I heard a exec from Rockstar North give a talk once and he said they were building a data centre in Texas.
After the talk he was mingling, so I asked him Why Texas? It's hot there, so it will cost more for cooling, and labour is expensive there so that will also cost more. Why not somewhere cold?

Then he 'gamesplained' to me about how IT'S ALL ABOUT LAG, SEE? And then he tried to convince me that Texas was in the middle of N.America!

Suggestions please!

I need an app to manage around 8 accounts spread over Masto, Bsky and X.

Is there an open source good one? I don't need scheduling, just the ability to have each account in its own column (or some similar solution) and be able to switch between them without having 6-7 browsers open on the desktop.

I think many people are "tightening their belts" this time of year - as the economy is so uncertain and many are worse off than last year.

Subscribing to pods, blogs and news outlets can quickly add up to a lot of money. Additionally, I think many people are feeling overwhelmed with everything that's going on in the world and are reading less, in order to maintain their sanity.

A concept I am trying to acquaint the people in this town with is "avoidable" vs "non-avoidable" sound.

If repairs need to be made to the pipes in your street - it will make un-avoidable noise. But if the road workers doing the job have a loud portable radio with them, that is avoidable noise.

In-store radio is an abomination. If customers want to have music when they shop, there are dozens of different kinds of small ipods and headphones on the market they can use.

My current pet peeve is all the over-perfumed laundry products on the market. I actually have to close my windows if the person next door is doing the washing, or the overwhelming smell gets in my house. And these days, if people walk past you on the street, the smell of their fabric softener leaves a plume about 5 metres long.
It can't be good for the environment, all that synthetic perfume going into the sewage system every time someone does their washing.
