Hvori ligger dilemmaet? Det virker som en rimelig klokkeklar dum idé at tage til USA lige nu.

We need Vestager back.

I refuse to believe that it’s in any way better or faster at unit and currency conversion than plain Google or DuckDuckGo. Literally type “100 EUR to USD” and you’ll get an almost instant answer. Same with units: “100 feet to meters”.

And if you’re using it, you’re helping their business. It’s as simple as that.

Jesus fucking Christ, man. RSS parsers and emailing are literally next up after “Hello, World” in programming. If that would have required “months and months of learning” as you stated elsewhere, then maybe programming just isn’t for you — AI or no AI. It’s OK not being able to do something! However, it’s some next level 1st world entitlement shit to think that you’re somehow entitled to be able to create programs without any effort on your part and with a complete disregard for the cost to the environment and the planet.

It’s fucking insane how much is invested (both money and natural resources) in the emperor’s new clothes. Let’s scorch the planet because every idiot out there buys into the marketing and hype. We are utterly and truly doomed because of ourselves.

You have no time constraints when making a playlist. It doesn’t have to fit neatly into 2x 30 or 45 minutes. And because it has to fit into that time constraint, it affects the choice of tracks and their placement into the aforementioned flow. Including a track like Herbie Hancock’s Chameleon has a huge impact on a mixtape, but on a playlist it’s just another song.

I don’t subscribe to any streaming services. I have vinyls and tapes. If I want to listen to music on the go, I use my walkman with music I’ve recorded from vinyl or, in very rare cases, YouTube.

My 9 year-old has a walkman too and it’s the greatest thing ever. She doesn’t have a smartphone, but the walkman enables her to listen to her own mixtape when we’re traveling. She loves it.

Actually, I’ve seen quite a few people with feature phones around lately, a walkman would be perfect for them for the same reason.

Also, making mixtapes is still as great as it was back then. A playlist is not the same, not by a long shot. I made one for my little sister recently and it was all kinds of fun to make sure both sides were filled, that the mood and energy was cohesive, that it was tracks I genuinely believed she would enjoy but also tracks that I knew she wouldn’t seek out on her own. (Fuck algorithms for recommending music — they won’t challenge you or surprise you.)

Edit: Also, releasing on cassette isn’t even that new this time around. For instance, all of Mac Miller’s stuff has been available on cassette for at least a few years. Like, check out HHV’s listing of cassettes: https://www.hhv.de/en/records/catalog/filter/tape-D2M74N4U9 and https://imusic.dk/exposure/8138/kassettebaand has a surprising number of metal albums on cassette.

I wonder who major porn sites use as payment processors? (I don’t know the answer, I’m just saying…)

Epic has been trying real hard to remove the mojo tho. I have 1000+ hours in Rocket League, very few of those are from after Epic hyper-enshitified the game.

Nej, ikke for indeværende, men logistikken omkring softwareopdateringer er nok noget nemmere at få på plads, end hvis de skulle omlægge hele deres supply chain/produktion. Og de kan jo beholde det rimelig Android One-agtigt, som de gør nu, altså “clean” Android, uden alle mulige tåbelige modifikationer (og præinstallerede apps), som også skal vedligeholdes.

Jeg forestiller mig ikke, at det bliver gratis, for de vil jo nok sælge færre telefoner som følge af længere support, men jeg tror heller ikke nødvendigvis, at priserne går helt amok, så det bliver umuligt at få en OK telefon til under 2500,-.

Jeg tror stadig, at forbrugerne i det lange løb vinder på de her tiltag, men vi må se. :)

Nokia/HMD har lavet telefoner, som jeg tror, lever fint op til de fleste krav, uden at de koster mere end 1500-2000 kr. Det er nok mest det med reservedele og OS-opdateringer, der bliver svært.

Men Fairphone har da vist vejen, lyder det til. Man kan håbe, de kommer til at se lidt mere bizness, når de nye regler træder i kraft.

“Carrier has arrived.”

Who gives a fuck what Sharon Osbourne thinks?

Tilbage hos Henrik Moltke, så har han bedt OpenAIs såkaldte deep research værktøj om at vurdere, hvor stor sandsynligheden er, for at Trump-administrationen har bedt et kunstig intelligens værktøj om hjælp.

Fuck nu af…

You know they are. Morten Messerschmidt has already been kissing Musks and Trumps asses on Twitter and he visited Mar-a-lago shortly before Trump was inaugurated.

If a game is terrible in terms of fulfilling what it advertised itself to be, IMO that makes it a terrible game.

I think that’s kind of an odd perspective because many (if not most) people will discover a game without knowing any details about how it came to be and what was—and wasn’t—promised.

I’m a big Mega Man (mostly Classic) fan. I think MN9 was judged way too harshly. It’s not a bad game in its own right, not markedly great either, but certainly a passable and enjoyable one nonetheless.

People were hoping for another Mega Man X but of course it was never going to be exactly that. They need fangames and ROM hacks for that, not someone who could lose pretty much everything (job, work, money) if they stray too close to Capcom’s IP. I don’t know exactly how much Comcept promised and how much was hype built up by fans, but somewhere along the way expectations became misaligned and people were pissed and disappointed.

But yeah, going into it without any big expectations certainly helped me enjoy it.

Tunic is such a great game. I don’t think you’ve messed anything up — the game is just a bit convoluted in its puzzles and clues. Have fun!

Not to mention “stick it to 'em” when he’s doing exactly what Epic hoped for — engaging with their platform. It doesn’t even matter if you’re using Hero Launcher or not even playing it, it’s a +1 in their system and that’s what they care about.

Jeg er generelt tilhænger af løsninger som ikke smadrer folks liv og hverdag […]

Altså, jeg foreslog bare, at man konfiskerede deres cykel, når de udviste en opførsel, der — hvis vi skal tro artiklen — har masser af potentiale til bogstavelig talt at smadre deres eller andres liv. Kølevognen, som man ikke så, fordi man kiggede i sin telefon, gør ikke forskel på om det er første gang, man gør det, eller 10. Der er rimelig kontant afregning.
