But think about arguing online! It's apparently a hobby and to be competitive, you need to be able to spew bullshit at amazing rates. Personally I've maxed out at 140 wpm, but usually stay in the 100 wpm range.

Programming? Idk, I spend more time thinking than typing personally. Good code requires you to consider all the corner cases and such.

Facebook 15 years ago wasn't all that bad tbh. It was nice being able to write to just about anyone you met in real life.

It'd already been getting worse for a while, but to me, the 2016 US election was when things got super obvious. Same with reddit. Can't believe it's been 8 years already.

This shit right here is why people buy Apple. You sell your soul to the devil and get convenience in return.

Don't get me wrong - both my work laptop and my gaming PC run Linux. But my phone is still an iPhone and if I ever have need for a personal laptop again, it's gonna be a Macbook Air again.

Live in Estonia. Went on a bicycle trek once. "Hmm, I've barely seen any cars today. Like even on asphalt roads."

Second biggest city in Estonia was 25 km away. It wasn't even a remote location and there was just nobody around

If it's only a few people? Who cares. I wouldn't. You want to occasionally get some new blood in your community.

If hundreds of people start moving there, it's gonna turn to shit eventually.

Gender neutral pronouns might be pretty huge too, but nobody's private data is getting hacked because of gendered pronoun use.

I hope it succeeds just enough to take the right wing nutters off YouTube and give YouTube an incentive to improve its service. But that it stays unsuccessful enough that it keeps burning a hole in Elon's pocket

There's a saying in my language that roughly translates to "the morning is wiser than the evening" in English. I believe in English it's common to say "sleep on it" for tough decisions.

I often wake up and come up with a solution to my toughest problems from the previous day. My REM sleep brain is already keeping me gainfully employed.

No idea why anyone would want to fuck with this. It's awesome.

I saw the tagline and thought it meant that REM sleep is the next big thing people invest in because sleep is good for your health so they're selling solutions to boost your sleep quality

Boy was I wrong

At the... Ugh idk. They all have super thin paint nowadays. Especially the more expensive brands.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 35 points 2 months ago (2 children)

However, one obstacle remains: the paint is six times thicker than the usual coating on the car body surface. The substance is also more expensive, which would add to the total cost of a new vehicle.

That, in turn, makes it difficult for the coating material to be utilized for mass-produced passenger automobiles.

With 6 times thicker paint there's a chance it also wouldn't rust like a proper Nissan and we can't have that, now can we

The replacement you're talking about is called [CAMM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAMM_(memory_module)) and personally I'm excited about it. Not only does it support faster speeds than SO-DIMM, it takes up less physical space. And I believe you can't even put LPDDR on a SODIMM, so CAMM should also use less power?
