Honestly I think this is bad. We'll end up with Blink everywhere.

Agreed. One of my issues with Mastodon is that I cannot see content from people I don't subscribe to. Even if all of my follows like/favorite a toot, I won't see it. This is a flawed design. This is the main reason Twitter is

Maybe you don't know this but, the daily mail is a notoriously unreliable source. I wouldn't think about anything they write. Leopard 2s are maybe the best tanks in existence, but I suspect the real reason is logistics. There are

An apartment with heat exchange towards the outside through one wall is worse insulated than a single family home with all four walls plus roof and floor leaking heat? Color me extremely skeptical. I honestly suspect the entire urban planni

I heard somewhere that 50 stories (so about 150m) is the tallest we can economically build, even on very valuable soil. Not sure why the bean counters allow architects to build higher...

Tuxedo Computers sells the Pulse 15 with a centered keyboard, 1440p 165Hz screen, and AMD CPU+iGPU. Pretty nice laptop, except the integrated microphone is a bit shit.

The guy doing the voices were improvising as he went along, as he was under the impression that it was a test. That this ended up being the track they used is, in itself, really odd. It's a funny track, though, so I guess that could be
