Another Lemmy thread on the same article.

Cf. https://derp.foo/post/399415

All three not just proprietary but also expensive, unless you copy them off a Mac OS install.

Never had a mini or nano so those may have been closer to 100-150.

I looked up the original pricing for the 2008 Nano: 8GB = 150€$ and 16GB = 200€$. I am no longer sure whether I had the 8 GB or 16 GB variant. But it does not matter really. I'd want 64 GB minimum and Bluetooth with proper codecs on a new device anyway.

Thanks! I looked at it. And ultimately, just comparing dimensions, it's really not the same thing as the Ipod Nano. But maybe I'll take a deeper look at the R2 II.

For one, 200 currency units is a lot of money, even my late Ipod only cost 150cu, and it was widely recognized as being a little overpriced at the time. For two, I find physical buttons (or actually: something tactile for my fingers) a major benefit, i.e. a device that is not completely touchscreen-driven. Is there anything like that? (It may seem like I am moving the goalposts, sorry. But it's more of a clarification.)

Ooh, how'd I miss that..?

Uhm, so what's the name of the binary? This is just a list of open files. I missed that it's "more"...

I've tried it. But quality of modern MP3 players really has gone downhill. I used to have a Samsung and later an Apple MP3 player and both were better than the stuff Sandisk sells these days.

If it weren't for the absolutely idiotic way the battery was built into my Ipod Nano and the quasi-exodus of supporting apps on Linux, I would still use it. Phones are huge/heavy, always connected, you get interrupted by messages and calls, and many of them force Bluetooth headsets.

I am saying reduce the number of cars, but not to zero. I'd guess that in developed nations, maybe 20% or 30% of cars are actually needed (obviously depending on the country and the local level of car use). Similarly, some percentage of animal products is actually useful even in developed nations (for now), e.g. for pregnant women or people with weird allergies.

And of course, society needs to support lifestyle choices for them to be viable. That's the same for veganism and a life without a car.

At this point, the number of cars is about as disconnected from human progress as the consumption of animal products is. Much like we could easily remove the majority of animal product consumption, we could also remove the majority of cars and car miles.

Isn't roadkill another symptom of human cruelty, i.e. building roads and cars, creating a death trap that cuts through eco systems? The only real difference is that roadkill exists because of carelessness rather than intention.

Three walls with just a light paint, one wall with a color or patterns. I really like the Asanoha pattern (Japanese hemp leaf).

Ctrl-Shift-C works in many GUI emulators.

The settings are not an exact match between desktops, even though they are named the same. The backend library, Freetype, that renders fonts is the same, however.

This really depends on your use case and your screen size/portability/power requirements. Laptops with AMD processors tend to be the better choice in terms of power/battery life. I would probably skip Z series, E series, and ThinkBooks.

I am not aware of an article summarizing his greatest hits. Principally, he's a person who talks a lot and likes some mild conspiratorial thinking. From what I gather, he's also a liability for anyone who ever employed him in their marketing department, because he's only interested in furthering his own brand. He does make a lot of videos these days, so I guess you can decide for yourself if you like him and his style. :)

Originates from Lunduke. Yikes.

I'll take a pro shaman over that ass clown.

Pre-Brexit, an ID card was actually enough to enter the UK. I guess that may have changed since. (Also, Germany.)

I mean, I didn't have a passport for most of my adulthood either. As long as you only travel within the Schengen area and you live in a country that has ID cards, you don't need a passport.

You're saying this because of the IASIP episode, right?
