Climate change is real but it’s not as drastic as this. A lot of people refer to this phenomena as “El Nino” and “La Nina” and they describe a changing pattern in ocean surface temperature and winds that drastically shift the average temperature.

Climate change is just increasing the average temperature of the range over time. But to say that this “118F temperature is entirely because of climate change” is kinda disingenuous. The warming effect of climate change has been observed to be about ~1F per 30 years or so. So if we went back 60 years, this “118F” summer in Italy would be about “116F” and would be almost equally absurd.

I’m confused a bit by this honestly. Power strips are easy to hide where they are not visible. In their case, an LED is actually preferable to know the state of the power strip and I have several power strips that don’t have any LEDs. I also don’t think I’ve ever seen a power strip with a blue LED. None of my charging adapters have LEDs and it’s extremely rare for me to find one that does. The default iPhone/Android chargers don’t have LED and you can adapt them to work with like 90% of electronics these days because everything just uses USB. If you don’t want an digital clock, then don’t buy a digital clock? I also searched for a floor fan and 95% of the results appear to have no LEDs.

If LEDs are such a problem, I’d recommend not buying things with LEDs in them? It seems like it’s actually difficult to run into the problem you’re experiencing.

It’s sad because most AAA game studios are just focused on making an on-rails story game or a competitive realistic shooter. Nowadays they’ve added “open-world” to the archetype.

Just imagine the fun games we could have if they devoted time to just creating a fun game like Indie Developers seem to focus on.

I beat CyberPunk 2077 in under 40 hours even doing many open world events and doing ~5 side-quests for every main story quest. I remember getting to the last quest and being like… “That’s it? It’s already over? That was ridiculously short!” and I’ve never touched the game since…

Meanwhile, with 800hours in Terraria and probably 8k+ in Path of Exile over the years.

No, they’re being paid by a European group to develop Lemmy.

Lemmy devs are being paid to develop Lemmy, they literally admit to it.

I’m called out, although I’m not quite in my 30s yet.

Also… Reddit started out in the same way, mostly as a forum for programmers and nerds

As a tech-savvy person, I tried a few of the easy-to-use ones like Mint/Ubuntu/Fedora. I didn’t really like them. I then tried Arch after taking a “Distro Selection Quiz”, thinking “ugh, there’s no way this will be good right?” and it absolutely hit every expectation I had of Linux. I love the feel that the OS is in my hands to be configured however I want it. I can use old and reliable systems or bleeding edge tech ideas.

Once you get past the installation you can always install Gnome or something like it anyway to make it just like the easy distros.
