That’s why seeding your perspective is important, unfortunately. Build leverage before you try to use your lever.

I like the theory that gravity is an emergent property of relativity. I tried to write an explanation here, but I don’t think I understand it well enough. Funnily enough, PBS Space Time has a video about it. https://invidious.tub

You gotta start small. Boycott. Do not buy cars from companies that do this. Even if they allow you to opt out or they have offerings without these “features”. Then tell your friends and family about it. Hopefully, at least one or two of th

You’re far from alone. I recently outright blocked all DNS traffic, including known DoH providers, on my network firewall for all my devices except my Pi-Hole. Then, I blocklisted all Google and Facebook domains on my Pi-Hole… except for Yo

This is giving me some funny ideas about how pokéballs, Pokémon storage and trading could work in that fictional world.

If you know that wasn't the intent, why make this complaint at all?

Sometimes, the fact that my parents and grandmother are so good with technology disappoints me because I have fewer chances of building cool stuff like this.

Personally, I think the Patreon model works great... except content creators charge too much for each tier. When you're subscribed to a hundred or more channels and want to compensate them for blocking their ads, $2 to $5 for each subs

To add a bit more, Perfect Blue is credited as being a huge inspiration for Black Swan.

Recently? Attack on Titan might be one of the best. It's a little too shounen-ish at times, but the setting is pretty mature and has absolutely no fan service. I've heard Vinland Saga is also great. The Promised Neverland is not a

So... it's just a new perspective rendering technique? I wonder how much of it is just slightly changed camera parameters.

You know, whenever I read articles focused on the testimony and actions of a single person I wonder what they have to gain from it. What they win by publicizing themselves like this. Cynically, I believe Zhang has a lot to gain from this, r

Been there, done that. To the shock of the people who witnessed said situations, who couldn't believe I dismiss them. I just can't remember being that bad.

The only problem being, nobody provides AIS data for free. Though I wonder how much a subscription would cost for personal use.

Yeah, you're probably preaching to the choir here. The tracking and advertising industry has an unprecedented amount of influence and control over our lives, it's getting harder to pry your life away from their claws. Sadly, I thi

So are you telling us they charge you €700 for a measly 30HP, which the car can already do safely? I'd be interested in knowing what manufacturer this is so I can steer clear from them. Save your money, get yourself an ECU flash utilit

Not very related story: Several years ago, I remember finding on Amazon this featured brand of headphones. They had wooden cups and they were marketed as being eco-friendly, high-quality and built in the US. After a 5-second search on Amazo

Oh man, Amid Evil is pretty crazy in that regard. All the game elements are sprites with depth mapping, so they react somewhat realistically to level illumination. Prodeus does something similar as well. In fact, you can switch between 2D s

There's quite a few retro shooters like that nowadays. Prodeus, Ion Fury, Amid Evil, Project Warlock, Project Downfall, Hedon, Viscerafest... and those are just the ones I know about. If you include retro 3D (think mid-90s style) there
