I’m using my old Nokia to this day. And why? Because “suddenly being stopped even after a few feet” wasn’t “difficult to mitigate” for Nokia. In the last 15 years this thing must have survived more than 100 drops, sometimes down a staircase. When I pick up the back cover, the battery and the SIM card, it’s as good as new.

You transport the dishes, sure, but do you eat from them while standing? I was specifically referring to handheld devices.

Uh, not really what planned obsolescence is.

You’re right, but I couldn’t think of a short term for this. I found ‘bad’ design too broad, and it’s not ‘hostile’ design either.

Thank you very much for your kind words, my dear sir.

Good luck finding any nontrivial law that applies to each and every instance of a human construct. “Money can be exchanged for goods and services” until you show up at a store with 10 kilograms of 1-cent coins. A single violation (or even many) don’t mean the underlying law (or rule or principle or guideline or whatever ‘less strict’ version you want to call it) is bad.

Newton’s gravity is wrong. There’s no arguing about that. But still every middle-schooler around the world learns it because it is ‘good enough’ in all but extraordinarily special cases.

It also starts disappearing from Amazon around season 3… if we’re talking Lower Decks.

After watching Lower Decks for 3 seasons and going back to TOS, I’m thinking about watching some of the middle entries. What are some of the meaningful differences between them. In other words: What should I watch?

Sadly, I cannot remember which YouTube video featured this: But a guy basically speedran the description of how to solve a quadratic equation the Babylonian way, that is, drawing squares and circles and shit. It took quite a while for him just to list the steps. All that disappears once you learn the formula with the bad, scary letters.

And we thought boomers reading shit off Facebook was bad. Now they have AI feeding it to them.

Why the fuck would they name it PRISM?

I didn’t know there was a comic series. I guess I’ll read that since Amazon pulled their animated series off of Prime.

If a child was 6 when Yu-Gi-Oh came out (1996), they’re now 28 and may have been on duty for 10 years.

puberty is sorta like this but idk, it doesn’t feel as dramatic

I really wonder what happened in your puberty to be “sorta like this”

First, the caterpillar digests itself, releasing enzymes to dissolve all of its tissues. If you were to cut open a cocoon or chrysalis at just the right time, caterpillar soup would ooze out.

It’s interesting that even on lemmy people aren’t so open-minded to give eating insects a chance.

We cannot stop collecting data about you because collecting the datum that you want to stop having your data collected failed.

I wonder if the situation in Europe is different, where such bullshit is illegal.

Because children have different tastes in every generation. Would you watch a cartoon from the 1950s? No, because it’s boring by today’s standards.

I mean, why not? Why shouldn’t a new generation have an updated experience of something you people obviously liked?

If you don’t like the reboot, that’s ok. You can still enjoy the memory of the original one.

I haven’t seen this one. There are people who haven’t been online 24/7 since the dawn of Netscape Navigator.
