Oh, I see. Not a fan of that tbh, but I understand why it's important for creators like you.

4mat is a legend in the world of #Amiga #chiptune modules, so who better to give a history of the genre?

This is an older video so many of you #Commodore, #chipmusic, and #tracker nerds may have seen it already, but it's definitely a great watch for anyone who wants to learn more about the history of chip module music!

Threw up a Linktree account with just a Mastodon link, wonder how long before that workaround is blocked on Twitter linktr.ee/gamingonlinux
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Did the same but only have it linked on my Twitter. I don't have to worry about @kev and @mike getting cranky about me linking other social media on my Mastodon account ๐Ÿ˜ Will have to do the same for @BuddiesOfBudgie after work.

It's ridiculous that we have to do these sorts of workarounds.



Whelp. Twitter banning Mastodon links now too. Couldnโ€™t even share our dedicated follow.GamingOnLinux.com link.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

It's getting a bit silly now. I wonder if you made the link point to a page with a link on it rather than a re-direct, or perhaps even a timed re-direct of some sort, if the system would still find issue with it?
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Does it give a warning? Or is it specifically looking for the word mastodon I wonder. My old ones for tech.lgbt are still up... for now. I'm half curious to try and post a fresh link on twitter and see if it suspends me for it lol

CW: Racism, fake picture of a person StyleGAN (AI), eye contact

Some people on here are really going around pretending to be Black people with avatars generated with thispersondoesnotexist.com to question lived experiences of racism from Black people & avoid having their white supremacy thrown back at them.

This is vile & not subtle and should be pointed out every single time it is noticed.

So much work went into this segment for a tv show: large space biplane, sophisticated costumes, and fairly precise choreography. We don't see dance routines like this on television, or even on movies, much these days.

~1300 W/m2 with that square oriented perfectly in the direction of the sun, and with the thinest possible amount of atmosphere above.

I.e. high-noon at the equator on a perfectly clear dry day.

So, 100W/m2 at 50ยบ flat to a level surface on the ground/water, and maybe 130W/m2 average on a tilted surface facing the sun.

The Shockleyโ€“Queisser limit, says that at most 31% of the energy in sunlight can be converted to electricity. We probably will never achieve better than about 25-27% on production panels with ideal orientation at high noon. With moving mirrors to concentrate light on a collector we can still never achieve more than 41% efficiency.

I.e. We will NEVER have the means to harvest enough energy from solar to get to net-zero with solar alone. It's just Not. Physically. Possible.

Immortals Fenyx Rising now on Steam but quite messy on Steam Deck gamingonlinux.com/2022/12/immoโ€ฆ #SteamDeck #Gaming
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

This might sound like a weird opinion, but now that #Valve and the wider games industry is putting so much effort into #Proton and #Linux support, it's actually a good thing to have some games that don't run very smoothly at launch.

While it's annoying for #LinuxGamers, it's going to help developers of Proton and of big game engines to clean up messy edge cases and improve performance and compatibility for everyone.
