To be able to play retro games on current hardware/OS? Why does it always need to be so complicated - I have zero interest in learning about these legacy platforms but I definitely want to play some nostalgic games. Mindboggling that y

Whether anything a perfectly simulated human brain (or other organism see the fruit fly simulated brain) does is actually real - in the same sense it’s real for you and me - is still up for debate i think. Assuming it’s possible to perfectl

I don’t think it’s much more complicated, they just tweaked it a little. I think the underlying system is still very simple

For what it’s worth i think the Bi Nuu poster you share here as reference for something badly designed looks really cool. Poster design like any visual or artistic field will always cater to conflicting individual tastes - for some it looks

Russia is waging an active war of aggression against Ukraine and has its sights set on the rest of Europe (countries that they feel belong to the Russian empire just as they did during USSR). So yea I believe and actually support the EI pus

None of the cases were proven is a bold claim. It’s hard to prove these things of course but you have to ask yourself who benefits most from these kind of attacks and sabotage? Who benefits from a weakened and infighting Europe? Hybrid warf

Yea our lives are too convenient and too much filled with useless stuff that no one really needs anyway - and like other comments pointed out the goal is not to replace petroleum 100% immediately - any reduction would already go a long way.

You can definitely replace petroleum for many of the things you listed - or find alternative technologies that don’t require it. You can live without plastic bags or plastic clothes for instance. It’s just that a lot of companies (and peopl

Only way to find out is to do some testing yourself i think. I’m using less tokens with Lumen but I also use a bunch of other tokens hacks/skills; it’s hard to measure the impact exactly but it feels significant

Why would a Christian be trying to stop the Antichrist? Sounds like the faithful have nothing to lose.

It’s interesting because my experience is inverse (b2b software) - the bloated shiny solution what actually doesnt work at all performs better in the market than the sober, unsexy solution that just works. Companies like Oracle or Microsoft

I disagree - it’s best never to talk to users because they have no idea what good quality is and will constantly push you to implement stupid features that only they uniquely need because of their fucked up business practices. Or weaken you

The physical collection doesnt exist anymore sadly. But you are right that many of the my dads CDs cant be found on streaming services. People don’t even realise what they lost, but then again they probably don’t care either way

Almost 90% of what I listen is not on Spotify. Besides being a plight for culture and enemies of artists Spotify is quite a bad collection too.
