In the book Wade Watts powers his Oasis console and a small heater using a battery that he recharges in a van by pedaling a stationary bike. This seems quite far fetched. The console itself appears to be a thin client with only enough CPU Aand GPU power to render the Oasis and a little extra to contribute to the server for...
I only joined the main Lemmy instance a couple of days ago, but browing by new, there’s a pretty consistent stream of new posts now, even compared to the first day I was on here. I’m excited for this community.
If you learned that an actor was a serial killer, who would surprise you the least? (Anthony Hopkins, Christopher Walken, Tom Cruise, and Jack Nicholson don’t count–everyone knows they’re stacking bodies somewhere)...

Ran out two days ago, had a busy day yesterday, was sure I’d do it today but fell into a FOSS hole trying to setup some stuff and now here we are.

the details aren’t super important and i’m not going to go into particular depth here but, in summary: i am on break. the burnout is quite bad. the “avalanche analogy” is pretty apt for what i’m dealing with here....
Everyone is talking about how there isn’t much content, but when I view All + Active the amount of stuff that pops up for me is almost overwhelming. Is it just me?
In the USA the cultural atmosphere slows to a crawl between Christmas and New Years. I couldn’t care less about the holidays.
