Considering how much the largest companies are making deals with and just handing money to each other during this AI bubble… I’m not sure money is a concern.

The more that they can bedazzle the concept of a data center and distract from the failures of current LLMs, the more money they can make, which very much aligns with what you’re saying.

Thank you for providing that little bit of context, and apologies for misunderstanding. Have a great day! :)

I don’t mean transfer to the air, I mean radiating heat!

When you have a hot object, in space or in an atmosphere, you can see it on infrared cameras because it’s releasing that energy as infrared light.

Some materials are better at releasing their heat energy as infrared light than others, and having large panels of such a material gives lots of surface area to radiate that energy into space as infrared radiation. The heat transfer to any thin atmosphere found at that kind of altitude would be negligible.

As for heating up in the dark, you could just have a swarm of these that shut down if they’re in the dark, and make sure you have at least a few running at all times.

As for maintenance, I agree. It’s why undersea data centers haven’t really taken off, because it’s very hard to get people down there to take care of things.

As much as I dislike AI… radiators are just about the most efficient technologies, besides space heaters, which do the same thing.

It’s like how incandescent lighting is 100% efficient, if you also include all of the frequencies we can’t see (primarily infrared.)

If I’m wrong, I’m hoping someone will correct me, but I’m fairly certain that radiators in the shadow of the rest of the satellite’s body would be able to dump that heat as infrared into space.

It’s just for midi! I recommend using other tools for that purpose.

Signal (https://github.com/ryohey/signal, https://signal.vercel.app/edit) is generally what I use for midi composition! it’s usable in a web browser, and rather good.

It’s difficult to notice due to compression, but it has a blue stripe where one of the white stripes normally is.

I suggest trying a virtual machine! Some softwares detect this (and there are ways around that too) but mostly it should be seamless!

for something similar to edge, i’d recommend ungoogled chromium. it strips out all of the google garbage. the setup takes a bit of time to get extensions installed, but it’s smooth sailing after that.

if you’re wanting something new, there are many privacy-oriented forks of firefox that can get the job done. one of the common ones is librewolf, but i honestly just stick to normal firefox with ublock origin, container tabs, and noscript.

edit: if anything i said is wrong, please correct me 🙏

oh gosh how is this the worst one /j

lmao

Not Gitea, they got bought by a for-profit company or something

I’m not sure how to describe it, so I’ll just give an example. There’s a completely free online game called corru.observer, where all music is available to listen to on soundcloud, where the only support the devs have is to support on patreon/kofi/i don’t remember, or to buy the music on bandcamp.

I love the game, i love the music, and so I supported the game by buying the music.

You could try Asahi Linux, they’ve been doing lots of work getting Fedora working nicely on the new ARM macbooks :)

small world, i just picked up three of his books from the library today! Very good author!

Well, firefox used to have support for gopher, but maintaining it was too much work and support was removed in firefox 4.0. Even now, with it gopher and gemini being the most popular they’ve ever been, neither of them have built-in support from any major web browser.

Also, it’s not that the creators don’t want people using it, that’s not what I meant. It’s just that they didn’t expect the level of adoption they currently have.

because the point is not broad adoption, the point is not what features it supports, the point is the features that it doesn’t. It can’t track you, it can’t advertise to you (effectively), it’s meant to replicate that pre-corporate-enshittification feeling the WWW once had. The creators never imagined it would get as big as it even currently is.

yeah i totally get that, it’s just that imo Deceptichum is being mean about the whole thing. i’m not attacking the concept of federation (or the choice to not do so with certain instances).

god forbid they be able to keep up with creators/friends they care about

I know this doesn’t answer your question, but using a 3rd party client or modifying the discord client is technically against the discord TOS. They don’t really enforce it unless you’re selfbotting or whatever, but there have been cases where people got banned from 3rd party clients because of a bug within the client that caused apparently bot-like behavior.

The incredibles has a fantastic sound track, kronos unveiled is a masterpiece.
