Have a look at Factorio. It’s DRM free and you can easily spend hundreds or thousands of hours on it if you like it. Try the free demo first. Also keep in mind that it’s never on sale (or always, depends how you look at it). Be warned though, it’s very addictive.
That would be an awesome piggy bank, but British Museum in particular is doing pretty well on this front compared to many other museums, their souvenir shops have at least some. Not enough for me to be completely satisfied, but enough not to be completely disappointed, which is pretty good, relatively speaking.
Let’s not all be downers here. This actually sound like nice improvements, I might give the groups a try.
Thanks, it would never occur to me to look for it on Wikipedia.
Is it on a stable website, or does it change sometimes? And what’s the address?
Unless I’m very mistaken rejecting all cookies must not take more clicks than accepting them. Too bad nobody enforces that…
It’s great. It doesn’t have spell check, but it’s great for writing more characters easily (no long press, just swipe slighty to the side). You can completely customise your layout (and I mean completely, I have my name mapped for easy signing, but also copy, paste, back, compose button…), has Ctrl, Fn, arrows, anything.
Each key can have up to 9 (but realistically 5) characters - one upon clicking, the rest upon a short swipe to one of the eight directions. I haven’t seen another keyboard like this, and it’s so much faster than long press!
Do both. Can’t make a mistake by reaching out too much, I think.
Have you already written to your members of parliament about chat control, and possibly other matters? Seriously, do it. There is very little you can do, but this might actually help. Slightly. Maybe.
Do you know if there’s an instance with working RSS that also shows inages from the tweets in the RSS? I couldn’t find any for months.
Thanks. It seems to be just whatsapp web in an app form, so I could probaby just go to my browser. But that’s still an interesting idea that never ocurred to me on phone.
Is there, by any chance, an alternative client?
I think Ra has a magic casting system that is a programming language.
I think you’re probably misremebering what you read, so let’s first set it right.
The time always depends on the observer. If you’re going at the speed close to the speed of light (let’s say 0.99c, that is 99% of the speed of light), the time will slow down for you from the point of view of others who aren’t moving. If you go this fast, it will look like you were slowed down to the others. You yourself will feel normal and everyone else will look sped up. This effect is the larger the closer to the speed of light you go. We’ll get to the speed of light and faster in a minute.
If you went to the moon and back at 0.99c, to everyone on earth, it will look like it took you just a tiny bit less timw then it would take light, I think 2.5 seconds or so. To you, it would feel much faster, I didn’t calculate it but let’s say 0.1 second. There’s no way you would come back to distant future of Earth after a single trip to the moon.
You could come back to the distant future if you went much further. If you spent a year at 0.99c, much more time would pass on earth. If you kept looking, you would spend a year watching earth at fast forward. In the meantime, earthlings will spend many years wathing you slowed down from their point of view. For you it would feel like a year, for Earth, it would feel like many years, because the flow of time depends on your speed and there is no universal reference time.
Now let’s get to the speed of light. First of all, it is impossible for anything with mass to reach the speed of light. As you approach speed of light, the amount of energy needed to accelerate increases and you need infinite amount of energy to reach the speed of light, which you obviously can’t have. Massless particles, like photons, that is light, move at the speed of light. Hence speed of light :-) It is said that they don’t percieve time, they are sort of simultaneously everywhere along their path from their point of view. Easy to say, hard to imagine. But no dip is happening. From the point of view of someone not moving, just standing on Earth, if you are speeding up, you appear to be moving slower and slower and if you reached the speed of light, you would appear to stop moving altogether. From your point of view, you would feel normal, but Earth would be more and more sped up and then I guess you would be everywhere at once and time would stop to have a meaning? BTW, observing stuff would in fact be problematic, since you need light for that and getting light at the speed of light doesn’t quite work and there’s a bunch of interesting other complications even before that.
To get to speeds faster than speed of light is even more impossible. But there is a theoretical framework for particles faster than speed of light called tachyons. In a way, they are an opposite. They have to be faster, never can reach the speed of light and the closer to the speed of light they are (and therefore the slower they are), the more energy they need to slow down further. They are said to move backwards in time. They have not been showed to exist (once it looked like they might, but it was a technical issue with measurements). I know very little about them.
I’m wondering about coverage. How much was it talked about in the public? How much was it covered by media? What’s your experience from France and other countries that reached the threshold and from countries that remained far from it? People can’t sign something they never heard about.
In a large part, a distraction. Or more generally, a way to stay in power. How do you stay in power when your country is doing very poorly economically while you and your friends keep siphoning public money into their pockets? You create a strong narrative, ideally an external enemy (“NATO wants to destroy our way of life!” “Ukraine is full of fascists killing Russians!”). Support it by propaganda from your state-controlled media and you are a hero saving the country, if not the world. You can do pretty much anything and still retain considerable support.
That’s also why Putin can’t really afford peace, he would lose a strong narrative in his favour. He pretends to agree, but doesn’t actually follow conditions of any agreement while constantly increasing his demands. He might agree with an agreement that would basically be Ukraine’s capitulation, but nothing less.
If you come from elsewhere in the EU, yes, you can always vote in local elections and european parliament elections where you live. If you’re from elsewhere, it depends on local law.
BTC? No way, that’s way too sane. It’s going to be DOGE.
I might be wrong, but is it a list of countries with a leader of some sort that met Trump and was nice to him?
