The lack of "easy money". A lot of companies have had accelerated growth due to an influx of investments which were mostly interest-free (or very low interest) loans . You didn't have to have a good product - just overinflate your value till your IPO, then the value will determine stock price, everyone gets rich.

Now that interest rates are higher, investors want a lot more bang for their buck. Couple this with companies that no longer know how to make good products, now they're just squeezing shit dry and scheming and scamming their customers to fulfill their one and only legal obligation: make more money for the shareholders.

Godot, it's the most mature of the bunch. It's a little different than Unity, but it's definitely very user friendly, really powerful and has an active community.

Fusion 360. I'm sorry, but FreeCAD just can't compare.

Hardware... what?

You kid, but I think he actually did.

I cancelled my subscription a couple of months ago.

Instead, I donate monthly to SomaFM, a very nice radio station with a lot of cool genres.

It's crazy how much I missed the lack of control over what the next song was. I ended up listening to more stuff outside my comfort zone.

Wasn't Waze bought by Google or am I misremembering?

Jellyfin would be great if only you could change subtitle colors. With HDR content, having pure white subtitles is eye-scorching.

Odourless, tasteless, colorless, uncarbonated soda pop.

Sony still uses multicolor notification LED in their phones.

I really like Clima. It uses the Open-Meteo API. Source here.

Ha, you're right. I'll use Plex till then, but as soon as this feature hits WebOS, I'll switch in a heartbeat. Jellyfin is so much cleaner and faster than Plex.

I Come In Peace / Dark Angel (1990) - campy sci-fi action with a really interesting premise.

I watched it as a kid on VHS in the early nineties, then spent 20 something years trying to remember its name.

Very retro with the heavy dropshadow. Love it!

Appreciate it! I wanted to use existing setups/dotfiles, but none of them really spoke to me, so I said screw it and I started from scratch.

That's what you get from not using curl

Thanks! I like the big gaps, and having two monitors helps.

Oh no no no. I erased that GIF from my mind, I don't want it back.

What a comforting thought that is to know.

EDIT: "Who's next" is more accurate though.

It really depends on your use case. My Titan's MediaTek is enough for me as I don't do super intensive tasks on it. In a pinch it does the job. If I'm away and need to quickly SSH into my servers, I can do that, no problem. I can make calls and text people and it has a huge battery. Right now it's as de-googled as it can get with the stock ROM.

The drawback is that due to the wonky 1:1 aspect ratio display, a lot of apps either have bugs or bad usability, because they were created for taller scrrens. To me, it doesn't matter, as I cut down on smartphone usage and just have a handful of apps.

No, I extracted some colors from the wallpaper and used that.

There are still some smartphones that have hardware keyboards. Unihertz makes a few (I have the very unwieldy OG Titan). There's also the Fxtec Pro1 X.

The problem is that the kind of people that run these types of companies will first see the world burnt to ashes before losing profits and power.

So yes, they will fall, but they'll be taking us down with them.

If Children of Time is anything to go by, then definitely spiders.
