I mean, I do, but there's a reason KSP is so popular despite all the flaws.

For me it's the asteroids. Having space being so densely populated with procedural asteroids is immediately, irreversibly immersion breaking for me. Like... space would be opaque and life on these plants would immediately cease in a ca

These systems aren't perfect recognition oracles - there are lots of errors, especially as you scale up the technology. At the end of the day, it's a probabilistic identification correlated to a stream with a mix of of reporte

This is one of my favorite things about it. Very pleasant to use.

Couple that with the climate crisis and political breakdown, and you've got a stew going.

There are some options under the debug menu which look relevant, but I wasn't able to get it to enroll.

Fun fact, they'd already need one if they weren't buying the data from private companies. This is because both the courts and legislature have been busy desecrating and burying the fourth amendment for decades.

Once I started leaving just the ones with parasitoid wasp eggs on their backs in the garden, I completely stopped having problems with these guys.

Agreed, the xda forum thing is a huge security smell. "Here, download this big binary from a random forum user and put it on a device you carry with you everywhere which is equipped with internet, camera, microphone, and GPS. You'

I struggle to believe that it had anything to do with "Gaming journalism". I tried several times to figure out what the big deal was, and each time left with the impression that it was really just a bunch of antisocial misogynists

I don't disagree with that, but it seems kind of like a acute cause/proximate cause sort of distinction to me. That, and I don't forgive the general populace either.

Fine, the whole post was explicitly "my experience" but I think it's a reasonable gripe - why is it not configurable, and why did it take me so long to sift through the impenetrable settings structure to figure out that it wa

Fortunately there's less mechanical stuff to break or go bad on EVs.

That's a really rude and dismissive take - the impact of cars has been immense, in particular the ways in which they've been given primacy as a mode of transport and the ways in which that necessity has interacted with our laws an

I personally can't stand to ride without a mirror for situational awareness (or, if on road, a mirror and also radar).

Yeah, I prefer a bell.

> A bell is still rude in a shared space I just don't think that is even a little bit true, or at least it's something that is very culturally specific and thus not generally applicable. I have a friendly sounding bell I use fr

What they described is also good etiquette in the Midwestern US.

Shouting that while traveling too fast is indeed incorrect, but a polite "on your left" or bell while traveling an appropriate speed is considered good behavior to avoid surprising pedestrians.

> Some cyclists ring their bells because they're worried a pedestrian might suddenly turn into their path, This is wrong - on mixed use paths, it is customary and proper to announce "on your left" when passing, and a bell

Have you ever seen anything like a MSGEQ14 or equivalent? It would be cool to go beyond 7 in such a simple-to-use chip, but I haven't seen one.

If a website disrespects "request desktop site" and still tries to force you into an app... ugh. Had this happen yesterday when someone sent me a link to something on AllTrails. If the service was good and the website was usable,
