You’re right, it doesn’t at all capture how disturbing the reality is.

Ignored privacy settings; unknown third parties can train AI models on data scrapped from private images and video host on common social media platforms.

At first I was like, it’s fine. Then I realised we were comparing the flowing water. I didn’t even notice that the second image is of flowing water too…

I worked up the energy to google. Turns out it’s not a photovoltaic (gamma-voltaic?) anyway, it’s a betavoltaic. I guess that makes more sense than the rubbish capture cross section of high energy light.

No one has directly answered your question.

The answer is yes, you can create photovoltaic cells better optimise to pick up high energy light such as that from nuclear decay (gamma radiation). However, the power generated by photovoltaics is limited more by intensity of the light, and not the energy per photon (wavelength). For physical reasons is hard to capture the energy of high energy light, so gamma photovoltaics are low power concepts.

There is an idea going around to grow diamond with c14 and also harvest that c14 decay with a diamond based photovoltaic. Making everlasting batteries, albeit radioactive and microwatt. (Specifics are probably wrong, working from memory.)

I think the microtransactions praise was more are, non predatory marketing / extracting every last cent praise. Didn’t Stanfield have a premium cost to pay a week earlier or something? Is that not a similar concept, albeit nowhere near as shit as microtransactions.

Are we not all tired of being wrung out for our cash? What’s so wrong with just charging what you need so that you can make a game.

Sure.

What i don’t follow is why you’re having this experience, when for the average user is click to install and play out if the box for many many games.

If it’s not the game, because you’ve checked protondb, and it’s not the software, because you’ve installed multiple distros i feel like you’ve either got some super unique hardware challenge or you’re making a unlikely mistake. Heaven forbid people ask you if you’ve done things that are obvious, we’re just trying to help. Nothing sucks more than sinking time into getting a game to work for it to fail.

Regardless, based on highly emotional responses to many posts my guess is that you’re the root cause of your own problems.

Lol, so defensive.

So the games not running is a problem unique to your system then

Do you check protondb?

5sigma from the average person.

I think you are correct, this meeting in isolaton is fine. The indirect implications, however, is that this meeting constitutes the full internal review and response to an employee leaving in a disgruntled state. I obviously don’t know that is true, however the fact that linus has admitted to being shocked by the allegations suggests that a the very least an effective HR exit interview hasn’t happened.

If I was running a company, regardless of my position on personal care about my employees wellbeing, I’d want meetings such as the one in this post a routine. Not only ‘when something happens’. I’d want one on one interviews in the cases like this. So that when things like a former employee comes out with allegations like this I’m not shocked, because I already know and tried to deal with them reasonable or I have solid grounds to claim that reasonable effort was undertaken to know these things were happening.

I don’t know how it is in Canada, but C suite and board can have personal liability with duty of care to employees in Australia. Ignorance is not generally an excuse for a good reason.

I guess it’s the same as asking if vegetable oil is a vegetable.
