As others have already said, no, direct overhead sun actually doesn’t happen in a sizable chunk of the world. But I’ll add some personal experience:

I’ve lived at northern latitudes my whole life and two things are always weird when I visit equatorial regions: 1) experiencing true “noon” or true overhead sun 2) the incredibly short sunsets. I also always end up getting fucking roasted by sunburn on vacation, not understanding the power of tropical overhead sun’s radiation intensity. Even if I know it intellectually, I never remember it well enough to avoid getting burned because I can be outside at home in the sun for a lot longer.

Amazing that they can consider a car being on an airplane more easily than imagining someone wanting their car to not be spying on them

Yes it’s basically a steam deck minus screen with a few extra bits. But the trackpad and Steam input and on screen keyboard are all the same as Steam deck

Does that mean if it’s the first time I’ve heated this canned tuna I’m in the clear?

I have used both, and while glove80 is ultimately more comfortable due to the key well, I typically never use the “FN” row keys on g80, so losing the extra keys wasn’t a big deal. The size, layout, and built in trackpads on go60 are all amazing. When I was using glove80, I was using a miryoku-style layout that has only six layers, so likewise having six thumb keys per hand feels kinda overkill like the extra upper FN row felt for me on the fingers. Ultimately I feel like a glove60 (less keys, but also with the built in trackpads from go60) would be my “perfect” keyboard since I’m not regularly traveling or commuting with my keyboard. But until something like that ever happens, the trade offs for go60 are all worth it and I ended up getting rid of my glove80 after I was sure I wouldn’t regret the switch.

The go60 is fantastic, I’ve been using one since it came out and it’s exactly what I needed from a split keyboard

Yeah it does and it’s the only part of LTT I watch anymore. The main channel videos are pretty awful, not well informed enough to actually get good info, but also not really entertaining enough to watch for fun.

Things were never the same after the 1913 San Luis Obispo Nunchaku Massacre

Gottem

Holy shit, backlogged into 2027? I really wanted to buy two on release day, but by the time I managed to get through the chaos I ended up with only one, and as a result I can’t even queue again. Not complaining and I feel very lucky to have one, but it’s insane that there’s no way to get a second one for a long time

I think we’re going to see a lot more of this kind of thing because supply chain attacks are “cheap” to hack together with LLMs now. The attackers are just fishing, if 1 in a million of the people who get infected has a valuable or monetizable credential that they can exfiltrate, they’ll make their money back. Just like phone and text spam became ubiquitous when jank-ass phones and sims became cheap, supply chain and low effort hacking campaigns will become prevalent when jank-ass programming becomes cheap.

CachyOS, which is one of the fastest growing distros and gets haphazardly recommended to tons of gaming refugees, ships with paru by default. Millions of forums, search results and LLM outputs encourage those same users to install stuff from AUR.

Any arch distro that has a sizeable non technical user base should know better than to ship or encourage using AUR. Shit like this is how we kill the “Year of the Linux desktop”.

Max speed for the average (50th percentile) for the commuting population, sure, I believe that. Did you mean to actually question whether or not the other user can actually ride a bike above 25kmh maximum? I would imagine the 70th percentile of regular commuting cyclists could easily exceed that on flat ground if they needed to.

My average speed on commuting rides is around 30kmh, ~18mph. My maximum speed on rides I regularly do for commuting is ~55kmh. Downhill, of course. Not all of us live in flatland.

For whatever it’s worth, despite regularly riding at that speed I am 1000% in support of speed limits on dedicated mixed use lanes. 25kmh is a reasonable speed limit to put on bike lanes IMHO. I’m riding along a rural road when commuting because I have no other choice. If I was in a mixed use path I wouldn’t feel comfortable at all going that speed.

We’re already their slaves. And terraforming takes a colossal amount of energy and a ton of time. Despite all the problems we keep creating for our selves, the Earth is too perfect and “easy” to ditch in favor of a non earthlike colony that requires terraforming, IMHO

I’m gonna need you to back up at least 15 Crunchwrap Supremes away from me, me and my Baja Blast feel threatened

Yes we need more of those, everyone loves eternal retcons and multiverse plots. Anything to keep us safe from the horror of “new IP” or “new plots and characters”.

As someone living in the USA going into my late 30s still without kids, you nailed it. We’ve been married for 10 years. In a different world, we might have had a kid at some point in the last 5, but between covid and climate change and the second Trump term and the general sense that everything is about to implode, it doesn’t really make us feel inspired to try.

To be clear, at the moment we have everything we would need to be parents if we wanted to. But the prospect of subjecting a kid to young adulthood in the 2040s seems brutal. We’re what I would consider “nudge-able” into having a kid or two, but the world keeps giving us nothing but nudges in the direction of choosing to be childfree for life.

Random example from this year: we keep getting barraged with news slop about how our jobs are about to all be replaced by LLMs or the economy is about to collapse under the weight of the LLM bubble. Not particularly reassuring. I realize there’s no perfect time to have kids and tons of people make it work, but as a couple who have always been in the “maybe” camp, inaction feels like the only thing a logical person would choose, year after year after year.

We don’t have many years left where it’s actually viable, and frankly I can’t imagine it’s going to change.

This isn’t really an answer to your question, but you should honestly try Netrunner. It’s a cool game that previously was originally created by Richard Garfield, briefly lived at WotC and then was rebooted and run by Fantasy Flight Games as Android: Netrunner, but now is 100% community managed.

https://nullsignal.games/ is the community managing the game, they release new expansions about once a year and run tournaments. You can print and play the game 100% for free and there is no artificial scarcity. The community is small but active. A new expansion just came out in early March, Vantage Point. They also maintain a set of “starter decks” for newbies.

You can also play online for free at https://jinteki.net/ - people there are very welcoming and many are very happy to teach new players.

It uses TMR sticks which are similar and in some ways better. The hall sensors technology but a little different

Assistive technology as a back door to normalizing use for able bodied people is a pretty common playbook at this point. AirPods use a ton of tech pioneered in the hearing aid, for example, and a lot of consumers were put off by them initially, but 10 years later they’ve become incredibly normalized.

So as much as I agree with you that people with paralysis are an optimal case, it’s good to be careful about allowing public perception to slowly morph over time
