Reply to comment by oolong in romanticizing lesbians the way people romanticize gay men. romanticizing gay men the way people romanticize lesbians. "genius of the year" by twovests
been trying to think of any romanticization of nonbinary people, or how one would, and my thesis is that romanticization is all about gender roles, and nonbinary people generally don't embrace those
but then i learned popeye the sailor is canonically nonbinary

Yeah, I thought Musk was one of the cool billionaires who did fun things. I wasn't cognizant enough to understand how harmful the hyperloop thing was.

Shortly before that, I was working in autonomous vehicle research. His "Tesla's are now fully self driving" complete lie was so disastrous for the field.
It made it hard to sell "AV is a solvable problem but we still need to research it, and research what we can do in a post-AV world". His cars didn't even use LIDAR!

While that's the big appeal with Linux, you can do this natively in MacOS's terminal, and with only a little bit of extra pain in Powershell on Windows :^)
That said, "terminal works good" is one of the big Linux > MacOS >>> Windows thing. Now you can write down that ffmpeg
command you did and save it in a grimoire for future use! :D

Reply to comment by missingno in Three handheld consoles, one review so far by twovests
I'm feeling similarly. I want these GameBoy shaped devices to target up to the PS1 (2D games, at least, like SotN), and then maybe a SteamDeck or similar device.
As an update, I got my RG35XX+ working again. Not sure why, but I might have re-flashed the firmware incorrectly. So, it's back in the running.

Miyoo Mini Plus review:
It has four shoulder buttons but they are difficult to use in its form factor, and the one speaker is covered during normal play.

everyone laughed at me when i said i had an idea for interactive visualization tools which work up to 5 spatial dimensions :(
that would have been great for manifold learning, because usually you only work with 2 or 3 spaces.
if the true shape of something is 10 dimensional or less, you can explore that by umap'ing it to 5 dimensions or less
alas

Reply to comment by flabberghaster in Is this a new speech construction? It feels off to me. But I keep hearing it especially in the last couple of years. by flabberghaster
So I don't know grammar good enough to know what a clause is, and I grew up where people didn't always speak "standard" english in the first place, so grain of salt, but it sounds fine to me.
I'd say "where we know them from" but that only sounds a smidge more standard

i'm picturing more of an "facebook and discord are down forever? okay, i don'y need a router"
russia and china and iran all have different examples and degrees of separation from the rest of the internet. the UK is trying to backdoor encryption in a way which will force companies to choose to compromise or leave.
in the US, we have differing censorship laws fracturing the internet across different states, and the legal framework and precedent for banning apps.
we also have undersea cables being cut, which is very new i think (november and december 2024.
i'm imagining what might happen if we have a few "we bombed us-east-1" or "texas is doing ercot but for internet" incidents in the span of a year. but it's not something worth time worrying about yet i think

i appreciate you sharing this experience!! i have been considering doing something similar with openwrt. does working on the pi offer you any automation / relief from the openwrt woes you had on the old router? and why did you choose a compute module?
