I haven’t watched through this one yet, but I found the first book in the light novel series relatively self-contained, and I didn’t really feel like the later books added much to the series. Assuming it made it through that first book, it might be worthwhile sitting exactly where it is.

The most important risk you face is if somehow mains voltage ends up contacting somewhere you get electrocuted and die.

There are 2 purposes of an earth ground: First it can be used as a reference for certain signals, such as microphones. Second, it can be used to protect against turning yourself into a sparker.

There is a clear separation between mains voltage and system voltages so it’s typically not going to be a problem, but if a little wire ends up contacting the power supply case it can become energized and things start to get really bad.

Most of the electrical code where I live focuses on grounding as “Bonding”, which is purely safety related for giving dangerous voltages a safe place to go.

It’s subtle, but they changed a lot of minor things, I think maybe because it’s using a different UI framework. Scrolling is worse (the scroll bar acts nuts and the scroll wheel usually doesn’t work very well, I these days tend to use the keyboard to scroll the middle plane) and the frame on the right doesn’t reset between stories.

It’s little things, but it makes reading through the days news a bit tougher.

Glad I’m not the only one thinking that…

I live by nextcloud news, but I don’t like the new interface.

The other nice thing is it syncs with apps on every platform.

Imo the future is federated and self-hosted. Maybe not for everyone, but for me.

I’ve got a 2013 MotoX, and it’s been many a moon, but I’m pretty sure I was able to get LineageOS onto it. It’s a small, thin phone with voice recognition built in. Quite distinct looking from any Moto Gs we’ve bought. Took Motorola forever to port Android M to it, and then the port was actually really shitty, so it was nice to eventually find a port.

I think I found the good version on xda. OTOH, I don’t think it was a cdma phone. I think the one I had supported LTE

I’m running nova, and the thing that sets it apart from rootless (as I recall, it’s been a while) is that you can set up whatever search engine for the search bar you want. I don’t use google, I only use my own searx instance on brave, and nova let me set everything up exactly the way I wanted it. Most other launchers assume you want google, and I think they assume you want chrome too.

I always debloat my phone, the difference is too massive to ignore.

My last 2 phones were a Galaxy S9 and a Galaxy S10, and I really found the samsungs to be insufferable at first, but with a strong debloat removing a bunch of ‘features’ nobody asked for and redundant apps, as well as changing the launcher (I use novalauncher, but rootless is also great and also FOSS) had a notable effect on the feel of the phone. I recall that some of the “features” specifically slow down responsiveness to button pushes because for example it ends up waiting on a home button press to see if you’re going to do a double or triple press.

If you mess it up too much, a factory restore will undo everything you did anyway, so don’t worry too much about it.

I’ve used the same technique on a number of different phones as well. My dad loves his LG phones, but it comes with a bunch of stuff he didn’t want, so we were able to disable it. His latest phones are rugged china phones, and he swears by them, especially once we were able to get rid of a bunch of stuff they added that you really don’t need.

whooooooooooooooo

Slime is one of my favorite isekai. Even with all the genocide it’s just too wholesome.

It’s really frustrating that people who don’t understand this experiment have insanely taken into assume that a magic particle spell understands if a human being is watching or not.

There’s definitely something to be said for trying to get it mostly correct the first time.

Honestly, This makes a lot of sense. Intuitively it seemed strange to me for us to just happen to be in a universe that’s barely older than the first set of stars out there, when there’s so much matter in the universe that would have needed to have formed over billions of years in the heart of stars, which would then reach the end of their life cycle and nova – that all this happens to line up awfully closely, especially with all the debris from those dead stars would need to scatter over light years of distance.

You know, I know it’s a joke, but if you think about it there’s probably a lot of behavioral instincts that we rely on go surprisingly far back in the evolutionary chain.

Unfortunately the death of Moore’s law means they need to get more speed from somewhere to have new products to sell so I expect this’ll continue for high end products.

Otoh, at least low end products get dragged upwards too, amazing how much cpu you can get in 32w

Hoping the tide is turning in Canada and this sort of monstrous attack on basic human rights becomes one of the sad moments in history future governments apologize for.

It’s funny watching big tech neuter themselves in realtime.

Neat, I didn’t realize he has a blog.

“I nitpicked a word you used, therefore not just refuting your entire post that I didn’t read, but you as a human being. What, you pointed out my behavior? Clearly it only proves that my refutation of you as a human being is wholly correct.”

“didn’t read here’s a nitpick”

lol about the response I expected.
