Everyone is pointing at the others for the actual cause. The corporations that buy the stuff you move around in your truck should be targeted? Or the politicians that allow you to buy a gas gurgler (and ruin the environment) by driving it around without it being prohibitively expensive?

Or should you suffer because you bought the car and are driving it into city centers (where public transport is available, and most SUVs are not used for hauling goods)

Imagine, going for a skiing trip and when you get down, you don't queue for the lift, but you just ski into the portal and continue at the top of some piste. The commute gets insanely short, I can WFH, pop in for lunch or a coffee chat, and then jump back home to do some work.

I've read that the cells in my body aren't the same as the ones I was born with, so I did a very slow gradual body swap already, possibly a few times.

Wow, brands have to spend $1000 per month to keep their verification. I thought 8 per month was a rip-off!

I thought that was godaddy?

How is your Swiss German? I quite like SRF Digital, but it's likely completely incomprehensible.

They're not leaking the air out while the car is driven. Modern European cars all have pressure sensors and will warn the driver when there isn't enough air in the tires to drive safely. Saves you from walking around the vehicle to see if everything is tied and pumped up properly.

A single daily (or weekly) thread would be nice. Get all the people to talk in there, let us discuss eh, how much we enjoy the silence! :)

I started playing the last of us 2 remastered. I didn't play the original (but did play 1 remastered). I don't know if it was modified "for modern audiences", but it would depend a lot.

Having more characters from Asian or African descent would please me. Making it look more like the (in my opinion) excellent tv series would be less great, but understandable. Removing the whole "military is bad" arc (like they did in the tv show), would suck.

If the government also runs a server, does your seever send them a copy of every (public) post you make?

Got released in 2020, but Wikipedia said development started in 2014. PS5 version is called remastered, no idea how much is different.

That value is instilled in many types of engineering, but not as much in software engineering.

For your 2 headphones, there are 3.5mm splitters, small devices where you plug in 2 headphones, and plug then into one walkman. Works with any brand of headphones :)

I'm looking for the Bluetooth version of that. Connect the btsplitter to the phone, and two headphones to the splitter. Edit: found easily.

The feature I liked most in goodreads, was that it would send you a monthly email with "new books by authors you've read". It would send it at the start of the month, which was not actionable, but if you'd just wait a few months reading it, it was easy to see that LE Modesitt Jr finished another book in the series I enjoyed.

They stopped sending that, now it's a "here are some books we want you to show some interest in".

I got a bookwyrm account, and apart from not knowing all the books I've read, they also can't tell me what books have come out recently, by authors I enjoyed in the past.

I'd think that would be a basic part of any book collection tool.

Does it have a relationship mechanic though? I always assumed it was just about equipment and using that.

If there are some big players (like in email), i think the biggest risk is that the big players would end up only talking to each other.

Similar to email, where a random host is likely to be spamming, that might happen here too. (Although I'm not that familiar with the protocols here)
