Define useful.
Just a rhetorical question, I’m not expecting an answer.
- Comment on On the importance of F-Droid 1 month ago:
Another reason to check out eOS. F-Droid is a standard source for the default app store, along with the usual play store apps. I just got a Fairphone 5 last week, an installed eOS. I’m loving it so far.
- Comment on Researchers observe “locked” electron pairs in a superconductor cuprate | SLAC 1 month ago:
“In superconductors, the electrons act like two reticent people at a dance party. At first, neither person wants to dance with the other. But then the DJ plays a song that both people like, allowing them to relax. They notice one another enjoying the song and become attracted from afar – they have paired but have not yet become coherent.
Then the DJ plays a new song, one that both people absolutely love. Suddenly, the two people pair and start to dance. Soon everyone at the dance party follows their lead: They all come together and start dancing to the same new tune. At this point, the party becomes coherent; it is in a superconducting state.
In the new study, the researchers observed electrons in a middle stage, where the electrons had locked eyes, but were not getting up to dance.”
This is an awesome ELI5.

Oh god I remember doing that too. Those “programs” were the best. I even mad sure to make the code long, so that even if someone thought to take a look at the code they would have to scroll for a while to find the notes.
- Comment on Amazon's Monopoly of the tech industry is ruining the US economy 1 month ago:
It’s about how they do it. They achieve this not only by being incredibly efficient through exploiting thier employees, but also by systematically destroying competition, and using thier marketplace to unfairly favor thier own products.
It’s techno-feudalism, here’s a great presentation/interview about it:

Still considerably better than blueray.

Well that’s an opinion I xan get behind, placebos are certainly more powerful than common sense would dictate.

Outward is made to be played by two players. It’s a really beautiful survival rpg with difficult combat.

Yes, of ccourse. Thanks for letting us stay, we really need this right now.

Also a great idea, I didn’t know that.

Obsidian is awesome, and obsidian publish costs money but it’s very easy to use.
- Comment on We can dream right 6 months ago:
Actually I thought the aliens wouldn’t come back to conquer earth, that would be boring and a tired trope. I thought it would be about rescuing thier people, and everyone on earth just assumes they are here to invade.
I’m no screenwriter, and I’m not sure what social commentary would be appropriate, but it just sounds like a fun movie. And Wikus deserves some closure.

Touché

Most sequels are sub-par, agreed. But this story does seem half-finished at the end of the film, a sequel would practically write itself.
- Comment on How do you build complex shapes? 6 months ago:
I use openSCAD. It’s 100% programing code input, which seems like a giant learning curve at first. But if you aren’t afraid of it, you’ll soon see how powerful it is. Especially with the additional libraries available. (They have lots of fished parts & shapes, like threads or electronics cases) Also thingverse.com has lots of .scad files to download.
- Comment on Calculus made easy 6 months ago:
Yes, that’s the whole point of calculus. It’s useful for finding x if you don’t have other easier ways to do so.
Here’s an example of how dividing the area under a curve up into smaller and smaller bits helps to find a value for the area.

I was on reddit for years, now lemmy since the reddit enschittification started. This is the best comment I’ve ever read. So many layers of truth, meme reference, and wit!
You made my week.

This treaty means the entire continent is for science only.
- Comment on Why I Lost Faith in Kagi 7 months ago:
I agree with you. I just felt it necessary to inform those that read comments and not the article itself. Especially because (here’s my opinion) I feel that if you don’t pay for a product, then you ARE the product. Even if Kagi isn’t perfect, the payment model should be supported to foster this kind of internet.
- Comment on Why I Lost Faith in Kagi 7 months ago:
I read the article, and nothing in there seems to be a valid criticism of Kagi as a search engine. It’s all about the founder not understood GDPR, or how Kagi wasted money on free t-shirts, or the writers personal opinion on AI.
This is largely an opinion piece. It has merit as such, but please don’t take this article as factual journalism.
- Comment on What web services do you subscribe to? 7 months ago:
Pcloud, NordVPN, Tidal, reMarkable sync
I’d use Obsidian Sync too if I used Obsidian across devices. I just back my vaults up in the cloud.

Just some background info for those not familiar with this Sahara-Dust phenomenon:
This happens all the time, and has for a long time. It is just a byproduct of being so close to this monster of a desert.

That meme applies to f’n everything!
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 10 months ago:
I’m getting back into battletech recently. The story is decent, and I just love the mechanics. I just got lucky with an AC20+++ (giant canon, the +++ means improved stats). I put it on a medium mech (wolverine), which meant no room for anything else except almmo and armor. But it doesn’t matter, it goes BOOM. Very boom.

Dwarf fortress with DFhack. Now with graphics!
- Comment on What were your top favorite video games as a kid? 11 months ago:
Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2. The open-world gameplay melted my adolescent brain after growing up on NES games. I haven’t stopped playing such games since, and I still go back and play them again occasionally.
Go for the eyes Boo!!
