The dilema of charging the users and a solution by integrating blockchain to fediverse
  • if donations aren't enough, scale down until they are. if that's not an option, then we let those instances die and set up new ones.

    this is a network for people. if someone is not enthusiastic about running an instance, they don't have to.

  • Pacific Drive | Drive Your Way Fall 2024 Update
  • i bought this expecting a story-heavy atmospheric lonely driving experience with weird world building tense moments, like the vibe of the ship repair stuff in outer wilds.

    i got a survival-crafting horror roguelike. you do comparatively little driving, the main game consists of scavenging for loot and using it to build replacement parts for your crumbling vehicle.

    i hope this gets me back in. last time i thought the "repair vehicle after a successful run" setting would help me, but that also completely removes the quirks system, where the car picks up weird behaviors with time. it just deletes that gameplay element. that made me feel like i was cheating, which wasn't fun.

  • Steam Deck Won’t Survive 2025 Without A Significant Upgrade. - (Original clickbait headline and not my opinion!)
  • that's always been nintendo's MO though. with the exception of the N64 and GameCube, their consoles have all been very modest spec-wise. but the games they put out are made specifically for that hardware, so it's usually fine.

    and actually, the switch is underclocked in its stock configuration. if you have adequate cooling for it you can basically double its clock speed with a softmod, which at least for totk removed basically all stuttering for me!

  • You see my problem here right? Like it's funny as a shitpost, but celsius users are grabbing a ratchet, realizing they don't know how to use them, accidentally clobbering themselves over the head with it, and then being really confused and mad when people think that this is a pretty silly thing to do.

    ...yeah.

  • this all started because of the claim that Fahrenheit is better for "human" temperatures. when saying "that's just because you're used to it" apparently wasn't valid, it spiralled on into this massive discussion where i've tried to show with what i feel is quite a lot of anecdata that indeed, you only feel that Fahrenheit is better for human temperatures because you're used to it. meanwhile, the rest of the world can't understand these numbers at all because they are not used to them, and use Celsius for human temperatures every day.

    of course it doesn't matter. at least, not in a vacuum. but when interacting with the rest of the world, it does.

  • it starts at +273.15K because that is the lower of the two reference points used in its creation. the Kelvin scale was created later and builds on the Celsius scale. of course lower temps are sorted first, that's not what matters. it's why we call these scales "degrees", after all.

    why it matters is because the scale i use every day constantly gets "verified" by passing the zero marker and showing that things outside freeze. that makes it a good reference point that builds its own intuition.

    that's what this is all about, after all: how useful a scale is for everyday use. a scale that is relevant to my needs and that has important events happen on easy-to-remember points of the scale requires very little teaching.
