Article headline: "A giant, doughnut-shaped machine delivers a major climate-change breakthrough -- sustained nuclear fusion" Article content: "five seconds is the limit...before its magnets overheat." Sooo... isn't NOT sustainable. I should really just ignore any article about fusion, it's always this same clickbait. Fusion is 10 years away and will always be 10 years away.

fusion is faaaar away
<a_flayer>
it seems like an improvement at least
<SporkWitch>
Althego: no, it's 10 years away. Just like it was 10 years ago, and 10 years before that, and... lol
<Althego>
usually the number cited is 20 or 30
<a_flayer>
at least SLS will launch this year!
<Althego>
yes, like it is the year of the linux desktop

a_flayer: sure, it's just infuriating. It's always the same news, manipulated numbers, and at the end of the day it's not actually any closer to being practical
<Althego>
there is some progress
<a_flayer>
it's best to just ignore it altogether
<a_flayer>
and just be amazed when you see a little box for sale at a nearby hardware store that says "power your home with nuclear fusion!"
<SporkWitch>
my favourite are the false claims about net power output. They literally IGNORE the power cost of ignition, they only count the power used to keep it running, never mind that they can't keep it running long enough to cover the cost of ignition

she explains it clearly, how far we are
<Althego>
i slept through leet time today, the best way
<SporkWitch>
as long as i'm not the only one that finds strange amusement by patterns in times...
<a_flayer>
that's why we're all here

Althego: To be fair, this month a major company is launching a Linux-desktop device :p
<SporkWitch>
dells had them for a while, but they're dells... :P
<Althego>
the valve steamdeck?
<FLHerne>
Yeah
<FLHerne>
For a couple of years it's been possible to buy Thinkpads with Linux by default too
<Althego>
ok correctly it is steam deck
<FLHerne>
[in NA/Europe, they had a few with Ubuntu in China for ages]
<Althego>
kind of bad name, since there is already a stream deck
<SporkWitch>
gotta go for the Cyberpunk reference calling it a deck
<Althego>
that is older
<Althego>
gibson already named stuff like that
<SporkWitch>
so are the employees at steam
<SporkWitch>
*valve
<Mat2ch>
and Fornite will not run on the Steam Deck, because Tim Sweeney is a <censored>ck
<SporkWitch>
keeping fortnite away is just quality control :P
<Althego>
remember the joke that elon bought fortnite and deleted it?
<SporkWitch>
that would be glorious lol

also many devs still think they have to replace EAC in their games, but afaik it's just a small update...
<Mat2ch>
I wonder why steam still has this bad communication with the outside. No pressure, because they have enough money?

partly that they're big and know people will stick with them, partly that people can't go after them for overpromising or being late if they keep things vague until it's all on lock
