You’re much more likely to just restart than to shutdown and need to hit the power button. I don’t think I’ve shutdown my MacBook since I turned it on, or my Linux box either. IMO unless there’s a power outage you’ll never need to hit that button. Still dumb though but i can’t imagine this as a deal breaker.

$599 for this thing is an insane deal.

XKCD is basically all math jokes.

The Japanese military still flies nearly the same flag.

That chess game even predates OS X, it was a tech demo that came with the NextStep OS and has barely changed since the mid nineties. At this point it would be said to see it go.

Linux has decimated Windows in the server market. It would be unthinkable for a new project to use Windows server, even Azure assumes you want to use Linux.

There are lots of industrial applications where open source has dominated the market. As the end user you might not see it, but almost all software and digital infrastructure you use has open source components.

No reasonable person should be afraid to be filmed dancing. The video was completely innocent and the principal at this school is clearly a religious creep.

In this world today there is also no way to avoid being filmed anyway.

IMO if you were American, you would remember it for being traumatizing rather than for disrupting your cartoons. I’m about the same age as you and it had a huge impact on everyone I knew.

I think westerners have this misconception that “Mandarin” is a northern language, but the standard Mandarin spoken in China is largely artificial, and has been a separate language for governance and education for centuries. No one in China back in 1949 would have thought of Standard Mandarin as representing “Northern” Chinese culture, even though it is based on an aristocratic dialect of Beijing Mandarin.

Some of the most endangered languages in China are natural forms of Mandarin in northern China, because it so similar to Standard Chinese and the government has no protections or cultural programs for them, unlike the southern languages like Wu, Minnan, and Cantonese.

China is a complicated country and it’s sad to see these misconceptions repeated ad nauseum in English media.

There are way too many answers after you finish this quiz. You should recommend, at most, three options after the quiz. This doesn’t help narrow down your options much at all.

Metal straws have gotten very popular in Taiwan, the home of bubble tea. It’s not that inconvenient to take a metal straw or other reusable straw with you.

No, its the steam app that runs on Chromium.

Silent Hill 2 uses it unfortunately.

Never visit Europe then.

seriously，who has time to use a ping pong table at work? It’s like a decoration to remind you you’re not having fun.

The mystery of the something or other fault by Junji Ito.

Part of this may just be that Lemmy does not stream video through the app right? Also most Lemmy servers force very small image sizes.

I think it was only free for a limited time when you buy the car, they might have changed it since then though.

Even Toyota is doing this now. They locked features like the digital tire pressure gauge behind a paywall on their app.
