That was interesting, thanks for the link 👍

Oh yeah, definitely.

Of course - a sitcom intended to have a laugh track, and edited that way, is always going to sound totally wrong when that element is taken out.

The presence of a laugh track in the original show doesn't automatically make it bad though. Many genuinely great comedies have had a laugh track included.

That and the penalty Scotland should have had against Morocco.

It's a fun idea for science fiction authors and theoretical physicists, but no one has proven it's real.

Not in this universe, no...

I really like the idea of being able to sit in front of my TV and play Steam games on it as if they were Playstation games. I think I'd play them a lot more than I currently do, since I wouldn't need to go to my home office and sit where I spend most of my day already.

I have a pretty powerful PC for work purposes (image and video editing mainly) so it can handle most games fine (maybe not the absolute top end ones, I'm not sure) but I'm not going to move that into the living room.

So the Steam Machine feels like a great idea...

But I can't help but feel that there'll be issues with it - underpowered maybe, or lacking in features. Plus the rising cost is a pain.

Will wait to see how it turns out for early adopters. But I hope it's a success, I really do.

"He does it through the medium of interpretive dance, it's bizarre!"

So serious question....why would anyone who owns a pc already buy this instead of saving up and upgrading their rig instead?

I'm not a hardcore gamer at all, not anymore (if I ever was), but my take on this is that I do have a solid PC, and quite a few Steam games, but I rarely play them because the PC is in my home office and I don't want to go there to relax in the evening. Being able to play them on my TV and on my sofa would be great.

I still probably won't get the Steambox, or not yet. But that's the appeal if it, for me, anyway.

changing to Signal would isolate you from most people and businesses.

Sounds great - if I wasn't already using Signal, that just might persuade me 😁

What's extra fun is that Mbappe is only 2 behind, so conceivably we could see the record switch back and forth between them all through the tournament. Amazing stuff.

The different playback speed also allows more music to be squeezed onto each side of the disc (albeit at a slightly lower quality).

Tower looks like it can't think of anything to say.

Just to add to this, many 45s came with the same small hole as LPs and 12" singles. The big hole was there for 45s that were to be used in jukeboxes, I think.

Yeah, fair point. I was thinking of those 45s that don't have a punch out as an option.

The API changes. I use Sync, and not being able to use Sync made Reddit more or less unusable for me on my phone. I also fundamentally disagreed with the direction Reddit was going. So, Lemmy it was, and it's great. And now there's Sync for Lemmy, which is even better!

There's always a tweet:

Holy shit.

He can, because there's no law against it. Probably nobody thought there'd ever need to be!

Tomato :-)

If it was BlueSky forcing sign in, I would agree. But this is giving the user control of their own posts. I don't really see a problem with it tbh.
