Yeah, nothing back there except tons of highly radioactive waste that nobody knows what to do with for the next million years, nothing back there but the risk of contaminating a whole region with radioactive shit like it happened in Chernobyl and Fukushima, nothing back there except for overly expensive energy that’s only cheap because governments subsidized the shit out of it because they thought it was the new big thing you need to have, and now they still do just because. Don’t get me worng, it’s probably still a tiny bit better than burning fossils. But it’s still bullshit.

Is this a joke?

Looking at your comments here, I can see why that was happening to you on reddit.

They just display a tiny bit of text and images, they should switch between screens at 60fps, not 2s per click.

I think this is intentional. They want you to take time looking at the pictures so you might think “you know what, actually I’d like some of those fries as well” by making it hard to just quickly select what you want and leave.

I wouldn’t even be surprised if there’s a psychological effect where you feel like ordering more makes this tedious ordering process more worthy. I mean why go through 2 minutes of clicking and waiting just for one stupid cheeseburger.

And anytime you clicked on a link or image in the chat, you’ll have to click into the message field again (or press Ctrl+t) to be able to type a reply. I don’t understand how this absolutely infuriating thing hasn’t been fixed in years. Is nobody bothered by this? I want to be able to alt+tab into signal and just start typing ffs.

Rock stars, groupies, parties and drugs are as old as music itself.

That doesn’t apply to having a team that does sex casting on social media for the artist though.

Just in case you missed it: there have been serious accusations against Till Lindemann, the singer of Rammstein, recently. Apparently his band managers contact young female Rammstein fans on social media before concerts, inviting them to secret after show parties where they get lots of alcohol and Till can choose one to drug even more and take to bed with him. Multiple women have come forward with similar claims and the social media thing has been well documented as far as I know. The case went to court but was dropped because there wasn’t enough proof and now he acts like nothing ever happened. I think everyone listening to the band should know about this.

For me it’s having to make an emergency call and the person on the other end either just won’t listen properly, ignore me, not understand me, act in a weird way, or the call has technical problems like there is no reception where I am and I have to run around forever to find signal or a different phone.

I have no idea where that comes from, I’ve never even made an emergency call.

And 3 is obviously on the right side of a clock and 9 on the left so the debate is settled.

To be fair, it wasn’t a completely serious answer to the question. I do really believe what I said but I’m aware that Lynch isn’t for everyone.

Mulholland Drive. Not only is it the best movie ever made, it also has everything: love, romance, crime, horror, humor, action, mystery, …

Sounds really interesting. I’m thinking about getting a foldable that doesn’t allow different layouts for the screens, will probably check it out if I get one. Does it allow the swipe down gesture to open notifications?

Thank you! That is very informative.

There’s a lot of One UI features that I take for granted now (same thing I also hear from friends who switched to a Pixel)

As someone who has only ever used Samsung and is thinking about getting a pixel this worries me a bit. Could you elaborate?

Yeah, same here. It’s a pretty specific demand when bluetooth headphones have become really good and actually have a lot of advantages compared to wired ones. Also there is always the option to use a USB C dongle so it’s really not that big of a deal.

They explain very thoroughly on their website why they did it:

The moment Adobe Creative Cloud works on Linux, I’ll switch. Until then I’ll have to stick with Windows.

It is mine. There is a room with each tenant’ washing machine in the basement and that is a typical situation in Germany.

Not trying to defend stupid internet connectivity but my washing machine is in the basement in a shared laundry room while I live on the second floor of the apartment building. No way I’ll hear it beep so a notification would be very useful actually. This is a very common situation in Europe where a lot of people live in rental apartments.

The problem is rather that there needs to be WiFi access in the laundry room.

Sounds like a great workplace.
