  Not exactly on topic, but depending on the phone hardware, GameNative may allow to run PC games. I think, it’s worth mentioning because hardware becomes more performant, and emulation support improves over time, and I didn’t expect to be able to play something from Steam on my phone, and yet recently I started doing just that (in my case it’s Slay the Princess, the game is great, but doesn’t fit the bill of what you’re looking for)

  Having integers with amount of bits indivisible by 2, let alone 8, is a nice feature to have in a language, I deed

  I’m confused why ten is substituted with a musical instrument

  That’s a recent failure development, afaik, like when literally means figuratively

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First Satellites⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I read in another place that Japan was the fourth to launch a satellite in February of 1970, it looks like that other article means ‘launched using their own rocktet’, and Canada launched 8 years earlier than Japan using NASA rocket

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A shrubbery!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would guess by eating diary, eggs, leather, etc. I heard this take just yesterday, and I can see a point, because most animal industries don’t treat animals well even when it’s not about killing the animal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fake News⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What you’re saying is B stems from A, and A causes C therefore we can say B causes C. But it is correlation, not causation and a pretty surprising thing to say

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was the first game you ever bought ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think, it was Duke Nukem 3D, or Warcraft 2, and I’m pretty sure it was on a pirated CD of 100 in 1 games, but maybe those were later

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When people recommend Brave browser.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Mind you, I’m not arguing that was crappy, just that not any modification of links is bad

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When people recommend Brave browser.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As far as I remember, there is some browser with a feature of stripping tracking id from the URL, that is modification, but I find it good (if I can opt in, and if the feature is visible enough to know what to try if it doesn’t work)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With regards to cutlery, do you prefer a spoon or a fork for eating cake?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I half expected ‘Just like if I’m serving soup, it’s coming with a fork. I just hate spoons’

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With regards to cutlery, do you prefer a spoon or a fork for eating cake?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sporfe

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I bet they would’ve joked even more if it also included name

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Easy Delivery Co is a good one, but for me it feels like it doesn’t give you enough freedom to be that.

  But yeah, Sam Porter Bridges driving a car from Initial D on Play Station 1 is kinda what it feels like

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just one more square bro⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t even understand the point that it was a lie, and not the original comment had a lie, reading skill issue

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would say Mads Mikkelsen is a plus, but it’s terrain traversal that should define a genre.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just one more square bro⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you sure the story is real? I can find anything that points to it, so a link would help a lot

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t know, I’ve seen swans being total assholes in Finland, in Estonia, in Czechia, so maybe in Germany around Baltic shore they are also not seen as calm

  There are a lot of animals that are seen completely not how they are, based on vibes, like wise owls, or cunning snakes, etc

  I like the title of the seagull video, that’s very on point

  Ah, yeah, I thought it was if we go extinct, not if we never existed

  Are they overdue to go extinct somehow?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's a long distance relationship⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If this apparent relationship between flares and decay rates proves true, it could lead to a method of predicting solar flares prior to their occurrence

  So, can we predict the flares now? I’ve taken a look at Ephraim Fischbach’s articles and it seems that we’re very far from that, so the article you linked is interesting but overstates the facts by a lot. This is what I found the best explanation so far:

  Some experiments seem to yield strong evidence of variability of beta-decay rates, but other experiments may show little or no such evidence. Some recent experiments help clarify the situation. In particular, a certain oscillation appears in neutrino measurements made at the Super-Kamiokande Neutrino Observatory and in radon beta-decay measurements made at the Geological Survey of Israel, with identical frequency (9.43 years ⁻¹ ), amplitude and phase, strengthening the case for an influence of neutrinos on beta decays. A review of current experimental information leads us to suggest that 1) beta-decay rates do not change, but 2) the angular distribution of decay products may be anisotropic, and 3) the angular distribution of decay products may be influenced by the ambient neutrino flux. It appears that experiments at standards laboratories tend to be insensitive to direction, and this may be the reason that they tend not to exhibit evidence of variability.

  And even this I would take with a grain of salt

  The this:

  [Author] portrays Shangri-La as a mystical, harmonious valley, gently guided from a lamasery, enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains. In the novel, the people who live in Shangri-La are almost immortal, living hundreds of years beyond the normal lifespan and only very slowly ageing in appearance
