True, but I was just getting over how ugly it is… Now they want us to go through the agony again.

I feel like it’s some kind of a conspiracy to tire out the community developers so they don’t have a time to bring the quality of life upgrades in custom android distributions anymore. Or I just became too old to to adapt to the pace of life itself. idk…

edit: on the second look it’s not actually that much of a change. I think the wallpaper choice has made it more ugly then necessary.

If nothing else, bitcoin has made me aware of how bad the tech journalism is in general.

Go reasonably deep into something, anything, and than read a news article about it. Sobering experience.

Still peanuts compared to Parlor 6 - 2450€ for a diy kit, 3690 € for the assembled thing.

I see the price as $21.91 in the search result page. After clicking on it, it returns error 403.

I was just about to shit on the article without reading it (as is tradition), but it’s an absolute blast. You really can’t unsee it. The Electrolux especially will never be the same to me.

Skip the gradient - flat design still works

Except for this. No. The flat design was an awkward phase we silently suffered through. Don’t confuse the lack of rebelion or some kind of catharsis for the acceptance. We just wanted the suffering to stop without reliving the trauma.

land is still within the borders of a country unless they are on some unclaimed island somewhere

There will always be a bigger bully laying claim on any interesting piece of land. See the conflicts in Ukraine, Myanmar, Sudan, Taiwan, Palestine… It doesn’t mean their claim has any moral basis.

only if they totally forfeit the right to any services, privileges, etc.

Fully agree. Right after the governments gives up their monopoly on certain services, and stop cheating the market by nationalizing the land for certain kinds of projects. It’s hard to compete with an entity that can just steal the land and negotiate the price later.

Be careful. Having ownership of your resources allows you to take your stuff, or sell it, and try something else somwhere else. If all the resources are communal, it is harder to escape if the things go south. One of the reasons why is it difficult to leave certain kind of cults.

Well, technically speaking, if you publish all the private information upfront, it can’t “leak”, but…

Well, this is exactly the kind of question one asks if one wants to get lectured about multiple ways they’re wrong by the graphene developers.

In other words, no. It isn’t :)

Was this launch special in any way? I had no idea these effects are observable from this side of the planet.

Bad bot!

Few things on this planet scare me as much as misfolded prions. Disgusting freaks of nature, turning organisms into living evil paperclip factories!

Multiple good hypotheses here. I’d like to add my own. The governments can be viewed as a modern iterations of religious cults, and there is no bigger taboo in a religious organization than questioning the basic dogma.

Try to question democracy in a democratic republic and you immediately get the weird looks, and irrational dismissal. 9 times out of 10 this self preservation instinct is good and beneficial to everyone involved, because giving a benefit of doubt to closeted authoritarians would be a mistake. That one time somebody really wants to have an honest discussion, it simply sucks.

If it does not help, try limiting the maximum number of active connections in qbittorrent.

The pose, the blue robe… What is Homelander doing… The who? Mexican president?

You won’t believe what happened next!

16 wind turbines? This is ridiculous, considering all of their solar plants can be remotely disabled using a set of 6 radios, destabilizing the whole european power grid in a snap.

Yes. Because the value if everything is relative.
