Not even very surprising. The dark and/or broody scenes tend to be a lot less serious than they look. To give an example I saw: At last year’s Wave Gotik Treffen (a huge goth event) there were plenty of posters for broody bands – and in between them there was one for the German Hevisaurus spinoff advertising their new song about bubblegum.
And then someone went around and put googly eyes on all the posters. That’s also pretty on-brand for the scene.
True. It’s just the automated transfer that doesn’t work.
I didn’t bring up F-Droid’s very existence as an argument because iOS also allows a form of sideloading these days. Android still makes it a lot easier but Apple isn’t entirely out of the loop anymore. Baby steps, I guess.
I’m the spirit of fairness I will nitpick you.
Firstly, porting apps over between Android devices works seamlessly only if those apps come from the Play Store. Android has no provisions for auto-transferring e.g. F-Droid and its apps. So it’s no wonder you can’t transfer your iOS apps (which might not even have Android versions). But it is true that auto-transfers of Play Store apps between different Android spins is seamless.
Secondly, whether and how easily you can modify or replace your Android is dependent on the phone’s manufacturer. A Pixel is a very different beast from an Xperia in that regard. Still, Google do provide AOSP and are very mod-friendly on their own devices. Apple very much aren’t.
Soon they will launch their new product, Copy of New Teams Classic (work or school) (2).
You can get it in Germany but typically only in import candy stores. While I don’t mind the flavor it’s generally considered too sweet by people who try it.
Depends on the tea. An East Frisian blend, for instance, is intended to be drank with some rock sugar – not a mountain of it, of course, but the sugar is an integral part of the beverage.
Can’t confirm. My default browser and web view are Firefox on both Sony and Samsung devices.
That name was legitimately chosen in my mid-teens for a short-lived troll account. I wanted something that sounded controversial without actually making a statement.
Then I realized that my old username sucked and just stuck with it.
40 yo you embracing the name again because you realized that agonizing over what random people think about a perfectly fine username isn’t worth your time.
(I could’ve made a picture here but I’m also not agonizing over what random people think about my laziness.)
People are using their smartphones instead of their PCs. That hurts sales. So PCs need to behave more like smartphones, e.g. by being able to notify you of new messages at all times. Then people will surely ditch their smartphones again and buy laptops.
Intel, Microsoft et al never considered that that’s fundamentally not how PCs should work.
Iirc Basic was the first, non-scientist friendly programming language.
COBOL predates it, having first been introduced in 1959. BASIC came about in 1963.
Not to be confused with the Wehrwolf, which fights back fiercely, and the Wärwolf, which would but isn’t. The Werfwolf, while very throwable, is right out.
Good point. I should really put on some Casiopea.
The Pandora was pretty cool even if it took so long to get manufactured that the SoC was outdated by the time I got mine. I do have vivid memories of playing Kolf on it during a long and boring speech.
Same here. There’s really no reason why I should have to throw away the whole machine if the keyboard goes marginal after a few years or I decide I want a faster CPU.
By the end of the year Steve Wozniak will be the CEO of Microsoft, YouTube will no longer allow videos in French, and the UN will recognize Mastodon as a weapon of war after it’s somehow the deciding factor in Ukraine. And then in 2024 the weird stuff will happen
And also ells, rods, cubits, paces, furlongs, oxgangs, lots, batmans… all with subtly different regional definitions (with regions sometimes as small as one village).
People used loosely defined measurements based on things like their own body parts or how much land they guessed their ox could plow on an average day. Things like mathematical convenience or precision were not all that important; being able to measure (or estimate) without tools was.
