Is your keyboard breeding Bolsheviks?

To this day bunker buster bombs consist of cardboard poster tubes filled Nokia phones.

Even when she was made up to be ugly they couldn’t bring themselves to mess with her perfect tits though. They didn’t commit that much.

Regardless of whether this is the whole story or not, the advice at the bottom to at least limit your CF dependence is a good idea.

What is the point of asking questions you can easily google? Finding answers probably isn’t your motivation.

The background of it in video form is basically this: https://youtu.be/thqbjA2DC-E

Due to geopolitics and war, specific airlines may not be allowed (or want to) fly through another countries air space. That’s what’s happening. Ukraine war made a lot of routes longer and more complicated because a lot of airlines started avoiding Ukraine (due to war) and Russia (due to war but also sanctions, since by internal treaty Russia could collect fees if airlines fly through their airspace).

This but unironically

At the Las Vegas airport do they have a version of this where you can bet on the alcohol percentage of the mix?

VR has been around in modern form for more than a decade and the only truly novel and useful application is some types of gameplay.

There are a few other legitimate applications. Architects can offer people a 1st person view of a designed building. There are already companies that let people do VR walkthrough of homes they’re considering buying rather than in person open houses (I think this started in the pandemic).

These things have value but they’re niche applications that can be done with any VR headset.

Has anyone identified the “killer app” yet?

I still don’t see it. I watched a lot of review vids just because it was interesting but I don’t see a single thing that the Vision Pro can do that can’t be done better with other devices.

The tech and computation required for those avatar things is amazing . It might get much better soon. But even if it does, will it be better than simple FaceTime type video conferences?

It’s not clear to me how apple even imagines people using the thing.

This is just a less gross version of “DAE store their piss in jars so they can commemorate their unitary secretions”?

It’s an interesting definition of humanity, but certainly not a definitive one.

Q: increases the gravitational constant of the cart collection area until all the carts fall into it. Keeps going until a singularity forms and the planet is destroyed.

Classic.

You put your dick into it didn’t you?

That’s fair, the privacy concerns are not ultimately addressable with a closed-source application. I can encrypt communication and the db itself since I am self-hosting it, but ultimately I’m using the obsidian app on desktop and mobile so I don’t know where the data is going unless I specifically manage it’s network usage etc which is a ton of extra work.

I haven’t actually started taking notes with obsidian yet, I just got it setup. But the plugin support is…massive. IDK.

Yes I probably should have implemented that, but the Obsidian plugin implementation (“Self-hosted Live sync”) appears to work almost shockingly well. I was amazed by how easy it was to setup . Setting up a couchdb instance took more time than getting sync going across all my devices, and couchdb wasn’t that hard either.

I recently settled on Obsidian too. It’s proprietary software, but the text files themselves are in simple markdown and readable in a text editor. Additionally, you can sync across multiple devices using their paid service (which works flawlessly for everything) or set up sync yourself for free if you know how to host a couchdb instance yourself (works perfectly for everything except iOS, apparently).

The plugin support was baked in from the start so it’s extremely flexible.
