I hope y'all have a pleasant evening and pleasant times in general, and that the suits and vc-bros don't antagonize you too much :)

Ah well

Every so often I will get nostalgia and look at SE again only to be sharply and promptly reminded why I stopped visiting it a while ago and now only use SO extremely rarely to look up a specific way of doing a specific thing in a common programming language

Goes to show Meta wasn't the only company desperately fishing for that new technology gigantic L to take

Did I read that right?

did they really want to just allow AI content

How are y'all?

more things change more they stay the same eh

First time in a long time I'm looking at SE and the first thing I see is a recent moderator strike

Hello

I think I paid like 30€ off amazon for mine?

But there are special curtains designed to reflect instead of absorb sunlight

A normal curtain (just black cloth) will make things worse then no curtains

@Tinkeringbell This is true but heavily dependant on which kind of curtain you use

Thats working fairly well and has no noticable impact on my electricity bills

Personally for home I have blackout curtains (the same ones) and a personal AC unit hooked up to a cable and a thermometer output that only turns on if it's over 23° in the part of my room where I sit

The office space my coworkers are in has 2 windows that face the midday sun, so before they got the curtains it was pretty nightmarish, but after they got them the curtains keep most of the heat out

There are specialized curtains you can affix directly to the inner window. Outwardly they look silver (made for reflecting sunlight) we use those in the office to great effect

I spent like 700€ on portable AC for my apartment, and it works wonders in the otherwise really heated apartment (top floor so it's always 2-3C warmer then ambient without cooling

If not, i'd invest in some. Summers are liable to get hotter in the future

Does your apartment have AC?

How has it been for you

every time I think about getting into games again I think of all the stuff on my to read list that I haven't had time for

I think i'm growing out of gaming as a hobby lately, I've almost only been reading

It's a self publishing site for web serials, with a lot of content on it

I've been scouring royal road for good content

but I'm mostly reading in my free time now, less anything else

@Mithical fantasy almost exclusively

Lots of reading these days

I'm good

@Tinkeringbell hi

how are things

:o it's mith

hello

ish

long time no read

@M.A.R. heyo

we know the russian army has no qualms with killing civillians en masse for no reason

bold of you to assume they'll even get trials

according to him :)

so it's all russia

@JourneymanGeek ah but putin says the ukraine never really had statehood

BTW The 400 people who were arrested for booing the occupiers in cherson will likely be tried under russian law which puts 15 years in jail on protesting against the war or calling it a war (max)

I also very vividly remember that kid crying when the rocket hits the apartment block with his best friend's family in it and he sees the thing crumble in real time

to my peril

I have very good mid term memory

it is depressing as fuck

attempted to asassinate the president like 12 times, including once by using a neo nazi militia group

keep blowing up power lines to make people freeze to death in their homes so they'll surrender faster

blew up a dam to contaminate the water supply
