The amount of times I’ve heard salty right wing grifters complain about Orwellian censorship on literally everything. But I guess it’s just fine if cult leader Trump does it, because he stands for what’s right and sticks it to those progressive plebs, right?

Does Tate even get any women? I mean… Besides the ones he trafficked of course.

This exoplanet pandemic is getting out of hand. We’re seeing them everywhere now!

Can’t wait to update gimp from terribly out-dated to somewhat out-dated.

That’s the most punk looking animal I’ve ever seen.

Oh by fucking gods. It’s loss. People are STILL posting loss. And here I was thinking this was a chemistry meme.

Yes, because each time an elf looks upon an orc, they see a mangled, corrupted version of themselves, with no hope of reversing the corruption.

Windows has 100% support for Windows. I mean, yeah?

I don’t see Windows supporting Linux programs. Or Apple programs.

It’s a bad argument.

My thoughts exactly. I’ve seen several such devices already, probably the most expensive and over-designed one being the Apple VR, and it’s always the same story.

You can do all that with USB C and a touch keyboard. There is no good reason under the sun to make a device that is this dated in concept.

Whatever the market is they’re trying to fill, it’ll be so extremely niche that this product is already a failure. It’s not the first time some kind of ultra niche product from kickstarter failed before launch because except for a small handful even cared.

Tiny keyboards were a nightmare. There’s a reason why the Blackberry failed. You might like it, but then you’re part of a minority.

I wonder who this is made for?

The article calls it a “smartphone sized pocket computer”, but that describes smartphones too; they already are pocket computers. And they’ve had decades of design and development behind them.

So… This device has a tiny touchscreen, and a keyboard, rather than having the whole thing being a touchscreen. So instead it has a modular bottom half… Which… Sounds like it’s trying to solve a problem that would’ve been a problem in like… The 90s, maybe, but has been solved by using… A touchscreen that can change the type of input it is flexibly, like smartphones do.

It can’t call, like a smartphone, despite being a smartphone sized device. It has USB A 2.0 sockets and an Ethernet socket… Which makes it once again sound incredibly out-dated, like a device found in a time capsule, because USB C is smaller and faster than USB A 2.0, and can potentially be used for damn near anything. Which includes connecting to the Internet.

Its battery looks very weak. Its CPU looks very weak. It has a tiny amount of RAM, and a tiny amount of storage. It is outclassed by any affordable, midrange smartphone, at nearly the same price too (if you avoid big brand names).

Yeah, I had no trouble switching to Linux, as I already was using FOSS programs with native Linux versions (i.e. Blender, Krita, OBS…).

I’ve been through some terrible things in life.

But yes, I’d still choose to be born. The universe is an amazing place, and despite everything that has happened and is going on, there truly isn’t anything as wonderful as getting to experience a small, brief slice of the universe.

No. It would be better to give your money that fixes the underlying issues why the person is homeless in the first place.

There are a lot more homeless people about than the one you’re giving money to, and giving money to one homeless person will not fix their situation.

The answer is always the egg.

Well, Elrond was there in the beginning. Bilbo and the dwarves passed through Rivendel.

Aren’t the elves from The Hobbit also a different group? It could just be that they are frolicking weirdos compared to Elrond’s and Galadriel’s elves.

Hey, have you seen those Japanese? They have curved swords. Curved… Swords…!
