There’s been a couple documentaries on these schools. It takes students who have been through these programs literal years of dedication to make action happen. And this is with all sorts of evidence.

If you want a first-hand account of the full experience of a student, along with what they had to go through to get action taken (including being chased out of the country!), you can go to elan.school

The people behind these schools have mafia levels of power and will literally disappear students back into their schools. If you’re not a previous student, you might have better ability to approach the situation since they don’t know you, but just be careful.

I guess I have to put my foot in my mouth over a comment I made a month or so back. I had said an XBOX handheld would sell out against the Steam Deck simply due to brand recognition.

This was of course before I thought they’d be dumb enough to make a console twice as expensive aimed at the mass market. If this was targeted at the same price as the Deck, they might have had a chance.

I don’t know anyone that would consider one of these now.

This is not far off from the color I want to get mine done in. I’ve always thought the NB was the sexiest generation.

First answer: yes

Second answer: is that profitable?

Kinda wish we could see a demonstration. This sounds both terrifying and fascinating. Wonder what caused it.

I saw this from the moment BlueSky was trying to advertise itself as Twitter 2. Single point of ownership means it will definitely come to be locked down over time because server cost and administration will always be a problem.

I love memes like this where the picture seemingly has nothing to do with the text

You Oughtta Look Out

This is the first time I’ve heard his voice and he sounds… human. Aside from Bernie, most every other politician I’ve heard in recent years sound rehearsed, even when they’re not, and they sound so unnatural for it. I wouldn’t want to be caught in an elevator with them mostly for fear of conversation.

But this guy is someone you’d excitedly hope finds a reason to strike up a conversation with you. He has true motive in his voice and I’m excited for him.

Big Time conspiracy. I love it.

Fellow IM enjoyer in the wild! 🍄

Pure ear candy

I work in a design industry that requires a lot of source files so I end up having to constantly switch. Lists when I’m looking for the relevant folder, or looking for a particular file based on name, or icons if I’m looking for something based on image. There’s no consistent way to switch between them with a keyboard shortcut among different OSs, either.

I agree that listening in public is a crime.

On a side note, if anyone here has heard some of the latest gen iPhones, they honestly sound dramatically better than the vast majority of Bluetooth speakers, especially when held sideways for stereo. At medium volume with my eyes closed, it sounds comparable to my MacBook speakers. I’m seriously shocked at whatever magic Apple is pulling off there.

Obviously neither compare to an audiophile setup, but they’re far above listenable.

I’ve not yet heard an Android compare personally, but I’d love to be proven wrong.

I’m the Supervisor - Infected Mushroom

I honestly recommend everything from them if you’re looking for unique sound. The He.art album by Astrix also has some weird.

Enigma also has some great soundscapes. My personal favorite album is MCMX A.D.

G-Dang it! I normally have no filter for profanity, so people always laugh when I use it. I stole it from the Neature Walk series on YouTube.

And that’s why so many core Linux utilities have worked almost exactly as they did from the very beginning. If your input and output demand no changes, the only improvements left to make are performance.

Not today probably, but at any time during the years when no one else had to rely on me for the necessities of life I might have.

I’m in this same position. It’s by design that we feel trapped by our jobs unable to speak freely. Wild how that 1st Amendment is doing zero work for us right now.

But that’s exactly what an encyclopedia is. The internet isn’t Wikipedia. The real difference was that the library was now in your living room. You didn’t have to hope they had the material on hand and wait weeks for something specific if they didn’t have it already on hand.

There’s also just the idea that, with a library, you already have to have an idea of what to look for. You’re always browsing by genre in an alphabetical, organized fashion. With the internet, it could become discovery-based. One link could lead you to 13 others and those all branched again. You never knew what to expect.

A book contains either one really clear idea, or a reference with no substance to a bunch of random stuff.
