Usually it's low FPS (if FPS at all) that causes motion sickness. This comes up in VR discussion a lot. IIRC like 90Hz is considered a minimum.
I get horribly motion sick playing some games like Half-Life 2, Metroid Prime, or the original DOOM. I run my phone at 120Hz and like it. For games, cranking up the FoV tends to help, also disabling effects like viewbobbing, blur, shaking, etc.
I understand this is not fun to experiment with, though. Once I'm motion sick, I tend to be the entire day, only sleeping fixes it, so I'm not usually excited to keep trying to tweak the thing that makes me sick. I tend to dive into settings before playing any game now. I hate when it auto starts the game to appear cinematic.
I enjoy soldering, but I would not consider replacing soldered RAM/SSD realistic for myself or most people, just as soldered CPUs aren't often replaced by users.
The anecdote about it being a common job in third world countries is interesting. I wonder where they learn to do it, and what all tools are involved. Maybe it's a family business thing and your kids take over.
Is there a reason you've decided the current Web belongs to the pro-AI crowd? Why can't they start their own community of only AI lovers and leave the Web as it was? I hear lobste.rs has changed course on their AI stance, removing the relevant tags and deleting anti-AI comments recently. Compared to HN then I would think lobste.rs is like a safe haven for AI projects.
Been years since I used tags in bookmarks, but on FF mobile I do often miss qutebrowser's quickmarks. I have a lot of stuff like "malw" to get to my MAL Watching list on my PC. My compromise on mobile is to use the bookmark titles kinda like a search or a description with keyboard stuffing, so maybe the default name of the bookmark is something generic like "MyAnimeList.net", I'll put "malw - " at the start of it, then next time I hit new tab and type malw out of habit it should come up. Not as good or reliable as a quickmark, but you could probably do something similar for a tag replacement. Bookmark some blog post about the Amiga, edit the title, throw in "retrocomputing diy technology blogpost hacking" or similar on either end, then when you type in "retrocomputing" later it should show up along your other stuff with that in the title. Might be more primitive but should do the trick.
Omega-3 comes from seaweed and kelp, that's where the fish got it in the first place. You can get vegan Vitamin D3 capsules where the source is lichen. B12 is available in nutritional yeast (nooch) in very high amounts, it's also in many energy drinks. None of this is a serious issue.
Orders for media get debated endlessly, but release order is always the safest bet. If you were there on day 1 and played each thing when it was new, that was release order, and that's what a lot of people did. Even intentional prequels may tease later stuff for fans who know the other entries. In other words I think things are made with release order in mind more than chronological order.
A commit can delete or modify lines, it at least isn't as bad as the "more code = better" approach, though perhaps it's still flawed in that you could have lots of very minor commits to increase the count, or do and then undo a change to get 2 free commits.
It takes time to research and publish. It'll always be some slightly old model. Is this argument just a permanent get out of jail free card? Add 10 to each year, will we be seeing that said in the future?
Is it really out of the question to stop using AI and continue contributing upstream to free software projects? It was just a few years ago this was the norm.
Seems more like clean room RE to me, or general free software stuff. You can't contribute proprietary code to free software, if someone doesn't agree to a license change you have to remove/rewrite their contributions, if you've seen the Windows source code you aren't allowed to contribute to ReactOS (IIRC), etc. LLMs are black boxes with dubious training data and aren't really "you" writing the code directly, so whether you can then license that is questionable. This is especially important for a project like LibreBoot that is trying to liberate machines. The only "easy" solution I see is to abolish copyright, which would be fine. As it is a lot of software is being tainted and the whole world of free software is in danger. It's a shame people gloss over this because they think LLMs are cool or help productivity or whatever. Everything's been irradiated now. Now if someone wants to guarantee a given project had no AI contributions they have to fork a years-old version and likely lose a lot of good non-LLM code in the process. What a waste of time and resources that is. Setting us way back. This needed to be taken way more seriously on day 0.
