As an Android developer and as an user, I would prefer a standard and tested set of rules rather than reinventing everything. I know everyone have different taste, but I would trust an expert (someone who designed and defined Material rules) rather than my own judgement. Don't have an eye of a designer

The Hidden Brain explores the unconscious patterns that drive human behavior and questions that lie at the heart of our complex and changing world.

99% Invisible Design is everywhere in our lives, perhaps most importantly in the places where we've just stopped noticing. 99% Invisible is a weekly exploration of the process and power of design and architecture

Geomob Geomob is an event series and podcast for geospatial enthusiasts. Discuss some softwares, technologies etc regarding GIS

Invisibilia Unseeable forces control human behavior and shape our ideas, beliefs, and assumptions. Invisibilia—Latin for invisible things—fuses narrative storytelling with science that will make you see your own life differently.

How to Fix the Internet It seems like everywhere we turn we see dystopian stories about technology’s impact on our lives and our futures — from tracking-based surveillance capitalism to street level government surveillance to the dominance of a few large platforms choking innovation to the growing pressure by authoritarian governments to control what we see and say — the landscape can feel bleak. Exposing and articulating these problems is important, but so is envisioning and then building a better future. That’s where our podcast comes in.

I see what you did there

Quote of the day:

"Naturally, were I to buy one, I would have to install Linux onto it."

That really explains my first day.

I installed Arch on Surface Pro 6. And have GNOME and KDE installed. Pen and touch works perfectly (when it works), like it recognizes pressure, but sometimes need to restart the surface after putting it in standby because it fails to detect pen(and touch as well).

Camera is kinda wonky, it kinds works with cheese but not with other applications, and I couldn't manage to make the back camera work.

WiFi and Bluetooth works fine (there are some issues with bluetooth when standby but haven't looked much into that)

Downsides

Neither KDE nor Gnome is optimized to operate as a touch DE. Pen on KDE is detected as mouse(well its detected as pen but proxy as mouse input if a program doesn't support pen; like if I try to scroll firefox using pen, it works like I have right clicked mouse and am dragging up, so selecting text instead of scrolling), but touch works as expected.

And UX for on-screen keyboard(OSK) is not on par with Windows. It kinda works with GNOME, like a program window slides up if it were to be overlayed by OSK but its still wonky. And I didn't had good xp with OSK.

But overall, I like it. Its not really powerful enough to do any development, but I use it for multimedia and eBook reader

Isn't that the premise of Westworld S3

Currently, they are specifically advertising that they can provide really large amount of power for very short time. I don't know where I read this but CERN is storing discharging some big capacitors to jump start LHC, and gravitricity can provide same power by parallely lowering heavier weights. source required

What about storing energy as potential energy using some high density objects. This may work.. Right?? gravitricity Check out their work.

What comic is this

Or are we Boltzmann brain

Check out Ancestral simulation In a nutshell, it says that humans are living in far future and we are just a simulation from scratch so that they can study their origin, how they come to be etc

BFR Big Fucking Corpo

I went down the rabbit hole of the Ancestral simulation, the Boltzmann brain, simulation hypothesis and these shows like matrix and westworld made more sense than any other religious text
