@kelbot FFVII definitely left a large imprint on me. Things I also played a lot are Tekken 3, Future Cop L.A.P.D., Crash Team Racing, FFIX, GTA2 and Harrier Attack (not sure on the last one’s name).Good times! :)

Look at it, the Pinephone has dip switches to (dis-)able specific hardware modules!

@vandys Yep, it disables audio on the jack and routes the UART there instead.

@InvaderXan I don’t mind it, but to me sci fi is more about the thought experiment, the hypothetical setting. No need to be absolutely exact for me 🙃

Here’s a photography project that’s so cool I think you should know about it. Back in 2017 Azuma Makoto arranged flowers, sent them into stratosphere on something like weather balloons, and took some amazing pictures.I know there are hi-res photos around *somewhere*, but I don’t have them handy right now. One of them is still the wallpaper for my dayjob machine.https://www.designboom.com/art/azuma-makoto-flowers-space-08-20-2017/

I can’t get myself to practice French using language learning websites anymore. I think it’s time for me to switch to consuming french content online for practice and maybe start with the basics of another language.

Hm, so this NFT stuff is basically a thing nobody needs, except people who want to speculate with crypto currencies. I think I got it! *sighhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fungible_token

Reminds me of what @linuzifer likes to say (I’m paraphrasing):Since someone solved a really niche problem somewhat elegantly with blockchain technology, EVERYONE now tries to have that problem!

@0xbiel On my programmable keyboard I have an extra layer for emdash and the “proper” double quotes etc :DOn QWERTZ it’s Shift + Right Alt (Alt Gr) + '-', maybe it’s similar on QWERTY.

@PINE64 Oh wow, it’s quite a chonker! For some reason I assumed it would be a bit less bulky. Still looking forward to getting one, though ;D

In many cases—this is especially true for computing—the “best way” to do something is just the least shitty option we have so far. It’s hard not to confuse these two.

I’ve been diving deeply into language acquisition lately. Not sure if I’m just suddenly super hyped about learning languages again, or if I’m distracting myself from other things.Probably both.

@tindall Did anyone ask for the Github source code yet? It should be GPL itself now, right?

@tindall I would expect someone to challange that, I think it’s an interesting question.Regardless of that I’d love to see consequences for a big company like Github that just takes all their public code, including projects with restrictive licenses, and makes it into a project of their own. Earning money on other people’s (or even their customers’) achievements.

I’m doing a challenge of learning (at least) one new fact a day for a month. I figured why not just share them here with you as well.

2021-09-03: The reason MDMA makes people feel more connected to other humans is that it stimulates oxytocin activity by activating specific serotonin receptors.

If I were curious about functional programming languages, without any specific project in mind, what language would you recommend me to play around with?Lisp? Haskell? Clojure? Erlang? Or something entirely different?(I know next to nothing about those languages and would like to change that sometime.)
