You can ban them for yourself by monitoring your own internet use, deleting mobile apps (and/or disabling notifications) and reducing news consumption in general. All of which are pretty solid protocols for most people to follow 365 days / year, actually.
I’d check out Leechblock NG (for Firefox and Chrome) if you need a short vacation from Lemmy or any other websites.
You could argue that China has devolved into a totalitarian state under Xi. There’s a lot of corruption surrounding the party’s Ministry of Railways, which has led to some perverse incentives to invest (possibly way too much) in HSR and urban metro networks across all of the country. And thanks to the extremely centralized power structure, you have a lot of standardized components used to roll out those networks, making construction cheaper and faster due to economies of scale.
Tldr; China’s rail infra is pretty great, especially when so many of its cities are very rough around the edges otherwise. That said, East Asia’s democracies (Taiwan, S. Korea and Japan) also have excellent transportation networks, so who knows.
Will try that out, thanks! I’ve enjoyed the Libby app a lot on an old ipad mini, bet they have a similar infinite scroll feature somewhere
Haven’t listened to any, but think I’d have a hard time hearing someone talk for that long. Really enjoy the silence of books
Reading novels (or just fiction, in general). Not sure why but I simply lost the ability to do it a few years ago. Still like to read a couple of nonfiction books every month, but feel like I’m missing something lately
Ideally I’d have access to both- i.e., a ‘home base’ in the city, plus a small place to stay out in the woods somewhere, preferably less than 20 mins on foot from a commuter train. Continuing to avoid driving would be great
What’s the advantage vs. the current version?
Also looks like it’s removing an important visual affordance (i.e., which areas you can click to drag the window), unless I’m misinterpreting it
Basic functions like web browsing are borderline unusable on the OG pinephone, unfortunately. Still a fun device to hack away at, but I wouldn’t use it as a phone
No, at least not in countries (e.g., the USA) that rely on the state to micromanage every aspect of zoning, and which therefore allow NIMBYs to derail progress at every possible step.
In a better world we would draft new laws to throw out our entire zoning system, and start over with something much more flexible at the state or national level- ideally based on the approach Japan uses, which defaults to mixed-use for every building and makes NIMBYism structurally impossible.
No. Actors are participating in storytelling, and ‘evil’ characters are just an exercise in symbolism and mythmaking.
Usually it’s just one program per virtual desktop, and maybe a second (briefly) for one-off terminal commands, etc.
The whole point for me is to avoid wasting time moving a mouse around or manually manipulating anything.
There are lots of things I could criticize Japan for, but the country’s approach to zoning and land use is just objectively the best. Japan’s cities and overall built environment are obviously better than ours (in the US) to such a ridiculous degree, that I’m not sure why we don’t send all of our municipal planners over there to just take notes.
Is that an argument in favor of glued-in batteries, though? A lot of users’ phones aren’t going to make it for six years if it’s non-trivial (or impossible) to swap out the battery for a new one.
If you haven’t played Riven yet, that game was a huge improvement on every aspect of Myst IMO. Still completely holds up
I’d only set one up if it were fully open-source and self-hosted. It looks like there are a couple of options out there that meet those criteria (like Mycroft), but I haven’t looked into it enough yet.
“Freddy Got Fingered”. So stupid and obnoxious that it might actually be brilliant. Arguably
Started having the same issue during covid lockdowns. What works for me now is:
I keep a .dotfiles folder in my home dir, use syncthing to back up those files on a couple of other computers, and then (on a new install) just make the actual config files symlinks to those files.
The ‘general’ package has basically fixed that for me:

Makes it pretty simple to swap out most common emacs shortcuts for much more ergonomic alternatives.
