Not to mention that Vanced-type apps and content mirrors are still going strong, and proper alternative platforms like Grayjay and Nebula are getting more attractive.
I wonder how soon self-hosted video distribution will be feasible. Does ActivityPub support that yet?
How would they determine if the ad is played without trusting the client? I guess they could screw with the buffer, but that would really piss of people with poor internet, and most people would prefer an ad-length black screen to whatever attention wrenching dark pattern manipulative brown noise wants to infect your mind today.
I don't think it will. The large cost of a reactor will probably be shared, but fission plants don't deal with plasma, magnets, hydrogen/helium storage, lasers, or capacitors. And we don't even know the method by which a practical fusion plant will operate!
Coal has caused more deaths this year than the entire history of nuclear anything has in total. This includes nuclear energy, nuclear research, nuclear medicine, nuclear irradiation (food storage), and too many orphan sources.
Radioactive waste maybe. Fusion plants are likely to create irradiated parts that degrade quickly, similar to fission plants. Fusion fuel on the other hand, is gaseous, and likes to escape. Hydrogen is explosive, while helium-3 is just expensive.
On one hand, synthetic methane is set to be rather important in the medium term future. On the other hand, bio methane is probably the worse greenhouse product at the moment.
Freeform building and exploring, crafting, survival, pixel art, endless gameplay. There and definitely a lot of similarities, especially compared to say CS:GO.
Oh, and don't forget the insane modding communities.
Spinks has credited Minecraft as direct inspiration. Terraria was first released among the gobs and gobs of minecraft clones, yet it was obvious that Terraria wasn't a clone.
As for "Full Release", Terraria was first released as a fully working game, with it's 1.0 being the first public release in May 2011. Minecraft 1.0.0 was November 2011. Minecraft's first public release was Classic 0.0.11a in May 2009.
Eh, i wouldn't call that freeform building and exploring. Rather unconstrained base building, sure, and open world exploration, but you can't disassemble the boss dungeon and rebuild it as a boat in hell. You can't automatically kill enemies in a pit of lava. There's no getting lost in your own mess of tunnels. And no one is making a working GPU out of Pals.
Ehh, the fragmented nature helps prevent systemic abuses that encourage that redditoid behavior, and also encourages instance hopping more regularly than once a decade.
Dumping that reddit behavior should be a lot easier now.
It's just taking nice blue-white natural light and pissing harsh yellow light all over it.
It makes me wonder if we have different amounts of blue cones, that they literally can't see all the blue light. Is there one of those colour blind tests that can estimate cone density?
I have my phone's flashlight hooked up to the extra button that was supposed to be for an ai assistant, and I use it more than every other non-keyboard button on every other device I own combined.
Not only am I more comfortable in the natural light/darkness, I never need to make a return trip to turn the lights out.
That's true. Office fluorescents are often a very clinical and harsh tone.
Maybe it's something to do with the breadth of the spectrum? Are some eyes better at utilizing a wife spectrum even if the intendity is lower, while other eyes care prinarily about the maximum intensity?
Or maybe it's something to do with exposure? Some people can't see the intensity difference between spill light from outside and dedicated room lights because their brain adjusts the effective exposure differently?
Maybe it's overexposure filtering. Some people get headaches from brighter light but don't notice the brightness because of all the extra work their visual cortex is doing to filter out the extra light, while other people genuinely need the extra intensity?
Bixby is the one yeah. Until AI assistants can ask clarifying questions and replicate arbitrary actions, they'll just get in my way.
As for the method, I use bxActions to remap buttons. You can add an action for a single press, a double press, a long press, and a double press and hold, and then a different set of actions on the lockscreen too.
Single press does indeed get pressed accidentally sometimes, so I have that as Media play/pause. Flashlight gets put on long press, which has extra functionality; if you release as soon as it comes on, it's a toggle, but if you keep holding the button it will turn off when you release it. Very convenient. The double press and double hold set screen rotation, although I don't use then very often. Double press on the lockscreen opens the camera.
You can add lots of other actions too, like an extra bright flashlight (both flashlights automatically turn off after 5 minutes), launch apps, switch apps, take a screenshot, use google assistant instead, set sound setting (like do not disturb, or IOS mode), other media buttons, volume buttons, home button, back button, open some system utilities, change one handed mode, toggle the screen (like pressing the power button), toggle fullscreen, and do some notification managment. Oh, and did I mention you can rebind the volume buttons too? That's 24 different actions you can bind.
Only issue I've had is it's not a system service, so android likes to kill it when it gets low on battery or RAM. But that's a problem for every custom service.
TL;DR: Both. Flashlight gets a 5 minute timer, and I also have it on a long press.
