Everyone has a powerful computer in their pockets but isn't able to use them to their full potential.

Android Desktop is actually pretty nice, the thing that makes it useless is that basically no android apps have desktop mode or hotkeys and mouse support (Chrome is half-assed and Firefox is wearing assless chaps) plus a lot of standard I-just-want-linux things are going to be wonky. If you're considing buying any hard-ware for the purpose of Android Desktop, you're almost always better off buying a laptop at the same $100-$400 price.

AR is pretty much dead on arrival for at least a decade because everyone willing to make the tech to back it up wants to give you a walled garden of ads (like replacing billboards with their own adds, adding animated ads to whatever blank surface you see, and whatever app you're using) and the only people who are willing to buy it at >$1000, 1>lbs, and early adopter quality only want it for business/hacker/utilitarian/gamer/influencer reasons who have a very low tolerance for ads and login-with-your-big-brother-account-walls meaning the supply/demand chart is like 5 total sales for actual Homo Economicus.

Applebees it

From isn't canceled yet.

I also didn't like the "I'm going to fuck off and let everyone else die" philosophy of not solving the climate issue at home.

No Country For Old Men - a slice of life movie about living in Texas.

S Darko was interesting because at it's core it's about the fact that women have to deal with twice as much bullshit

Interstellar is like Neo-Posadism minus Marxism. The premise was awesome. Climate apocalypse and space travel. But the movie doesn't have humanity solve either of those problems. Instead it pops it's collar and says *don't worry bro, the market Marxist space aliens some scientists a famous shirtless hot actor guy fuck you who cares the green guy behind a curtain made a worm hole or something".

All the websites that facilitate allowing the little guy to attempt to compete in a fair market will automatically send the little guy's copyrighted works into datasets for things like training LLMs. Companies will pop up to sell you the "service" of removing your work from training sets, but your work was already automatically re-sold to secondary dataset brokers. Every work the little guy creates will have to compete with the 10,000 "AI" "authored" works that came out during the time period it took to create the work.

IDK I'd assume anything uploaded more than 10 years ago needs to be re-encoded (but you should learn more about the old and new encodings before generalizing that blindly).

I've also had success removing embedded language audio tracks from a file that had 5+ languages from the original Blu-ray. Each language was over 1GB/per movie for a specific offending collection.

You can always write native apps or use rust. I don't recommend doing that unless perfectionism/being esoteric/learning is more important to you than just making the webapp.

The main issue with fb/TikTok is the 9 billion trackers and ads. So step 1. Don't do that.

Svelte/SolidJS are smaller/faster than react/ vue. React has the most tutorials, but I think vue is the easiest to learn.

Next, while working on your app (probably all of those use "vite" instead of web pack by now) meticulously watch your build size. Avoid installing giant dependencies if you can. If you have lots of options, pick libraries that are tree-shake-able. rollup-plugin-visualizer will help you visualize which Javascript file(s)/ dependencies are big. You'd be see surprised how many webapps that is basically 10kb of functionality ends up being 1MB of Javascript.

If your webapp is small you probably don't need to think too much more about this, but you could probably ask others to critique your code later.

It's possible none of those would technically be WW3 by itself, perhaps the start of heavier US commitment in the first of those conflicts might be perceived as the opportunity for the others to get started. Maybe even some less obvious conflicts are merely waiting for NATO to be preoccupied (e.g. random colonies being invaded or declaring independence). The US will be forced into taking at least one L, or switching back to a war economy.

• India vs Pakistan
• ISIS expansion
• Water Wars (multiple locations)
• USA invading Mexico
• Syrian Civil War
• Greenland War
  • IDK if Denmark can defend Greenland, but NATO could article5/split

I've heard of some, but like I've never heard of one being used by a leftist.

She's now considering getting wireless earbuds, but she's not a fan of having to recharge them to be able to use them, and is also cautious about the e-waste potential.

I was wondering if there exists a bluetooth device that connects to your phone, and the device itself is just a headphone jack.

if you run into this issue, don't buy anything.

I don't think someone should need to look up a guide on how to buy a video game without feeling scammed.

there goes all NFT/crypto games lol.

FOSS

AFAIK It's not even possible to sign up without a Google account, facebook account, or phone number. I'd like to signup in a way the US government can't revoke.

All the Linux details are weirdly off, like it's correct enough if you were copying someone's homework, but it's just wrong if you've actually done anything in linux.
