Oh is that what "Distronic" does? I literally work there on a backend system that has that term for one of the features, and I've just never known. I always thought it sounded like something AV related (it sounded "dis

Implicit in this kind of headline is the presumption that bitcoin is not useful. After more than a decade of scams, I think the burden of proof is on bitcoin to demonstrate utility.

I agree that that's why they didn't do a simple XBox 2, but I have never in the past 20 years had the thought that 360 starts with 3, so it's the competitor to the PS3. But even with that reasonable limitation guiding their d

At least that one presented itself as a story they were telling, rather than a simple factual answer. A headline about an anatomy professor detailing the uses of the appendix doesn't seem like it'll be a meandering tale about that

Agreed. You eventually need to take some course of action, so if you can't get everyone on exactly the same page, someone won't get their way. Those people can either accept that their approach isn't being taken, and thus w

BlueSky lets people add their own algorithmic feeds, and customize which feeds they subscribe to. Currently I have "Following" (strictly reverse chronological feed of the people I follow), "What's Hot Classic" (reve

Incidentally that's also a big part of why the people running the site don't like the name, and why the users do.

IMO the biggest problem with Mastodon is that for a while decentralization was the biggest selling point. It led to the place being full of a lot of pedantic dorks. The situation did improve as Twitter exploded and various communities migra

The unofficial name for a post on bluesky. It comes from a combination of "sky" and "tweet". The people running the site don't like that name, which of course only made people embrace it even more.

I think it's mostly the same motivation as blocking assholes, partly "I don't want to be part of your attempt to game the algorithm" and partly "I don't want to see this".

There's an official app on the play store. I don't know if it has been mirrored to any other app stores/repositories, but perhaps knowing the app ID will help find it elsewhere. https://play.google.com/store&#

Regarding your edit, much of bluesky's culture is developing in reaction to Twitter, or based on lessons learned from it. That block-first attitude is a response both to the kinds of bots that are endemic on Twitter, and to the kinds o

All modern cars do a very good job protecting the driver, at the car's expense, so I'm not sure any of that really makes all that much sense.

I agree the app sucks (as does the extended syncing process it kicks off), but the watch works perfectly fine if you almost never use it. Alarms can be enabled/disabled on the watch (for vacations and the like), and my normal "wak

Oh, the case glue is a known issue? The face on mine popped off a few years ago and I thought that was an utterly bizarre failure. Fortunately the display stayed attached to the guts, so I just superglued it back on and it kept working.

Counterpoint, I've been a very happy user of an Amazfit Bip for about 6 years now, wearing it 24/7 aside from showering and medical procedures. It does absolutely everything I need it to, and even after 6 years the battery gets me

That seems optimistic. It's not like they haven't already been made aware of their own activities by this point.

This is a neat concept. I really like how it shows the letters you've guessed for each position in the word as you type. It lets you type in most of a word to see possibilities, then backtrack and try another start.

Does iOS not have anything akin to the concept of Android's notification channels? Using Doordash as the example, at the OS level I can independently disable "General" notifications, which cuts out all the advertising spam, D

Best bet is probably to start by making a game. One option is to start by building a simple game using an existing engine, and eventually get deeper and deeper into the libraries you're using until you decide to contribute back to that

Do a google image search for "millennial beige". Alternatively, look at just about any house listed on Zillow/Redfin/etc. It's a design style that prioritizes modern designs and neutral colors.

If I'm not mistaken, Paradise Lost is the original source for much of it, and more recent popular culture embellishment is much of the reset. Essentially the line "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven" is split in hal

That's shifting generation, not demand. Most people won't respond immediately, so 20 years isn't a crazy guess for a significant amount of the equipment in peoples' houses to cycle out.

The other reply was correct. I'm not talking about all cheese in America, I'm talking specifically about the fact that Kraft slices are ostensibly "American cheese", but in reality are not legally "cheese".
