There’s a really good YT channel called Midwest Magic Cleaning, who cleans hoarder houses for free. He talks a lot about the “potential” of an item vs it’s current value.

Hoarders will keep an item because it has potential, but the item will never “actualize” that potential. Thus the current “value” of the item is just taking up space

He also talks a lot about the emotional attachment, as well as the actual panic disorders that can be triggered by someone attempting a cleanup.

The comic is funny, but it’s not really a good representation

I’m enough of an audiophile that I have some really nice speakers and a Schiit DAC and amp

But I’m not audiophile enough to care about different encodings.

At some point, I just wanna listen to the darn music

(I switched to Tidal in August. Much better audio quality)

Unless Valve has said otherwise, I doubt SteamOS is going to be released for desktop. SteamOS is basically just Arch + kde plasma but with tweaks targeting the SteamDeck hardware

Did someone actually find a backdoor in Recall, or is this just the usual “M$ is evil” posting?

(Either way, fuck Recall Security Exploit Centrap)

This is the best thing I’ve ever read

Oooh svelte

You’re out of luck. Cat owns desk until the required number of scritches has been given

Did he break up with someone recently?

I already despise tipping. This sounds like a nightmare

I like transactions to be transactional. Tipping adds a completely unnecessary social and “uncertain” component to payment.

I don’t want to factor in service and other objective nonsense, every time i pay for something

Tipping should be outlawed (or rather, tipping should not count towards minimum wage)

Your stuff is weird and demented and I love it

My New Year’s Resolution is to never make a resolution

I really hope i live to see Betelgeuse explode

My first cat was perfectly OK with free feeding

My second cat got chonk quick

Now, between 2 dogs and 3 cats, it’s just easier to supervise twice daily meals. I also keep their food nearby in a plastic storage container (from the hardware store)

As someone who watches a lot of PBS Space Time and Dr. Becky, I’m always very suspicious of any news article claiming '“JWST has found evidence for X”, especially if it’s an alternative to Lambda CDM

I use a drip machine, btw

The kernel does stuff like

• process and CPU task management
• hardware abstraction
• memory management (at the process level),
• file system managment
• and resource isolation (such as randomized memory addresses (ASLR))

The rest of the OS provides the actual software that users interact with, like

• file managers
• desktop rendering and window management
• settings menus
• sound mixing between applications
• graphics rendering

Edit: oh, you’re right

Our beds and pads are NOT pressure sensitive. All K&H heated beds and pads feature dual thermostats and are designed to warm to your pet’s normal body temperature when he/she lies on the pad. This is a function of the insulation provided by a pet’s body, not the weight of the pet.

That’s actually some clever engineering and design. I have always wondered how it knew when a pet was on it (it doesn’t)

Thermostatically controlled to warm to your pet’s normal body temperature only when your pet is in the bed

My cats love these as well

They are self regulating, meaning they keep a low heat when nothing is on them, but they heat up when they detect something is on them

Very well worth

But it clearly doesn’t depict a lunar eclipse

A lunar eclipse usually results in a red moon, since the moon is lit with red light from all the sunsets on Earth simultaneously

It’s not in pure shadow, since the Earth’s atmosphere acts as a lens and bends some of the light inward towards the moon
