There is an entire trans community Lemmy instance in case you were unaware. Not saying it makes transphobia here okay or anything, just might be helpful to know.

The planes are unhealthy, maybe making the employees unhealthy too will help balance things out.

Holy shit Intuit and GM better shape the fuck up or the workers should just hurry up and fucking do it.

Huh, fair enough

I don’t think ConcernedApe does the console and mobile versions, I would assume he got back to Haunted Chocolatier after 1.6 dropped on PC. Pretty sure he licenses the porting process.

They’ve also talked about massively leveraging cloud computing and streaming, it’s likely a lot of actual scenery isn’t part of the offline file size unless you cache the areas for offline play (if that’s even an option)

Remember Trump every time he’s weighed in on something, like suggesting injecting people with bleach, or putting powerful UV lights inside people, or fighting Covid with a “solid flu vaccine” or preventing wildfires by sweeping the forests, or suggesting using nuclear weapons to disrupt hurricane formation, or asking about sharks and electric boat batteries? Remember these? These are the types of people who are in charge of businesses, they only care about money, they are not particularly smart, they have massive gaps in knowledge and experience but believe that they are profoundly brilliant and insightful because they’ve gotten lucky and either are good at a few things or just had an insane amount of help from generational wealth. They have never had anyone, or very few people genuinely able to tell them no and if people don’t take what they say seriously they get fired and replaced with people who will.

Also market share != number of users. The number of internet users worldwide in 2009 was about 1.7 billion, this year it is passing 5.5 billion, many of them with multiple devices.

Need For Speed Underground 2 I would list as a solid GOAT for the genre of open world arcade racing.

Do optical disks degrade if protected from the elements? A stack of Blu-ray disks could store quite a bit.

As someone who can’t medicate my ADHD, even with caffeine because they all either don’t help or interfere with my panic disorder which is much, much more debilitating, it is… Not great, but I’ve mostly found a lifestyle that works for me. I’ve found careers that I can handle. Maintaining a household alone is… Very rough under the circumstances but it is what it is.

All that said, HIGHLY recommend staying active enough that you are tired at the end of the day and having an alarm clock with a bright light on it, or a dawn simulation ideally with smart lighting, a special alarm clock, or a diy solution with a full spectrum lamp and an aquarium timer (guess which one I did during college). Maintaining a good schedule and waking up in the AM feeling at least reasonably well rested is paramount, everything else goes to hell if that isn’t maintained, and if I’m not physically active during the day, no amount of melatonin will get me to sleep within a routine.

Online PUA culture really.

I don’t love the difficulty of extremely fast individual identification but there is something to be said for the ease of extremely fast collective identification, it makes it very easy to see which group of apps each app belongs to, which is also valuable.

Please don’t bring NASA into this, the space program benefitted the lives of basically everyone on earth in incredible incalculable and calculable ways, from contributing to the peaceful collapse of the Soviet Union to countless technologies developed for it and as a result of it, to the birth of the environmental movement and a massive influx in people going into STEM. The US space program has probably done more for your health than socialized medicine would.

All of which is not to say that America is doing great and it shouldn’t have socialized healthcare, but simply to say, keep our Apollo’s name out of your mouth.

I was hoping I’d see nighthawkinlight in the wild here.

Ah, the Tetris effect

Zigbee has already done that for a long time and most of those smart bulbs could already be used with various bridges or zigbee controllers.

I mean, that’s great, I like self hosting and running my own basic household server and the like. But are you seriously suggesting that’s anywhere close to being accessible to most people?

Nobody I know of is stopping you from doing that. Zigbee is pretty ubiquitous, Hue can be controlled offline and by third party bridges and can just link directly into a zigbee controller if you want. Most people don’t want to bother setting that up.

You can use most of them without being connected to the internet, just can’t control from your phone without being hooked up to your home network.
