I understand that our local galaxy group is considered “gravitationally bound” and therefore exempt from the expansion from each other (((, but we don’t seem to have other galaxies collected into their own “local groups” of gravitationally bound clusters, so are we saying we’re somehow unique? Is there a trick of...
Has anyone else had this problem? I updated my openSuse Tumbleweed today (restart required), and now none of my games work. Most are through Steam, so at first I thought it was that. But I have Cyberpunk through GOG launched with Heroic. And even more, Alien Arena has the same problem, so it’s not even a proton issue (I did...
Hi all, I recently got into the world of ergo mech by borrowing a friend’s old Iris v2, and I really love how powerful and customizable things can be with QMK firmware....
Yeah, the Belkin is just solid; it’s definitely my longest-lived peripheral. I’ve never used anything by Razer; their stuff seems style over substance.
The DIY community here creates so much really cool stuff; I’m hoping someone else has already tackled this problem.
I’m sure it does for its purpose, but the D pad is something I use frequently to control movement in a specific direction, so I wantt to be able to, for example, strafe right for a second or two; track ball seems like not a great solution for repeated consistent input like that. Track ball seems like a better solution for doing things like moving a cursor to a particular location.
Interesting, hadn’t seen that before. Their site doesn’t really show how they get their 29 button presses–is is multiple switches for each finger? How’s the software for it and, most importantly: does it run on Linux?
That’s actually really neat, and could be worth experimenting with. It’s a shame the two halves seem to be hardwired together; I’d only want the left half. Might be a good place to start though, thanks!
I did find it amusing how much the site talks about using a smartphone with your thumbs though; that seems like an alien idea to me: I just a swipe keyboard on my phone with my index finger.
Me too! So far, the Azeron is looking most appealing, though I’m concerned about Linux support. It sounds like some people have got it working though, so maybe it’ll pan out. The ideal would still be something that supports QMK, so I’m still interested to hear if anyone’s come up with anything that does that.
You seem to be taking about something other than enshittification, which has a specific meaning and isn’t just places not respecting privacy or whatever. Per Cory Doctorow (who invented the term) via Wikipedia:
Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a “two sided market”, where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, hold each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them.
If enshittification is what you’re assist interested in reducing, check out Cory’s book, The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation.
What about just giving transparency to what the ranking is and letting people control it? Analogous to “sort by new/best/top” bit ideally with more knobs to tweak and a bunch of preset options?
Speaking of D&D Patreons, Conflux Creatures creates more interesting versions of thousands of monsters; using those had really spiced up my game, since the players have no Idea how combats are going to go any more.
Sure but given that their previous language explicitly mentions Google why remove that unless they’re trying to make people think that maybe they didn’t use Google. It’s a shady change, from a company whose CEO is already doing somewhat unhinged things.
How is taking a pay cut when there’s massive inflation even remotely understandable? Inflation means that they need to pay you more, not less; your costs are rising.
Mine was our CRT TV. I would rapidly push the power button on and off because I thought the picture coming and going looked cool but eventually it fell inside of the TV. I think I later stuck a magnet on the TV....
I saw the trailer for “American society of magical Negroes” and it looked kinda funny in the first 20 seconds, then the trailer went on to show what I’m pretty sure was literally everything in the movie....
Terminator 2. The ad campaign and trailers revealed what had the potential to be an amazing reversal of expectations well ahead of time. I actually got to see it with a friend who was out of touch enough to not have seen any spoilers; I wish I’d had his experience.
In inpatient psychiatry I tell my coworkers “I hope your shift is mind-numbingly boring” or something similar (keyword being boring) because in my line of work, interesting (usually) = bad....
I’d suggest it can be used even more lightly than that, to express that someone is pitiable in some way. My boss, who is from the Carolinas, was talking about her mother who had just had a stroke, and said “my momma, bless her heart”.
As you say, there are shades of meaning, and context is sorry important.
Can Milky Way and Andromeda collision reconcile with an Expanding Universe with galaxies spreading away from each other like "raisins in a loaf"?
