@mangeurdenuage @MK2boogaloo @coolboymew damn, I didn’t think it was that bad. And here we were joking about the UK potentially becoming the first formerly developed country…

@coolboymew @MK2boogaloo @mangeurdenuage Them’s fighting words. France being officially a developed country should not be as centralised, but the other big cities are probably not much better when it comes to cost of living.

@foone this brings up another interesting issue, if you placed the portals in places with enough gravitational difference, the gravity pulling on whatever you stick through the portal will rip it off as soon as it can overcome tension keeping both sides of the body together. It may even turn it into dust, since the tension will pull more of the object through the portal, which will be ripped off, but not before exerting enough force to pull more…

@foone the portals connect space, you don’t move through them at the speed of light, you move through them at whatever speed you move in the space around them since they’re no different than any other plane cut through it.

@VD15 the only worse plug is DVI, which by default exists in 8-dimensional quantum uncertainty state and it’s impossible to plug it the right way without looking.

Bonus points for trying to plug in an -A or -I into a -D port and bending the analog pins.

Most opinions on the Internet:

@Retrograde every artist steals every time they look at another piece of art if we consider training a neural network “stealing”.

@mangeurdenuage reciting that mantra in my head unironically helped me through bad times some years ago. Dune based as always.

@CodingItWrong when they do people don’t buy them because they’re more expensive.
Businesses only adjust to the market we create.

@freemo I assume they just announce themselves so the traffic would be comparable to being in a room with some people whose phones have bluetooth turned on and discoverable, especially with bluetooth's puny range.

How the fuck is “segue” pronounced “segway” in the language that pronounces “queue” “Q”? Out of all the times you can pronounce all the letters in the word, you choose this? That’s nearly the correct pronunciation in its language of origin. In the language that seemingly takes pride in completely massacring original pronunciations.
