Yeah so, the amount of meals is correct. But that’s about it. I mean, I can’t say about the taste, to each their own, but one kg of cow meat needs two dozen kg of grain.

That’s about as inefficient as it gets.

As for the leather, the industry doesn’t like products that last a decade, so it isn’t actually using the leather in such a way. Industrial leather boots last a year tops.

Finally, pet food is made out of discarded cuts of meat, the uglies, etc. But also lots of cereals, and vegetables.

So we could really afford eating less meat. It isn’t good for anything. Not for us, not for the other species (certainly not for the cows, that get often half assed butchered in a hasty way because of quotas and profit), and absolutely not for the ecosystem.

But I guess the taste is all that matters.

Finally, a Scottish layout.

Nope, it is real. It is slang, but real. The actual phrasing is “avoir du lait sur le feu”. As in “Allez! J’ai du lait sur le feu!”. But it is rather outdated.

Honestly, if the makefile is well written, I will take that any day. Good makefiles are 😙👌.

They are extremely rare, tho…

I guess the solution would be a declarative language that compiles to makefiles. So that people don’t have to know the nitty gritty of writing good makefiles, and can just maintain a file of their dependencies and settings…

I definitely agree on the content, it is the presentation I was criticising; and furthermore my point wasn’t to criticise, but to highlight that his popularity is beyond what it would be with his content alone, since the presentation probably makes a lot of people cringe.

Basically, the number one rule of engagement is: do not leave anyone indifferent. Those who you can’t appeal to, irritate, or offend. And I believe he does that part better than most.

I’m a big SUV and pickup truck dissenter, but fuck, this guy has got to be the most annoying person I ever heard speak. Does he have to slur the end of every sentence??! It sounds like a slowed down version of a California Karen accent…

Anyhow, this is clearly why his channel is popular: he is is presenting logical arguments with arrogant cheeky remarks, and he sounds like an annoyed emo on xanax. So the people who don’t want trucks come for the logic and validation, while the truck fanbois come for trashing him (since he is plenty irritating) and peer validation.

Yeah, that one hurts actually. Like, they lowered the bar so we would feel proud for anything, no matter how trivial. And yet, the bar was still too high. 😐

Musk allegedly had that imaged deleted from the Internet, while here is an article that highlights the current Lemmytations (pun intended, I know it’s bad) wrt image deletion.

This was meant as a joke, since this image allegedly always ends up being deleted, maybe it can fix the issue. 😅

(Personal annotations between parentheses. Edit: I know this is a long TL;DR, but it is an outrageously long article, especially considering its substance)

1. Person discovers VR at an arcade as a kid. Loves it.
2. Person stays tuned, life happens.
3. Person gets a Facebook Quest when it is out. Uses it daily. Loves it.
4. Person eventually stops using it. Can’t say why exactly (Spoiler alert: lack of useful software, unpolished UX. Essentially, nothing beyond an awesome tech demo).
5. Failing to recognize the aforementioned conclusion (cue “spoiler”), person wonders if VR has a “fatal flaw”.
6. Person states that Apple unveiling new tech is akin to major social and political landmarks (moon landing, JFK assassination, 9/11, …).
7. Person depicts touch-centric (without proper buttons) interface as revolutionary (Looks to me as if this person never used proper, non budget peripherals^[1] ).
8. Person briefly strays to other cult-like tech firms and confuses scientific innovation (electric engines are hardly a revolution of this century) with (Tesla’s) marketing.
9. Person states they were jaded by previous VR experiences, so the Apple Vision Pro (AVP) headset unveiling didn’t wow them.
10. Person pre-orders one at 3.5k as soon as the pre-orders start anyway.
11. Cognitive dissonance due to the price, and Apple (religious) marketing kick in, and the person decides this is a life defining moment.
12. Person goes back home with their newly acquired liability, and informs their spouse that they will be intentionally failing their duties for a week, due to the previous point.
13. Person presents the product. At least, they don’t hide the battery pack (as Apple did), nor some of the other flaws (FoV, avatars, etc).
14. Person also adds that the headset takes biometric information from you (iris scan, hard pass from me).
15. Person finally recognizes that UX is what was lacking all along.
16. Person also states that the screen and eye tracking is beyond compare (for 3x the price of the Kura Gallium, I sure hope so…)
17. Person also then recognizes that productivity apps were also missing all along, and that now, VR (magically) doesn’t have any fatal flaw anymore.
18. Person makes predictions to justify their spending, stating that the number of apps will be multiplied by 1000, the technological improvement will also step up, and the price will (somehow!?) go down (original iPhone was USD 499 to 599, which is USD 750 to USD 900 in 2024 money, and that is lower than the price of the iPhone 15 models, which range from USD 800 to 1000 🙃)

Just to add to the QEMU/KVM comment: you can also run an android emulator. The install process is a bit annoying (and contains too many “trust me bro” downloads from Google servers), but it is simple enough and you should be done in around 2h, modulo your uplink.

And at that point, using scrcpy actually helps with the keyboard input.
