They believe in reincarnation, so if you want to join you’re supposed to die and be RE-born into it.

Heat pumps (which are basically just air conditioners running in reverse) do “create” energy.
By that I mean that they provide much more heating energy than the electricity they consume, because what they do is move heat that’s already there outside (but diffuse) and concentrate it in your house.
Air conditioners cannot create energy (that is literally impossible) but they do move energy out of your home. So some models are now able to move that energy underground in the summer, where the heat doesn’t dissipate much at all, then re-use it in the winter as a heat pump to heat your home, making them both more eco-friendly and cheaper to run !

Technology@lemmy.zip•Researchers announce babies born from a trial of three-person IVFEnglish
2·9 months agoI don’t think eugenics can be prevented by preventing scientific progress. It’s an ideological problem, just like nuclear bombs.

3·9 months agoReally hope we can have this for polyamorous relationships soon. Powers of two are more convenient though :
4 people make 2 “fictitious ancestor” cells, which are induced into meiosis. The resulting gametes are assembled, and here you go ! A child that is genetically related to all 4 parents (who are technically their grandparents)
Doing the right thing for the wring reason if you ask me. I don’t think it was ever a good idea to sell incest games in the first place, but banning them because they make payment processors uncomfortable ? Fuck that.
I don’t want payment processors to be the arbiters of what we are allowed to play !

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Minecraft and Terraria each fit the other game's title better than their own.
2·9 months agoI like both games, but my playtime says I prefer Minecraft 😆 I think I like it because it’s kinda boring.
Terraria is a lot of fun, yes, but I don’t feel like I can simply exist in that world, I have to play there. Whereas in Minecraft I can more easily just chill, get kinda bored, just walk around looking at stuff and think…
I like how tranquil and slow Minecraft can be. It doesn’t feel like a game so much as an other world I have access to. I like that it leaves me alone with my thoughts.

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•Always clear your history
22·9 months agoSeeing as he explicitly states that he does not need fantasy women, I wouldn’t expect Riker to ever use the holodeck this way.
On the other hand, he probably does use it to take real people on fantastical dates. So his history is probably clean, but the recordings (if they exist) could probably fetch a good price as wholesome porn.
I’m having this problem on Android rn. Coming from iOS, the content density is just super low, and no amount of tweaking display/font size will fix it 🙁
My screen is 50% padding now 🤷🏻♀️

Science Memes@mander.xyz•Since we're doing magic eyes now...English
152·9 months agoThese are all backwards. The eyes are reversed so everything that’s supposed to be a hole looks like a bump and vice-versa.
EDIT : TIL about cross v wall eyed. I dont understand why they would do it this way though ? The image is much less stable, and moving it at all completely breaks the effect. Wall-eyed really allows you to move and observe details without breaking.
Publishers are cancer. Self publish whenever possible !

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?
14·9 months agoThe same game I have played every week for 15 years : Minecraft.
NixOS.
- I have access to more packages than with any other package manager.
- everything to get my setup in the exact state I want is in my config, which is 90% useable on any other distro thanks to home manager
- My config is all in one place and easy to share
- If I ever break something, I can always roll back
- I don’t need Docker

1·9 months agoAdd a whole bunch of white on white nonsense ! You can also insert letters in the middle of words with a font size of 0, although that fucks up a human copy-pasting too, so probably not recommended.
The simplest way is to make your CV an image, and include no OCR data (or nonsense OCR data) in the PDF

Technology@lemmy.world•AI is driving down the price of knowledge – universities have to rethink what they offerEnglish
16·9 months agoUniversities have not been in the business if monetizing knowledge for decades, if not centuries.
Knowledge has been easy to access for a LONG time. Universities give you access to a well constructed curriculum, competent teachers, and a certificate you actually learnt the material somewhat decently.
American universities are too expensive, yes, but American anything means you pay more and you get less, so singling out universities is missing the forest for a tree (even if arguably one of the biggest of those trees)
