Yes, a return to the unstructured hellscape glory of unranked comments of yesteryear. Every thread starting with a resounding “First!!1!!”. Relevant or interesting things hidden on page 5 of 31. Spam lurking around every corner, as a treat.

If you don’t care how long it takes to get there and can effectively use the ITN you don’t even need to leave going that fast.

It disables scrolling. I’m sure there’s a use case but mostly it’s annoying. I don’t think every program/OS respects it anymore either.

RSS feeds are so nice. I’m still frustrated that Facebook moved away from an in-order timeline. (Or would be if I used it for anything other than family chats)

An ordered list of things you haven’t seen yet on <topic> instead of a mostly random list from everywhere. Amazing.

Technique yes, technology I would question.

[European utilities] have failsafes implemented to prevent back feeding electricity in the grid

Yeah but imagine if you could save money by not doing that? What are the odds that there’s going to be cheap(er) personal mass power generation in the next few decades.

Wireless keyboards go to sleep and can disconnect. Modern ones are sometimes smart/quick enough to send the first keypress but older ones less so. Also if the computer’s off spamming caps lock won’t turn on the light and let you know to hit the power button.

I know what you’re talking about, but got an image of Harrison Ford being absolutely pampered in China. Which in fairness would probably happen.

As someone who loves it, It’s less a game and more a story generator. Until the company was hired to do the nicer graphics and interface for the Steam version it was a math PhD and his brother programming it as a work-in-progress complete fantasy world simulator. It still is but now it’s prettier. It feels very comfortable to call it the most complex game on Steam. Rimworld and Minecraft among others took direct inspiration from it, he’s been working on it awhile.

Famous patch notes include fixing cats dying from alcohol poisoning because they walked through a puddle of beer before cleaning themselves, egg yolk and egg white having different fluid densities, and nerfing mer-people farming because that’s just disturbing.

Code Monkey?

I think they’re awesome but yeah, unfortunately limited in most bigger cities due to how everything is laid out.

Their use case is basically “never need to go on the freeway”. Going over 50 mph is maybe possible, with a tailwind, downhill, but would be terrifying.

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

Practice the basics, get it right. Don’t try to go faster for the sake of going faster, you’ll hit your limit and get sloppy and pickup bad habits. Test your limits to learn them, but don’t hit them every time. Get comfortable within them and the goal posts will move.

Is your home connection down that much? I’d think that even syncing once every day or so would populate everything fine, and if you’re at home it should update over wifi.

I might just be spoiled because I’m the only one using mine and only for a handful of devices.

They have, but it’s never really been as bad as “the wind blew the pollen.”

The guy intentionally bought what he knew were Monsanto seeds from a grain elevator to plant in order to get them cheaper. That’s not a problem of “evil corporation sues unwitting farmer”. That’s “farmer tries to circumvent contract he signed.”

Is it cannibalism? It feels more like a (talking) bear eating a human.

I do feel like the Stormtooper point got lost on Lucas too by RotJ honestly. In Empire they do pretty good except when they’re, again, explicitly trying to lure the hero into a trap. RotJ has the most weirdness of the originals and probably the most EU ‘redemptions’/revisions. With stuff like “here’s what was really up with the Ewoks”, Boba not dying, etc.

km/h =/= mph

30 km/h is effectively 20mph.

Most American cities you won’t get there faster either, for all the reasons laid out in the video.

Also most of the early Christian sects who believed either this or “no marriage/children until the second coming” died out. Either literally or they got absorbed into Catholicism as various orders.

Is there a lot of benefit to running postmarketOS compared to rooted Android?

I’ve had some trouble with flashing an old Asus tablet in that all the old images/info are basically dead links. But that is mostly just your average link rot.

I figured compiling a custom ROM was more trouble than it’s worth but if the main branch is actively maintained maybe less so.

It’s generally nothing big enough to have heard of unless you’re looking into whatever niche it fills.

Only example that comes to mind is mechanical keyboard stuff. For some of the smaller / one-off designs there was a habit of “if you need troubleshooting, here’s a discord link” instead of even minimal documentation. For “standard” stuff that used the same lil microcontrollers as everything else just a minor annoyance, but saw it with ones that used custom / no microcontroller too, where even a “you need X diodes, Y sprockets, etc” would’ve been nice.

Like OP tend to see it and move on and forget about it because it’s not worth it. The few times I really wanted to get some service running on a raspberry pi or arduino or whatever and tried the discord was a handful of ‘regulars’ swapping memes that were annoyed I wasn’t intimately aware of their codebase.
