Strangely enough, Bedrock is har to use on Linux. Java is so much better though.

There was a lot of work done behind the scenes to make sure that all those systems still worked. Probably too much, but it did work.

Home button? Where? I don’t see one.

Do you mean the navigation bar at the bottom? That can be changed in OS settings.

Even better, no straw. Sip it straight from the cup.

The crucifix is an implement of torture and execution, upon which the titular Christian god was executed to fulfill a blood oath. Executionists, torturers, blood magicians, nailers, death cultists, the forsaken (Psalm 22)…

Being shephered by a higher authority is also a common theme. Sheep is right there, although some actually use that directly.

Another common theme is the second arrival of their god, starting the end of the mortal realm and the death of all mortals. Death cultists again, apocalyptics, doomsdayers…

There’s lots of heinous things in their book, but most reject them or are unaware. You could call out lots of things there.

The dot-com bubble isn’t the internet. The internet existed long before and continued to grow after. Companies that used digital posters on the internet had a crash, but the internet kept growing.

Digital posters do still have a use today, and there are still companies running on promises, but digital promises are simple and cheap. AI is not. At least not in this form.

Big tech hype will continue after this tech hype bubble pops, but that doesn’t mean the tech is good.

This was more like leaving all your valuables in a cardboard box on your front lawn. Anyone can just take it, if they care to look inside the complete unsecured box.

Someone just drove up and tossed the box in their truck. No lock involved.

Interesting that the dagger shares it origin with the division symbol (÷).

Recycling paper (or not recycling) is far better than plastic is every respect. It’s not so much futility in this case so much as inefficiency.

Paper also is rarely, if ever, fully recycled, usually being downcycled into rougher and rougher materials like cardboard and egg cartons. No matter how well it gets recycled, it’s not going to displace primary production.

If you want to talk about futility here, the problem is way bigger than recycling. It’s consumerism, unrestrained capitalism, and ROI of power now vs power later. No amount of recycling of any quality will fix the world alonge but it is one step of many.

The manufacture of straws on that scale can’t be simple to ramp up though. Maybe they just speculated correctly on paper utensil production capacity?

Either way, there are opportunities for fast large scale change out there.

Paper can be composted or burnt, and will decompose relatively quickly if dumped. I can’t see any post-use situation where paper is anywhere nearly as bad as plastic.

It was a surprisingly fast change, to the extent that I wonder if they weren’t planning something along those lines as an industry wide PR stunt or lobbied industry takeover already. Or maybe paper straw machines are just really easy to setup.

It does show that widespread lasting change is possible. Even if it’s just a single step, we won’t get anywhere if we stop taking them.

That’s a pretty good beginner project. More characters, more stages, and more gimmiks leaves plenty of room grow, but still something to be proud of early.

Plasma lets you pin any window to be always on top (short of fullscreen apps), and you can set up rules to automatically set that behavior for any pip window.

Well, I’m being cheeky with the phrasing here. When I say I’m breathing manually, I mean I’m much more in tune with my autonomic breathing than most people seem to be. I am very aware of my autonomic breathing, and silde in and out of actively controlling it easier than talking.

Some people seem to experience autonomic breathing like an automatic transmission, and sometimes they shift into manual mode. My breathing feels more like an electric bike, where I can pedal along, rest my legs, or take over without changing anything. A car suddenly shifted into manual gear is more disruptive and complex to deal with than a bike battery being turned off. I was pedaling already!

Manually, unfortunately. I’m not a morning person.

I quite like this one.

I’m always breathing manually, so not on me.

‘ls’ is an abbreviation for ‘list’, not an acronym. Like copy -> cp, and the other keystroke saving abbreviations.

Ah, so now I have 7 workspaces that don’t survive reboots! Wonderful.

Bookmarks would be easier at this point.
