Cool cool cool

I do not understand what is happening here at all, am I getting old lemmy?

Love this thread so much, so many good recommendations. Thanks everyone for sharing!

I read my first Ted Chiang this year! I think my favorite was his short story “Tower of Babylon”. It dragged a bit for me but “The Lifecycle of Software Objects” gave me a lot of food for thought with the current LLM mania. I’m looking forward to more.

My favorite “book” this year was Stephen Baxter’s Xeelee Omnibus which is a collection of a couple of his books. The world building, physics, vast timelines and very human characters really did it for me. I still love Ian Bank’s Culture Series more but the Xeelee Sequence has been a lot of fun, highly recommend (if you’re into sci-fi).

Honorable mention goes to Charles Stross, I finally read his Accelerando and while it didn’t trip my trigger as much I felt like it really captured something of our current zeitgeist and had a lot of great moments that will stick in my head for a while.

just want to say I have been shopping for a grinder recently and this thread has been very helpful, really appreciate all the input offered!

I just want to say I enjoy all the comments here

You mean the same stuff that’s on my spinach and in my poop?

I really enjoyed this, tx for sharing!

I still have strong memories of a dish my mother used to make a few times a year that prominently included water chestnuts and the sinking feeling I would get as I took my first bite. Blegh

this is the way

it has some unique console features, such as size (you can build one that size but it’ll be pricier for the same specs, see linus’s monstrosity), CEC support, and a dedicated internal antenna for lower latency wireless controller support

the pre-built market is still huge actually and this will be a pretty reasonable prebuilt for the majority of households

advocating “hustle culture” is often virtue signalling right? “I iz very hard worker and people should appreciate me” or something?

I think it’ll sell just fine. They’re not gonna manufacture them in console sized batches. They’ll sell what they make and manufacture more if people like it. Gonna pair well with the headset. I think it’s a rich kid and nerdy tech guy console.

probably not, they’ve been building a translation layer called FEX that does x86 -> ARM, reasonable to expect it’s an x86 build optimized for FEX and the hardware specs of the Frame https://github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX

but honestly who knows, they might just release an ARM native build, it’s their own damn game, they were one of the earliest gaming companies to port games originally written for windows to linux, it’s entirely possible they’ll do a full port (am I remembering wrong internet?)

the FEX thing is underrated, I know FEX isn’t new but the news that we can expect to performantly run almost our entire steam catalogue on ARM hardware is wild

This is the way

I think the term “protest” is what throws people off. Protest can encompass a lot of different actions, including showing up to a park on the weekend. But when a lot of people hear “protest”, they imagine more direct action. They imagine people directly interfering with the fascist’s agenda.

These seem more like rallies to me. The point seems to be less about interfering with the fascist administration and more about stretching organizing muscles, building networks and strengthening the resolve of millions of people around the country. Reminding them that so many of their friends and neighbors care enough to show up too. These aren’t direct action in the same way but I think they still serve an important purpose.

We are building a web of trust and solidarity for the days ahead. Things will get worse, we are not even a year into this administration and I don’t think the gloves have really come off yet. These protest or rallies or whatever you want to call them will help us be ready. When the time comes there will be organizers and volunteers and millions of people ready to step together and fight for what we believe in. But first, this.

My Kindle is significantly lighter than my phone which makes it easier to hold for long stretches. The screen is bigger and I can render the text a little larger without sacrificing too much.The screen doesn’t produce light on it’s own which reduces eyestrain. My Kindle has a warm nightlight which I hope helps me sleep better. The page turn buttons are better placed than the volume buttons

I’ve read for hundreds and hundreds of hours on both phone and Kindle and the Kindle is absolutely worth the cost for me (once it’s hacked). I hope there are better and more open options available when it finally dies.
