Ich muss mal ganz kurz wieder Spielverderber bei der #Kernfusion sein.

Es ist seit 70 Jahren technisch möglich, mit Kernfusion mehr Energie zu erzeugen als man reinsteckt. Das #NIF hat einfach mit sehr großem Aufwand eine sehr kleine #Wasserstoffbombe gebastelt.

Technisch ist das extrem kompliziert und eine echte Leistung. Praktisch relevant ist das aber eben nicht für die zivile Energiegewinnung, sondern für die Zertifizierung des US-Atomwaffenarsenals.

Apple Music for Windows isn't quite where iTunes is for me but eh, I wanted to have a proper way to watch ATV+

ngl it kinda rules that Apple made brand new software that I can use to manage my 18 year old iPod

funny thing is I was playing a lot of matches on almost max settings with ray tracing without it happening and now I can't even get into the menu

maybe it's power spikes, seems like that's just a thing GPUs do these days? and this 650W PSU is from my first ever build which is a few years ago, might be worth upgrading to a more efficient one anyways

passing of a legend (CW: death) 

saddened to learn of the passing of Bram Moolenaar, the creator of vim. Ideas from ed(1) became em(1), becoming ex(1)/vi(1), which led to stevie that Bram made into Vim. He was always gracious and approachable on the vim mailing lists,

So we join with his family in remembering his life and celebrating his legacy.

Fortnite crashes my whole computer, I was thinking it's the GPU overstressing my power supply but I can't replicate it with Furmark + Cinebench and the GPU power limit raised by 20% so 🤷

Hey y'all today (Aug 4) it is Bandcamp Friday ( isitbandcampfriday.com/ ) which means if you buy music on Bandcamp today the artists will get just a little bit more money and Epic Games (who owns Bandcamp) will get none at all.

If you want suggestions of what to buy, here's a running recommendations thread/megapost I've been keeping since 2020:

mastodon.social/@mcc/109803030

Also, I will make it easy for you: The song you want to buy is here. It is called "Face Stabber" ohsees.bandcamp.com/track/face

I like the idea of Element/Matrix much more than I like actually using it

every time I see the Dead Island: Definitive Edition Steam artwork I go "oh hey it's Jerma"

biking is also more fun than sport to me but my bike needs some work before a big trip, it's very rainy rn and there's hills here that make it less fun unless you have a good transmission

did a solid bit of swimming yesterday (it's the one sport that doesn't really feel like sport for me) and I barely feel it today which either means I'm getting used to it or I'm gonna be double destroyed tomorrow

Apple Music put this in one of my playlists and it's so good youtu.be/MQlUS3YhmX8
