Oh, so thats where the phrase “the audacity of it” comes from

And land mines are only banned because, checks notes, their indiscriminate nature (being walked on by children)

What’s a normie in this context?

Clearly New Zealand. Go check your map, I bet it’s missing as usual!

Yeah…and entirely unsurprising.

Personally I can’t see it, what have they taken away from me?

I own way more now than I did 20yrs ago when the web was still a bright young thing.

Aren’t they as equally unrecycleable as plastic?

I can’t even put them in my recycling bin…which is where the glass and plastic goes.

Currently batteries are replaceable, but due to their design it’s unlikely to be worth the expense. Forcing them to make it user replaceable ensures it’s easy to do, and cheap - so even if you don’t want to do it as a recharge mechanism, it is still to your advantage to have it so when your battery does inevitably deteriorate you can swap it out at your convenience.

That is overly polite in my opinion. I’m happy to fire up the lawn mower after 9am.

Interesting - I rarely use the controllers, so could be do-able at least as a dual boot

Interesting, thank you

Also was unaware Valve was working on a new headset! That’s good news as it feels like the market has really stagnated outside of the Meta headsets.

Does Linux have good support for VR yet? Specifically my HP Reverb g2 that seems to be reliant on windows mixed reality…

That is going to be solved by making IT nerds pretend to forget the word exists?

Hunger is also a world wide problem, doesn’t stop me from saying I’m starving!

Sir if you could just look right here

Did Oscar Pelistorious teach them nothing!?

I cannot fathom such deep despair for I only live in a world of seconds.

God speed my simple friend. God speed.

There’s a huge difference between “most clocks” and “most clocks I’ve seen” - especially if your clock experience is restricted to schools.

Do you see a lot of schools? Do you know whether the schools you’ve been to all use the same supplier? How broad is your school clock experience? How many clocks do you think you’ve seen, ever?

Most clocks I’ve seen recently (I can recall exactly 1) have seconds hands. Regardless though I’m not suggesting “most clocks” have seconds hands…I’m just making a quip about how traditional, analogue, clocks have seconds hands to deal with the exact problems noted.

Even if they did, so what? We should not then recognise positive decisions?

If we don’t allow companies and people to make any mistakes, for fear of being forever scorned, then we’ll end up with either unprogressive risk averse companies that cannot compete against their peers, or a host of good companies that go bankrupt from the slightest misstep.

Personally I’m glad companies such as proton exist, and are prepared to take risks, as they are currently our best hope against the likes of Google and Meta.

seconds hand: am I a joke to you?

The lack of migration is what kept me on ml for several days after I found out what they consider ml stands for.

One click migration to a different instance would be a huge benefit to the decentralisation effort.
