  • The grid always needs to be in balance to remain at a stable voltage and frequency. If you have too much supply or demand, you will destabilize the grid and it will eventually shut down to protect equipment. Negative energy prices mean the grid operator expects so much excess power on the supply side that they need to artificially raise the demand. In other words, they pay people to use – sometimes waste – energy they otherwise wouldn’t.




    • momentum: everyone else is using it, if you want to talk to them, you better start using it as well. this also includes cretain projects replacing traditional forums with discord servers.
    • features: i haven’t found another chat app that offers text, voice and screen sharing simultaneously without it being either paid or an absolute pita.
    • no payment or selfhosting needed. no average person wants to deal with self hosting a chat app (even less so when it’s not federated)




  • First of all, she’s a bad mother if she regrets having you because you were “not obedient enough.”

    Regarding your main topic of this post: There are a lot of things that happen “by accident” every day, both good and bad. Sometimes a baby doesn’t survive the pregancy because of an accident outside the mothers control. Should the baby have existed, same as the condom that broke should have not produced one? My point is, there is always two sides to an accident.

    Personally, it makes no sense dwelling in the what-if, simply because it didn’t happen, and you could not change it if you wanted. However, you can take it as inspiration going forward, and change your future decisions. Maybe you weren’t planning on a child, but this experience influenced you and you decide to no longer make it an accident.




  • Good luck detecting that with any kind of client-side anti-cheat.

    The game will now only play on a “secure” display, and the anti-cheat has privileges to monitor the entire chain from the GPU to the display. Non-conforming monitors or devices in the middle break the chain of trust and the game refuses to play.

    And then cheaters will shift to a camera pointed at the screen…

    Client-side anti cheat is an endless cat-and-mouse game.
