How would you react if Reddit joined the fediverse?
So I'd get reddit content without having to deal with reddit's nonsense layout and terrible app? That sounds kinda nice actually.

As someone who struggled to understand what the fediverse even was, the email analogy was what made it finally click for me.
For me, it was pretty clear that the analogy was only about how different servers could talk to each other, and that the underlying technology wasn't equivalent. I never even considered that people might use the analogy that way until this article.

Do you consider the Steam Machine low spec?
Valve says its designed to be better than 70% of surveyed computers. If that's accurate, I wouldn't call it low spec.

because alleged criminals are prosecuted by the State on behalf of the People. Public opinion doesn't really factor into it.

Car infotainment should be able to be optioned away.
But the infotainment is where they collect all your data, which is their goal.

How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone?
When I had a phone with a jack, I used it daily to listen to podcasts or music during my commute. Now, without a jack, I use a converter daily to listen to podcasts and music during my commute, but can no longer charge my phone and listen at the same time.

Appeciating simple pleasures

It's a couple factors where I live:
if you aren't used to walking places because you live in a car dependent city and thus drive everywhere, walking feels bad, so people try to minimize it.
parking lots usually lack shade so the asphalt bakes under the hot sun, making the walk feels extra bad after the nice cool car AC.
parking lots and surrounding areas here typically have the bare minimum pedestrian accommodations, so walking is extra unpleasant.
3b) gotta watch out for cars that might hit you, or are belching out smelly exhaust, or radiating heat when you're already sweating. Tolerable at best, and generally not at its best.
Basically, parking lots just suck to be in, so getting the least-sucky spot feels like a celebratory achievement.

What do you use the back buttons for?
It varies per game, but my most common use is to replace the thumbstick clicks. I don't like how it feels to click in the thumb sticks, feels like I'm adding extra wear and tear to them.
In first person games, I'll often bind jump, sprint, reload, and melee to the back buttons so I can move and aim while performing those actions.

That less ice will mean more drink in the glass.
If the drink is filled to the same level on the glass, then less ice must mean more drink, right?
Unless you fill the drink first, and then add ice, in which case the drinks with ice would have higher water levels then those without ice.

I think QG2, leaving the bishop as the only move for black, followed by QG7#
edit: ah, black could delay with bishop check, king take, pawn promotes, king takes and then stalemate :(
