Black Panther.
It had so much hype in the media, i was so excited to watch it. It turned out to be rather boring and forgettable.
I’ll believe AI can replace engineers when I see NVIDIA firing them. But like the graphic says, the manager’s job seems a lot easier to replace instead.
How about: I’m sorry to hear that, are you holding up ok?
I liked Rogue One too. It had some weight. That Darth Vader close up fight scene at the end was the first time I recognised him as a terrifying force and not a cartoonish bad guy.
‘the Voices in the pipe’ is horror in 5 words.
At least the Sphinx was a credible threat.
The problem is that most of us have swallowed the ‘competence uber alles’ ideal that school fed us through exams and scoring, when the game really is mostly politics (as in interpersonal relationships). So we are understandably disappointed when the incompetent get promoted through brown nosing or luck, when we should be reevaluating the rules of the game.
Yes, some people will literally waste 100x more resources, in mental energy and time, than the price of admission to complain.
But my point was that this type of criticism can be ignored - if you get 1000 sales and 2 people turn out to be dickheads you shove them in the (mental) bin.
I hope this is clever marketing from the developer because I had never heard of this game until now and also because I can’t for the life of me figure out why anyone would abuse an indie developer for $2.
I understand some people might do that, but they’d have to be a tiny percentage.
The thing with thoughts and feelings is that they can be investigated by other thoughts, and the more you dispassionately investigate them the more you create distance between consciousness and this or that thought, and the more distance you have the less likely you’re to be swept into them and more likely to regain your footing faster if you are.
Since you gave advice on the battery and fuel:
Tyres go bad through the vehicle’s weight, so either raise the vehicle enough so they don’t touch the ground, or remove wheels and put it on stands.
Once you make sure the car is secure release the handbrake so it’s not engaged for a long period to prevent it from fusing.
Clean thoroughly inside and out to make sure dirt doesn’t adhere to paint or seats, that no food is left inside the cabin that can go bad and smells that can embed themselves in the seat foam etc.
Cover with a car cover to protect seals, paint, seats from the elements.
Reading “at Bluesky” in every second sentence gave me futuristic dystopian movie vibes.
Not sure about fediverse following along given that, essentially, creating an account on a server is adopting the server admin’s moderation policy.
Having said that, there might be some value in being able to overlay multiple moderation filters - though not sure at what point you create such a siloed experience as to be a net negative.
Only if you let them
Have you heard of virtual debit cards? You can’t charge what’s not there.
Also, at least AWS will in fact send you an email when you approach the end of free tour usage.
Having said all that, most devs can host the few hundred visits they might get over a month with a $200 home server and a free CloudFlare cache if they know what they’re doing.
Maybe some of that but my sense is that given how prescient FB has been on buying companies that grew to become staples, like WhatsApp and Instagram I would say what they’re seeing here is something like the future of social media - even if tiny.
Unfortunately they can’t buy it, but they can do the next best thing: position themselves to take advantage of it, while in its infancy, and if possible control it while they can still throw their weight about before it takes off independently.
Why, now is as good a time as any to repay some technical debt and get sidetracked into refactoring that code that’s been bothering you.
I was there the first time. It feels different now - people are contributing and having discussions. Certainly a better quality of discourse than any other social media I’ve used.

Thanks for the trip. Any recommendations for best value for money hardware?
