I usually spin counter ish, but it flips if you rotate it.

The great JFEGs of our time

Coincidentally I just started playing Earthbound (Maternalbound Redux ROM hack) this month. I’m just past the monkey cave. It’s charming, simple, fun. It’s great for my dad brain as right now I’m doing a lot of parenting and my brain isn’t able to handle something more complex.

I love the humor and the adult jokes.

I’m ok with an article, but I much prefer it when someone accompanies it with a discussion in the body or comments.

The generative AI and NFT concerns were overblown. His generative AI comment was from his other game, AI art imposter which has AI in the title. For crypto stuff, it’s likely because his company just chases trends. Say what you will about that, but to me a trend chaser is more innocuous than a grifter.

I wish this were an article/column, but it’s a brief video if you want a journalist’s perspective: https://youtu.be/mYBN5Er8qOs

Range anxiety is what pushed me to buy a Bolt over other EVs, but I do find that practically I don’t need as many kms as it offers, especially in the summer.

Opinion: 400km is overkill for city driving in warm climates. Half the battery/range would be fine for virtually all daily use. I know everyone will anecdotally state their use case on why 200km is insufficient, but that’s basically what the article is saying is part of the problem.

I love my bolt, but most other EVs are not its size. Only the i3 and the Mini come to mind.

The article doesn’t whiff on this, it lays out why it’s too expensive.

1. The strategy was to replace gas cars with EV 1-to-1 to solve the climate crisis and save the car industry.
2. Gas cars have gotten bigger over the years because of marketing, bravado, “safety”, and regulation-skirting.
3. EV-makers have largely bought into that and made all these huge EVs.
4. Huge EVs require bigger batteries which are more expensive in raw materials and manufacturing.
5. Huge batteries are heavy and dangerous.
6. Range anxiety has encouraged even more oversized batteries on already oversized cars.
7. Huge batteries are the main source of cost, meaning EVs end up being a luxury.

So, yes–they are too damn expensive, however a vehicle that meets our actual needs wouldn’t be, if it existed in North America.

I did not see the last sentence of your comment coming. Caught me by surprise.

You can edit the title. Maybe

Signal fights disinformation about fake zero-day vulnerability

I would probably recommend “Just JavaScript” as a way to develop mental models of JS, then the TypeScript handbook to learn the core principles behind typings.

Not what you asked for, sorry, but probably where I’d start.

Bright Eyes released the albums “Digital Ash in a Digital Urn” and “I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning” on the same day. They sort of answer this question where you can tell the artist was split on two different creative strands.

Thank Netflix for pioneering another movement in streaming.

I don’t really care to blame Netflix for Disney’s actions.

Oh well, luckily the open seas won’t turn me away.

I don’t have any words of consolement, but I’d just like to say that you were one of the first lemmy users I found on beehaw and I’ve enjoyed your comments and posts.

Good. Got my first piercings and started a project to convert a bakfiets to an ebike with a Bafang mid-drive motor.

That’s the joke

I switched from Nova/Pixel Launcher to KISS and it made my phone experience so much better.

Yep. I was a keto “success” story, felt like I could maintain lazy keto forever.

Then it hit me that I was literally scared of pasta.

I have friends that eat when they are hungry and aren’t guilty after having a milkshake. They never diet. They don’t stress about food or think about calories or macronutrients. They seem fine and often are athletic!

I wanted to get more of that. It cost me my flat stomach, but honestly just being able to enjoy good food without binging + binge regret is worth it alone. There are other benefits, too, but going anti-diet does require a different king of mental hardiness and effectively makes you counter culture.

It’s not easy telling people that I don’t want to lose weight or that I’m not watching what I eat. I try to avoid it. If they press it, I end up having to defend the idea that people can do what they want? I dunno. It’s a whole paradigm shift.

Anyway, I have mostly become one of the aforementioned people. I eat to my heart’s content and some might think I moderate when watching from afar, but IE is truly “no food rules”. When you don’t restrict, food becomes more neutral and thus regulation can become internal instead of a mental game of willpower and calorie/carb math.

I truly think it’s the best thing I’ve done for myself in years but I am always reluctant to spread the word because everyone’s journey with their body is hyper personal. Being anti-diet doesn’t mean you persecute people who do diet…that would be mean. Everyone is just doing their best.

Practicing intuitive eating repaired my relationship with food after 8 years of (maybe disordered) keto dieting. Then, I had to challenge body image issues—ongoing—but I feel so much better in my body and my relationship to food and movement than when I strictly dieted and exercised.

I love how sassy The Verge’s coverage of reddit is.
