The less you know about it going in, the better the experience.
This includes the knowledge that it’s good. You should forget that people praise it everywhere because that has a potential of ruining the experience. It did for me, somehow.

Undertale.

I like how the pronoun suggests that the teacher is an actual cat.

I don’t think either your quote or the text under the link shows that.

I don’t understand what you’re trying to imply here.

Also Heusinger was Hitler’s chief of staff temporarily when the actual chief of staff got sick. This became a significant event, because Hitler’s assassintation attempt happened during that time. Heusinger was suspected of being part of the plot, but no evidence was found. After that, he didn’t have a senior post in the Nazi German Army.
Also he was appointed chair of NATO in 1960s, so significantly later than WW2.
Also he was apparently never a member of the nazi party nor did he take part in nazi atrocities.
But hey, nice example of disinformation.

github.com/Mastermindzh/tidal-hifi does almost everything well. Unfortunately it cannot stream to other devices via Tidal Connect.

- Comment on English may be a hot mess but at least we don't have to worry about this nonsense 2 months ago:
“Je voudrais un baguette” I once asked in a parisian boulangerie. I don’t think anyone has looked at me with the same level of disgust before as the older lady selling the breads.
“Voilà, une baguette.”, the “une” flying through me like an icicle.

Yes, absolutely. As far as I can tell (which could be wrong), Privacy Sandbox could help with that.

Seems like a quick hop to chrome://flags allows one to disable this.

- Comment on ‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood 2 months ago:
Remember when video games were making kids kill each other? Because when I was a kid, that’s what people were trying to ban instead of smartphones.
I think the difference here is in scope of the problem. Video games do make the extremely rare case of murderous psychopathy worse, but it affects very few children. Smartphones affect almost everyone and the problems they are causing can be seen in quality of learning data.

- Comment on ‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood 2 months ago:
That sounds like an American problem. We in many countries in Europe don’t have that problem, but our kids still waste their time on smartphones.
- Comment on ‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood 2 months ago:
Perhaps we can imagine a society where nobody had thought of banning handguns for children. But you can just not buy your own kid a handgun if it’s so important to you.
- Comment on ‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood 2 months ago:
Children in countryside are behaving pretty much exactly the same when it comes to whining about smartphones.
- Comment on ‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood 2 months ago:
Like… join a protest demanding a smartphone-free childhood for everybody?
- Comment on ‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood 2 months ago:
Yea, which wouldn’t be a smartphone then probably.
- Comment on ‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood 2 months ago:
This is a magnificent idea, and will make the quality of children’s lives absolutely better.

Well of course, that’s the #1 reason why everyone stopped providing free-to-use APIs last year.

- Comment on Cable can't compete with 5G home internet, so it's cheating 2 months ago:
I think if you allow a bit of simplification, it’s essentially the same thing as Ethernet vs Wireless as your home network solution. The other is slightly better but way less flexible. That’s why 5G is winning.
- Comment on Cable can't compete with 5G home internet, so it's cheating 2 months ago:
Sounds like cable is just in its death throes and will be gone soon. Markets will take care of this too, if we just let them: i.e. don’t let cable companies lobby against 5G etc.
