My company discontinued access to notepad++. Fortunately, that same week they added vs code. If stripped to the bare minimum it’s a serviceably fast text editor. (FOSS has to be approved by IT)

Weird, Notepad is not installed in my computer. Hmm.

It’s probably subwoofer bass. It’s become a thing because digital productions allow a higher control on super low frequencies that weren’t even possible in the past. As a matter of fact, some of those frequencies you can’t actually hear. But the air pressure can be felt, with a proper HiFi system. The wub wub effect you hear are the upper harmonics of those very low sounds. It dizzies some people because they can hear the harmonics but don’t feel the corresping true bass note.

It’s how some people get dizzy and nauseous when they travel in a car and look outside the side windows. One sensory input is mismatched with another, so the brain panics and feels a ton of discomfort.

It’s music mixed for dance halls with pro sound systems with Low Frequency Effects drivers. Though, some sound players should do a good job of cutting unwanted harmonics out of things they can’t play, some others actually add more and make the listening experience worse.

First time on Lemmy?

Bro, Grande is a word in like 4 different languages, but it’s a last name only in one, Italian.

Yet yours is exactly the kind of stupid rethoric politicians use to convince constituents of defunding emergency and security services. Congratulations on being part of the problem.

Exactly, it’s not there for the unforseen improbable plane crash. It’s there for the moments people statistically actually die a preventable death, as in fucking up and misbehaving during evacuations, stampeding others to death or dying of asphyxia because they were too stupid to listen to the flight crew.

Doesn’t matter, the cell towers will still be barraged with hundreds of high intensity requests for several seconds. It’s akin to a very underpowered and inefficient radio jammer.

Survivorship bias. “We have been doing this safety thing forever, but nothing bad ever happens. Let’s stop doing the safety thing!“

See also, “why pay for firefighters if there’s so few fire incidents in our city?”, and also “I’ve never been in a car crash, no need to use a seat belt.”

Every regulation is written in blood.

It’s not. Hence the conspiracy thing. The pain with cellphones in planes is that they can see the tower, but the tower can’t see them. So they punch the transmission power to 100%. Worse still, they can see not one but probably several dozen towers at the same time, trying to reach them all in hopes one of them can hear them.

Now multiply that by 80 to 200 phones on a plane. This will not interfere with electronic guidance systems or computers in the plane, but will also never actually last for long enough on a cell to establish a connection, but all the requests will busy the tower. So cell towers get briefly radio jammed as the plane flies over them.

Which is why international law has never recognized terrorism as a category. Any and all acts of armed violence from one country to another is a military action and constitutes an attack in the frame of an armed conflict. Terrorism is a political, not a legal, concept.

This comment is outrageously funny to me. Because Ariana grande is not Hispanic in the slightest. Like, she’s so white she would stand out in the middle of a group of even vaguely Hispanic women like a sore thumb. But it just adds to the comedy.

Filoni and Favreau love star wars, absolute fans, know everything there is to know, revere the IP like apostles at the altar of their god.

And yet they’re driving it to death by slopification. Everything they’ve done has been wet cardboard. Every piece is a memberberries tour. Nothing is fresh but regurgitated. Scripts are nonsensical, acting is stilted, cinematography is cookie cutter. The practical props art is fine, I guess, but many wardrobes and makeup are more than questionable. And the worst still, it’s not fun anymore. None of their stories are fun or entertaining, Ahsoka could put a wired up coke maniac to sleep.

It also reached the time scale boundary. It was taking too long to film. While each season took several years of production, filming and post production, story wise, every season was just a few months later on the plot. While the main character was a young man at the start, by the last season he was a solidly mature man, and skarsgard was edging closer to old age too. But only a bit over a year had passed on the plot.

Every lengthy show hits this wall, it’s even worse with child actors but adults are not exempt.

Any security system based on expecting good behavior from people is sure to fail. If NPM has no estructural features to enforce safe behaviors, it is vulnerable by default. As no person using it will apply safe practices unless forced to. Specially if the default, easiest, less friction behavior, is inherently unsafe.

I catch your drift. I always thought that wizarding duels and the death curse itself could’ve been far more interesting and exciting if, once successfully cast on someone, the curse will go on to kill the person…eventually. Like, you cast the spell, green flash or whatever, doesn’t matter. Then, soon afterwards but not immediately, something atrocious or unlucky would happen, health wise or not, that would kill the person. Which means the victim knows they were cursed, but they can still fight back, making it not a duel ending spell, but a mutually assured annihilation kind of nuclear option. So, wizards would have to strategically choose if and when to use it.

The toll on the body and mind of the curse user should have also been way steeper. Like, each curse should’ve made the user lose a finger, rot the skin, drive them to insanity, sink them into a manic or depressive crisis, lose eyes, go bald, etc. Reflecting the corresponding corruption of the soul. So that using the curse would have to be carefully considered by everyone, even the antagonists. Voldemort used the curse thousands of times and all he had to give in return was melatonin, keratine and cartilage.

There’s a second person perspective FPS where the game is a split screen of all the POVs of every enemy in the level. You still control your character and the shooting is doom style. So, just shooting in the correct direction of the enemy is enough. But essentially, you only see yourself when the enemy NPCs can see you. The views disappear and the split screen shifts as you kill enemies.

Because the video it not available. It’s a report on the upload of the video to the Steam store database. Probably prep work for the launch announcement day.

Shame I won’t be able to buy it for months after launch. But definitely will get it as soon as able.

Prison phone!
