teamonkey,

Edge can’t be anticompetitive if no one is using it

teamonkey,

They couldn’t even be bothered developing their own apps for it. The mail app began to lag behind Outlook on Android, Minecraft was never ported to it when it could have been a killer exclusive app.

Unity CEO John Riccitiello is retiring, effective immediately (arstechnica.com)

John Riccitiello, CEO of Unity, the company whose 3D game engine had recently seen backlash from developers over proposed fee structures, will retire as CEO, president, and board chairman at the company, according to a press release issued late on a Monday afternoon, one many observe as a holiday.

teamonkey,

In a co-operative the shareholders are employees and associated members, and they elect the board.

Not that Unity is a co-operative, but there is another way.

teamonkey,

Honestly the one killer use case for AI is to transcribe how-to YouTube videos into a static web page with thumbnail images.

teamonkey,

I’m still waiting.

teamonkey,

The government do appear to have a hand in picking board members and executives though, and it’s regulated by the govt-appointed body Ofcom.

(And yes, I’m aware of the irony of posting a BBC news link)

teamonkey,

Its reputation for impartiality is also working as expected.

Brown coal output 12.2021: 10100 GWh Black coal output 12.2021: 5391 GWh

Of course comparing August 2021 - August 2023 there’s less of a difference, but still a noticeable drop.

teamonkey,

It doesn’t make sense to think of it in terms of how much of the Sun’s energy it uses because solar energy is essentially free and unlimited, it comes from an outside system, we don’t need to mine it or carry it or anything and we can’t ‘waste’ it in the same way we can other fuels. All it tells us is the maximum theoretical limit.

10% more energy from solar means a rooftop array could generate an extra 300-500W which is a genuinely useful amount of energy.

teamonkey,

I don’t see anyone outside so it checks out.

Godot on laptop using external GPU? Good idea? Bad idea?

So I’m looking for advice on external GPUs. I want to try out Godot, but I don’t have a GPU. I don’t think I’ve ever had a GPU in fact. I’m a software developer actually, python mostly, but I’ve never done GPU stuff in my work, and my PC gaming days were mostly prior to the existence of GPUs. So I’m way out of...

teamonkey,

Godot is MUCH more lightweight than Unreal.

Unreal’s editor needs a beast of a dev PC, it’s basically like running a AAA game all the time, and it assumes by default that you’re making a top-end game with a top-spec PC.

Godot’s editor will run on pretty much anything. That’s not to say an external GPU won’t help, but if you keep the graphics simple you may not even need it.

UK Labour are too Tory for me.
I've threatened that they've lost my vote. (edit)
On LGBTQIA, specifically trans rights.
On their plans for the NHS.
On their plans for health and wealth inequalities in the UK.
On their plans for the relationship the UK has with Europe.
They have to be less Tory to get my vote back.
It's not acceptable that to not vote Tory, we have to settle for what they offer. They assume their position is acceptable.
If they correct their position, I'll reconsider

teamonkey,

Tactically speaking, you can vote for the party you want to win only if you are absolutely certain that a) the tories have such a strong majority there isn’t a chance of anyone else getting in; b) some other party has such a majority there isn’t a chance of the Tories getting in. Otherwise you vote for the non-Tory party (or party that will not ally with the Tories) that is most likely to make it in your area.

I still vote tactically because there have historically been some close results where I live, but I’m sick of voting for parties I don’t want to win. I decided to become a member of the political party that I felt I was in most in line with, despite the fact I rarely vote for them. Small gesture, I know.
