Cities which had someone blow a horn to wake everyone up would also have watchmen walking the city at night. Presumably, they would wake the next person up when their shift ended so that someone is awake at all times.

Sadly, that doesn’t always help. I’ve lived in a city with several public toilets. Some people would still rather piss on a wall ~30 metres away from the public toilet rather than use it.

They probably reduced the amount of people doing that, though.

I’ve had issues since kernel 6.4. Since early December, one pair of Bluetooth headphones works again (mostly, with occasional connection issues), but the AirPods still fail to pair at all.

Perhaps this ASRM-ish reading of java class exceptions might calm you down? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCCTCVBFt6E

Copied from miku-chan03?

Here’s a dramatic reading of some of miku’s posts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDqik-Y27Uc
The same text as from the OP is the first one in the video.

If the community is so large that your post is immediately buried, it’s large enough for a subcommunity.

However, most communities on the threadiverse are not that large. In that case, fragmenting the tiny communities even more just hides your post from the users who might be interested but are not subscribed to a niche subcommunity of a small community.

  1. Refurbished ones are just as good as fresh ones, and basically always "on sale" since their price is reduced.

  2. Valve seems to be moving towards a very likely Steam Deck Refresh. Very little is known about when or how this will happen. Based on previous comments and data-mining, the refresh will have the exact same amount of gaming-power. It may, however, have a better WiFi-chip, better screen, and stuff like that. Nothing is certain and if you want a Deck soon-ish, I wouldn’t recommend waiting for this.

At least it’s not quite on the level of orphancrushingmachine stories the wholesomememes community was known for on Reddit.

Last I checked, his audience was those self-proclaimed "intellectuals". The kind of atheists who define their identity by dunking on religious people, and the kind of mediocre people who feel superior by laughing others.

People who look at cherry-picked and out-of-context examples of progressivism and then dismiss the entirety as anti-science wokeness. People who cherry-pick scientific beliefs (without deeper research) in the same way most religious people cherry-pick passages from their holy text. Take the (out-of-context) quotes that reaffirm what you already belief in, ignore the rest, and most importantly: Declare that your "truth" is superior to others.

Apparently, you’re getting both HDR and VRR on the current Steam Deck soon. Currently, in the Preview version, soon-ish in stable.

Beim Waschen wird die Kleidung enger. Besonders beim zu heißen Waschen wird Kleidung enger.

Hubi beklagt sich darüber, dass die Kleidung immer enger wird. Hubi wünscht sich, dass Kleidung bei kalten Waschen weiter würde.

Der Wunsch ist: 1) Heißes Wasser macht Kleidung enger. 2) Kaltes Wasser macht Kleidung weiter.

I’m pretty sure Valve Software surveys say that only a very small minority "easily spend over $2k on hardware". Especially considering that VR would be in addition to whatever they spent on hardware already, and that these $2k would be on a single device instead of slowly upgrading hardware over time.

In any case, I see two possibilities:

  1. VR gets so good it replaces traditional PCs, freeing up the funds used for that. (Apple might be going in that direction?)
  2. VR gets so cheap (while still good enough) that everyone wants one in addition to whatever they have. (Facebook tried that. Partial success, since the experience was very limited.)

Personally, I’m hoping for the first, and I’m expecting it to come by 2025.
