Aphex Twin is one of those artists that, on paper, I should be all over. I know how intricate his music is, I can hear his talent for sound design, I usually love that kind of geeky, overtly complex music. But when I actually sit down and listen to it... it just doesn't do it for me, I get bored after two tracks. I have no idea why.

The “Sol” name is actually more of a science-fiction, pop-culture thing. It’s just called “the Sun”. “Solar” comes from latin Solaris, meaning “pertaining to the sun”, “sol” itself meaning “sun”.

The full name is hilarious to begin with, but the “2” really sells the punchline

Mate, I’m barely lifting myself up certain days, can I get a break from being responsible for others’ self-development, dunno, at least half the days?

It’s a direct answer to the main post, which mentions two bands, and this one is one of them. I thought the context implied the reference, visibly it didn’t, so I’m sorry for that. No need for the snark.

Modern Canadian conservatives aren’t the tame fiscal conservatives we used to have indeed. This violent steering of the right wing towards social conservatism is worrying as fuck, and should be for anyone but hard traditionalists. It’s insane to see anybody who cares about Canada support Trump in any way with how he fucked us over and over.

I never really saw no ice as a cost saving thing, just as a “my drink won’t taste like water in 5 minutes” thing.

The user is describing iOS' share sheet, which Signal seems to advertise as a feature. The OS isn't reaching in and grabbing data, Signal is providing data to the OS.

Also note that said user signaled this on the Signal-Android repo, which combined with their inability to find this info, when i don't even own an iOS device, makes me think they aren't the most observant user out there.

I'm not sure I see the scenario. If I gave you the key to my place then I murdered someone in it, are you accountable for any of it?

Yeah I had given up on the project and had settled on OpenBoard for now, but if/when the word suggestions ever land, I'll gladly jump over. I don't dislike OpenBoard per se, it's actually pretty decent, reminds me of older AOSP when it was a bit more naive, but I really miss swipe typing.
