Won’t that make the front fall off?

I did call out data density in my first comment. Did you somehow miss that? Not all things that need storing are megabytes in size, though.

Why would you assume that paper means punch cards? Printers can store far more than a machine word on a page, are relatively cheap, and are widely available. For some things, this can be superior to both magnetic and flash storage.

Note that Apple has been participating for more than 12 years.

IIRC, the creator’s medical bills were the motivator for bringing it to Steam with graphics upgrades. I’m glad to see he’s finding success here.

I was excluding media that are impractical for most people to use.

Strictly speaking, I think paper beats magnetic tape on longevity.

Unfortunately, it loses on data density.

Which ants? What important work do they do?

Where I come from, Argentine ants are dominant, and considered pests. Apparently, there is also some evidence of them being problematic for pollinators.

I played it last year. It was fun for a few days, but once I got the hang of the water physics and had a well-functioning city, it became mostly repetitive.

I wonder if newer updates bring more to the mid/late game. I’ll have to check it out again at some point.

I disagree.

1. OP wasn’t at all specific about what kind of transit app they were seeking, as others have noted.
2. Whatever kind of privacy-friendly transit app they want, F-Droid is exactly the place to find it.
3. There are only a handful of each type there. Comparing that to an ocean is absurd.
4. Many people don’t know about F-Droid at all, and just need a pointer to it.

Despite disagreeing, I appreciate that you used your words. Thanks.

I suggest browsing the apps available here:

Edit: I have no idea who would downvote this or why, but doing so is not helpful to anyone, in any way. If you have a question or concern, please just write it in a comment.

I often sit at a desk all day and all evening. I find that these things help:

• Good chair. Height adjusted for my keyboard/mouse height. Upright back. Lumbar support. Comfortable-but-supportive seat.
• Good posture (when I remember to pay attention to it).
• Split, tented keyboard. Mechanical switches that don’t require too much pressure.
• Good display. IPS panel. Light anti-glare surface. Backlight that actually dims the light source, either without pulse-width modulation, or with PWM at such high frequency that it cannot induce flicker fatigue. Brightness turned down much lower than the default. Calibrated at that brightness setting, optionally to a slightly warm color temperature.
• Muted room lighting. Nothing behind me bright enough to reflect much on the screen.
• Comfortable clothes.
• Cup of water. Regular trips to the kitchen to keep it filled.
• Frequent short breaks. Start the laundry. Get a snack. Look at objects outside. Wash a dish. Bring in the mail. Make the bed.
• Exercise. At least 10 minutes daily; preferably 30 minutes or more. Stretches. Squats. Rhythm games that require full-body movement.

It was a few years ago when I read Signal’s statement about this, so I’m afraid I don’t have a link for you.

I believe you when you say Molly functions, but it’s important to note that without Signal’s blessing, anyone using Molly can be locked out of the network (and their chats and contacts) at any moment. It’s not the same as official interoperability.

I wonder if the Digital Markets Act will eventually force it.

Unless Signal’s policies recently changed, Molly is not interoperable, since Signal does not allow third-party clients to use their servers/network. That would make point 2 correct.

If that policy has changed, then someone please link the announcement so I can update my notes.

These wolves were modified based on dna from dire wolves, and presumably made to be as close to the scientist’s understanding of dire wolves as possible.

I guess you missed this part:

And Colossal claims it has turned grey wolves into dire wolves by making just 20 gene edits?

That is the claim. In fact, five of those 20 changes are based on mutations known to produce light coats in grey wolves, Shapiro told New Scientist. Only 15 are based on the dire wolf genome directly and are intended to alter the animals’ size, musculature and ear shape.

Nope. They are not.

Diablo Canyon, California’s sole remaining nuclear power plant, has been left for dead on more than a few occasions over the last decade or so, and is currently slated to begin a lengthy decommissioning process in 2029.

So this AI is apparently not operating a nuclear plant, which would be concerning.

For now, the artificial intelligence tool named Neutron Enterprise is just meant to help workers at the plant navigate extensive technical reports and regulations — millions of pages of intricate documents from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that go back decades — while they operate and maintain the facility.

Ah, that makes more sense. I hope it doesn’t end up leading humans away from correct understanding of safety regulations.

People should not be treated badly in general, but not “called out”?

I run into video-link-only posts in text forums on Lemmy every so often, and IMHO, they contribute little more than noise. There’s nothing wrong with encouraging their authors to at least add a summary or start a conversation about the subject matter. Without that, video links that aren’t of obvious widespread interest usually feel like they’re treating the rest of us as a click farm, whether we’re vision-impaired or not.

I plan to bound my way to a safer place, like a two-legged gazelle, so that no more than one foot contacts the ground at any time.
