- Comment on Never Forget 6 days ago:
It’s a consequence of our “growth at all costs” take on capitalism. Capitalism is only livable for the average person when it’s kept in check by a strong government and corruption is vigorously prosecuted. We’ve decided that corruption just happens and there’s nothing we can do about it, and so there are no disincentives to corrupting government.

I’m actually in favor of this one, it solves a bunch of the problems that have been leading mfgrs to solder memory directly to mainboards.

It’s also worth getting them checked out by a gastroenterologist. Sometimes picky eating is a subconscious thing to avoid having the shits all the time.

Edit: get Elon Musk on the phone, he’s deranged enough to spend that much money on something like this while ignoring the ethical and moral implications /s
You joke but he’d probably traumatized a synthetic intelligence enough that it’d think 4chan user behavior is the baseline human standard
- Comment on Calculus made easy 2 weeks ago:
My intro to calculus came in the form of a battered copy of a 1979 historical calculus textbook by W.M. Priestley, it was significantly easier to understand than any of the usual intro to calculus textbooks that I’ve seen.

Worth tracking down a copy if you’re planning to learn calculus, mine saw me through undergrad calc handily.

Contact your state health/medical ombudsman and or AG. States come down hard on companies that have patterns of behavior like this.

- Comment on What fun things can I do with an M.2 SSD and 2x4GB ram? 4 months ago:
The SSD you can use on its own, go buy an RTL9210B USB enclosure and you’ve got a nice and fast portable flash drive. I bought a handful of all metal 9210 enclosures on AliExpress for like $10/ea.
Sell the ram for fun money, there’s nothing you can do with it on its own.

I’ve used a Boox Nova Air for the last ~2½ years without issues. I bought it to use as a fast ~8in KOReader platform and it’s great for that purpose. I can’t speak about reliability issues as I haven’t had any.
After sale support seems kind of crummy so I’d buy using a credit card that offers a 1 or 2y warranty of its own as part of your card agreement.
The devices that seem to have the most problems with displays cracking are the 10 and 13in models, they seem like they’re significantly more fragile than a standard phone or tablet.

Shout out to the PPSSPP folks, I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of FFT WotL and Tactics Ogre on my android tablet.
- Comment on Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore? 6 months ago:
I wouldn’t worry about it unless you’re already having similar issues. If you drink a cup of coffee and get suddenly tired, congested or physically sore then I’d bring it up with your doctor. This didn’t start happening to me until my late 30s, and only when I drink particularly high histamine coffees, I don’t think it’s a common reaction.
Antihistamines help a little but I usually have to reach for something like Benadryl which leaves me exhausted (not usually what I want after a coffee) so I’ve just gravitated to safer coffees. High doses of DAO enzyme seem to do a slightly better job but I’d rather just avoid the attack in the first place when possible.
Again, it’s probably not something you need to worry about unless you start having histamine reactions to tea, coffee or chocolate. I’m just particularly sensitive to all of them.
- Comment on The picture isn't even of my yard 6 months ago:
You’re not wrong. Personally I take a backup of the drive in its factory state and then install Linux - I’m over Windows in general.
- Comment on The picture isn't even of my yard 6 months ago:
Lots of OEMs now ship Dolby software and drivers preinstalled but without download packages available so you can’t do a clean install without losing features you paid for. ASUS is guilty of this one as well as having other software tied to the factory install ID. It’s always a good idea to take a factory condition backup or the machine before paving it over with a clean windows install.
- Comment on GameStop’s definition of “New” 6 months ago:
So if you can’t buy them directly from Nintendo you’re shit outta luck cuz good luck finding anyone that sells them for retail price.
This is par for the course for basically any physical Nintendo product. Ninty is categorically allergic to manufacturing enough supply to satisfy demand and the resellers figured this out about 10-15y ago. Any limited production run product is almost immediately bought out on Amazon and the other big retailers websites and relisted at a markup on Amazon/eBay. If resellers smell blood in the water around a manufacturing run of a popular game (ie: Nintendo is close to selling through the available physical cartridge supply) they’ll buy that up too. Nintendo would rather their products be unavailable for however long it takes them to decide to manufacture more (usually somewhere between two and six months) than have excess stock on hand.

I mean, GameStop’s entire business model is that they’re a chain of predatory pawnshops that prey on children so I’m not terribly surprised.
- Comment on Britain Is Building A Massive New Super Mine That Nobody Has Heard Of | The Impossible Build (8:41) 6 months ago:
Thanks for the heads up. I skipped the video and just googled the project, it actually sounds pretty cool. 1.6km deep bore with all of the head works hidden ~45m below ground, you can’t see any of the mine beyond a farm building from nearby on the surface.
- Comment on Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore? 6 months ago:
It’s a me thing but it’s fairly common in Europe as well. I’ve had histamine issues since my 20s but they got much worse in my late 30s so I’m careful about which coffees I drink now. Chocolate gets me too so I don’t eat much of it anymore. Both reactions are much worse during allergy season when my histamine is already high, during the winter I tolerate both much better.

Try Korean instant coffee, it’s about the best I’ve had. Check the ingredients carefully if you have food sensitivities, there’s often surprise 🌽 in the creamer and sometimes corn syrup powder as sweetener.
- Comment on Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore? 6 months ago:
I did the same for a long time. Now I find the histamine bomb from instant coffee just makes me feel terrible so I grind coffee with a hand mill and use an aeropress if I’m making a cup in the middle of the night.
- Comment on Reading different languages 6 months ago:
Have you played with basic layout like line spacing, left justified vs full justification, increased spacing between paragraphs etc? There’s pretty good data that all of those increase readability and reading speed by giving you more features on the page to anchor on.
I’m not visually impaired (not more than the average for my age anyway) but I saw a significant reading speed and comfort increase when I implemented all of those recommendations alongside a comfortably readable font. I imagine they’d work well with Open Dyslexic or a hyperlegible font too.

If you’re on mobile the GitHub android app makes a handy browser. I have no problem grabbing releases with it on my phone and tablet.
- Comment on How do you get an executable from a GitHub link? 6 months ago:
Projects don’t always provide pre built binaries. Some do, some don’t. Check the “Releases” page for the project and see if there’s an executable provided, otherwise you’ll need to build the project yourself or find someone who has.
