I have heard this too, with the added (and unverified) statement that kbin.social is behind Cloudflare right now, which is breaking federation.

I subscribe to the podcast on Android via the PocketCasts app. You can search for the podcast by name in the "discover" panel. Then you can browse and listen to more easily.

I have also experienced this.

OpenBSD is a great desktop. If you can't live without some proprietary shit, you're going to have a bad time.

I prefer doing most of my work on OpenBSD. I have a windows machine I can use for some garbage I am forced to use and the occasional game. Mostly I will VNC in from the OpenBSD machine.

I think we should normalize using a system that does 80% of computing tasks very well and delegating non-optional stuff to a secondary device. I don't think there's a 100% one-stop shopping solution to a problem as diverse as "desktop utilization patterns".

There's also the error bars.

Scientists will determine that the temperature will rise by between 1°C and 6°C. That's a big range. Climate change is complicated and it's impossible to account for all of the variables.

To the scientist (and their colleagues) they'll know that 3°C is most likely, and this type of paper reads like a dire warning... but when the news breaks, it goes. One of two ways:

  1. "1-6°C is a huge range, scientists must not know what's going on. What does this even mean?"

  2. "Scientists report that temperature will rise by at least 1°C, the UN Council on Blah Blah says that we should keep under 1.5°C..."

It's maddening, really. Most of the scientists I know are doomers.

I'd frame it along the lines of: Scientists only talk about what they can prove.

This standard is higher than the opposition, which will publish "shower thoughts" as "evidence".

If you talk to scientists (off the record) about what they think is likely the case, that's where you get more dire commentary. They've been trained to hold back, nothing nefarious... but also not helpful in the current media climate.

I believe so, but Quakecon has evolved into the largest LAN party in North America. So lots of fun with a few thousand friends with games of all types. It's a little smaller this year (first in-person post-covid), but probably still a blast.
