I don’t know much about Guilded but just looked it up and saw that it got bought by the Roblox Corporation in 2021, soooo I wouldn’t count on it not enshitify very soon too :(

As someone who enjoys growing and studying about many many different kinds of carnivorous plants, don’t worry too much about feeding them, instead make sure you get them enough lighting and good water supply through good quality substrate (not something that’s been decomposing for 3+ years and turning into mulch) with adequate aeration. The need for metabolic energy always comes first before nutrition (which is what these plants get from eating meat), same concept to how not having access to oxygen to breath is a lot more dangerous to a human or animal than being malnourished.

Happy growing! :D

More like enshitification is the norm.

What’s capitalism without enshitification? And in an actually functioning society where capitalism is not literally the only thing the society operates on, there would be regulatory and state policies preventing enshitification from becoming the only thing there is because supposedly a government is one of the things that is NOT for-profit like a company. So without that enshitification would be the only thing left in a pure capitalism society.

And we are watching exactly how it’s like when a government is becoming for-profit in the US :(

Chinese companies have always been enshitifying for decades. A defining characteristic of China is that it’s pure capitalism with very little regulation compares to even the US, and nowhere close to the EU.

I totally agree with the AOSP-like ROM and I love it so much too, especially since Sony also makes it super straightforward to root (took me less than 10 minutes) with no artificial function limitations after root (unlike the Samsung models where you can even root at all), so a highly AOSP-like ROM also means a lot of the cook OS customization tools originally developed for Pixel phones, where most of such community development efforts are focused on, tend to mostly work too on th Xperia phones :p

For side-loading Sony native apps from other models, I tried the old pro video recording app from previous gen (the Cinema Pro) on my Xperia 1 VI just for curiosity (since the new unified camera app with all the pro camera and pro video features included in a single app is definitely an usability improvement lol), and it worked fine, so it might work too if you side-load the new camera app onto your older model, feel free to DM me if you’re interested to experiment with this and I can try the various methods for exporting that app and send to you.

Although Lineage OS is not yet available for the gen VI model since it only came out in 2024, however the previous gen V model got its first Lineage OS release in around September, 2024, so it might not take that long to get Lineage OS for the gen VI model :D

Ironically, on my Xperia 1 VI (which I specifically chose as my daily driver because of all the compromises on flagship phones from other brands) I had the only experience where I actually felt like a smartphone feature based on machine learning helped my experience, even though the Sony phones had practically no marketing with the AI buzzwords at all.

Sony actually trained a machine learning model for automatically identifying face and eye location for human and animal subjects in the built-in camera app, in order to be able to keep the face of your subject in focus at all time regardless how they move around. Allegedly it’s a very clever solution trained for identifying skeletal position to in turn identify head and eye positions, it works particularly well for when your subject moves around quickly which is where this is especially helpful.

And it works so incredibly well, wayyyyy better than any face tracking I had on any other smartphone or professional camera, it made it so so much easier for me to take photos and videos of my super active kitten and pet mice lol

Awwww darn as a fellow languages and linguistics enthusiast I feel your pain too XD

I found it helpful if some of the languages you focus on happens to be written in entirely different writing systems :p

It’s true theoretically carbon fiber filling will always reduce Impact resistence, but it shouldn’t be too much of an issue for this application when the polymer already have exceptional impact resistence and thus a lot of headroom to spare. In other words, because of how the polymers like PA/PC already have so much impact resistence, the stuff usually riot shield or motorcycle helmet shell is made of, there will still be more than enough impact resistence after the impact resistance reduction from CF filling, to be sufficiently impact resistent for a throwing mug LMAO

At least my power tools who’s handles and casings are made of PA6 + 30% glass fiber (which has even worse impact resistence impact than CF) hold up more than sufficiently from getting thrown around lol

Which is awesome, but then it shouldn’t cost this much.

Unless if it’s made of some of the actually ultra high performance plastics, like maybe polycarbonate or carbon fiber reenforced PA-6/PPA for example, but I highly doubt that’s the case

Wow it’s really cool someone from a military background went into the field of cybersecurity!

Is this common at all in cybersecurity?

I agree with your points, but what do you think are some of the specific things Google or other similar tech companies in such a similar capacity could realistically and meaningfully do object the Musk-Thiel-Trumpian destruction machine?

I would like to learn more

Though to be fair cringe is like right in the very blood to Google anyway so what would you expect…

I mean, just look at how they often respond on their bug tracker platform of most of their products and how they try to justify their endless streams of questionable design decisions, that seems to be characteristic of them at this point lol

Ooo I see! That’s awesome!

Yeah unfortunately we don’t have hundred-years data on them lmao but at least it would still be interesting to see how examples of such disk go as years and decades go by :p

So they are aware of how terrible ads are and they intentionally want to keep it this way, so that they can sell advertisers “better ads” for higher premium as a form of product and price diversification, with those “better” products they offer eventually end up being terrible and make the ads situation as a whole worse, so they can keep introducing new kinds of “better ads” product to have a “justified” way of asking even more money from advertisers?

What exactly happened to the DVDs in the basement? That’s really interesting, indeed DVDs also claimed 100+ years of life span, but as you can see that’s only the theoretical maximal in perfect conditions, which don’t exist in real life, and the same thing happened to your DVDs can happen to Blu-Ray disks too

Wow today I learned that’s actually a thing!

Thanks for this package of info! XD

Not to mention Valve spearheaded major development for making Linux gaming like 200% better than it used to be, with development of Proton and everything, and giving all those work back to the entire gaming community as open source products entirely for free, bring in momentum for an entire industry.

That’s a company you support.

a mess

Is that supposed to be a British way of spelling “disaster”?

That’s the problem actually, they are NOT fools. They are VERY smart and VERY determined adversaries who are determined to destroy the US economy and everything everybody would want to stand for, in order to maximize their own short term gains. They are making highly calculated moves specifically for that goal of theirs.

They are straight up adversaries to American people, they need to be treated as adversaries, and you do NOT ever attempt to underestimate your adversaries.
