This universe being unfriendly to interstellar and especially intergalactic travel would seriously hamper a galactic civilization, and thus be less likely for us to notice them.

There might be hundreds of civilizations out there, each having only expanded to a few dozen stars, not caring to go further. Even the makeup of the interstellar medium might be incredibly dangerous, basically necessitating generation ships to cross. Large scale expansion might simply be too hard.

Don’t forget plastics and pesticides! Those get everywhere, and many are bioavailable by design.

Kelp farms? Domesticated bamboo? We need large areas of land to grow food anyway, we just skipped the charcoal agriculture step. Lathes and the three plate method are the real heroes of industry any way.

A slower ascension into the computing age could mean a more stable set of cultures and a more uniform global situation to avoid anthropogenic filters. Bright candles and all that.

It might have something to do with the available elements.

We live in a population I star system, full of crap spewed out from long dead stars. Perhaps it is exactly this crap (like copper, iron, nickle, manganese, and possibly the bulk of carbon and nitrogen) that allow life to develop with enough agility to survive mass extiction events with any kind of complexity.

Or perhaps it’s exactly those mass extiction events that have allowed enough breathing room for new paradigms to take hold. Maybe our 5-7 mass extictions that didn’t end life entirely are exactly what is needed to prevent stagnation. We just happen to be on the edge of dead and too slow.

It’s usually stored inside the key fob.

I usually call that flushing

Do the ECU and the cabin equipment run on the same computer? Can you tune the vehicle from the driver’s seat?

My angle was more about all rules being social contructs, and said rules being important for the continued operation of society, but that’s a good angle too.

Lots of laws don’t come with real punishments either, especially if you have money. We can change this too.

All laws are just words on peices of paper. Why should you care?

Mint and Debian are great, and once you set everything as you like it, they’re pretty solid. Pop_OS is easy if you have an Nvidia GPU too.

As for comparability, proton has all but settled the issue. The SteamDeck runs on Linux after all. Take a look on Proton Database to check if a game works well or not. FWIW, every game I’ve tried save one has been flawless, and that one did things with files and wallpapers.

If you have a second computer you don’t need working, I’d recommend just trying something on it, switch distributions now and then. See how far you can get with just Linux.

Even easier, pick video lengths.

<1min, 1-10min, 10-30min, 30-60min, 60min+.

I’d use that all the time.

It’s pretty close right now, especially since steamdeck and proton. Take a look at protonDB, see if there’s a critical mass of your main games to try again?

I can give them props for trying something, sure. Too bad that something looks like it was left in the sun next to a mirror.

I think it would be a lot better if the layers matched, instead of being kinda random.

It almost makes me think the higher ups got paid to kill Unity. All the C-suite got golden parachutes if they kill the project now.

Then I remember OGL and the fat lack of competition they had, and remember C-suite often don’t know what they’re actually in charge of. Malice vs stupidity and such.

And also “every finite number is contained within PI” but with words.

Another thing that I need to charge and more drain on the phone, when the phone is right there? And I still need to mess with cables? Plus $146 is more than I’ve spent on audio equipment in my entire life. This feels like the worst of both worlds for me.

Rough estimate, 30%. Either because my point ended up not being worth making, I ended up being wrong, or the message was dumped at some point between switching through 4 apps and 12 websites gathering information and I can’t be arsed to write 400 words again.

C to HDMI doesn’t sound that bad, so just have 3-5 USB-C ports on the phone.

I use wired headphones easily 80% of the time I use any electronic device capable of sound, and >99% of the time I’m actually listening to that sound. I would sooner take a phone without speakers than without a dedicated 3.5mm jack. (I could be convinced with two USB-C ports though)

I don’t need more weight on my ears, another thing that can die, either buds that can be lost or an all-in-one that can’t survive my pocket, and I definitely don’t need another drain on my phone’s battery. I’m not against Bluetooth headphones in general (I do use an over-ear set occasionally), but they will never be my go-to.

A proper poll on use time/duty cycle would be interesting.

Try some sports/exercise focused earbuds, they tend to be more durable.
