For some context, it’s because Indian movies were conventionally much longer in length (2.5 to 3 hours). Movies are written to have a cliffhanger at the interval, so much so that it’s sometimes referred to as a meta joke.

Hadn’t heard of it. I’ll check it out, thanks!

and recently made an album using mostly Android,

What did you use? Cubasis? G stomper? Flstudio?

And what part did you give up doing on Android?

Just cause 4. I loved fooling around in JC3 and almost 100%ed it a couple of years back, barring some challenges I couldn’t find. I’ve read so much about 4 being a downgrade that i didn’t bother.

I had it on gamepass though and tried it a week ago. The cut scenes are atrocious but the story is compelling enough, and the villains actually seem more interesting. Other than the graphics, the actual art design is pretty good and it’s a good change of pace through a South American setting.

Edit: pre-coffee words corrected

That’s an interesting example. Here in my city there was a case of a transport officer crashing his car into someone. He smelled of alcohol and was slurring and it was in the news cycle with great outrage and irony.

A few days later news broke that he had died of diabetes-related complications. Apparently the smell was not alcohol, it was ketones from him being hyperglycemic.

Going back to your “standards” statement, for an individual it would make sense not to get into a car this person drives. At the same time it makes sense for the court not to convict him until he is proven guilty. Both standards have their place and rightfully so.

Reaper as well.

I played Prey two games ago but I still feel like i just left it. The more time passes, the more I’m convinced that it’s my favorite Arkane game. I love the Dishonored game world and lore but I think Prey is a more ‘whole’ game.

I honestly didn’t expect the ending either, while I could see what was coming with Dishonored/2. Felt cathartic.

Peek means that as long as you’re touching the thumbnail, you see the zoomed in image (after a short delay). When you release, it snaps back to the front page. Without peek you would touch, view the image, and then gesture ‘back’ to go back to the main page.

This works on articles and gifs too, not just images. So if the thumbnail is informative you can save a lot of time and steps and get a quick gist of what the article is talking about

I didn’t realise how much I missed image peek (long press a post to popup the thumbnail image) until I switched back from jerboa to sync when it first came out. Especially since I mostly seem to be reading webcomics.

I don’t comment much, but sync’s draft feature feels very solid.

Otherwise I did feel jerboa was good and would have gotten used to it.

Lossless quality: The highest quality you can practically get, where it’s as close to a 1:1 recreation from the studio as reasonably possible.

Nitpick: lossless would actually bit-identical to the original. The trade-off in compression level is based on how much processing is required to compress/uncompress it. The audio fidelity remains the same; 1:1.

Because why not! Easy way to SCP files over, run scripts. Repurpose old devices as always on, low power servers. It ties in nicely with Tasker so if you want to extend functionality it’s easy.

Thanks for the answers! I had a bad taste in my mouth after his dandruff video which felt very corporate but I gave him the benefit of the doubt assuming that the science was solid. I guess my gut instinct was right.

I still think a lot of his videos are good, it’s just sad that the obviously sponsored ones are low quality. I’ll check out the links and response video someone else posted and keep being skeptical.

Which video?

To get comfortable driving an automatic: keep your left foot aside. That’s it. Use only your right foot and you’ll ‘get’ it.

I just use my in ear earphones, they work decently well and I’m getting them around anyway.

I don’t think it’s necessarily the agreement that’s the problem. It’s the phrase, it feels like a regurgitated meme with no original thought.

If someone said ‘I agree’, I would probably upvote, or leave it alone.

The SSD write distribution theory sounds plausible but do you have any sources on that?

I wouldn’t be surprised if SSD controllers distribute writes across partitions, transparently to the OS; if I was an engineer designing these things that’s how I’d do it.

Feels like good practice to have /home mounted on a separate partition if you want to install a different distro or reinstall but I’ve never had to test the theory.

My friend made a podcast episode exploring this idea in detail: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xj5r6HLGfcM
