Man I hope this concept never “gets off the ground”. I don’t trust the average person in a car. Let alone in a flying machine? But it seems like such a waste of a concept. Probably can’t use it in most cities, with big airports usually claiming the airspace around them. This one still requires a runway to take off. Try and find the space for that in a city.
Recently reinstalled my Windows partition, made the switch from 10 to 11 with it. If you’re not careful Microsoft will happily replace your local Documents folder with the OneDrive Documents folder. Local one? No trace. Very VERY frustrating to untangle.
Whatcha all been playing? Been kind of sick this week so I took it easy but still found some time to get some Isaac runs in. Also started up rogue legacy 2 again which is a good time
Got back into Elite Dangerous big time. Gathered the courage to go to Colonia finally! The journey wasn’t as bad as I expected. Spread it out over two days and it’s very doable! I’ll stick around the Colonia region for a bit and then its on to Sag A*
I’m running my trusty ASP Explorer, engineered to a max jump range of about 65ly.
I’m pretty sure you can make the journey with less jump range, but the more you have, the more comfortable it will be. Just be sure to take as many neutron stars along the way as you can! 😁
No more reddit on my phone to doomscroll. I do still check it occasionally on desktop, for some niche subreddits, but not really beyond that.
Only negative is that I added Instagram reels to my doomscrolling routine. I feel like reels are more brainrot than reddit was… Should definitely work on getting insta out of my routine!
Other than that no major changes from Lemmy i think.
let's say I'm torrenting a movie, and the torrent is downloading faster than the movie would play, is there any software that can handle a constantly changing file? thanks...
Hi all, looking for tutorials online is cool and all, but sometimes you just wanna sit down and read a physical book to understand something. So I was looking for suggestions on which books helped you the most, or which you’ve heard positive things about. Thanks!
Did not expect to see a furry anime girl on the cover when I opened that link hahah.
eBook should work for me too. I’ll just have to look for an eReader somewhere, or just read on my PC. I’m looking to apply it to my home PC mostly, but using it in production sounds like something I could apply too. Thanks!
Zettlr is a great program, but to recommend it while bashing Obsidians table editing seems interesting. I’ve never used Obsidian so I can’t say how good their implementation is, but I know I’ve struggled alot with the Zettlr tables…

Anytype as an alternative to Notion or Obsidian
Stumbled on this program called Anytype a while ago, a note-taking application similar to Notion. It’s surprisingly well polished and works for me....
