Tl;dr: UC Berkeley hypothesized that committing to retrofitting an entire block of buildings to green energy would be cheaper than doing one building at a time. They found a block with willing participants, and over 5 years, they proved that the hypothesis was correct. They estimate that if future initiatives follow their model, those initiatives will save even more money. They also found that the greatest barrier to success was NIMBYs. Having a few very dedicated residents smoothed all that over.

Not looking promising for Remedy's multiplayer debut. Seems like a standard co-op shooter ala L4D, but they jazzed it up with some Remedy flavor. Anyone that played this game that cares to share their opinion?

they got nukes, ig

that stream killed me, dude knows how to make hilarious hay out of any shit pile

So far have not found a new one. Tried boost, and it has the same issue. But I still have a few more to try!

Edit: Voyager for Lemmy seems to fix this issue, so I think that is what I am going with.

Edit2: I'm dumb, I have not tried Voyager. The app that is working for me is called Summit. Voyager may also solve this issue, but I cannot confirm.

anyone else enjoying watching your favorite streamers play this absolute steamer of a game? i hate how much i savor the rare release of a high-budget, overhyped flop.

Edit: Do you ever think about buying games like this, just to say thank you to the dev for giving you hours of hilarious streams? Like obviously support the streamer first if you can only afford to support one of them, but at a certain discount, the price feels like fair compensation for all that unintended entertainment.

as others have pointed out, this article is from February, which is like a year ago in techbro-time. If Nadella truly meant what he said, Microsoft would have scaled back AI spending by now.

Saturday night, far-right influencer Laura Loomer told her followers that the media was trying to “gaslight” Americans into believing that the “shooter in Minnesota is a Trump supporter.”

stating facts is not gaslighting. The irony of stealing words from the left to justify your own ghoulish politics.

Podcast host Alec Lace questioned if Hortman was “fearful” that “her base would become unhinged,” after she sided with Republicans as the lone Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) party member to repeal state health care for undocumented immigrants. The tune had still not changed by Sunday, when Fox News contributor Paul Mauro described Boelter’s political background as “murky” while advancing the conspiracy that Hortman had been assassinated for her vote.

Literally fabricating lies out of thin air, just pure bullshit with no basis in reality. People have died because of the dangerous, violent rhetoric on the Right, and this bullshit-peddling is evidence that they have no intention of toning down that rhetoric. They are glad Melissa Hortman was killed. They are hoping their base will act up and kill more political rivals. Anyone siding with Republicans at this point is a monster, full stop.

the goal of these particular protests is high accessibility for maximum attendance. In that light, I think once a month is a smart timing. These protests attract a lot of elderly attendees that are mad at this admin but have never attended a protest before, people who would not attend something like the current LA ICE protests. Some of those people don't necessarily have the energy or motivation to attend every weekend - once a month keeps the pressure up but also maximizes attendance. If you want to attend or start any smaller, more disruptive protests that are happening every weekend (i guarantee they are out there in your area), then go right ahead.

EDIT: Just to add, because my tone in that last sentence sounded a bit dismissive - if you did attend smaller, more disruptive protests every weekend, I would be applauding you. I agree we need more frequent action, but there are many different "lanes" of activism. There are other lanes where smaller groups are doing bigger things, at greater risk to their personal safety. Anyone occupying any lane to protest this administration is my ally.

Controlling women's bodies is how they control women. The best way to fight it is to remind all the people in our lives that all body shapes are beautiful, and weight is not an accurate indicator of health. Spread the word, and the skinnytok message loses its power.

is the game an mmo? or is it more like a survival craft game like Rust? I guess i'm just realizing that this is coming from the Conan: Exiles dev. That game had a decent loop but it was janky as all hell. How "unfinished" does this game feel?

this is fucking me up. that is MY Speaker of the House. I've been getting her legislative update emails for years. I have never voted for her specifically on a ballot, but i've been voting for her team for over a decade now. She guided MN to passing all those amazing measures during the 2021-2022 session, stuff like universal free school lunches, state-mandated sick-and-safe work leave, and legalized cannabis. The kinda shit that gives me hope in local and state politics as an antidote for our national sickness. The DFL's recent work was undoubtedly a group effort, and our state has many great leaders (like Tim Walz) that were necessary to see it through. But Hortman has been such a force, and I wonder if the DFL would have been nearly as productive in those two years without her at the wheel. I barely knew who she was as a person, but I am grieving this loss today.

Regretfully this is my local news so sticking my head in the sand probably won't help.

The suspect left behind a fake police vehicle when he fled on foot.

good to know. thanks Chris! I'll explore alternatives on Android. As Pete pointed out, Sync might not be the best Lemmy Android app anymore, so I am overdue for an upgrade.

PM'd! this is a good crew, i'm sure we can pull together enough mutual aid for an emergency rideshare.

And if not...just steal a cop car, put it to good use actually serving the public good

Time to primary the PISS out of these feckless cowards

I actually know her from her guest chair on Remap Radio, but man is PPB a good podcast.

MSNBC reminds us of Biden's State of the Union when Bobert and Marjorie Taylor Greene started acting up and yelling and no one threw them out.

Great pull from MSNBC, excellent point of comparison.

Welcome to Trump's America, where critical press are not allowed at press conferences, and sitting US Senators are shoved out for asking questions.
