  • Extremism is a subjective marker, and I hope you'd never learn that yourself (:

    It is objectively true though that this person's autonomy was unlawfully disrupted for reasons inspired by herd mentality, magical thinking and egocentrism. That's before this kind of agenda being of it's own corporation with pipelines, money and supporters.

  • A nitpick, but America won't have Gitmo in that scenario tho. Displacing american people to random countries now is deeply rooted in the premise it's okay to have a torture camp franchized over to places out of everyone's sight. It wasn't okay before and it's not now, and serious country with some sense and a accountability would not employ such tactic.

  • Whatever he said or would say, it's a tempting concept that powerholders should be a tad bit afraid of being massive assholes when nothing else works. The right would theoretically get some martyr points if Don avoids the death to bloody diarea, but at the same time we all saw how scary it was to Shapiro and the likes when Charlie Kirk's neck found it's new turning point. Trump suddenly becoming an explosion of orange confetti is, obviously, a part of some accelerationist thought, but at the same time I believe it would decelerate things a lot because selfish grifters and gray cardinals of his presidency would be stopped in their tracks by pure shock and realization they are too made of flesh.

  • There are sweatshops, endless sweatshops, where human beings are no longer born, we are grown. For the longest time I wouldn't believe it, and then I saw the sweatshops with my own eyes. Watch them liquefy the dead so they could be fed intravenously to the living. And standing there, facing the pure horrifying precision, I came to realize the obviousness of the truth. What is China? Control. China is a commie generated dream world, built to keep us under control in order to change a human being into this.

  • Screen protectors I saw and used were portrait-only, meaning landscape orientation had viewing angles unchanged. If by video you mean shorts/tiktoks/reels, they are short form and it won't hurt to give it to them for 20 seconds, or, you know, put it a bit further from your face so both your faces are in the right angle.

    I don't see downsides in most phones coming with the kit in a box or pre-installed by default. There are apparently ways to make them cheap and shitty, like any phone accessory, but that's a question of quality, not the question of functionality. And I don't see why wider angles in portrait orientation are of any use.

  • After an article on Songo#5 that one sounded a bit dry. Maybe that's a side effect of prefering reliability over flashiness :) If there would be a second article about GammaOS, it wouldn't hurt to flesh out the process down to specific challenges the dev overcame, just anecdotes evolving while testing and fixing stuff, or talk about how community members participated in the development of said project, what opportunities Gamma sees there. And, for a really unique kind of gear I haven't heard of, I feel a bit puzzled as of what a second screen can bring onto the table when emulating single screen games, what other people came up with.

    Btw, there's a small typo in the Why the LineageOS? part, in image attributions concerning Fix/Fox person's photoes.

    Hi StarTrek.website, I'm Karim Diané aka Jay-Den Kraag from Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, AMA! (Responding to questions Thursday @4pm!)

  • What was your top reference going into acting in Star Trek? What personal twists you added to that?

  • Do you read books on your phone?

    Jump

  • Yep, and I do this both on my noname e-ink reader and my phone (fb2reader or moon reader apps there). Downloaded audiobooks, whole another beast, are great in Voice app from F-Droid, if you choose this path.

    I didn't find it inconvinient to read on smaller button phones before and the difference between a dedicated healthier device and a modern smartphone mostly escapes me. This obviously excludes PDFs and manga/comics not adapting to your screen size like a basic e-book in epub/fb2 formats, so if you stick to one of those formats - you'd want an A5-paper sized device or more.

    Worse problem with some book for me is not a medium or an interface to consume it, but a lack of concentration, interest and/or habit. Life finds a way, and if you got captured by a book, you'd stop to see or care how you eat through it. But for a regular reading routine it'd be great to think of when and where you'd dedicate some time to enjoy literature, so it'd gain a momentum with you.

  • Do you read books on your phone?

    Jump

  • It depends on how long the book is and how were audio files compressed. I'd put an average of 450MBs per book as I inspect my non-app direct downloads, with 6 Dune books being 2,5GB, more individual ones been from 250MBs to 1GB. If you reconvert them yourself, you can set the target bitrate => size to barely tolerable levels if you will, and keep in mind that's still hours upon hours of joy, they worth it, and for tough books you can download them in parts. Idk how tight your space budget is, but I found it's pretty nice that the whole Dark Tower cycle by Stephen King, being cleverly shrinked by the uploader, took only 6,5GBs while giving me a month-long ride.

    Compared to most PDFs and EPUBs, audio is obviously a very bloated data source, but at the same time it provides a lot of advantages pure text can't.
