I could be totally wrong, but these kinds of billionaire class investments sound to me like a big money laundering scheme.

Just like “art” investment.

tungah ,

You just hit the end of the internet, my friend. And now we know what happens: it loops back to the beginning.

Congrats!

Doesn’t work anymore.

Buzzkill. Can’t imagine my phone without it.

Good.

The one on the life left is the mother. The sweetest thing in the world.

The one on the right is the daughter. She can be the devil when she wants.

They came together from the shelter.

I wouldn’t want it any other way. :)

Wasn’t figma acquired by Adobe recently? Also, refering Hitfilm Pro for people looking for an alternative for After Effects is just a joke.

Unfortunately, I still haven’t found a good substitute for AE. And believe me: I find it absolutely horrendous software and would love not to have to use it anymore. Davinci Resolve can do some of the work, but the sheer amount of assets, plugins and the whole ecosystem for AE is kind of hard to replace.

tungah ,

Well, I for sure won’t be making the same mistake.

tungah ,

How much is that in intel/AMD gigafloppers?

You must pick a point in human history before the 1950s to be spend the rest of your life in. What era and place would you choose?

You would still have the same age, gender, personality, skin color, etc. and you would be able to speak at least one local language and would know basic information of the era and place. Your family, social standing, and such would be randomly picked.

tungah ,

Having as much sex as possible with as many individuals as possible.

tungah ,

Yep. Since 1987.

Yaaarrr, matey!

Please don’t do it. You matter more than you may think. Have a great day!

At what age and how do you tell children about the truth of Christmas?

I’m writing this as someone who has mostly lived in the US and Canada. Personally, I find the whole “lying to children about Christmas” thing just a bit weird (no judgment on those who enjoy this aspect of the holiday). But because it’s completely normalized in our culture, this is something many people have to deal...

tungah ,

What truth of Christmas?

For the laptop, it already exists. Just get a used base 13" m1 macbook air and install Linux on it. Solid build. Ultra portable. Best-in-class trackpad. Good keyboard. Inexpensive-ish. More than enough performance for what you want and great battery life.

tungah ,

Get a pyhole. No more ads (or devices phoning home) in your home network.

tungah ,

Just try Linux, people. I bet at least 1/5 of you would be just fine with the change (I still have to dual boot because of work related stuff).

Ironically, Microsoft is making this the reality more so than Linux/GNU + Valve.

tungah ,

What 3rd party app would you recommend to use telegram? I’m getting really annoyed by the stories thing at the top.

tungah ,

Thanks for the heads up! Already installed Nekogram and uninstalled the default app. No stories bs anymore.

Life’s good again! 🤓

tungah ,

Don’t you need to have flash to run it or something? Is it safe to still have flash on your computer in 2023? I think I got ynab on a steam sale, but it’s been awhile since I’ve opened it. And I refuse to pay for a subscription for something that used to be perfectly fine with a one time purchase.

tungah ,

Thanks for the clarification. I’ll look into it. Ynab (without subscription) is a great app. Maybe I’ll figure some kind of containment system for the Adobe air thing just to err on the safe side. Cheers!

tungah ,

Are there even distinct groups we’re talking about anymore?

tungah ,

I think it’s vital that the community now makes the effort to recreate what was made around Unity with the voluntary support material and everything that made it a reference of approachability, over with an open source alternative that may become definitive.

Going to Unreal Engine, even though it might look like the obvious move atm, might be near sighted, and unwise.

What’s preventing this from happening again down the line with another big corporation? Monetary incentives always change.

Is it Godot? Maybe.

The community needs it’s blender, and now may be the best opportunity to do it. It’s a matter of organization and foresight. It’s been proven to be doable.

tungah ,

Are you saying there’s a relation between the use of Whatsapp and education or economic levels of a country? What are you on about?

tungah ,

This contrived correlation you’re trying to establish just doesn’t hold up to the statistics or common sense.

In every country there are individuals who value digital privacy and/or security.

The truth is, these individuals are the minority in virtually every case. The majority of the population, irregardless of overall education or social status, just doesn’t care enough to act upon the compromises necessary for a more private and secure digital life, instead opting for the more convenient way of doing things.

People in general just love having easy access to online services, and oversharing their information, either with Big Tech, or their peers over social media. That’s just human behavior.

Education could perhaps bring consciousness about this issue, but it’s most often the product of an individual concern. And this just can’t be simply related the way you’re insisting here.

There are no digital privacy/security classes in the structured general education on “more developed” countries. At least not contrasting with the lack thereof on the “least developed” countries in a statistically meaningful way.

We’re getting used to seeing the EU having to step in and legislate against or punish corporations on their abuse of customer data, just for that same legislation not to encounter an equivalent on the United States, or other “more developed” countries.

You gave the example of the coup in Mianmar, and the role of social media manipulation though fake news, and so on.

Do you really think people in Mianmar, or India are more manipulated by these apps than, say, people in the UK, Germany, or Switzerland?

Have you ever tried to talk about geopolitical events with the average Joe in Denmark? How about in the USA?

tungah ,

So, are these articles supposed to support your argument? Because they do the exact opposite.

Or have you completely missed the point?

tungah ,

Nah, you figure it out yourself.

tungah ,

Give me a modern Nokia N900 form factor and I’ll buy it in a heartbeat. Better yet if it can dual boot Android and Linux.

This would make me as happy as a kid on a Christmas morning.

tungah ,

This looks perfect! A pitty the price with the currency conversion is kinda prohibitive, but the product is just perfect. I’ll take a hard look into it. Thanks a lot for the heads up!

Unweaving the Rainbow by Richard Dawkins

The Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan and Ann Driyan

Read them when I was in my early 20s. Changed the way I see the world.

tungah ,

Definitely. As a total layman in this kind of stuff, I believe I’ve read The Selfish Gene first, but at the time I was so eager to consume as much knowledge as possible in this subject, that I could maybe be misremembering all the effort and research it took for me to understand it. It’s a fascinating book, but more specific.

Imo, Unweaving the Rainbow has a much broader appeal and is much easier reading. They’re both very different books.

tungah ,

Don’t be a cunt.

tungah ,

All these decisions from this guy as head of Twitter really put those videos of SpaceX rocket explosions into a new perspective.

tungah ,

It’s the 70s all over again.

Once we can get brain-device-interfaces implanted into us in order to sort of link our brains with a computer/phone, we probably won't get that information as pictures appearing in front of our eyes.

The information would probably be delivered raw into our minds. We’d just know what time it is, what the weather will be, who’s calling us and what the news are saying, without having to process the information.

tungah ,

Yes. Put the ads directly into my subconscious. Lovely idea!

tungah ,

No. Let them ask their pals at the CIA for some money. They’ve got plenty.
