I’m using my old Nokia to this day. And why? Because “suddenly being stopped even after a few feet” wasn’t “difficult to mitigate” for Nokia. In the last 15 years this thing must have survived more than 100 drops, sometimes down a staircase. When I pick up the back cover, the battery and the SIM card, it’s as good as new.

You transport the dishes, sure, but do you eat from them while standing? I was specifically referring to handheld devices.

Uh, not really what planned obsolescence is.

You’re right, but I couldn’t think of a short term for this. I found ‘bad’ design too broad, and it’s not ‘hostile’ design either.

Thank you very much for your kind words, my dear sir.

Sadly, I cannot remember which YouTube video featured this: But a guy basically speedran the description of how to solve a quadratic equation the Babylonian way, that is, drawing squares and circles and shit. It took quite a while for him just to list the steps. All that disappears once you learn the formula with the bad, scary letters.

And we thought boomers reading shit off Facebook was bad. Now they have AI feeding it to them.

If a child was 6 when Yu-Gi-Oh came out (1996), they’re now 28 and may have been on duty for 10 years.

It’s interesting that even on lemmy people aren’t so open-minded to give eating insects a chance.

Found the Australian

Because children have different tastes in every generation. Would you watch a cartoon from the 1950s? No, because it’s boring by today’s standards.

I mean, why not? Why shouldn’t a new generation have an updated experience of something you people obviously liked?

If you don’t like the reboot, that’s ok. You can still enjoy the memory of the original one.

I haven’t seen this one. There are people who haven’t been online 24/7 since the dawn of Netscape Navigator.

Isn’t that also the shorter route, because you’re circling the Earth where it has less circumference?

Also the North Atlantic Tracks are there. Might also play a role.

Judging by eye on the map projection OpenStreetMap uses, the direct line between Japan and Hawaii is about one quarter of the westbound straight line between Japan and Hawaii.

Could someone enlighten me what Deus Ex is about without spoiling more than two hours of gameplay?

It’s conceivable as an adventure trip or if a Portuguese wanted to see Northern lights. But I guess the trip NY–LA is way more common.

The States’ population centers are on the far edges of the continent. That’s not the case in Europe, where they’re more evenly distributed.

It’s also the sun’s “atmosphere” and an old-fashioned German women’s name.

Yes, I do. In this case I think it’s vital to link to the source, since the meme make it look like this garbage was a real thing.

Man, the flashback from that UI. I just went back to the happiest days of my life for a second.

No-one was researching this topic. This interview came out of a philosopher’s ass. https://alexandrite.app/feddit.de/comment/9260446
