I’m pretty sure both Nebula and Floatplane look for their talents themselves, you can’t just decide to be there. And they look for something more sophisticated than a guy yelling n-word at children in a currently popular videogame.

I’m convinced that people who are fascinated by llm chatbots are those who usually aren’t better than a chatbot at whatever they do. That is to say, they can’t do shit.

Nobody’s saying that our royals are classy, except themselves, their paid weirdos, and, weirdly enough, americans.

At this point, why even have a phone? Even cheap stationary player will give much better sound quality

When everyone was talking about them paying their workers fairly, I did not expect it being 60 bucks a year. It sounds like an insult to be honest.

Fair use or something

My wife’s wired headphones are also last forever. She never listens to them while moving, only when she sits at the table and her phone lays firmly on it. If she needs to move, even in a different room she takes her headphones off, and only put them back when she is sitting firmly and the phone is stationary.

Ah, here’s your problem, you’re listening to j-pop.
Sorry, that was a bit of a mean joke, but I couldn’t resist.

I can’t wait for fucking 3.5 mm connector to finally leave our collective consciousness. It has it’s uses in analogue world, and it should stay there, or maybe go away even there and be replaced with 5mm entirely like god intended.
I hate this never working dirt accumulator and all the cable hustle associated with it.

In this case you can invest 7 bucks in a good splitter.

Not in my experience. I still use BT headphones I bought in 2019, but all the wired headphones I had before that were dying every year with the same cable problems. The only long-lived wired headphones I had were expensive Sennheisers with thick coiled cable, but those were always destroying jack port on my phone with their fat lever of a connector.
Cables just shit for mobile application, they’re always in the way, and always getting yanked around.

The audiophile community is too busy masturbating to their golden powercables

To the phone? Really, really doubt it.

Yet, buildings that are being built today don’t have it, and you need to spend a small fortune if you want to have a split system.

We are trying to build a better infrastructure, where pedestrians enjoy safe and pleasant walk, cyclist enjoy safe and pleasant ride, commuters do commute, etc. In order to achieve that, it’s important that the spaces are predictable. If you’re in a shared space, you expect a bicycle, if you’re in a pedestrian area you shouldn’t be on a lookout for fast things. Same goes the other way, if you’re on a bike in a shared space, you should expect pedestrians be everywhere and should always be on a lookout, but if you’re riding a designated bike road, you should be able to enjoy the ride, not crawling with pedestrian speed dodging around.
If this rule doesn’t work, the infrastructure doesn’t work. You can’t expect people using cycling infrastructure for commute if they can’t be sure infrastructure is usable, so they wouldn’t, so everyone is riding cars and we’re back to square one.

I had a conversation with an older dude this May. It was +30°C in Germany and Germany doesn’t really do air conditioning. The older dude, while sweating bullets, was telling me that we don’t need to do air conditioning because we rarely have high temperatures.
It was +30°C in May. It was +30°C in May for the last 10 years. I think that dude will die of heatsroke, and till his very end he will believe that nothing ever happens and things are exactly the same as they were when he was a child.

I don’t feel like I’m getting through you, but I recommend you watch this video, https://youtu.be/V-a9VDIbZCU. It’s about very related problems, and the host explains the problem I’m describing in an entertaining way with visual examples.

because of the enormous privilege I have, one so big I can’t even recognise the problems they’re facing.

Well, I don’t recognise a problem, it probably doesn’t exist then.

For a lot of people in America, a lot a lot, all those people whom I am talking about, there is no such choice.
They’re in food deserts, they’re overworked to death, they don’t have skills, they don’t have equipped kitchens, they don’t have time to cook, they don’t have energy to do it.
It’s a bootstraps problem. How can I work good job and can happily spend an evening cooking a nice meal, but half of Americans can’t? Well, obviously because they’re lazy and probably stupid. Not because of the enormous privilege I have, one so big I can’t even recognise the problems they’re facing.

I like to work from home. That’s me.

And there is, as it turns out, a lot of people like that. Doesn’t actually mean everyone is like that. But it does mean that being given this option, we, as humanity and as workers, are happier.
Your reply reminds me that “I’m not pro-life or pro-choice, I just want people to be able to chose do they want to have an abortion or not”.
