And nothing of value was lost…
I’m also on Mastodon
And nothing of value was lost…
Somehow reminds me of the anime Mushi-Shi.
All of that and Custom DNS? Sounds like a pet project with scope issues.
Having had both, I can say that with the framework you get a much better display, but you lose the trackpoint. The framework has better repairability, but has less IO. The hardware on the framework is well supported on Linux, but can be hit or miss on thinkpads, especially newer ones.
The only thing I’m really missing on the framework is the black thinkpad chassis - can’t really get used to the aluminum.
Beyond the proven addictive effects of handing a dopamine device to your kid, there are legal ramifications many parents aren’t aware of.
WhatsApp and TikTok aren’t just there like air, free for all to consume. They are service providers and both sides are bound by a contract, the EULA. IIRC, WhatsApp recently reduced it minimum age from 16 to 12. So if you install WhatsApp on your 8 year old’s phone, you have broken the contract.
I can’t quote a study, but I did read the book Germs Genes and Civilizations. The author observed that the power of the church grew during situations like the Black Plague or the 30 years war, and waned during the Enlightenment.
Well, my handwriting is an unnatural abomination. Maybe I should try switching hands?
I use KoReader, which is available for several different devices. It has a WebDav plugin, which I pointed to my NextCloud instance.
Whenever I encounter something on my tablet, laptop or phone, I upload it to NextCloud and can access it at my leisure.
I’m putting way to much thought in this, but I am seeing a payphone and no camera, but I’m also seeing an anatomically correct hand and a properly mirrored Champion logo.
That writeup from Xiph is excellent. The comparison with adding ultraviolet and infrared to video makes so much sense. But you’re dealing with audiophiles who seriously consider getting hi-end power and ethernet cables. I read somewhere that there was a listening test with speakers connected with hanger wire - and audiophiles couldn’t tell.
In the end, it’s all physics. I could never hear a quality improvement beyond normal 16bit, 320kbps, no matter how demanding the music.
A few years ago I did listening comparisons of Amazon Music, Spotify, Deezer, Tidal and Quobuzz. At least for my ears, Tidal was way better, with engaging dynamic range and clarity. Quobuzz was just a little better, while listening to Spotify and Amazon Music was like FM radio in comparison, loud and compressed.
Pricewise, they’re all somewhat similar. I went with Tidal because it has good quality, a good catalogue, and pays the artists better.

I used to have a TypeMatrix around 15 years ago and really enjoyed it, but the rubber domes wore out on me. Happy to hear that yours survived that long!
There is a commercial product with big keys in the middle - the Truly Ergonomic, which I got afterwards. The new version has optic switches, and you can reprogram the middle keys. I also had the Cleave and have to say, those switches are damn smooth, but I prefer the layout I set up on my Moonlander.
I feel called out on this one :D For years we were like “Marry and have kids? No way, we’re way too irresponsible ourselves!” After 14 years we thought we might as well marry. And now it’s been (counts on fingers) 27 years, and we have three wonderful kids and couldn’t imagine any other life!
And another kid called Snotty.
The question isn’t how high the resolution of reality is, but how well we can process it is. There is an upper limit to visual acuity, but I’d have to calculate what an arc-minute at 6 meters would be and I’m too lazy right now. Regarding fps, some people can notice artefacts up to 800hz, but I’d think going with 120hz would be ok. Remember, you’ll have to generate stereoscopic output.
Hey, I also had a toy like that! Cool!
Who could’ve imagined that Google is becoming just as mediocre and boring as any other large corporation. What a surprise!
They were being dicks even in the 80s. I remember the Russian Woodpecker. My father was a amateur radio operator and there were whole frequency bands that were unusable because of that prat-prat-prat-prat.
