Love the CEO sketches! And they’re not even in the top five things Brennan has done, probably!

If you’re a little clever with interpolation, you don’t need to run at 1000s of frames per second! You’d just calculate how much time after the last frame it would take to cross the line at the last known speed and position.

You’re right-- I am in the States, but your input is still welcome!

I don’t have an Awesome Socks subscription, but I do have a Sun Basin Soap one with good.store! I like Daydreamer, even though it sorta reminds me of allspice (and therefore chicken).

Thanks for the input, all! I’ve had a bunch of the more ‘obvious’ ones down, but there are a few that I hadn’t heard of (like CASA and Feeding America, who I have ‘equivalents’ to but will likely diversify out to), or hadn’t thought to contribute to (Propublica, UNHCR). Good stuff, everybody.

Without substantial growth after being cut off from the activity of the fediverse, Beehaw would not be large enough to stave off serious atrophy. The lemmy/kbin end of the fediverse is already very slow to begin with.

Yeah, between the image compression and resolution, a lot of things that should be ‘gaps’ in the letters are closing up. Like, the ‘s’ in ‘psuedorandom’ or ‘set’ looks like a squished-up ‘g’.

I can read individual words as I’m looking at them, but I’ve lost the ability to scan the line and parse words in my peripheral vision.

I’ve had an impressively easy time finding particular messages as long as I had a decent idea of what servers it might have been in and at least one of the following:

• Who said it
• To whom it was said
• At least a word that was likely said

Which has been way better than most other things I’ve bothered to search through like Reddit, Beehaw, or Mastodon (especially when it was limited entirely to hashtags). Lord help me if I want to find a particular post or comment on TikTok or Youtube.

Well, I guess it’s better than trying to paywall stuff that was previously available.

Also don’t think X calls would be worth using free, let alone for a fee, so we’ll see how that goes.

Yeah no shit those metrics will skew towards Gen Z being more victimized if you’re lumping cyberbullying into the mix!

They’re high in each of those categories individually, not (just) if you add the categories together and compare the totals. Millennials are slightly higher in Romance scams and identify theft though.

BUT these numbers are also self-disclosed. I’m not sure how you’d correct for this in a survey, but I could easily believe that these two generations are simply more likely to realize they’ve been victimized, and have a higher exposure to the internet (and thus to scams).

I’d be more interested in something like a sit-down test, to be honest. It’d be easier to account for time spent online and self-awareness of victimization, and more likely to isolate “internet street smarts”, as far as I can tell.

I always sort of read those jokes as illustrative as GLaDOS being a bad person fielding weak material more than like, an earnest expression of the game writer’s values. Like, the game itself doesn’t present the remarks themselves as funny so much as GLaDOS being rude, snippy, and actively incorrect given that Chell is mega-fit.

Thanks! Yeah, it looks like it covers T-mobile minus the GHZ/ mmWave bands, which is good for me. A solid consider, especially if they (eventually) drag it over to the states like the Fairphone 5.

Their website doesn’t seem to specify which GSM bands it has (simply “More Bands and Band-Combinations for better reception”). I want to know how much of a given provider’s spectrum I’d be missing out on trying to sneak one of these to the states.

There’s an irony to comparing it to a Lovecraftian tale, considering how racist the guy was, and how his stories allegorically supported racism.

Ooh yeah. I wasn’t going to jump through that weird whitelist process to get that twitter blueblocker on Firefox for Android, but not I don’t have to!

Friend’s bookclub has been working through The Locked Tomb trilogy which has been fun (both to read and to watch other people encounter).

Outside of that, I’ve been slowly working my way through The Knot Book (about mathematical topology, not kinky stuff), a book about “The Shambhala guide to Sufism”, and “Inside Scientology”.

I’ve been going through library books trying to find something at least somewhat straightforward about the modern Sufis and their beliefs/texts/rituals, but all the books I’ve encountered so far seem to be way more concerned with the historical lens of “Westerners through the centuries trying to grapple with the concept of Sufism and disagreeing with each other about what it is”.

Ooh, nice. I hope this means Boost for Lemmy’s release isn’t that far behind!

The Pokemon go plus+ (yes it’s two pluses) is a little device, sorta like a flattened PokeBall, rather than a service.
