Why not be real and multi faceted in both thinking and writing? Trying to be perfect in writing just makes you plastic.

By the looks of it, I don't even think I'm replying to a human.

There are e-readers and DRM-free electronic libraries.

antics9 — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 22:19:02 +0000

I loved my MP01. However, GSM is not available anymore where I live.

I used the CAT S22 for a while but it just isn't the same.

If they release a 5G MP03 I might buy one. I don't see the point of a Punkt smartphone.

This looks good! I've seen other tries of shell scripting with lisp dialects but Redstart syntax looks more intuitive (from a shell scripting standpoint) and easy to read.

I really like his talk about basic income and communities role in fostering ideas:

”Although great new ideas are articulated by individuals they are nearly always generated by communities.”

And no mention in the article of the ways of culture that managed the systems.

New comment by antics9 in "Five minutes of exercise a day could lower blood pressure"

antics9 — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 08:52:23 +0000

I have a neighbour who's in his 60s. Blood pressure was of the charts while in his 40s. The guy was cycling to work everyday (and thought that was enough exercise) and was living a stressful family and work life.

Doctor never prescribed any drugs but told him that he had to start exercising. Signed up for judo class. He couldn't believe the amount of exercise he got from the warm up alone. Been doing judo 3 days a week for 20 years now. Haven't had any heart or blood pressure issues since.

It was an actual question for the community as these kind of questions usually generate perspectives and alternatives. There’s no need to read anything else into it.

What's the point of owning a gaming console? You don´t really own the games anyway; as in being able to hand them over to a friend or sell them on a second market.

Why not just stream the gameplay through big mainframes like Nvidia GaForce Now and the likes?

Per Wikipedia: "Firefox was created in 2002 under the codename "Phoenix" by members of the Mozilla community who desired a standalone browser rather than the Mozilla Application Suite bundle."

I do remember from the time that it actually was one young guy who made a strip down version of the Mozilla browser that then got incorporated as a Mozilla product and replaced the Mozilla browser some years after. I don't see that mentioned anywhere though. History says it was Blake Ross[1] coming from Netscape but I don't remember it that way.

It’s better and faster at rendering pdfs. You can even highlight in the pdf and lookup words in the dictionary.

This is on my Kobo Libra 2.

I do not find Pitivi stable, or beautiful.

Blender is easy to use if you want to start with basic editing.
