you do not need windows VM to game these days. Steam done fantastic work with proton, Majority of games are just works, some don't but not like we have shortage of games these days. CAD is different story.
Honesty I do not believe that many would prefer to live in units where others walking on you head than in a house. Yes you can be forced to live in such condition because unit it is all you can afford while having reasonable commute. Remove that requirements and people will spread. Historically cities were build for mutual protection after that to concentrate work force. It is no longer relevant, they have nothing to offer in modern world. Yes it is cheaper to confine population in cities, but tent camps are even cheaper. to run Cities are not something we should use in the future.
Language where use of uninitialized variable is warning ( not a core dump) should not be used. IT mostly in the past for modern PHP, but bad programmers habits remains. I have seen so horribly written PHP project, so i prefer to stay away.
We need place like that, and automated bots will just harmful. They will create impression of activity with lots of dead threads. I would say create another lemmy channel for just a bots and keep this one for discussion. Anyone who want to discuss particular bot post will just crospost it here.
In this case only answer is more houses. And lowering building code, so building for new house does not mean you have to pay mortgage for next 25 years.
We just should stop shovelling people into cities. Lots of people can work remotely and one who can't will follow one who can. Just tax companies for having office unless they do production. Yeh, yes it will crash prices in CBD, so not going to happen.
Time is in the essence.
We do not have time to build all these fancy,expensive and mostly experimental stuff. Planet will be already cooked by the time they a ready. There are lots of good potential technologies around. From hight altitude wind, to ocean current turbines, to orbital solar. Problem is none of them is ready for production.
There is are two well tested green technologies capable to provide stable power. Hydro and nuclear. We do not have place to build more hydro in Australia. Nuclear is only option.
Keep burning coal due to radiophobia is just stupid. And we will not get anything else in time.
Hydro is great. Problem is we will never have second Snow Hydro, there is no place to build second one. And we also nearly out of places to build hydro generation plants. TAS have some resources but transmission to/from is pita.
Yes cheap storage will solve lot's of problems. Problem is we do not have technology for that yet which is scalable. Snow Hydro 2 is pretty much all we can do for gravity storage in Australia. Only other option is batteries. There is no production capacity to cover demand in that scale, and will take long time to build it up. And for some reason no one takes account ecological impact of building all these batteries/solar/wind turbines. They all very material heavy on per kW basis.
It is a myth that solar and wind are cheaper at scale than conventional generation. It is only the case if covenantal generation is pay for all unpleasantness of renewable instability. As soon too much renewables is in the grid you have to pay to keep it stable.
There are 3 main method:
Overprovisoning - to compensate for annual cycles. Australia is happy here as we consume more power at summer than at winter.
Long range transmission - to compensate for local weather
Storage - to take care od daily cycle.
It is all costs lots of money and not required now as it was taken care off. This is why solar/wind is cheap.
