- A PDA... Portable Distraction Accessory. Or maybe that should be Plywood...
- And nobody else is doing better software wise because Apple is secretive about how to program the hardware. Asahi is not sufficient.
- From what I have been seeing about ADHD lately, using the adrenaline of last-minute time pressure to get things done is a common ADHD coping mechanism.
- And up until about ten years ago, the psychiatric profession considered ASD and ADHD to be mutually exclusive conditions.
- Pastor of Muppets
- An elderly friend of mine has been receiving Coinbase security alerts. Needless to say, she has never used the site and has no crypto.
- Trying to get through every day on 3-5 hours sleep is not a minor inconvenience.
- If my memory serves, the stated justification for not going open source was copyright and trademark protection. Apparently, that is no longer a concern, if it ever really was.
Now I'm bracing for them to drop support for Java Edition entirely and go strictly Bedrock in a couple of years.
Perhaps Minecraft 2.0 is finally nearing release.
- Apple could have my money in exchange for their hardware. I won't even ask for support. They just need to provide the hardware specifications to Linux developers.
- No analysis of the association of the mass media owners to the political party in or out of power?
Traditional media are still political thought leaders. In the US, the media is giving cover to the fascist takeover of government.
- My mind initially went to a government cover-up, but then:
> 27th of September 2025, The fire is believed to have been caused while replacing Lithium-ion batteries. The batteries were manufactured by LG, the parent company of LG Uplus (the one that got hacked by the APT).
Could the battery firmware have been sabotaged by the hacker to start the fire?
- And how has Australia ended up in a similar situation[1] - coming this December?
My guess is that the common factor is News Corporation pushing an agenda on behalf of the very, very wealthy.

- Usually means "based on facts".[1]
Here, probably used ironically.
- Yes. One Minecraft game tick is 50 milliseconds. 20tps means "no physics lag".
- Nope. It's just sugar. [1]
It's somewhat implicit in the JVM spec, but functions are always bound to classes as methods. [2] The only kinds of heap objects you can have a reference to are class instances and arrays. [3]
The lack of free functions is really only a minor inconvenience for language implementers. Clojure, for instance, just compiles new classes to hold functions as methods.
From a programmer's perspective, you can write lambdas, but again, it's just syntactic sugar over an inner class.

- Which is interesting to me because, ironically, I use sativa strains to (very successfully) overcome ASD-related social anxiety so that I can go rock climbing in a gym. I use sedating indicas for the evening wind-down and sleep.
- Landed gentry complaining that their country estate is not as picturesque as it once was.
- And honestly, not supporting kernel level rootkits is a feature, not a bug.
- I too, have always had success using NVIDIA cards with my Fedora Linux. I suspect that the people who have problems are doing something differently, like running the proprietary installer instead of using packages (RPM Fusion's akmod-nvidia packages in the case of Fedora).
