Apple killed one of the best voiceover enabled single-player poker simulator about 2 years ago. THETAPoker was absolutely great, and the author invested a lot of time and energy to make the game perfectly self-voicing. Until Apple review

I am not a car person, so I wouldnt know, nor have any intuition for it. But are "taillight themed bars" really a think? This sounds so weird.

Why do I have to think about the desert scene in "Fear and Loathing"?

Looking into a mirror can really hurt. Guess what, I dont care. I have been belittled, ignored, swept aside, manhandled, pushed across a street, you name it. I dont feel particularily bad if someone outside of my bubble is confronted wit

A rust port for the gameboy, that would have been impressive...

Yeah, "screen curtain" is a pretty essential feature for some of us. I also do that on my Linux laptop. Helps againnst sholder surfing and saves hours of battery time. Regarding your remote-controller idea, check out the Rivo:

The daughter of a coworker of mine has an elementary-school friendship with a blind girl. When she wanted to write a letter to her, I embossed the text for her, because, you know, I can write braille. I was told the little girl was very t

iOS actually has a multi-touch based braille keyboard built-in. So you can have a rather similar behaviour, however, without extra hardware, with native iOS. In Settings > Accessiblity > VoiceOver, add "Braille keyboard" t

"Daily Gratitudes", "Self Love"... This sort of curated communication reminds me a lot about how it feels to be around believers... It makes me shiver. Authentic communication cant be based on a framework of acceptable

Fully agreed. It is somewhat concerning that so few people realize this. It seems tech is the answer to everything these days ... Nothing beats catching up with friends by actually visiting them and sit down for a few hours of talk.

1. Tech is not the solution to everything. Am I the only one to notice the absurdity of needing yet another app to "connect with friends"? I can see the use of tech to reach out to people you know from abroad, but... Whats wrong

This is absolutely great. Seeing this for the first time somehow reminds me when I learnt about Google. many years ago. The salespitch for google back then was "They have all the linux related docs and infos indexed". The promi

Indeed. Besides, you dont even need the lyrics to infer who is insane. The only major goal in life being world domination is enough proof in my book...

Star Wars has lost me. I loved 4,5,6, and I found 1,2,3 at least exciting to see the story arc closed up. But what came afterwards was pretty much unwatchable. I went to the cinema for Rogue One even, but dont remember a single plot-line

Indeed. Its a clear case of trusting the cat to keep the cream. But most poeple dont seem to notice, which is indicative for how strong the illusions the churches have created are.

What I find most problematic is that there is clearly a mix of difference incentives at play. At the one hand, scientists are not getting tired of waving the scientific method about to the uninitiated. Claiming science has no agenda and i

Wow, is it really normal to publish results from such small sample sizes? This feels like tossing dice and publishing the result.

PulseAudio was and is the disaster that the LAD community has already predicted. Whenever a package manager forced it onto me, I had to figure out how to get rid of it again. Hopefully PieWire will improve things.

This is nothing new, and a worldwide phenomenon. If you have to read about this in nytimes for the first time, please get a life and talk to your fellow humans. Its a mixture of personell being overworked and sometimes being plain mean.

Hehe, this sites exists since, well, a loooong time. I typically use it as a directory, to know whats available in a certain category. But I really wonder how this site made it onto the frontpage. This is a bit like posting "amazon.
