This makes me wonder so hard why people don’t switch to Mastodon instead. Like… You have literally seen this before! Why are you doing it again?

it still has a long way to go before it starts replacing LCDs and OLEDs.

I really don’t think it’s even trying to fill the same niche. No eReader is attempting to sell you Netflix. It’s just an entirely different device.

But temperature is not just the speed of a molecule right?

It pretty much is.

Like a molecule moving very fast through space can still be at a very low temperature, right?

That very much depends on the relative speed of the molecule and you. If you’re not moving in relation to the molecule, a collision between you and it won’t do much. Now try being hit by it (or a bunch of them) at high or even relativistic speeds. The area of you that’s hit will surely become pretty hot then.

Like, have you seen footage of asteroid impacts? Have you seen shooting stars? Those are hot. Like, non-figuratively.

I love it.

Yeah, that’s a much better point of view. I’ll just make that my own. Ignore what I said before.

Russian soldiers sings: Just don’t tell mom that I’m going to Bakhmut

Well, just don’t fucking go there, then?

The system, no matter how good its education, will never be able to turn everybody into “decent philosophers”. Some people just aren’t smart, no matter how good education might get. Some just are gullible. That doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be as well-educated as they can possibly be, but people and their capabilities just are a spectrum and always will be. And even if today’s dumbest people will be as smart as today’s “decent philosophers” by tomorrow, today’s “decent philosophers” will still outsmart them, which is an issue if there are manipulative people with hidden agendas among them. Which they will be.

This isn’t an education issue, it’s an information and misinformation issue. Giving anybody, including malicious actors, their own, personal channel to spread whatever information they want, regardless of its quality or truth, has turned out to be a terrible idea. The Internet kind of comes with the idea to give everyone access to all of humanity’s information without taking into account that there should be a certain responsibility attached to the question of the creation of that information or that there should be a separation of concerns between people who spread information and people who have other interests than just informing people in the best way possible.

Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10.

It’s all about Windows as a service

Windows isn’t dead, but the idea of version numbers could be

The person I replied to was talking about learning the basics of a language… This isn’t about searching for something specific, this is about reading the very basic introduction to a language before trying to Google your way through it. Avoiding the basic documentation is always a bad idea. Replacing it with the LLMed version of the original documentation probably even more so.

What about just reading the documentation?

Not to be overly pedantic, but changing the order of things in the second part of the sentence is really throwing me off by suggesting that donuts are fermented and that there’s a beer with fried dough as an ingredient somewhere.

You did not make fun of my typo? Believe it or not, also ban.

Obviously. Stupid sexy Finns.

You think it’s the worst… And then there are those who want to ramp it up to 11.

As somebody not from the US of A… What is a “salt life decal” and who would or wouldn’t have one?

Lebanon itself not so much. Hezbollah, a Iran-financed militia that started as just a paramilitary group and evolved into a political party in Lebanon, however, controls various areas of Lebanon and kept launching rockets. UN resolution 1701 attempted to stop the constant fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. All parties agreed to it, but Hezbollah didn’t implement the rather important points of disarming the militia and retreating from the border with Israel. They also kind of kept shooting rockets at Israel to the point where the border area is mostly uninhabited by now.

And if that wasn’t enough, they end what they call the Skywalker Saga with all Skywalkers dead and a Palpatine claiming their name and heritage.

I remember the physical media PC game days before those days when CDs had a copy protection that barely worked and nothing else. I got a game, headed home, installed it and played the whole afternoon without being online once.

In the end, I got an S23 which receives (presumably) four years of major revision support plus another two years of security patches, which is still much more than Sony is willing to promise.

I had an Xperia Z, which I was supposed to be able to patch with custom roms. Too bad that while that generally worked, Sony locked the camera to its own software which then fell back to a much inferior mode, meaning you had to decide between updates or shitty pictures, which was a deal breaker for me and had me update to an S10e back then.

The Xperia 5 is a skinny 6.1" & many consider it to be a small phone option in 2024.

I know. It’s still too big. I was this close to switching to apple just for their iPhone mini range, but that got discontinued as well. My S23 is something like 6 or 6.1 as well. It’s only usable because Samsung has a better one handed mode than default android or Apple.
