TryingSomethingNew@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•In Praise of RSS and Controlled Feeds of InformationEnglish2·11 days agoYeah, this has been fantastic. Oh, and it can convert the R-word to a feed. ;)
TryingSomethingNew@sopuli.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are Street Racers "bad people"?302·12 days agoYes. There are race tracks. You’re pretending there are no secondary effects or bad consequences.
“Police say two of the victims were innocent bystanders who were killed when the alleged street racer struck their vehicle and it burst into flames …He said the couple leaves behind four kids — ages 10 to 16… “They are deceased because of street racing. We also have one of the drivers who was street racing, he also lost his life,” said Fort Worth Officer Buddy Calzada. “We just can’t understand why somebody would continue to street race at a high rate of speed at the risk of losing their life or taking the life of someone else.””
TryingSomethingNew@sopuli.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is anyone NOT steaming their Music?4·13 days agoBuy it on Bandcamp, then use Apple’s “iTunes music match” service, $25 a year if I remember right, which allows you to stream anything that you own and have added to iTunes, on any Apple device that has the same iCloud account id as iTunes.
Means that the artists get everything (Bandcamp Friday rules!) except the $25 a year.

TryingSomethingNew@sopuli.xyzto Science Fiction@lemmy.world•Avada Kedavra – Humanity’s Last Prompt (First Order Logic H.P. Fanfiction)4·19 days agoOh gods yes. His shadow looms large over the mythos. Thankfully there’s been stuff like Winter Tide, but we also don’t have HPL doing interviews for the papers or on TV - we can reckon with who he was. She keeps making it more problematic.
TryingSomethingNew@sopuli.xyzto Science Fiction@lemmy.world•Avada Kedavra – Humanity’s Last Prompt (First Order Logic H.P. Fanfiction)4·19 days agoGot all excited when I saw HP, but it’s Potter, not Lovecraft. More power to ’em, but I wish it were not in that notable transphobe’s world. Thinking of all the other sci-fi that goes from fantasy to modern to sci-fi … Zahn’s Spinneret, Stross’ “Merchant Princes TNG”, etc.
TryingSomethingNew@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•The search for anti-gravity propulsionEnglish2·21 days agoIt’s fair. Whiff of AI summarization, gives some idea of what’s been proposed over the century and that most is crank. Mentions the asymmetric propulsion that I thought NASA had briefly funded. Talks a lot how awesome it would be IF…

TryingSomethingNew@sopuli.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Would you ever give up your right to leave a bad review about a company?3·1 month agoI always go after the 2 star. People give 1-star for the stupidest things. 2 star, people give more details.
