iceflinger··on Superconductor news: What’s claimed, and how strong the evidence seems to be
"this stuff is claimed to superconduct all the way up to room temperature and indeed up past the boiling point of water. Its critical temperature is said to be 127C"

Would this have implications about possible efficient methods of converting heat back into electricity? Or even just more ways of harnessing heat energy in general. I'm imagining heat pumps built with superconductors could be a critical part of mitigating climate change, but I'm far from a scientist and barely understand the physics here.

iceflinger··on Debate over 'fake work' and 'lazy management' in tech industry

iceflinger··on Gen Z are turning to delusional thinking to cope
Almost like some kind of force noticed that particular protest too close to the real meat of the problem so made efforts to suppress it.

iceflinger··on Connecting a 1980s Pinball Machine to the Internet
Do you have any plans of open-sourcing or releasing your work here? This stuff is awesome, it would be great to try and apply it to different eras of pinball machines as well.
iceflinger··on Microsoft workers to form company’s first union in the U.S.
A lot of game development roles don't involve writing software but are just as exploited, like artists and designers.

None of those really insulate you from disillusionment.
iceflinger··on Surviving disillusionment (2020)
If being in tech requires crafting your own rituals in order to stay engaged, what's the motivation to not simply quit and start brewing beer and growing tomatoes while still keeping your own tech rituals? If the fulfillment of working with technology is coming from outside having technology as a career, why stay in technology as a career? Compared to the feeling mentioned between doctors and patients I still don't see any actual compelling reason that staying in tech as a business in its current state is worth it even to the most enthused about technology.
iceflinger··on Discord is a black hole for information
I remember their official twitter responding to someone that exporting logs wasn't something they could/wanted to do for whatever reason so I wrote a content dumper super quickly https://github.com/IceFlinger/discord-server-dump

But its a big shame that they don't wanna include this as a built in feature since yeah exported logs are very useful.
