The shore is cool, but dry. Back into the comforting murk.

Check out Termux’s GitHub. I would link the issue but not sure if linking is allowed. You’ll find that the Play Store build is currently broken, but the F-Droid (alternative FOSS software store) build works fine.

ArcticAmphibian ,

Cool idea, but hooking your arm through it looks like a great way to break said arm if you stop fast.

ArcticAmphibian ,

I ride Atlanta’s MARTA for my daily commute. There’s a few stops that will spill inexperienced riders to the floor they’re so fast.

ArcticAmphibian ,

VLC is always respectable. I’ve been using AIMP. It lets you import folders as playlists and there’s not an ad in sight, so it won me over.

ArcticAmphibian ,

Nope. Google trained the model it’s using for search results off of Reddit, etc. junk data and expected it to be coherent.

ArcticAmphibian ,

Why not something else free? Geany, etc.?

I need to wake up early (lemmy.world)

All the vibrating alarm clocks I could find do not sync with your phone, and have to be set manually. I thought about getting an Arduino, but then I will have to build the whole thing by myself. The only logical conclusion I could come up with is to get a programable vibrator. But most of them are either very expensive of look...

ArcticAmphibian ,

Or an Amazfit band (Mi band but the more western-sold version). The Band 5 is pretty cheap and has a decent buzzer.

Palpatine kinda DID end the voting system (analogue to parliamentary democracy):

“The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I’ve just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away.” -Grand Moff Tarkin

So, in other words, the two are more alike than is initially obvious.

ArcticAmphibian ,

If a fan falls in a closed room but nobody is around to hear it, did it make a sound?

ArcticAmphibian ,

I may not like him, but if it’s a franchise instead of direct-owned (varies by store), nothing (money-wise) is making it all the way up to him.

ArcticAmphibian ,

The purpose is to attract them to businesses. The elderly are least likely to spontaneously decide to go out.

ArcticAmphibian ,

Don’t move to the American Southeast. Look up palmetto bugs.

Time for SDI: Part 2 (mostly kidding)

For the young and unaware: …m.wikipedia.org/…/Strategic_Defense_Initiative

ArcticAmphibian ,

You’re totally right - SDI wasn’t nukes in space. Just pointing out the similarities in concept and reaction:

  • Threaten to put advanced military tech and/or weapons of some sort in space.
  • Reveal very little about what is actually being currently done and what is just plans/theory.
  • (to be seen) Use it as a negotiation tool for favorable arms-reduction or other treaties.
ArcticAmphibian ,

Nope. 1 BC/BCE -> 1 AD/CE. That’s just how it was designed.

ArcticAmphibian ,

Almost. The first recorded use of ‘Zero’ was in Mesopotamia in 3BC/BCE. www.history.com/news/who-invented-the-zero

ArcticAmphibian ,

Oh, nice. Going the way of Silent Spring.

Nowhere in the US Flag Code does it say to burn the flag if it touches the ground. The code says separately that you shouldn’t let it touch the ground, and that if it is too damaged for display it is to be disposed of by burning. Not that accidentally touching the ground automatically necessitates burning.

ArcticAmphibian ,

Ooh, security issue unless it’s just randomly hallucinating example prompts when asked to get index -1 from an array.

ArcticAmphibian ,

Fascinating. Try asking what the previous prompt’s user’s username was.

ArcticAmphibian ,

He’s saying that HISTORICALLY women were viewed as such. That’s his guess at what logic prehistoric humans went through, not his own.

ArcticAmphibian ,

If you want something very cheap, Amazfit is pretty good. No subscription models like Fitbit to access basic data, and 3rd party faces/apps are pretty easy.

#!/bin/bash
echo “He had to emphasize whose head it was.”

ArcticAmphibian ,

Yes. It’s a joke. But it is a special type of cardboard-like paper that they use, which is crappy to save money.

You have to say you use Vim then actually use Nano. That’s the Linux way.

ArcticAmphibian ,

It’s 2 years of FEATURE updates, usually longer for security.

ArcticAmphibian ,

Waffle House is a cheap American food chain that can be found in all southeastern areas, including low-income high-crime districts. Because of this, there are regularly news stories about people fighting at or in a waffle house. It’s become a meme.

ArcticAmphibian ,

I’d say keep it basic with Ubuntu. It’s not exciting, but it ‘just works’ out of the box and there’s TONs of support if you can’t figure something out.

ArcticAmphibian ,

French philosophy is also responsible for our country’s system of government. Montisquieu argued for separation of powers, natural (inalienable) rights and the right to revolution comes from Locke, the social contract with individual liberties comes from Rousseau. Our constitution is a bunch of French philosophy shoved together into a very (for the time) unique Enlightenment-based government.

When Java was made, nobody guessed that a phone or console would ever be as powerful as a PC. “Everywhere” really meant “Everywhere powerful enough (just PCs).”

Could MC Java be ported to a phone? Yes, but C++ is just so much more efficient for a small device.

ArcticAmphibian ,

6a/7a is pretty small. ASUS zenfone is smallest.

Ublock Origin users: purge cache and update. A fix has been deployed.

Purge cache and update Ublock Origin

ArcticAmphibian ,

There’s a reason it did. Those fires were propelled by incredibly fast winds, and spread much faster than emergency services anticipated. It basically jumped 70 miles over the course of an hour.

M*A*S*H in space?

I know a strictly military-focused show goes against Roddenberry’s vision, but what are the chances that we could see some sort of war-focused Trek in the future? The scenes in “Under the Cloak of War” (SNW 2x08… yes I’m a few weeks behind) fascinated me. What would a MAS*H-style show look like in Trek? Could the show...

ArcticAmphibian ,

The difficult thing about planet-side battles in Star Trek is the phasers. When one is hit with a phaser on high power, there is nothing left worth saving by a medic. Weapons in Trek are too efficient to make surface war particularly entertaining.

ArcticAmphibian ,

The amount of cholesterol in this meal is disturbing.

ArcticAmphibian ,

Idiots clearly aren’t protected against ∆P.

ArcticAmphibian ,

Change in pressure. Those pipes are not as high-pressure as the surrounding ocean, so they risk being sucked into the pipes by the pressure imbalance.

ArcticAmphibian , (edited )

Then they should still be wearing safety equipment.

ArcticAmphibian ,

Idk man I just wanted to make a joke about ∆P 😓
