game was released 27 years ago - discs were thrown out, were destroyed, became scratched and unreadable, house fires, floods etc. happened, but even if every copy was still in existence: You would still only need 25852 people who are trying to collect all north american PSX releases to create a scarity.

Just be patient. Those new GPUs are so new, expensive and rare that no game has them as target hardware. Stay on your current setup and wait until games are catching up and prices go down.

It's not really unfixable. Square Enix just doesn't want to spend the money to update an older mobile game

Even if you're capturing carbon - the average American is producing ~14 tons of CO2 per year. That is quite a lot to store if you have captured it.

I'm kind of disappointed that this one is free and doesn't have a subscription model

You could just use a computer without internet. Get something without a network card. But your use-case is quite bad as you still need access to the internet and you even want Facebook, Reddit & YouTube, which totally will send you into your doomscrolling dead spiral again.

So some hints:

• you can download YouTube videos and view them offline
• there are lots of ways to disable the internet or slow it down. Nothing will work when you're the admin as you can and will disable them.
• if you get distracted doing your work, even black & white displays will not work. People totally didn't do their work in the past and watched a lot of black&white television or even read some books

Let's be honest - this will kill many subreddits. Of course some mods will start a paid subreddit next to an existing one and try to bring their users to subscribe. So expect those subs to become like those YouTubers who are constantly trying to push you to their Patreon.

If you think about it:

1. Reddit gives Google access to everything so that Google can train their AI
2. Google is now showing AI generated snippets on every search page and is pushing its own AI chatbot everywhere
3. Users are getting the answer they want from those AI generated answers Google generated from Reddit comments
4. Traffic to Reddit is collapsing

In the meantime, spez totally trashed his site, destroyed valuable communities and pushed away the mods that keep the place clean. Really, really great business strategy there.

Exactly this - Join-Lemmy.org has some (minor) UI and text issues. I'm also not quite happy about the sorting of the instances and the selection there. If f.e. you chose "General -> English" during onboarding, you get this screen here:

Hexbear? Some random 11 user instance from finland? Lemmy.world nowhere to be seen? They are randomizing the instances, which kind of makes sense to prevent the bigger ones from growing even more, but which might confuse new users.

But those are minor UI quirks that can be solved. All those reddit couch warriors that claim that everything should be completely redone exactly how they want it to be are insane. Normal users are able to understand the concept of instances.

Don't waste your time with stuff like this. Install an alternative app - OpenStreetMap is great and does have the correct name.

Be careful there - you're pushing electricity in your grid and there is a reason why only one system is permitted in Germany. Don't hook up two or three without talking with an expert.

That won't really work as that is the worst scenario for solar. I can give you real world data from southern germany. I don't have balcony solar, but a 13,4kWp solar system on my roof. Here is the data from this year:

As you can see, days are getting longer in Feb, generation is going up. To get a rough estimate, take my data and divide it by 16,75. That won't give you a lot of heating, esp. with a normal space heater. Even if you had a scenario, where your 800W solar system would produce 800W in the winter, your space heater will suck 2000W. Take a look at its power cord, you'll see how much it uses.

So yeah, 800W is not much, but will cover your running appliances like your fridge, freezer, router or computer on sunny days.

That kind of depends on what you're building. Standard is currently 800W (2 standard solar panels). Older models use 600W, other models are using 2000W and limit it to 800W. That doesn't make much sense, but skirts our local regulations that limits them to 800W, but of course generates more energy.

It then also depends on where you live. Can you point it to the sun? Do you live in sunny Spain or in northern Norway? In Germany a 800W system can produce 800-1200kWh per year. Our average electricity price is at 0.35€, so you'll save 280€-420€ a year. And those systems are dirt cheap, there are deals out there where you can get one for 200€. That is quite a good ROI for something that you can install in an hour.

Oh :( Do you have some more information about that? Which directions are being debated?

Paper is here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.06623

Why? Can you explain a little bit?

Let's be honest: That totally is a monopolistic tactic of Microsoft and regulators would do great to force this open. Force them to release a Linux Office. Force them to really make their file format transparent so that everybody can write working parsers

Most users could work with Linux without problems. They are using their browser, maybe a mail client and maybe some office suite to write stuff. If you mention this on the internet, there will always be someone who shows up and complains that his personal workflow with some obscure software that powers the nuclear reactor that he is running as hobby in his home won't work with Linux.

It's kind of the same with discussions about commuting/bicycles/cars. If you're discussing that maybe more people could commute by bike, the same people will show up and complain that this would not be possible for them because they live on a remote mountain top in the scorching desert far away from civilization and it's raining every day where they live.
