No joke, I’m tempted to buy a Steam Deck (or true Linux phone) because… It can run a local HTML/CSS/JS app on a browser with filesystem access and audio support. This is the power of having an OS that is not locked down.

Speaking of which, what would you recommend for me to run a local HTML/CSS/JS app on a browser with filesystem access and audio support? (No, Android is too locked down to meet that spec) Other required specs:

• Portable: Can fit in a pocket
• 16GB or more usable storage
• Bluetooth support
• Ideally low-cost

Never heard of the former, and you don’t need to use porn to fap. Porn addiction is absolutely a real thing though.

Yep. Although it’s hard to abuse fapping because you run out of sperm lol. It can be a big time waster though.

It’s not even nofap, it’s no nut November. The former is a philosophy, the latter is a challenge.

I think people downvote nofap here because it makes some arguments that really stretch the truth and feed into bigger lies. In reality, there’s nothing wrong with not fapping, but there’s also nothing wrong with fapping.

NNN communities also get downvote brigaded, even though the famous Internet challenge is largely apolitical.

I once read that the license should be smaller than your code. Gives me a good baseline:

• Permissive license for small projects and little tests

• Copyleft license for big projects

My idea is to allow premium users to have third-party apps that can be more customizable. Google barely has to lift a finger, premium would get more popular, and the experience would be so much better.

Interestingly enough the €3k is, when converted to USD, almost exactly what I paid for, in cash, to buy my Street Triple a few weeks ago. I was weary of giving a ton of cash to some random stranger, and wanted to do a cashier’s check. He didn’t know what that was.

This makes me wonder, are cashier’s checks considered cash under this rule in the EU?

It’s not “macro” if it’s a one-off custom build.

The main reason why I like micromobility is that the vehicles are fun to ride. I also just like to see the ridiculous contraptions being made with the ever-improving EV technology.

If I didn’t just blow all my money on a Triumph Street Triple R (really fast motorcycle), then I’d totally get a fast (maybe not this fast to start) e-scooter.

True, plus the bloated websites I see are using hundreds of thousands of lines of JavaScript. Why would you possibly need that much code? My full fledged web games use under 10,000.

Name anything Vivaldi specifically (not Chromium-wide) has done to screw over their users. I can’t name a single thing, while I can name many Anti-User things Firefox has done.

Unfortunately, open-source becomes nearly meaningless when the cost to produce a fork becomes so prohibitive and the open-source project starts acting like a for-profit company.

And they wonder why their market share is decreasing.

The only major browser that actually seems to care about their users is Vivaldi, sadly.

It boils down to two broad categories for me:

1. How locked down the OS is on iPhones and iPads. We’ve seen recent progress (Safari extensions, retro console emulators), but we’re still far from a serious OS. iOS still lacks a proper file management system (especially for playing back local audio) and no side-loading is still a deal breaker.
2. Obscene markups for easily accessible parts. Apple still believes 8GB RAM is worth $200, and they believe 1TB storage is worth $800. I’d rather just get something with replaceable RAM and storage.

How about making an electric motorcycle first before making an outlandish promise?

Unfortunately pretty much everything has Pluton these days, including all non-Dell/non-Lenovo Ryzen 6000+ or Intel 13th? Gen laptops and all Copilot+ PCs. I wouldn’t be surprised if Pluton was required to run Windows 12.

So what even is the purpose of Pluton if it’s useless for its main use case?

But my main barrier to using Adobe products is reducing my laptop battery life by an hour because of its many background bloat processes, not the price (as I am currently a student). So much for “hook 'em while they’re young.”

I never knew the word was used as a slur or had sexual connotations. I thought it was a verb akin to “nerf” or “cripple”, as in “Windows 11 gimped the taskbar functionality.” I guess this word is still bad, as I want to enhance, not “gimp,” my pictures.

Why is the coins to awards function logarithmic?
