Well, I thought it was funny, but I read and understood all of the words.

Nothing uses Vulkan Video.

Not really the Matrix-to-IRC bridge demographic, are they?

Why is using Matrix supposed to be easier than irssi and tmux?

With a trackpad you can two-finger-tap for right click and three-finger-tap for middle click, at least on Linux. This even works on Macs that have had Linux installed.

Great. Now try editing video.

Both of which are useless for video.

No, it's got useless crippled acceleration that's only suitable for games. You can't use them for video.

Nothing uses Vulkan.

Yes, and the open-source ones are not accelerated, and the closed-source ones don't work.

It's a shame AMD doesn't really have working acceleration or GPU compute. I guess they're cheaper than NVidia for a reason, but it would be nice to have an alternative. Likewise, though, I guess all the video editing and VFX pipelines use Linux and NVidia for an equally good reason.

I wouldn't drink either, because even the ones with sugar are contaminated with aspartame.

Make it illegal to advertise, make it illegal to ask for paid subscriptions.

I'm the opposite, I never really understood calculus until I realised that integration is low pass filtering and differentiation is high pass filtering, and since I was in high school I've only ever converted calculus into R, C, Fin, and Fc, and solved the filter.

Kei cars? The Citroën AX was about 700kg.

Well, it's very very simple.

Does a sharp pointy thing poke a hole in a surface more easily or less easily than a big flat thing?

The "list of academic and government citations" is all just finger-in-the-air unscientific "we think it works like this because it fits our primary school child view of the world".

Not sure what taxes would have to do with it?

You'd have to bulldoze that flat and start from scratch.

Would that not be a total writeoff, given that it's a timber building?

Are you sure it's Github and not your ISP or something? I've just pushed commits to a bunch of repositories in the past half hour.

Yeah, that doesn't work, though. It makes no sense mathematically and can be shown by a simple experiment to break down in practice.

Uhm, okay.

Rather than looking at a rather noddy status page, have you tried using it?

No it isn't, it's working absolutely fine and has been all afternoon.

I'm not sure how you'd get them from the car park to moving down the road without switching the ignition on. Is there some trick to going from a switched-off stationary vehicle to 30mph without some ramping up in between?

We have similar devices on our vehicles at work.

I can tell you that they don't work on Landrover Defenders, because they are reading about half way to "OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING" just sitting in the car park with the engine idling.

> (e.g late pickups at daycare)

I've often wondered how well it would work if you went "right well, if you pick them up 15 minutes late today, you've got to pick them up 15 minutes early tomorrow", or "... drop them off 15 minutes late tomorrow".

You know you linked to a fictional news site, right?

> they probably distrust Google enough to not care too much about not using Google

I think you probably greatly overestimate how much normal people worry about things like that.

Look out your window and count how many tinfoil hats you see people with. If there's more than maybe one or two, you live in a fairly atypical part of the world and it might be time to move house.

That makes an astonishing amount of sense.

Yes, planes are actually a lot easier than cars because there's pretty much nothing else to crash into up there. If you get into a bad situation you've generally had a long enough time to identify it and stop it developing.

On the road you've always got the risk that a Tesla on Autopilot will freak out over the shadow of a telephone wire across the road and panic brake to a complete stop on a 70mph motorway.

> just been knocked unconscious for a number of hours

You should try not to be unconscious for too long, that's like, super bad for you.
