True, but if you had the ability to flash your OS, there’d also be the potential of using a third paty repair shop to get it flashed with a new OS. That would be about the same experience as getting a new phone, but cheaper.
- Comment on Android updates: thanks I hate it. 1 week ago:
That’s one aspect, but many phones are also just straight-up not jail-breakeable. It’s an unfortunate reality of the phone manufacturing world that they put up as many barriers as possible to try and prevent you from having free range with your phone.

I genuinely feel for y’all not able to flash your own OS.
- Comment on Search GTA 6 Requirements 1 week ago:
True, though it’s a mix of culpability. We wouldn’t be in this situation if devs quit over poor managerial decisions. Devs keep their heads down and do the dirty work, so they’re also culpable in these trends. They don’t deserve defending, they deserve a wakeup call.
- Comment on Search GTA 6 Requirements 1 week ago:
I don’t disagree with this. Software’s performance enshittification is maybe non intentional per-se, but it’s pretty obvious that devs don’t think they need to optimize until it’s confirmed that their software is insufferably slow. And I mean their software has to be so slow that it loses them customers in droves.

Fish-Bach and Nester would approve.

Unus Anus had an episode where they steamed themselves with their own piss in one of these, IIRC.
What a silly one-time thing.
- Comment on French culture 1 week ago:
Wait, woah, so the term ‘train’ is from the French work for ‘motion’, essentially? That’s kind of a dub.
- Comment on French culture 1 week ago:
I once heard from a friend learning French that the way to say that you are in the process of doing something literally translated to ‘I am on the train to [doing the thing]’. Is that correct?

This art has no careful forms.
No clean lines.
No shading.
And yet,
It is beautiful.

The witch stalks them for days, picks them off when alone, and at the climax of the film ambushes them in the abandoned house. I’d say that counts as a persistent ambush predator.
- Comment on Whenever a beast is shown on screen 2 weeks ago:
I’d say that a witch creature which stalks trespassing videographers counts as an indigenous predatorial species of a local ecosystem.
- Comment on Whenever a beast is shown on screen 2 weeks ago:
Bruh, what cherry picking. Literally in the exact same movie you have velociraptors stalking prey in groups and the dilophosaurus doing their own patronizing thing. If we look to other movies, you’ve got Xenomorphs, you’ve got tremor worms, you’ve got pumpkin head, you’ve got Moder (The Ritual), you’ve got the Blair Witch, etc.
There’re plenty of good stalking monsters in film, some of which that you don’t even know are there till it’s too late.

F in the chat for all the improvised fleshlights that did not survive the march of time. Not even an ancient cum sock.

Can confirm, was 90s gamer. Captain Falcon on Smash Bros 64 had TITS on CRT.

The trailer’s a pretty big nothing burger. The date is April 12th for the gameplay trailer. It’s not a release date.
- Comment on Virgin Physicists 1 month ago:
4 Sig figs vs 9 Sig figs is a big gap. If you need your resistors in a circuit to be precise to 9 Sig figs, seek a new career.
It is almost always possible to take a system and make it more precise by using more precise parts (just gotta make sure you know what part you are changing to improve what tolerance). You do get diminishing returns with that, but it beats inventing a new system if the tolerances you need are just alittle ways away.
- Comment on Virgin Physicists 1 month ago:
A big aspect of good design is being able to solve an issue as succinctly as possible, with as wide an operating range as possible. Lower tolerance requirements = better.
If you need that level of precision, you might want to reconsider your career in circuit design.

In airsoft, the beebees can sting pretty bad when they hit you, but some people still choose to ignore getting hit and don’t call them. They assume no one can see them.
- Comment on Video game characters should swear when they get hurt 1 month ago:
IIRC this also happened in Insurgency. I seem to recall being fired upon while my character screamed “FUCK SHIT SHIT” while bullets were flying by. Great game prior to changing hands and being nuked.
- Comment on Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system. 2 months ago:
Recommendations: if you have any technical aptitude, get a vice, pliers, wirecutters, nylon cord, and several yards of fastener wire from a local hardware store. That can solve a very large number of minor accessory problems with ingenuity. Old-school prototyping can ween you Off buying smaller “specialized” products.

Couldn’t boycott it for the moral reasons? Like, are you saying you’d still support the height of shitty companies destroying their industries if they just had good UI?

Trying to wrap my head around how incromprehensively large even just our sun is always makes me feel dizzy.
We are not even a pale blue dot to most of the universe, and when we disappear nothing will know or remember us.

Alright. Just a guess here, but the instructor put the hat on the gator. My thought is that they were attempting to use their hat as an impromptu blinder so they could wrangle it. Instead, however, the gator could still see, didn’t like what was going on, and bailed.

I jumped over to logseq. It takes some getting used to, but overall logseq is working fine overall.

It’s mostly just a way of communicating be bizarre nature of infinite series and other problems related to infinity. Just fun thought experiments.
