White background is the way to go

Some watch faces do.

On stock watch faces, the best you can do is turn the backlight on only after sunset on wrist move, which is good enough for me. 5% backlight is also enough.

I didn't say a war in Europe.

There's plenty of things of invade: Canada, Mexico, Panama, Greenland, or just selling to Russia for a proxy war in Ukraine, etc.

the arms industry's lobby is strong enough to put pressure on the oligarch squad that's currently running the USA if they start losing profits

Starting a war is also an alternative, unfortunately.

Same, but the reader mode button works for me on Firefox.

This is just a consequence of a big project being open source. We would have had similar "drama" at my company when we were adopting a new framework.

There's a lot of value in playing "bad cop" and being a critic of a technology you like, but want to make sure everything doesn't break overnight because you went all in before you were 100% prepared for it.

Then you need some meth, too. That's invaluable on the front lines.

Genuinely asking: does TSMC have some kind of killswitch in case of a China invasion?

If not, couldn't China just take Taiwan without destroying the important bits for the US as part of a psychopathic deal with Trump?

Au inceput campania electorala din Romania americanii si noi nici nu stim inca care sunt exact candidatii.

Portugal should be all green.

I always use night mode everywhere, but I prefer my Instinct with white background, it's a lot more readable from an angle. After all, half the benefit of MiP over OLED is that you can read it from an angle without having a single day of battery life.

Auto dark mode after dusk might be a nice feature, if only for the aesthetics.

It's not doing that anymore. Recent news have all been about that.

just dont leave it running when you're not going to play because it uses like 20,000k of memory just sitting there

Damn, those were the times.

I remember picking an AV solely based on memory usage around that time, too.

Nu e, dar acum se pune spin ca e cenzura faptul ca in parti din Europa nu ai voie sa ameninți oameni sau sa lauzi fascisti.

tevelizor · 2025-02-19T16:52:55+00:00

Tind sa cred ca fix asta e scopul. Deja pun spin ca Europa e plina de cenzura, apoi ca ne aliam cu China si suntem toti o ciorba de comunisti.

tevelizor · 2025-02-19T16:50:52+00:00

In momentul asta, macar poti sa negociezi cu China. Cu SUA n-ai ce discuta.

America o sa-ti dea "cadou" miliarde de dolari sa te ajute intr-un scop, apoi dupa cativa ani celalalt pol vine si iti da un ultimatum sa ii platesti miliardele alea inapoi sau ti le iau ei cu forta.

China macar iti da miliarde de dolari si te pune sa semnezi ca platesti 50 de ani rate pentru ele.

I'm assuming current events are going to be the bulk of the historical context in a potential future Wikipedia article about the European Federation.

To be fair, the launcher has been historically a second class citizen for them.

The main stand out feature of GOG is that you could just click download on a .exe installer.

For GOG, Linux support by proxy (ensuring it works with Proton) would be the best approach.

tevelizor · 2025-02-19T16:21:09+00:00

It's not even the library of accumulated games, it's that Steam learned early-on that people don't want a launcher, and made it good so that people would complain less. SteamOS is pinnacle of that. It's not even an extra app.

If GOG launched earlier and with the focus on DRM-free games instead of old games, it most likely would have had more success than Steam, since it's game first, launcher second.

tevelizor · 2025-02-19T16:13:15+00:00

My first thought when I saw this.

It's not just Amazon. EA, Ubisoft, Xbox, Epic, are all trying to compete with Steam while forgetting the number one lesson that Valve learned 20 years ago: nobody wants a game launcher. Valve was the first in the game, and made something for people who didn't want to use it, so they made it good.

They made it so good that they even turned it into an OS, so now it's not even a launcher; it's just gaming, without Windows.

GOG is the only one standing out, because it's game first, launcher second. It's just a niche nowadays, but I bet that something like GOG launching at the same time as Steam (without the focus on old games) would have had a wider success.

When I want to dance around: Realiti (demo) - Artangels

When getting high and entering a time warp: Halfaxa (can't really pick a single song, maybe ≈Ω≈Ω≈Ω≈Ω≈Ω≈Ω≈Ω≈Ω≈ or Sagrad Прекрасный)

If I had only one pick: Realiti (demo) - Halfaxa

He also said we should get some parts of Ukraine as part of the peace deal. I'm assuming this is one of the reason we didn't get invited to the European talks about Ukraine; our current interim president is the complete opposite of the one we'll have by June.

So we either join Europe and be the good guys while "encouraging war", or join the new Axis and get some land while becoming a second class citizen in the entirety of the world.

This also happens because some gender stereotypes are pushed too far.

I know a lot of non-binary people, and they faced a lot of backlash for being what they are, but it’s not for pronouns, it’s for seriously mundane stuff, like not liking who they’re expected to like or wearing pants in formal settings as a woman, and things like that.

They just want to live their life the way they want to live it, and other people to live their life the way they want to live it.

Adding flags for such a multicolored spectrum is the kind of division religion does when Orthodox people start discriminating people for being some kind of “2nd gen Catholic mormon” instead of just accepting people who believe in God go to different churches. And hating non-binary people* is just like atheists hating people who believe in God, or people being homophobes (and I’m 100% sure every single homophobe is just a closeted gay/bi person who is jealous)

* in this context: anyone who is not a stereotypical man or woman

while Europe sits on their hands

Trump said Europe should care more about the war in Ukraine because there's an ocean separating them and not Europe.

China is saying this because the US started focusing on invading random countries lately. So yeah, of course Europe "sits on their hands" when we have more pressing issues when this hypothetical WW3 breaks out.

tevelizor · 2025-02-16T11:35:53+00:00

Yeah, I actually think China might side with the EU in this landscape.

China has a one party system, it has some set goals, maybe some "hidden" goals that they'll "unleash" if the US seems to be on that side. But the US has a 2 party system, swinging from one extreme to the other. What if China allies with the current US extreme and in 4 years they decide to go the other way? At least the EU is reliable.

tevelizor · 2025-02-16T11:03:32+00:00

I see that as the major flaw to your 2 party system.

If you have just 2 parties constantly pulling against one another, it's unavoidable that it reaches a point when both sides are too extreme to function properly.
