2005 is about as late as you can go before the processors in cameras started being powerful enough to do a lot of stuff to the images. Most of my collection is very early 2000s or even late 90s. The Sony Cyber-shot…
Haven't touched Mastodon myself. "Decentralized" reads to me as "fragmented, dependent upon randoms to uphold the infrastructure, interoperable to a degree but you'd better hope your 'home' server doesn't go down for…
Professional wine tasters are proven to be full of shit from top to bottom time and time again, and yet they still have careers, it's still a very wealthy industry, and people still give them the time of day. Pretty…

last time I encountered this, I had my phone on me, but had no cell signal in the area and the restaurant had no public wifi. I asked my server for a physical menu and they brought me a goddamn iPad with the brightness…
why not both
Fragment? You mean Telegram's attempt to cash in on the cryptocoin scam, with their own walled-garden system and marketplace where it's currently hovering around $30 to buy a number, when it's genuinely cheaper to just…
lol to the guy accusing floppy disks of being "plastic waste." As if SSDs encased in 90% hollow plastic/metal, or USB drives encased in varying amounts of unnecessary plastic are somehow less "wasteful" than floppy…
https://bearblog.dev seems like a good alternative for simple, clean, good looking blogs. Prioritizes quick loading and efficient web design.
Just got to say I appreciate the visual pun of the "autopilot" from Airplane.
Overall pretty meaningless coming from Facebook. They'll still collect all the metadata they want. The only theoretical benefit this offers to the user is in the event of a massive Messenger data breach, at least the…
Horse apples?
Cryptographically secured? Perhaps. Distributed, in the sense of a blockchain? Highly unlikely.
Man, I would love to get a Fairphone, but they won't sell it to the US, and even if I spent an exorbitant amount having it imported, the modem inside isn't programmed for US frequencies so network compatibility will be…
The U.S. economy will fall even more steeply into depression, the housing market bubble will pop, and it will be incredibly hard for a time, but will ultimately be good for most.
Physical media remains king
What if the design is bad?
You don't own digital media unless it's 100% DRM-free and can be installed and used offline. I try always to buy my games from GOG if I can for this reason. Your GOG games will still work long after their service is…
Dinesh D'Souza is a scam artist. Do you also still believe that the MyPillow guy is going to release that evidence of voter fraud he's been holding onto for two years? You've been conned.
State supremacy is a thing, but only for matters the Constitution does not speak on. You'd have to pass a new amendment to allow something like that. Not the easiest task, especially in this climate.
"well-regulated militia" meant well-stocked and prepared in the parlance of the era it was written.
Is it a command one can use in Linux? Then it is a Linux command. And frankly I wouldn't put it past some people to have specialized peripherals they specifically use with Linux.
Does the Wii not have an OS? Or do you mean Wii U titles are far more integrated into its OS?
Why did they drop that selling point? Did it hog too much performance for most games?
School buses are one of those areas I'm surprised EV's haven't completely consumed already. They basically play to every single strength EVs have.
