  • I just scrolled Facebook, and out of the 44 posts I came across 10 were from friends or pages I had liked. The rest was sponsored slop, or “you should follow this person” type posts.

    No wonder the social interaction is down, when less than a quarter of posts I come across are from the reason to have Facebook.

    I’m not friends with corporations, so don’t push me their shit.

    Prime Facebook was 2007 - 2011/12. When they started algorithm-ing friends posts, that heralded the end. I don’t care that I haven’t interacted with friend XYZ for a long while, I’m still interested in seeing their stuff equally as much as friend ABC who I interact with daily








  • As a fellow PS5 owner, and someone who would like to game on the go, the Steam deck interests me, especially as Sony refuses to release a proper handheld, but I’m finding it hard to pull the trigger on it, as the majority of my game catalogue is on PS5, and what games I have on PC are mostly not on steam platform. I have some games that are on steam that could be played on the go, but what is the Internet connectivity requirement like?









  • A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus.

    If you start to think about how these lengths of time are defined it becomes clearer.

    1 day = time to rotate on it’s axis once 1 year = time to complete a full rotation around the sun

    For Earth, it takes us ~24hrs to rotate on our axis and 365.25 days to orbit the sun.

    However, because Venus’ axial rotation is so slow (and another interesting fact, it rotates in the opposite direction to other planets) it actually completes a full orbit of the sun before 1 axial rotation.

    Hence, a year is shorter than a day

    For those interested:

    1 Venus day = 243 earth days 1 Venus year = 225 earth days