No, most of the places I notice my aversion to yellow light have pretty neutral colours; off-whites, greys, the occasional green. I haven't looked into it, but I would say the yellow lights (at least the ones that bother me) distort the colours more. I have no idea when the Colour Rendering Index of them are, just that they seem much hasher. Maybe yellow lights are more tolerable to most people, so they install more? Yellow lights aren't rated for higher power though. Maybe it's purely the colour temperature, maybe it has to do with sun exposure and cloudy days?
Just the CRI wouldn't explain why some people find the addition of artificial light unnecessary at best while others seem to need it to see. There's probably some amount learned perception going on, but I don't think you can learn to be blind to certain light, can you?
Is it possible that the sensory processing differences are caused by the difference in retina cells? That the cerebellum develops differently to deal with different inputs and thus behaves differently elsewhere?
I find it hard to imagine that the difference between needing the room lights because it's too dark and only noticing the shift in colour temperature is just due to visual processing. If the eyes are the same, why can some people see well and others less so?
Oh, no problems! Colour rendering isn't an angle I'd thought of yet, and clashing colours is definitely something I'll think aboit next time.
I do have to wonder if my aversion is learned, as I am very much not a morning person, so waking up by strong sunlight or room light are both negative experiences. I'm also a big fan of rainy days, and I wonder how much the light colours play into that and how.
I feel like letting pets/horses respawn sitting at pet beds/hay bales would massively increase their useage. You'd still have to go back home if you want to keep exploring with them, but not you can have some investment without easily losing everything.
Some smarter AI that actively avoids lava and cactus would be nice. Retreating when hurt could be good too.
US debt is currently higher than their GDP. Even if they could leverage the entire country into only paying debt (they can't), it would take over a year to pay off. At the current average interest rate of ~3%, that's enough to pay for the entirety of NASA's budget five times over.
The last time US debt was greater than their GDP was the second world war.
If you consider Imperialism a religion yes. Imperialism so often adopts the predominant religion (Nazi, U.S., H.R.E.) or directly competes with it (eastern bloc communism) that I don't think it's an unreasonable position.
Perhaps we should blame the root cause here: non-representative authoritarianism. The taking of power not given.
That make complete sense, thank you for correcting me.
I think I was conflating the practice of matching donations with this, as both have a corporation encouraging you to donate to the charity they choose.
I wouldn't consider "tacos near me" a representative search; google specifically optimizes searching for products and especially local food.
I just searched for "first speedrun" and the first few results are decent but wrong, and the videos, shorts, and related searches after the first 2 entries are complete garbage.
Being served 70% links to products sucks when searching anything related to a product isn't fun either.
Oh, whoops, I wasn't comparing Stract, I was comparing Google. Those are the reasons I don't use Google search, I hadn't tried Stract yet.
After trying it, it seems cool. Not the best at broad meanings though. "Ram" returns an Indian politician as the "answer", a site in Japanese for the first link, and then mostly results for Random Access Memory after. No reference to the Dodge Ram (thank Odin), but also no reference to male sheep.
It also feels very anti-store, which is a nice change, but might ve an artifact of the seemingly anti-SEO stance, with random results from anywhere. Maybe that's just the European focus?
It also has issues with getting context from multiple keywords, and doesn't prioritize say "street car" over pages that happen to contain both "street" and "car". Excluding keywords with "-" works though, very nice. Quotes can help with phrases to, so " "street car" " finds exactly things called "street car" with the space. Both still miss streetcars though. Misspelling corrections are offered but not assumed, which is very nice.
Definitely the biggest issue is the seemingly random results. This might be good if you're searching for an exact string that is only present in a few places, but anything common and it's a crapshoot. It's nearly unable to find anything to do with shamrocks, prefering to find business' named Shamrock.
I'd compare it to The Lord of the Rings books vs the movies. The Movies are a great abridged series and they know what pacing is, but the books explain so much more and have several extra movies worth of cut content.
Not the account for the random hotel or restaurant. "Pay with the O'Burger app!" "Collect 425 SkyPoints with a Platinum Membership!"
You don't need an online account to buy food at a grocery, but if you had one I guarantee they'd spam the heck out of you, alongside whatever else they might do with your data.
I mean, paying for Netflix with cash would definitely be a power move.
Utilities don't have special offers that I know of. Check or online is very country dependent though.
I'm having a little trouble thinking of a service that would have automatic reminders but not require an account to access the service... Hotel? Something with layaway? Maybe car payments. Tuition too. Those don't exactly seem like spurious account services though... Maybe the reminders are for pickup?
The fustercluck of comedic timing and ever more infuriating bad luck culminating in righteous anger and bewilderment at the absurdity of dying instantly to nothing is the most beautiful thing to grace my screen this year.
That kind of luck has got to be a once in a decade thing.
