I do wish the button could be a toggle, though. You have to press and hold it down to keep the IS active, at least on the version 3 model. It isn't too hard to do, but still, a bit annoying to have to tell each person who uses it to push and hold the button or else they aren't correctly taking advantage of the main feature of these binoculars.

Canon 12x36 Image Stabilization III Binoculars. They're pricey at ~$700, but I've had a pair for several years, and they're so nice to use. When you press the button to activate the IS, it makes everything clear and sharp. It's like looking at a pair of binoculars on a tripod, but handheld. Very convenient to quickly whip out the binos to look at something and have a clear image.

I've started to use Playnite. It's nice to have a complete catelog of all my games. Most of my real games (ie ignoring random freebies) are on steam, but I've collected a bunch elsewhere like gog, epic, humble bundle, and others. You can give it credentials and set up nearly all the major catelogs so that it can generate a listing of all games you own.

I use it to mark when I completed a game, but I've only had it for a couple years, so I generally go by memory or by steam statistics of hours played.

Downside is that it's Windows only. It's open source and free, and I still have a windows machine for most of my gpu games, but I mainly game on my steam deck or my Linux laptop these days, so I need to find another option or see if Playnite is wine/Proton compatible.

I made this after noticing that the original meme had an arm that doesn't match to any of the people in the crowd.

Notice this row has three hands up, unlike the other rows of hands, but still only two people.

If the further person happened to be raising both of their arms, it still doesn't work, because they would have to be wearing a shirt with different sleeve lengths. And it can't be the closer person, because they'd have arms with two different skin tones.

Firefox used to let you self-hosted the account sync. They changed the method they used a few years back and it wasn't backwards compatible, so I stopped self hosting, but they might still have that option.

Not a breakdown of the whole intro exactly, but this breaks down the melody musically and makes some comments about how it relates symbolically.

No, that's not correct. If you create a new file as root, it will own that file. But editing an existing file doesn't change the owner or group of that file.

I for certain of 5 pubs that exist but are not on that map.

I think you a word.

Do you just mean whistling while breathing in and also while breathing out? I can do that, but there's a short break in the whistle when I switch the airflow direction.

Ie I can whistle a long song without pause, but I can't whistle a single sustained note without a short but noticeable break in the sustain when I switch from breathing out to breathing in and vice versa.

I've only personally used the tizen app a couple times, but my relatives have used it a bunch with no reported issues. I have not had to update it yet, but it's only been a few months. Definitely not frequent updates. My jellyfin server has had one update since then, but even the server updates aren't coming in on a weekly basis, so I don't expect their client will break anytime soon.

 

I can't be the only one who's noticed this.
