I’m definitely curious. Browser-switching is annoyingly mentally difficult, though. I keep bouncing between Arc and Firefox, so maybe this is the perfect marriage.

The aprons keep it nice and sturdy. Although now I’m at work and wondering if I added a stretcher along the bottom lengthwise… I can’t recall.

I made this design from Matthias Wandel a few years back, and it has served me well. I had a big piece of laminated MDF that someone left in the garage after we bought our house – perfect for the top. I do with that I had something heavier for when I need to whack a chisel or do some ripping with a handsaw, though.

No but when I tried to change Mastodon servers, I was frustrated to learn that I could carry over my followers but nothing else. The platform highlighted “easy mobility,” but I found that to be misleading.

I think the biggest problem that Mastodon et. al need to solve is changing servers/accounts. There needs to be an easy way to move servers while retaining past posts, etc.

I think that it’s actually a good thing. If a criminal record disqualified you, it could be easy to cook up bogus charges against a political opponent just to kick them off the ballot. We also have along history in the USA of black folks getting charged with crimes at a disproportionately high rate.

I’ve been excited for this game since the original trailer (I think it was a Nintendo direct). I have a few games to finish first, then I’ll get this.

Don’t forget to turn on captions when you watch! He adds lots of supplemental information.

OK - I thought this was the case, but wasn’t sure. At any rate, a microSD card is a good purchase (but that’s true for all of these handhelds).

Should’ve named it The Holodeck!

It’s definitely not as comfortable as something like the Steam Deck, but I played so much Switch while commuting on the train since it came out. It’s been a real joy to have. It’s also WAY smaller than any of the current-gen handhelds.

What do you mean by “cart games being downloaded in full to the system?”

I might be in the minority, but I generally prefer to wait and avoid early access, beta, etc. Whenever I participate, I get burned out before the final game releases, so I don’t get to enjoy the complete artistic vision.

It makes sense — we just don’t understand it yet 😀

I played all of Horizon Zero Dawn on a Steam Deck, so it might work for you. You can get it for like $10 on key resell websites

That only works if you’re using something Linux + Jellyfin, though. Any set top box like a Fire Stick or Chromecast will sell your data too.

There was a really interesting interview on The Verge with the CEO of Telly. Basically, TVs are so cheap now because they make all of their profit selling your data. His pitch is “why pay for a TV and then also have your data mined. They should at least give you the TV for free.”

It’s frustrating because even if we buy a “premium” devices like an LG C3 or one of the nice Samsung TVs, they’re still going to spy on us. (PiHole FTW).

I can agree with this. Or pirating old games that aren’t available through GOG, Steam, etc. Like if I want to play Battletoads, I don’t have many options…

I feel like the “pirate everything” mindset focuses on shitty corporations but ignores that paying for media also helps the creators pay their rent.

The fact that our economic system requires never-ending growth to remain solvent is so crazy to me. And somehow many of the serious economists don’t see an issue with this.

Back in 2009, we banned all flavored cigarettes, but there was a specific exception for menthol.
