Google has always been like this. I used to have a Youtube account with timelapse movies from my holidays. Nothing special, just stuff to show the family, but it was a lot of work to edit and upload them all. One day I…
That's what I meant when stating 'the exact frequencies are culturally defined'. There are lots of tuning systems. Equal temperament is just 12 (logarithmic) equal steps. But other tuning systems use different…
I agree that this is often the situation in practice. I feel it's kind of bleak to just accept that status quo. Democracy lost? Back to the medieval system of nobles and serfs? Where having money means having rights? We…
I'd like my e-reader to show up as a printer, and when I print something on it it actually gets saved as a pdf on the reader. Like in the article, but multi-page pdf. I often do 'print to A5 pdf => copy pdf to…
printing has never really been a thing from text editors I think. Used to be that printing a text file was just `cat myfile.txt > /dev/lp0` . It has been a while since I printed a plain text file, but I guess there's…
Copyright is good. It's the justice system letting money buy it's way out of enforcement that is bad. If you create something you should have some protection of other people just blatantly ripping you off. Copyright…
True. And it's going to bite us in the ass pretty soon. Already does, actually.

ok, fair enough.
You can re-train your ear of course. But on average a lot of people used to western music feel that classical arabic/indian music with half/quarter tones in it sounds 'out of tune'/wrong. I really like classical arabic…

There are ways to passively cool a house without airco. People have been building cool houses in hot climates for centuries. It doesn't always work, true. Once it is hot 24/7 and you don't have a source of cold anywhere…
You're not wrong. I'm not hung up on the terminology, but it is better to not use their language.
Make that 'since forever'. But there used to be a lot of insightful discussion inbetween the facebook-like parts. (Maybe it was the same on facebook, I wouldn't know because I never had a facebook account and you can't…
The main reason for me to use GrapheneOS would be to sever the umbilical cord to google. I don't really see the point of using GrapheneOS instead of Stock Android if I then have to use the play store.
Not anymore :-( But it's a good thing, actually because: - when reddit is good it's way to addictive - reddit has become nearly as bad as most other social media sites So if they force me to use an account, I'll finally…
But not for long. Sideloading is being frowned upon by the mighty G
Meh. Luanti is nearly as old as minecraft itself. You could say just as well that they copied the style of infiniminer. If your whole shtick is creating blocky games with retro-easy-to-recreate 8x8 or 16x16 textures…
Nothing ironic about that. Using an airco to cool a house is often (not always) a luxury that humans did without for centuries. So people are used to seeing cooling as luxury. Without heating you die. A heatpump is more…

Yes, you can increase accuracy. However, I always turn it off and still get an accuracy of a few meters, which is plenty accurate nearly all practical purposes. Even in cities. The difference used to be larger, but with…
Good. Still, I see that page and I think 'Logitech Corporate driver software'. Maybe that's the intention? But it makes me start slightly suspicious.
I don't think google will explicitly 'deintificate' the data and sell it 'deidentified'. It's more that that kinda data can't really be anonymized. And while I trust google to pay lipservice to the 'anonymizedness' , I…
