My SO is happy with her Sony of a smaller size but when I do anything with that phone I feel like it's sort of lacking in capabilities compared to the phones I typically use. We don't really have the same usecases for a device though.

Yes, this runs in a lot of automotive embedded devices. Since Aptiv owns it now, I don't see it going away anytime soon.

I try to do this and it _seems_ to be working okay. Facebook has not given me a correct/interesting recommendation in ages and google thinks I'm a different age and various other things that are not true when I look at their collected information.

Ah, the days of farming glowing brightwood staff.

If this is a joke: yes.

If this is not a joke: no.

It's a use the right tool for the job thing. Fortran is very fast, used primarily for scientific computing in various fields - not a lot of people are writing general purpose code in Fortran. Of course you can do it, but it's not a great experience and you'd spend a lot more time doing work you'd rather already have tools for.

One of the new PS4 emulators is written in FreePascal, I see new projects popping up every now and then.

This is great, actually thinking of building something similar for a game I'm working on, but other way around really. OS in game instead of game in OS. :)

I personally worry a lot about retirement both from a money and health perspective. Reading some answers to this thread was heartbreaking. I need to take better care of myself.

I wash Really hoping for some wireshark goodness in that thread!

+1 for MX. Been using it for a while and I love it.

Can someone explain to me what in the statement from Debian is "anarco-capitalist FUD"? I find it quite reasonable overall.

The design of this website reminds me of a better internet.

I go in blind with some authors too but more often then not I just spoil it anyways, even if I know I can trust the author. Because the journey is still what matters. :)

Which in turn is super weird to me, is what I'm saying :)

It sure would! And I have, as long as I can convince people to spoil things for me! :)

Haha, maybe. If you live in Sweden. But I'm guessing by your username that you are a few years older than me. However, I have read books in the wrong order!

I really wonder when all this changed. I seem to have this idea, that I share with many others that software houses back in the day explicitly didn't care much about piracy because it got people hooked on their software and in the end enterprise would foot the bill.

I'm not sure how true this was, as I've yet to see any real official sources speaking about this myself but it seems like it was like that. But most of my thoughts about this comes from being in the piracy space back in the days so I really have no idea if this was ever a real thing or not.

I agree with all of this.

>I actually dislike the antsy "what happens next" feeling

This part is especially true for content that is supposed to be.. cringe.. embarrassing.. sort of? Like imagine things like a comedy or drama that is supposed to evoke those feelings. I can't take it. It physically hurts. Sometimes I have to pause or stop watching. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was such a movie, I just couldn't finish it. I read about the story instead and figured out what was going to happen and then I could watch it, no problem.

It's like I understand the meaning of what you are saying but not really comprehending the feeling of it. I honestly get the same edge of the seat feeling with new media as with old media, even if I know what is going to happen. I get the same dopamine from a good story whether I know about it or not, so for me it's always better to know because then I also know if it's worth watching or reading.

I do the same, but also with mystery content. I re-read stuff on and off as well. Also re-watch movies and shows too. If I like something, I like something.

I very rarely get surprised even if I do read a book from page 1 to X and don't read ahead. Not sure why that is.

This is sorta funny to me as when I read I can sometimes skip several chapters ahead or to the end of the book, even with movies and shows I can watch them in whatever order. What happens later in a story has no impact at all on whether I will like the road to it. Most of the time I find myself not even remembering the parts ahead when I re-read them either, or just vaguely remembering them.

I've had it explained to me many many times, the thing about surprises and plot twists and whatever but really it doesn't phase me at all.

I don't "get" spoilers. Like I don't care at all. Sometimes I will read a book and think it's getting too slow so I will jump on youtube and see a summary or head to a fandom wiki article or whatever. And then I will happily read it again. Spoilers do not spoil anything for me and I don't get why it would spoil anything for others.

People recommend me stuff and tip-toe around not to spoil anything and I will tell them to tell me all of it, I want to know if I should invest time into this thing they are recommending. Every single time people tell me no, read it, and don't respect the idea that someone is different from them. Give me the contents or I won't read it at all.

I am used to others not wanting spoilers, and it seems I'm quite unique in this regard, so I generally try to never spoil stuff, but I still don't quite get it.

Just another step towards total surveillance, nothing new under the sun.

I guess I have a new obsession now.

Thank you!
