Everyone has a powerful computer in their pockets but isn’t able to use them to their full potential.

Android Desktop is actually pretty nice, the thing that makes it useless is that basically no android apps have desktop mode or hotkeys and mouse support (Chrome is half-assed and Firefox is wearing assless chaps) plus a lot of standard I-just-want-linux things are going to be wonky. If you’re considing buying any hard-ware for the purpose of Android Desktop, you’re almost always better off buying a laptop at the same $100-$400 price.

AR is pretty much dead on arrival for at least a decade because everyone willing to make the tech to back it up wants to give you a walled garden of ads (like replacing billboards with their own adds, adding animated ads to whatever blank surface you see, and whatever app you’re using) and the only people who are willing to buy it at >$1000, 1>lbs, and early adopter quality only want it for business/hacker/utilitarian/gamer/influencer reasons who have a very low tolerance for ads and login-with-your-big-brother-account-walls meaning the supply/demand chart is like 5 total sales for actual Homo Economicus.

Applebees it

From isn’t canceled yet.

I also didn’t like the “I’m going to fuck off and let everyone else die” philosophy of not solving the climate issue at home.

No Country For Old Men - a slice of life movie about living in Texas.

S Darko was interesting because at it’s core it’s about the fact that women have to deal with twice as much bullshit

Interstellar is like Neo-Posadism minus Marxism. The premise was awesome. Climate apocalypse and space travel. But the movie doesn’t have humanity solve either of those problems. Instead it pops it’s collar and says *don’t worry bro, the market Marxist space aliens some scientists a famous shirtless hot actor guy fuck you who cares the green guy behind a curtain made a worm hole or something".

A better question would be, for any world building detail that’s good in HP, what’s the better story she ripped it from?

All the websites that facilitate allowing the little guy to attempt to compete in a fair market will automatically send the little guy’s copyrighted works into datasets for things like training LLMs. Companies will pop up to sell you the “service” of removing your work from training sets, but your work was already automatically re-sold to secondary dataset brokers. Every work the little guy creates will have to compete with the 10,000 “AI” “authored” works that came out during the time period it took to create the work.

IDK I’d assume anything uploaded more than 10 years ago needs to be re-encoded (but you should learn more about the old and new encodings before generalizing that blindly).

I’ve also had success removing embedded language audio tracks from a file that had 5+ languages from the original Blu-ray. Each language was over 1GB/per movie for a specific offending collection.

You can always write native apps or use rust. I don’t recommend doing that unless perfectionism/being esoteric/learning is more important to you than just making the webapp.

The main issue with fb/TikTok is the 9 billion trackers and ads. So step 1. Don’t do that.

Svelte/SolidJS are smaller/faster than react/ vue. React has the most tutorials, but I think vue is the easiest to learn.

Next, while working on your app (probably all of those use “vite” instead of web pack by now) meticulously watch your build size. Avoid installing giant dependencies if you can. If you have lots of options, pick libraries that are tree-shake-able. rollup-plugin-visualizer will help you visualize which Javascript file(s)/ dependencies are big. You’d be see surprised how many webapps that is basically 10kb of functionality ends up being 1MB of Javascript.

If your webapp is small you probably don’t need to think too much more about this, but you could probably ask others to critique your code later.

They’re not technically minorities if they live in mainland China.

I think it’s only better relative to cost, it’s not technicality better in absolute quality of output.

I think it’s going to be cool for all the future Chinese explorers after the US finishes agricultural collapse, supply chain collapse, biodiversity collapse, defeudalization, etc. And then they get to explore all our ruins and meet wandering post-digital nomads.

Posadism but replace aliens with China.

Orange Dog Bad.

If any of those actually existed as presented, no monkey’s pawsing (ads, microtransactions, pay to win, etc.), are we even sure they’d have long-term replayability?

TBH 2000-2010 of my life was awesome, no amount of bullying me in highschool for my accent can take this away from me.

2010-2020 honestly sucked.
