SRAM bike parts was founded in 1985.

I clicked on this because my bicycle has SRAM gear shifters. Disappointed to see an article about computers.

That's cute!

What a great project. I wonder how it was done. Blender and photoshop?

I just love the domain name of this Invidious powered website https://yewtu.be.

Lower back pain is probably the worst problem for many developers. I have ended up doing one minute dead hang every morning.

This is a pc display that has to be experienced for yourself. On the website this display looks no different from other displays.

Watching the video, is like seeing a commercial for a PC many years ago. Only differences is the Raspberry's tiny size, small price and the few thousand times faster processor.

You may be a "glasshole" wearing this glasses. But you'll be a "glasshole" in timeless RayBan style.

Good point. There is no scientifically proven arguments for building modernist architecture. It is really easy to find a lot fallacy in arguments modernist architecture. For instance is it common argue that it should be easy for people in the future to be able to see what age a building has been built. Th guilt by association fallacy is also very commonly used in Europe. Hitler's architect liked columns and pilasters, if you like columns and pilaster, then you must sympathize with Hitler.

I am leading the Norwegian Architectural Uprising. It is hard to proof anything in environmental psychology. I just want people to be more critical to what property developers and the state is building.

McDonald's ice cream machines, is the holy grail of the right to repair movement.

Protestantism and capitalism is basically the same idea. Greed is, for lack of a better word, good.

Giving up caffein is the single most important thing most people can do to improve sleep quality. Wikipedia says "Caffeine is the world's most widely consumed psychoactive drug", so it's obvious why coffee is so addictive for many. It is very hard to stay away from coffee, when it is literally everywhere. Somebody is always brewing coffee at the office, every street corner has a café, every meeting starts with someone serving coffee. It doesn't makes things better living in Norway, which has the worlds second highest coffee consumption per capita.

I am part of the architectural uprising in Norway. In order to make more walkable and livable cities, the cities also need to be more attractive and aesthetically pleasing. The last decades, small towns in Norway and rural areas has become hideously ugly. More people are getting angry, as they see high rise housing and shopping malls pop up everywhere. Suburban sprawl in Norway is the worst in Europe. The architectural uprisings fight for more aesthetically pleasing architecture, is interestingly more popular among young people under 30 here in Norway.

As I am getting older, coffee makes me wake up at night to visit the toilet.

Caffeine is a drug. It is legal by chance alone. I wish I never started taking it as a teenager.

So it is only useful with net power.

Looking forward to see all kinds of chat, messaging and discussions systems being implemented on top of JMAP. Next generation messaging will hopefully be more open.

As a software developer myself, I prefer using an iPhone to create music rather than a laptop. With plugins it is possible to make stuff like this with Garageband for iPhone https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cqd9naFOh1I/

Listening to Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou on Spotify, sounds to me like an old honky tonk solo piano recording from before world war 2. Lots of pentatonic melodies. I'd rather listen to Ethopian orthodox choral music: https://youtu.be/F051ninkSWg

Listen to this instead if you want to hear something different from Africa. This recording from 1968 of drummers from Burundi, was later a huge inspiration for Adam & The Ants in the 1980'ies: https://open.spotify.com/track/3Q6un8mTsYxGU9rN1OSje9?si=285...

Here is the backstory https://medium.com/loopandreplay/burundi-beat-the-ants-annab...

The Georgians invented polyphonic singing. Male choral music from Georgia is stunningly beautiful:

The most important fact is that riding a bicycle is 3 to 5 times more energy efficient than walking. Depending on the road, bicycle, terrain and weight of the rider. Riding a bicycle is the most efficient self-powered means of transportation.

Planned obsolescence is annoying when it comes to light bulbs. But for general purpose computers and TV sets, planned obsolescence should be illegal. When buying a general purpose computer mac, pc or chromebook, the manufacturers should be imposed to make sure the computer can run an open source operating system too.

Apple have not paid anything as far as I know to the community that are working on drivers to make Linux run on their M1 and M2 Apple Silicon Macs. Most of the software the powers the Chromebooks is open source.

Yes. The only important inventions since the 1980'ies in music technology is synthesizer emulators and autotune. Most of the techno music that has become popular lately, could easily be made with vintage gear from the 1980'ies.

An Atari 1040ST i combination with a sampler, like Akai S-900 or Roland W-30, and a synth with keybs, was a gret combo back then. As the first computer with built in midi-interface, it became very popular with musicians.

I'd rather prefer to use the IvorySQL open source Oracle compatible PostgreSQL distribution.

Ian Fleming described James Bond’s breakfast with egg and bacon in the hotel, in a way that it makes you feel you are there. I am proud to have Flemming as my last name.
