H2O, not H20.

Most ACs nowadays can do both. And are actually more efficient at heating.

I was referring to electrocaloric, and Stirling engine heat pumps.

Pointless discussion, but they’re all heat pumps. Refrigeration cycle is the name of the physical process. Most heat pumps make use of that thermodynamic principle, but there are some niche ones that don’t. But people don’t care about that, and so find it more useful to call them by what their purpose is, and that varies locally.

I never see refrigerators being called AC either, and they’re air-to-air heat pumps too. People just call things what they want regardless of the technical details.

Yeah but that means not everyone is switching to EVs, which is the point of the person you’re replying to.

That’s a complete misrepresentation of what the other commenter was saying.

It’s conspiracy bullshit to think that the government has nebulous access to all listening and recording devices, has an army of goons to review every second of every piece of footage, and when murders or rapes occur they actively ignore it because the division helps them profit.

None of this was said or implied.

And yes, it’s conspiracy bullshit to think they’re directly spending money on sowing division in people.

Why? Isn’t that the purpose of Rupert Murdoch’s?

Is it conspiracy bullshit that megacorps and billionaires directly benefit from, and spend millions on, sowing division among the people?

What exactly is the utility of the above quote of yours then?

To show that the correlation is spurious at best.

Has it become even more successful after he’s mellowed out?

Yes, it has. Usage of Linux has been growing over the years.

My point is exactly that. It’s not obvious, and as such you can’t attribute the success of Linux to his behaviour. Like the OP said, there’s no logic in looking at something successful and picking a singular thing to be responsible.

How is that obvious? Especially because it’s become even more successful after he’s mellowed out?

But did it work because of the style or in spite of it? No reason to believe it wouldn’t be even more successful if he had been less abrasive like he is now.
