@megmac I think it's an interesting argument for the form that excess solar energy is stored in. like, the $100k to built a capture plant that produces $150k of natural gas looks great but it ignores the $1m solar array that powers it which already produces $150k of electricity. But with government incentives to capture carbon instead of/in addition to using battery storage or pumped water storage or whatever, it's very appealing.

Apparenty, David Tennant wore an enby pin and a t-shirt reading "leave trans kids alone you absolute freaks" for the official Good Omens 2 press photos.
@megmac I really enjoyed An Unkindness of Ghosts, which is about the residents of a generation ship that's been underway for hundreds and hundreds of years, and the society they've formed as the ship is slowly falling apart
@megmac I dunno there's a lot of potential for things that could improve tumblr and that post does touch on some of it. but yeah the less control they give the user on what they see the less I'm into the idea
@megmac I notice section 3 is basically stuff Cohost has figured out and does fairly well, so I'm excited to see that on a more mature platform. one cool thing tumblr has allowed for a while is following tags, but it's sometimes hard to know what tags to follow since there's no metric of how often a particular tag gets used. more guidance on tagging would be nice. Right now there's an experiment to optionally add posts from tags you're following to your regular dash which seems less useful
re: Sightly more spoilery thoughts about Across The Spiderverse
@megmac it was so good!
And regardless of the intent, if they're going to put a trans flag in a teenager's bedroom with "PROTECT TRANS KIDS" written on it, that character is trans now, no takebacks

RE: Evernote firing all employees. Potential company shutdown/selloff.
You can download & export your entire evernote collection using evernote-backup: https://github.com/vzhd1701/evernote-backup
Can't do it in the app anymore without a $paid$ plan.

I saw a post here (that I can't find) that kinda changed my life.
It said the best first step to changing the world into a better place is to just stop making fun of people. Ever. For anything. Including in your own thoughts that you may never speak aloud.
I try very hard to do this! it's such a stabler and nicer-feeling foundation to my thoughts and my life. It sheds a mental weight/burden I couldn't see before.
Such a great distilled bit of advice for a big concept!
@Xkeeper good morning!

"Piracy can't be stealing if paying for it isn't owning"
This is increasingly how it feels, when streaming shows disappear for tax reasons and things you "own" digitally become inaccessible.
Thank you @Illuminatus for this quote.

@Xkeeper good morning!
@megmac there's a local chinese place I like and they always put the bubble tea in the bag with the hot food and by the time we get it the food is warmish and the bubble tea's ice has all melted x.x

Updating some old pieces.
Not really sure what the exact sprite capabilities this Amiga 1001 would be, but the chip might suitably be called uh... *squints* Scheherazade.
@lizardsquid good morning!

This is hilarious. Twitter appears to be DDOSing itself.
Something's wrong with Twitter so feeds aren't loading. Nothing loads, but my Twitter feed is still trying to load, but it doesn't stop trying after so many attempts.
Notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. I haven't done anything more than attempt to view my home feed. Now notice the bouncing scrollbar.
I'm gonna guess there was an bug introduced that was resulting in an endless loop of trying to fetch results, but with no results available, Twitter would have basically been DDOSing itself.

If you got the #Tetris The Grand Master arcade game port for the switch but bounced off it because it was kinda weird to you (or didn't buy it because it's "just another Tetris game") i highly recommend you try playing it in 20g mode for a very new and very different Tetris experience than you're used to. It's quite hard, but very satisfying to get better at. In 20g mode the pieces instantly fall to the top of your stack and you have to move them from there in the lock delay window.
Tetris Effect has a special Master Mode that's kinda similar, but TGM's rotation system and other mechanisms are built around making 20g work in ways that guideline Tetris games really aren't.
There are two ways to play #tgm in 20g on these ports: with a code (down 8 times then C B A, which are mapped to A B Y on the switch) in the main game, or by just choosing it in the score leaderboard mode before starting.
There's a bunch of info about how to play TGM in general and 20g in particular at https://tgm.tips and also on the more general https://tetris.wiki
