I highly recommend Living Skyrim. It takes around 300gb storage but it’s absolutely worth it.

It’s okay. I played Borderlands 3 with voices off, only sfx/background sounds/music. I’m sure I can do the same with this. Maybe turn picture off too while I’m at it.

Let’s hope it isn’t. Even though civ 6 had multiple interesting aspects and in certain ways it was objectively better than 5, I just could not look past the ugly presentation.

I recently switched over my ARR stack to only use usenet. Working well now but you really need a good indexer. The public ones are just not quite good enough.

Funnily enough Pornhub became kinda shit these last few years. Not because of overbearing advertising but because they periodically delete large amounts of their content, I think to appease payment providers. Kinda like the dmca takedowns on YouTube but much worse.

There is definitely a buzz, the SPT (single player Tarkov mod) servers have been constantly overloaded for days now

Jesus, that’s like a month’s rent in some places. What do you get out of it in return?

Let’s see.

• We’ll probably be up to the iPhone 22 but I doubt that’s what they’ll call it.
• We will have missed the majority of the global warming deadlines to transition to greener energy by 2030 with most companies pushing out their timeliness to 2050.
• The buzz around AI will have died down a bit but the technology will have found its niche and been adopted both as a useful tool and the next step of enshittification against users.
• The SpaceX Mars mission will still be nowhere to be found
• The first $10 trillion+ market cap company will exist by then
• There will be some other, different conflict in the middle-east
• The invasion of Taiwan will have either already been attempted or China gives up on it and decides to focus on building their own fabs
• Putin is still in control of Russia but extremely rarely seen outside of his bunker. Thee are many conspiracies that he is dead and has been replaced by a double
• The war in Ukraine has stalled with neither party being able to achieve complete victory. There is an armistice in place but not a proper peace accord
• The price of food has almost doubled again compared to today but wages only increased by 60%
• There is an even higher social tension between the left and right but people are unwilling to try to break out of the two party system
• Lemmy has 2-3 x users compared to today but is still a niche platform

There is nothing inherently wrong about food pictures but I feel like it is a symptom of the focus shifting from trying to take quality pictures to showing off a nice dinner/vacation/car you had to your “friend” group.

There is a thin line between look at this cool thing and look at how much better my life is then yours. I kinda have a distaste for the second one. (That said I take food pictures all the time but mostly of stuff I made myself, though I don’t post it to social media)

I remember Instagram when it was new. It was an actually photography app. Of course it had the edgy filters (which ~15 year old me made full use of). But the pictures people posted actually had a bit of effort behind them.

Then it started becoming another mainstream social media where most pictures were about people’s lunches. I didn’t stick around for it’s final phase of business ads and thots.

I think it lost the cool factor by the time FB bought it but maybe it would’ve taken longer to become as ad-infested as it is today

Features out the wazoo and an insane amount of customisation available to the user via Goodlock, but also some quirks.

Here are my highlights: limit charge to 80% to conserve battery health; custom shortcuts when dragging from the side of the phone based on the angle of your swipe; not sure what app just woke the screen or sent a notification that disappeared? You can get a log of all of these activities; add a dedicated 2x crop button to the camera app; send audio from different apps to different sound outputs simultaneously; a whole stack of s-pen features ranging from useful to very niche (quick lock screen note, screen crop, use pen as camera shutter); and many more.

There are some annoyances also: you can’t have an infinite scrolling app drawer, it has to have pages; using icon packs from the play store is annoying and the Samsung theme store sucks.

Overall I like one UI 6 but there is always some room for improvement.

Low key I’ve been checking in on Fallout London every now and then. I have no expectations, as these projects seem to fail most of the time before thay can even release, but if they actually manage to finish it, I’ll definitely play it. Another one in keeping on my radar is Morrowind in Skyrim, that one is in a much earlier stage though.

I’m also game if it’s a new game

Powersnake 🐍

The call it ‘Le Earth’ in paris

Thanks! I went back and eventually found the settings for them. You can even configure the length of the haptic feedback which is great.

I’m also a Swiftkey holdover, trying Heliboard now…

Is there a keyboard that can do haptic feedback while typing and enable multiple languages at the same time? These two features are really missing for me.

In addition to what others said about weight, training, the logistics of moving that many people at once, and other common sense problems; the most times (~80%) something goes wrong with airplanes is during takeoff or landing where you couldn’t feasably safely jump out of the plane anyway reducing their effectiveness even further.

Who are you comparing him to specifically?

I’m using the Sony Linkbuds S at the moment. Very good ANC, comparable to the Airpods Pro Gen 1 I used before but it has much better fit. The airpods I’d have to adjust every few minutes so they don’t fall out but the Linkbuds are tiny and might be even lighter so they have been rock solid.

Audio quality is also very good (as good as one can expect from this form factor). I haven’t done any A - B listening with the Airpods Pro, as mine died, but it definitely doesn’t feel like a downgrade. Base to me feels punchy and the highs don’t hurt my ears, as with many other earphones.

You get a wide range of features like a custom EQ and customising controls (to some extent) through the app. It even tries to help you choose your own EQ with a clever A-B listening setup. You can safely delete the app once you set up everything. There are some other features like 360 audio or link with streaming services, not sure how these work, they seem very proprietary. Alternatively there might be an open source app for android that they are compatible with but I haven’t really looked into it.

It can connect to two devices at the same time but I recommend you leave this setting off as it has been a bit buggy occasionally with audio only coming out of one ear. A factory reset seems to have fixed everything for the last few months now but I haven’t turned this feature back on.

Sadly prices seem to have gone up since I bought mine for around $120 a year ago. Definitely keep an eye out for a deal.

Overall I can highly recommend these earbuds. I’d choose them over Sony’s top of the line WF 1000XM4 because the fit is just so good, they are much less expensive, and (according to reviews) audio quality is somewhat comparable.
