Y'know what else would help with "The EU's green revolution"? Bikes and trains.

I don't think they mean that everything should have a GUI, but everything that a regular user is expected to do. I still haven't been able to figure out how to create a .7z file in Linux without using the CLI, and that's a pretty normal thing to want to do I feel

Most N64 games don't actually use the controller pak, instead using their own battery saves

Why would a smartwatch need a subscription?? what does it even do?

Isn't the EU making them do that in a few years?

Which is one conspiracy theory that you think/believe may have some verity to it? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] radostin04@pawb.social 18 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I'm not sure if this counts as a conspiracy, but I wholeheartedly believe that aliens are real, but that we have no way of ever contacting them or confirming their existence because they're so damn far away

Has anyone else noticed a sudden lack of reading comprehension skills? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

To be fair, sarcasm specifically can be VERY hard to convey via text or even voice, which is where a majority of communication happens nowadays.

It's possible that it might only be a thing in PAL regions - I'd try, but I don't have anything that uses composite to try now.

I swear that I've seen it mentioned somewhere, but you are entirely right that I can't find a source. Maybe it was some weird device I used a long time ago? Regardless, sorry for not doing my research before posting

Inaccurate meme - the white and red RCAs in composite typically don't actually carry the left and right channels - usually, the white one is L+R, meaning both the left and right channels combined into one, and the red one is L-R, the difference between the right and left channels.

This is done so that a mono television, which will only have a yellow and white port, will still be able to hear both audio channels, as opposed to having to completely miss out on one of them

Uganda restoring colonial-era rail after China fails to fund another line in c/world@lemmy.world

Hopefully they run passenger service on the line too - it can be an immense help to the rural areas in much of Africa

[image][discussion] Why don't we have more options for recreation without cars? I don't want access to nature to be gatekeeped behind car ownership. in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world

[–] radostin04@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago

I don't entirely agree with this - there are many places accross the world where public transit stops at wilderness locations to allow people to access them without a car. It's a matter of making sure that you can't have any "development" around the transit stop.
