There’s a Kurzgezagt animated version of it as well

Skimmed through the article quickly and yeah that’s what I interpret as well, this is just NFC Payment, and has been a thing on Android devices for years already.

Aaah! The thought did strike me that maybe it could be Icelandic or Finnish, i know you guys up in Iceland in particular are really dedicated to inventing new native words for absolutely everything, and never using loan words

Not really important, as the idea is cool, but regardless; as a Nordic, i can’t think of a single word we use for computer that would translate to number witch 🤔

There are tons of politicians out there that want to do more. Hardcore green parties, climate advocates, straight up activists. They have been active for years and years.

Nobody votes for them. On the contrary, people are voting increasingly for the exact opposite.

And I mean, why wouldn’t they? The climate disaster snowball is so goddamn big now that the actions needed to take to slow it down is growing increasingly extreme. And as the actions grow more extreme, the immediate impact on personal comfort convenience and quality of life grows. Why would anyone vote for something that objectively makes your life worse?

So instead of voting for that, people vote for the status quo. Maybe for those who commit to some token greenwashing at best. Maybe it won’t be so bad, they say. Maybe it’ll only impact brown people somewhere. Maybe it’s not even real to begin with.

And so the snowball grows, the scale of the reactions needed to stop it grow with it, and the cycle perpetuates. As it has for the last several decades.

On a similar note, robot vacuum. It cleans quite nicely, is surprisingly reliable, and as a bonus you keep the floor less cluttered to make sure it doesn’t run into stuff it shouldn’t.

Exactly. Hence me comparing it to beef instead of Tuna.

Very, very poorly made in that case, probably. Properly prepared whale is honestly closer to beef than any other fish, and should be juicy and easy to chew.

Hades sounds worth a try, it checks many of the boxes at least, though not all

Still waiting for the Polearm Mastery + Sentinel build fix :(

Can’t you just unplug the dock from the wired connection instead?

I don’t have the same background for it, but currently doing the exact same thing. Tiptoeing around eggshells to avoid conflict of any sort, retreating and agreeing at the slightest sign of friction. Recently started seeing a therapist that made me aware of how incredibly toxic and self-destructive this is. We both gotta be better, take care of yourself man.

I hate how plausible this sounds

Other way around, the mod author was made an employee after the fact, I believe

Honestly, with drone operators running with soon to be years of experience with these kamikaze drones, I imagine it just might be nothing but straight up flexing for the videos at this point

Barely spoke a word with any of them for several years. Got a kid. Now i know almost all of them.

EXTREMELY effective method, but has a few caveats.

Shoutout to Uplink! Not something you look to for realism, but it’s a really well designed hacker sim. Lots of fun!

Newgrounds still lives and flourishes, to this day it is still an incredibly active hub for free browser games and animations. Itch.io is another hub that is very active, both with free and paid games. Both have thousands of browser games, quality ranging from literal shit to truly excellent.

Flash may have died, but the browser game very much lives on.