Not clear from the headline alone, but the linked program (TFA) is called "Konnect". KDE apps tend to all be named similarly to that, like Krita, Kate, Kaffeine, etc. So it's both copying a KDE naming style and conflicting phonetically with a popular KDE program. KDE Connect also works outside of KDE to sync your clipboard to an Android phone and such, so even outside of KDE users, KDE Connect specifically is fairly well known.
On first reading I took it to mean exchanging BP for upload, a common site feature with no real money cost. Perhaps they meant that seeding is pay to win and you need a seedbox, though (not my experience, FWIW).
I don't want to defend dentists too much as I also have mostly negative experiences with them, but I heard recently that when you either haven't been in for a long time or it's your first time at that dentist, they're more likely to want to fix stuff they'd otherwise just mark "watch" or give you a warning about, in case you don't come back. I went in for the first time in over 5 years a few months ago, I had no tooth pain or anything (which is notable because I've had sensitivity the dentists couldn't fix for years, thanks n-Ha toothpaste), they told me I had 6 cavities, I think. They also wanted to push their extra fluoride toothpaste on me, but I'd used it before with no luck so I said no to that. I got the fillings because honestly I might not be back for another 5 years, my health insurance is spotty. Short term I felt a bit worse, but the newly filled teeth normalized after a week or two. The most noticeable were my canines, they're more smooth and blunted at the tips now. In hindsight I think I did have small holes on both that I could feel with my tongue, but it'd been that way for years and didn't hurt.
It just so happened it didn't cost me a dime, or else I was ready to walk. In fact the reason I didn't get their toothpaste just to be polite is because it was gonna be $12 or something and I was worried I might have to pay out of pocket, for something I knew I wouldn't use.
Oh yeah, but the worst part of going in after all that time was actually the x-rays. The thing they stick in your mouth caused me significant eye-watering pain. I think they had to take over 25 pictures and some were messed up and had to be redone on top of that. Some tool they used, I forget if it was a brush or a drill or what, also made a horrible high pitched whine that was really rough on my ears.
Some friends use it more reluctantly and only sign on occasionally when they need something. I remember one friend vaguely describing a "malaise" when using Element for the first time, like something about the UI/UX bugged him but he didn't really elaborate. I assume some of them are using other stuff like Discord on the side, but I'm not sure since I don't. I think there is also some minor friction with the whole Element vs Matrix naming thing (I hit this a lot with older family members), they wanna call it the app name because they're used to centralized stuff, I call it Matrix because it's more correct and also because I don't even use Element a lot of the time (I use nheko on my PC at least). I can't really bring myself to say "I sent you a message on Element". I wouldn't say "I sent you something on gmail" either. I don't know what the solution is for this, but I will say the Element branding feels a bit too strong at times, almost like it's hiding the fact that there are other clients and other homeservers than matrix.org.
The worst I see is from the broader tech community, though. Especially people from the fediverse, they seem to have a strong alignment with XMPP. IRC is still my favorite, personally, but it does seem like Matrix gets unfairly ragged on a bit. Both by the people who think XMPP already does everything Matrix does but better, and from the people who don't care about free software or decentralization and just want everything to be like Discord.

Insane victim-blaming here. What is wrong with car people?
Upload to a temp file host and post the link. I'm in several active IRC channels and this happens hundreds of times per day. If you're chatting 1 on 1 there is also XDCC for transferring files.
I hope this doesn't sound too weird, but I have met a handful of (alleged) minors on IRC in the last few years.
Usually they see it as some cool underground hacker thing and talk about how they wish they could get their Discord friends to use it too. They don't seem to stick around long-term, though. I guess the novelty wears off and they go back to where they came from.
I'm on IRC, XMPP, and Matrix. IRC is still my favorite, has the best clients, performance, server uptime, and IMO is the most fun. I have most family/friends on Matrix, but I've noticed many people really don't like it.
Crashed client / bouncer should mean it's still in their local log. Bots can also deliver messages pretty commonly. Usually it's `.tell nick message` and next time that nick connects and posts they'll see it.
