Have a good Monday
  • I work for the state so we are off for spring break this week :)

  • Anon is smarter than a genius
  • Dying elevates any career. It happens in sports all the time, a dead player is praised above better, still living players from their era. Senna and Prost come to mind

  • I am once again asking...
  • I posted because of this post

  • it was a beautiful day at COTA

    Which obscure browser do you daily drive?
  • Fennec (Firefox based)

  • Amazon's previous VP of Prime Gaming said they "tried everything" to disrupt Steam
  • I don't think they tried releasing a compelling product.

  • Anon compares Harry and Ron
  • You don't win the Daytona 500 without a few cars wrecking

  • Nothing Phone (3a) is coming March 4 with 50MP 3x camera, bigger 50MP main
  • Eh, MP count means very very little in this modern world of computational smartphone photography. My Nokia XR21 (2024) was $400 brand new and has a 50MP sensor but it's photos are comparable to a 12mp pixel 4 (2019). Processing and optics are everything.

    Will probably be a great phone regardless

  • After almost half a century, I'm still doing it...
  • Every network engineer must lock themselves out of a node at some point, it is a rite of passage.

  • The sense of loss from the fediverse hits hard sometimes
  • Am I the only one using jerboa?

  • Online algorithms could help save the planet with just a few small tweaks.
  • Yea they COULD, but they won't. All these big tech companies profit massively off destroying the environment. The same data centers that use huge amounts of water and electricity that would serve these climate videos are what made them rich.

    I'm not convinced just pushing a topic most people willfully ignore would work. People will just scroll past the boring climate change videos that make them feel bad about existening to click on meme compilations.

    Also, I hate that we still push the "individuals can fix the climate" narrative. Corporate pollution is the major issue, the 17 biggest ships in the world produce more pollution than the global car fleet. We need regulation not algo tweaks. Big tech isn't going to push videos that might educate people to that fact, so even the videos we would get in a project like this would contain misinformation.

  • Meta says this is the make or break year for the metaverse
  • It's so obviously break and not make but I will happily watch them spend their money

  • NASCAR introduces new Xfinity Fastest Lap
  • It's weird to me that the series changes names entirely depending on title sponsors. Someone will be the last Xfinity champ this year.

  • Huawei Starry One Handheld Teased featuring HarmonyOS
  • Oh yea there are already. I was alluding the the Retroid Pocket 5 for $200. It runs basically all of GC and PS2 and a lot of switch and winlator.

  • Huawei Starry One Handheld Teased featuring HarmonyOS
  • Interesting, we are already at the point where $200 android handhelds can run the heaviest emulators and games designed for Android, I'm curious what their spin will be because more power is a waste at this point.

  • A hypothetical sci-fi (or fantasy) scenario question: If a civilization couldn't set up its own internet, or if a curse was placed on it, what would be the best replacement for what it does?
  • Cuba might be a good place to look for a real world example of this. They had the concepts of "SNET" and "el paquete semanal" that were solutions to poor internet penetration, expensive internet costs (pay per MB), and heavy restrictions on that internet.

    El paquete semanal is a weekly payload of the latest movies, TV episodes, manga, comics, etc. that gets brought into the country and spread by sneakernet.

    SNET is widespread guerilla LAN networking to the point where Cuba had a well populated private WoW server. Also solved some of the Internet cost issues because you could game and share content locally without paying for every little MB.

    As of 2020, SNET is now "illegal" and those existing networks are being absorbed into their ISP.

  • What do you do when people don't care?
  • I mean, I care, but what can I do about it? There isn't a CEO I can shoot to make it stop, nor can I make voting day get here any sooner. All I can do is stamp out ignorance when I see it.

  • Difficult Times
  • Ty :)
