  Well, it’s also fun to go places you know. If a shitty bike can only get you 20mi / 30km but a on a good one you feel confident doing a 30mi / 45km ride then the purchase makes sense.

  Also the table layout at my local Chinese restaurant

  Better products? What about geopolitical interests? If China doesn’t need oil then they don’t have to care if the strait of Hormuz is open or closed.

  It’s a nice added benefit that they are better for the air, quieter and have more cargo space.

  The Neo yellow color is awful. The 5C colors were fun because the plastic material made them look good.

  You and I both know people, politicians, journalists would just move to Threads before they move to the fedi or Bluesky or any FOSS alternative.

  They want an algorithm.

  Flock in a few months: “introducing a license plate reader that doesn’t need to see the license plate. The magnet leaf you got on Amazon to get through red light cameras won’t be enough to fool our dystopian surveillance system anymore”

  Yo you could make it even more beige by adding mayo but be careful, that’s a lot of flavor for you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've Hit The Perfect Weight⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m 1m85 and have been at 65kg most of my life. I’m closer to 70kg now. You’re almost double my weight.

  We should try to find someone half my weight (30kg) and someone double yours (240kg) and we could hangout, maybe create a secret society or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lightbulbs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For the people saying “5kK+ in the office, 3kK- in the bedroom” what do you use in your kitchen? In your bathroom?

  Babar. They eat Babar, the second b is soft, just like Babar’s flesh.

  Skyrim’s NPCs sound and act like they’ve been lobotomised

  So they’re going for a Danish accent I see

  Ah so all the control freaks and the “tell me more about you and by that I mean tell me more about why you love the MTA system map” kinda crowd, I see.

  That’s a nice chode

  It’s just the farm workers union flag right? Right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I just tried it after probably 5 years and it’s much better than what it used to be. The workflow is close to what I’m used to in NX, so far at least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I just tried freeCAD and it’s night and day compared to what it used to be. I can actually design simple parts.

  Thanks for having me check my opinion haha.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can count past 1,000 on your fingers by using binary, instead of just 10⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Why stop at binary? You can do ternary with three positions for each finger: extended, bent, curled.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not for me. I wish it did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Waiting patiently for commercial software to be ported to Linux:

  • creative suites, I think Canva is working on Affinity for Linux but they want to release their iPad version first. Wine is working right now but there are a few things I’m getting tired of (navigating folders and trying to print). I know, Gimp, Inkscape and Krita.
  • 3D modeling software for engineers, like solidworks or NX. I’m trying Blender add-ons for CAD but it’s not as capable. Don’t you dare suggest FreeCAD.
  • Music production software, esp. Ableton.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨QWERTY Phones Are Really Trying to Make a Comeback This Year⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Y’all are allowed to hot glue a Bluetooth keyboard to the back of your phone you know.

  Jokes aside, I wonder why there aren’t more protective cases with a built in sliding keyboard for phones. Would be cool.

  The minimal phone looks like a brick and I understand why the e-ink is a choice that forces you to not use your phone as much but I’m not ready.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if the Internet Goes Down? - 15 Jan, 7PM CET⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think Ham radio means hobby and amateur radio, I.e. not professional. Radio is a type of radiation at very long wavelength. From the wiki: “long waves can diffractaround obstacles like mountains and follow the contour of the Earth (ground waves), shorter waves can reflect off the ionosphere and return to Earth beyond the horizon (skywaves), while much shorter wavelengths bend or diffract very little and travel on a line of sight, so their propagation distances are limited to the visual horizon.”

  Others have explained mesh pretty well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if the Internet Goes Down? - 15 Jan, 7PM CET⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Just installed two Bluetooth mesh messaging apps on my phone, just in case. Is there one y’all recommend? Are BIT and Berkanan ok?

  I already have too many hobbies, not going to get into amateur radio. I guess I’ll go buy a battery powered radio receiver when I get a chance, or one with a crank.

  Ah merci. Ravi de vous parler en Français.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We all took foreign languages in school and none of us can actually speak those languages⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the hardest part of gaining conversational skills: being ok with not being understood, ok being laughed at a little bit. If you’re afraid of speaking the language you’ll never progress.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We all took foreign languages in school and none of us can actually speak those languages⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Et bien vous savez quoi, on peut s’entraîner un peu. Pourquoi pas s’entraider? Je vous parle en français et vous me répondez en espagnol ?
