“Heat pumps don’t work when it’s cold.” I often read in articles written by people who never had a heat pump.

How come that most heat pumps per capita are installed in coldest countries?

Hint: the claim is incorrect.

The ODBC support, while not important for gaming, is really good to hear about. Lots of weird proprietary Windows software uses it for generic database support.

just tried it. Nice look, was missing the mouse at first. Setting the keyboard was a bit unexpected - being able to set a second key for things would also been nice. These are no problem compared to the lags. Sometimes it's fluid, sometimes the game just hangs - I hear the sound of crashing but see no new frames. Happens often and seems like loading parts of the map or something. Uplayable for me.

The best COSMIC fix ever, I can see how a problem like this stays in the code base for so long. There's only 2 cases where this realistically happens:
Public networks which do authentication later than network joining
Psychos who have no sense of network security

Loved this episode of the @sustainoss podcast, about @ntnsndr’s book Governable Spaces: Democratic Design for Online Life.

I’ve been plagued by frustration for so long now that our online spaces don’t provide sufficient tooling for shared negotiation, instead defaulting to blunt mechanisms for shutting things down.

This was a great discussion about how things could be better.

Vertical photo of a wide, green, grassy path stretching away from us in a wetland reservoir, flanked on both sides by tall stalks of bulrushes and cattails. A pair of elongated, lazy curves of tamped, dry grass traverse the path in soft esses, like cart tracks, towards the horizon. At that far horizon stand some tall, tended, and glossy green trees in a hedge row beside a short, white farmhouse, tiny with distance and capped with a faded red roof. Beyond this bit of pastoral is the broad curve of a hillside heavily wooded with pines, and above that a faded blue summer sky.
