Hearing from my parents about the shitty, uncertain times they've already been through. Like the threat of nuclear annihilation during the Cold war, the division of Germany, various economic crises... everything was eventually followed by better times. Will everything work out in the long run? Who knows. But I don't think we're on some kind of linear path where everything will just get worse, forever.

I have a Z flip and while it's far from perfect, foldable flip phones are great and I'd choose them over a same-spec regular phone every day. Much more convenient to carry in my pocket compared to a slab and basically having an included tripod for photos is pretty nice as well.

Especially with the second "s" apparently standing for "satanists". Pretty odd for a pastor, though she writes on another post that a friend created that account for her and she doesn't know anything about the site. IDK

Pretty sure both chains offer vegan pizzas. So then it's only an atrocity against Italian cuisine (not because it's vegan, but because you could've chosen a proper pizzeria).

I've only eaten at Pizza Hut once and it was in Shanghai, in 2008. It was fine. Never had Domino's. There are excellent Italian pizzerias all over Europe, so I never feel the need to go for a chain.

Definitely unethical. Domestic cats are already a huge problem for wild bird populations. Why would you want to intentionally make that problem even worse?

It's also a problem that's getting worse. When I was in school in the 2000s, like 80% of the kids took the bus and half of the remaining ones (like me) came by bike. Now my niece goes to the same school and she's one of very few kids still taking the bus there. The schoolyard turns into a chaotic mess of SUVs every morning. I guess it goes hand in hand with helicopter parenting becoming normalized.

Yes, you can pair used ones without any problem. They're not locked to a specific piece of hardware.

I don't think a single unprovoked attack this decade and no deaths from wolf attacks in Europe in the 21st century make this a "complicated situation".

This is still all about Ursula von der Leyen's personal vendetta after her pony died, isn't it?

Google Glass was not AR. They were "smart glasses" with severely limited functionality for an extremely high price. That's mainly why they failed, not the privacy backlash. The majority of people don't care about privacy, just look at what information people put on the Internet.

Moondrop Chu 2 earphones. I use expensive Hifi gear at home, but those are more than good enough on the go while also being cheap enough for me not to have to worry about them getting damaged or stolen.

 

I'm currently waiting for all the components for my PC upgrade to arrive. Got the motherboard today and immediately upon opening, I noticed that the CMOS battery was not in its slot but just kind of next to it loose on top of the board. The slot seems fine, it seems to fit securely in there. No scratches on the board either. But now I'm a bit worried - could the battery have shorted something on the motherboard? It holds a charge after all. What do you think - should I return it for a new one untested or are the chances of the battery harming anything so miniscule that I should just go for it and use it in my build?

 

The Steam Deck's multitouch screen might be its most underutilised feature. Until recently, I wasn't even sure whether devs could use it for anything more than simple mouse emulation. But I've just started playing "Sky: Children of the Light" on my Deck (which is generally a great experience on Deck, especially on the OLED with 90Hz HDR) and I found that when using a musical instrument, you can actually use the touchscreen to play up to 10 notes at the same time.

This got me curious: Do you know if there are any other games on Deck using multitouch, or is Sky the first one that does it?

 

Für mich 90% Übereinstimmung mit Volt

 

That would explain why I didn't have any problems with Youtube and uBlock Origin.
