Kindly reply with pleasing images of other ancient beasts.
Hell yeah, proper xwayland scaling, if experimental. The file dialog update looks like a relief too.

Yeah, I didn't get them either until using one and realizing conceptually they're more like a trackball.
I think the Deck's killer feature is really just having a library already ready to go when you buy it. Compare this to having to rebuy duckhunt wrapped in an emulator again on the Switch, or whatever.
The touchpads are such a nice controller innovation too.
Are these the same casings that would have been left behind when Hitler offed himself?
Milei aside, watching these forest fires grow...

across my lifetime has doomed me out. There was some tipping point when I realized every summer of my life is now covered in smoke, and it never really was when I was a kid.
I moved away from the worst of it, only to have it blow in eventually even here. The locals were like "this is the first we've ever seen anything like this," and I'm just thinking "prepare yourself."
I'm surprised this doesn't cause more of a eco panic reaction in more people, because it's really unsettling when the air smells like fire.
Spoilered for bad vibes.

Absolutely. This hooked into preexisting urban legends. I heard this stuff over and over growing up. A pet never just runs away in the suburbs, it's always poisoned by dark forces, captured for food, or stolen for fights.
It's a continuation of the maga strategy has been hooking into these types of conspiratorial trends that were previously not tapped as voting blocks. They're called "fringe groups" or "fringe ideas" a lot but they're not really fringe, just unorganized and untapped.
besides piracy, it's so convenient having your whole library with you. Get bored with something on the train? You don't have to wait to get home to switch. I do like a dedicated device for books though, for focus reasons.
Someone woke me up to tell me a plane hit the tower, and I thought they meant a little prop plane and went back to bed. Then I woke up just in time to see the first tower fall.
My first reaction was the sinking feeling that this would be the ammunition to steer us into fascism.
I remember people not being able to contextualize the targets at all. People would be afraid whatever pissant thing they cared about was going to be attacked, the mall, the methadone clinic, the stadium.
The bloodlust was crazy. You couldn't get through to anyone. I know this is about 9/11 but, like the whole Iraq thing in the aftermath felt so much like Gaza today where you're just trying to scream and no one cares.
It looks like a ship design in Elite Dangerous

Youtube has been serving me videos of these gadgets that are like "personal AI assistants" for people who want to carry around an extra device that is just chatGPT with a voice prompt. It's a super weird niche because we already have phones that do the same thing. It just seems like maybe they're just kickstarter scams for gadget nerds who are bricked up over AI.
Anyways, every time I see one of these things, my cursed brain goes immediately to "god, what if I was dating someone and they had just gotten this thing after having preordered the kickstarter 6 months ago. Now they're trying to find every possible excuse to use it in order to justify getting it."
We're at a restaurant and he's like, "what are the best qualities in a carbonara," or whatever.
Please help me escape this mental prison. Why am I doing this to myself?
Edit: this is probably the wrong thing to focus on, but I'm increasingly upset they didn't do the alpha transparency right on their profile pic. It's 2024 ffs. More evidence this is boomer fueled.

Idk, i use blue blocker but still get channer nword memes in my replies even when i was just posting about something as innocuous as a grocery store chain.
I've been spending more time here and tiktok and less there with the aim of eventually being off X (the everything app) entirely. I basically try to only go there to see reactions to breaking stories since other platforms move slower.
Any of the 1:1 twitter clones are too dead to spend much time on, like you scroll down just a bit and it's 4d old posts. I don't think we'll ever get something like twitter back because it was basically an accident.
