Isn't that a legitimate use-case for RSS (specifically Atom) though? My blog's feed just points to the plain-HTML pages with the post. It seems wasteful to put my entire site in a single, polled file.

"Akshually, photo is not a file" is how iOS did it. Blew my mind when I tried to sync my files (Syncthing/Möbius) and it would not show any of the photos in file lists. Apparently it's for "security reasons".

This was several years ago so IDK if it's the same still.

Meanwhile, ironically, RFK and his Make America Healthy Again is at odds with Roundup:

Kennedy, though, has built a sizable following over many decades, in part, because of the lawsuits he’s waged against corporations, including the company that produced weedkiller Roundup.

I have not heard of USB-C wearing out yet. What devices are those? Have to be new enough to have USB-C.

Thanks for pointing this out. The list is made by a scraper (and I haven't updated it in a few months), so it probably missed some models depending on the model code.

Thanks for reposting, I subscribed to this community too.

postmarketOS is fully Linux (based on Alpine Linux) Choose this for more technical projects or if you want your phone to be like Raspberry Pi++.

LineageOS is a clean Android. Choose this for Android experience.

That would be great and I might add a scraper for xdaforums, but even XDA has a lot of dead links for old devices now.

The bottom button was on LineageOS 14-15 (Android 7-8 equivalent... So rather old now)

When I read books, picturing everything in my head is a part of the enjoyment. Often, books describe senses and feelings that would be more difficult to portray in images or video. Some examples:

Right now, I am reading Ancillary Justice (by Ann Leckie), and the main character (who is the narrator) has difficulty with recognizing gender, so, unless explicitly stated, it is up to me to decide how characters look. Also, main character controls multiple bodies at once, and some paragraphs are full of parallel events and thoughts.

Annihilation (by Jeff Vandermeer) has a movie adaptation, but it's different from the book. The book goes deeper into the main characters own thoughts, concerns and regrets. It also describes smells and physical senses quite often, and the creature the main character encounters evokes emotions more so than just a description. And throughout the story, in addition to the general eeriness of Area X, there is just a feeling of being lost. (I should give credit that It Follows does the uneasy feeling really well, too)

And just to be annoying, I can extrapolate your logic to "video does not show what happens around the camera, VR is better", and "VR does not bring the senses of touch, smell, and heat, fully immersive simulators are better" :)

What's the opposite of Poe's law? I see an article like this and I can only interpret it as satire.

It’s a chatbot that encourages people to tap, tap, tap on hand-held small screens as they watch films on a big one. Users gain access to exclusive trivia and witticisms in real time (synced with what’s happening in the movie).

So like live-tweeting (why was that a thing?) but with bots. Got it.

I never understood the point of realistic (or heavily stylized) graphics. Maybe it's just me, but after about 5 minutes of "wow" my brain's visual processor starts treating it as anything else, whether it's Doom 2, Borderlands 2, or Stalker 2.
