Best non-coke alternative to coke zero?
  • I guess to be fair, there are some local places around me that make sodas, which probably are reasonable ethical businesses. Depending on how many bourbon colas you're drinking, it might be worth paying extra for an locally made soda if possible. If you don't have someone that makes soda locally (which is probably likely), maybe consider buying from "gourmet soda" brands like Hank's.

  • Why are American universities so expensive?
  • Administrative bloat. At my university, if my lab lands a grant, 60% goes to the university and only 40% is used for actual research. There's a long chain of people whose jobs are to answer emails, and they all need to be paid.

  • Almost all soda is produced by a corporation run by psychopaths. Your best bet is to stop drinking soda.

  • How could OSU think this is a good look?

  • Terminally Ill Fan Was Able To Play Borderlands 4 Early, And He Says It's Amazing
  • They already did this stunt for the last game. Great for that fan, but feels more manufactured the second time around.

  • Sony Reportedly Scrapped 'Beyond the Spider-Verse' and Rewrote the Entire Sequel
  • Wouldn't be surprised if the 3rd movie was bad. 2nd one was very unsatisfying. It didn't feel like it stood very well on its own, and it felt like the majority of the movie was spent explaining the whole "cannon" concept.

  • Is Lemmy your "main social media app"? If not, which one is it?
  • Lemmy. For more niche communities that don't exist on Lemmy I use RSS feeds on specific subreddits. Discord for chatting with friend and other niche communities. LinkedIn because I'm in academia.

  • Florida teen with machete arrested for voter intimidation at polling place
  • If there isn't a clear case of self defense, it might be illegal. Classic internet tough guy speak from the OP. No sense in escalating or getting tied up in it. Just call the cops and leave it to them.

  • Pennsylvania: anger among Puerto Ricans in key swing state after racist remarks
  • You're working under the assumption that Puerto Ricans saw Trump either favorably or neutrally before this incident.

  • Recomened me some Japanese movies with English subtitles
  • I like Red Lion. It isn't either genre, but it is a feudal Japanese film that is filled with a surprising amount of comedy. Could be of interest to you if you can tolerate older movies. Shin Gojira and Gojira Minus One are also both good, but unfortunately don't fit in the genres you suggested either.

  • Ah, yes. Nintendo has definitely done evil on the level of... checks notes ...slavery.

    Might want to reevaluate your list there.

  • How should I continue learning?
  • Does your school have a robotics team or something along the lines of computing? That would be a good option. Also if you are still in high school and plan on going to college, you still have plenty of time to learn.

  • How do you view your role in public ethics as a developer?
  • Well luckily AI researchers have achieved plenty in over 60 years. We call the ideas and innovations resulting from this research "AI."

  • How do you view your role in public ethics as a developer?
  • So the entire field of AI has produced no AI. Gotcha 👌

  • How do you view your role in public ethics as a developer?
  • OK what qualifies as AI then?

  • FPGA PS1 Teased By MiSTer Pi Creator Ahead Of PlayStation's 30th Anniversary | Time Extension
  • allowing to customize its PCB specifically for the needs of FPGA console emulation.

    From what I can recall, this is not what happened. He has stated multiple times that he's designed it to work as much like a DE-10 Nano as possible. There are no significant differences between his board and the original from what I can tell.

  • How do you view your role in public ethics as a developer?
  • Oof, programmers calling LLMs "AI" - that's embarrassing

    ...but LLMs quite literally come from the field of computer science that is referred to as "AI." What are they supposed to call it? I'm not a fan of the technology either, but seems like you're just projecting your disdain for ChatGPT.

  • FPGA PS1 Teased By MiSTer Pi Creator Ahead Of PlayStation's 30th Anniversary | Time Extension
  • I've been following the Mister FPGA project and just set up my new one. It's a great project. However I do not quite understand what the motivation of these consolized Misters are. It's going to take significant software development effort to make a Mister completely polished, and it is such a niche target audience I'd think it wouldn't be worth it.

  • Looking for application to do very simple 2D animation

    I spend a lot of time creating system diagrams for presentations. I always use Inkscape to draw these diagrams. However I ran into a scenario where I wanted to animate them. The animations I'm looking for are dead simple. I want to be able to fade in, fade out, and slide basic shapes. The way I worked around it this time was by using PowerPoint. However, is there an FOSS alternative I could use? I would probably need to also export the animation into a gif or some other platform agnostic format. Bonus points for something that can use the images I draw in Inkscape.

    Temperature drop with pourover

    I'm using a Fellow Stag and a metal V60 with a fabric filter. I do a 1:16 ratio (16g of coffee and 256g of water). Generally I'll place the V60 on the Stag while it brings the water up to a boil in order to heat it up. Then I'll saturate the fabric filter with the hot water. I'll use 212F water, but after pouring the water over the grounds, my instant read thermometer will read 195F. It seems weird that despite doing everything in my power to preheat all the equipment, the water drops a lot in temperature as soon as it hits the grounds. Any tips to tackle this problem?
