- Comment on Logitech will brick its $100 Pop smart home buttons on October 15 - Ars Technica 1 hour ago:
9.5 years is pretty good if you think of it as tech, but the problem is that smart home products are often home appliances. Some are even home fixtures. So yeah people feel cheated when something like a light switch gets dropped from service or demands a subscription

Yeah they aren’t native here but they’re good at playing nice with native plants. If you notice them outcompeting native taproot plants then go after them, but they’re pretty, they pull water from deep while helping keep deeper soil nice and soily, pollinators often like them, and they’re not only edible but good for you.

Where i grew up you could have an edible native plant that mosquitoes hate, fixing nitrogen as your ground cover, but no the hoa says grass not mint. I wanted to do guerrilla gardening with wild strawberries there too, but never got around to it.
That said, one non native plant belonged there, the earth made the dandelion one of her greatest and most beloved children, and who am I to disagree.

The dark/light and to a lesser degree the prices definitely do. Nature, not so much from what I hear, but definitely more than in the contiguous 48. Anchorage is fucking weird though, it’s a reasonably sized city, that feels like a big town, is incredibly spread out, but also contains half the state population
- Comment on What possible evolutionary advantage is offered by my ears suddenly sprouting tons of hair? 1 day ago:
If a change is easier than not and offers no disadvantage it’s likely to happen.
Evolution is just a lot of tweak-pair-check if it actually works and reproduces not something thst actually has goals or intents
- Comment on Being a 22-year-old virgin or being 22 and never having been in a relationship is something to be shameful about. 1 day ago:
At 31, would I be happy to learn a potential partner my age is a Virgin? No. Would I be put off with a “I took my time and wasn’t prioritizing it over other things that mattered”? Also no.
The real turn off is a virgin who’s pissed about it, bitter about it, or well into adulthood and very focused on it. I’m not even saying nobody wants those people but as someone who’s been around the block a few times, is happily married and practices casual nonmonogamy I see people like that the same as I see people feeling similar ways about their other reasons for not getting laid.
- Comment on Being a 22-year-old virgin or being 22 and never having been in a relationship is something to be shameful about. 1 day ago:
I began my first relationship around 21. I was a bit of a late bloomer. I also was happily married before turning 30. There’s no shame in being a little late, but it may be a sign of something you need to work on. Git gud as it were.

- Comment on A lot of media depict the United States as being invaded by fascists from the outside. Nobody thought fascism will come from within until now. 2 days ago:
The general understanding of experts on fascism after figuring out what the hell went wrong in Germany was that America was particularly vulnerable to it and it would use the flag and the cross to gain influence.
- Comment on The Earth is reflecting less and less sunlight, study reveals 2 days ago:
Yeah, between extremophiles that will probably outlast the atmosphere and the mesozoic having been pretty balmy, life finds a way. That said, complex life is about to have a very bad time, especially specialists that can’t handle wide temperature ranges. It’s an extinction event, and our species is gonna have to really try to survive it.
- Comment on The Earth is reflecting less and less sunlight, study reveals 2 days ago:
Yeah, loss of snow reduces albedo, this increases temperature reducing snow. It’s a known factor in how stable climate positions are stable.

- Comment on I wonder what game they're trying to play 3 days ago:
You can probably get something serviceable in that price range, but tbh the magic wand is about $100 and yeah it’s a “have a job” toy, but it’s the sort of toy that people don’t think of as “seriously getting into sex toys” toy. Though I will say that category does have several subdivisions once you’re in it. There’s a wide gulf between people who have a few vibrators and a strap on and the people who own a sybian

On one hand that sounds awesome, on the other hand that sounds so expensive its probably on par with a good tens unit which would also double as a muscle relief device.

- Comment on Amid EA's unpopular $55 billion buyout, Baldur's Gate 3 director takes time "to remind people that making games faster and cheaper while charging more has never worked before" 1 week ago:
One thing I love about the original rogue legacy is that it has shoutouts to the dev’s previous games. None of them look great but it makes it clear that even this game that feels like their first isn’t, it’s the product of years of smaller games. RL1 is a great game, and it gave them the skills and money to do RL2 which was a masterpiece.
I love indie games, but they aren’t popping up with noobs designing a masterpiece on a shoestring budget except in very rare instances and that involves the budget not accounting for their time.
Also I miss the era of flash games, especially as it proved a good way for everyday people to learn these skills as a hobby and the best could move to professionalize.
