I looked it up and they seem to still have them in train stations plus in areas where trash/recyclables is expected to be generated (convenience stores, vending machines, parks) so it seems like a bit of a stretch (also the reason for less trash cans being a 1995 sarin gas attack).

Even just the train station bit seems like an unfair comparison for places without any sort of public transportation (where people walked/biked from home). Yeah, I can see people being more likely to hold their trash if passing receptacles is part of their planned route.

or people still don’t want to walk 20 feet to them?

This is the sort of case where I’ll make an effort to pick it up and throw it away. Even better if visibly clean (not in the bushes, not wet) and something somebody may have just forgot.

If there’s no trash can anywhere, I likely won’t unless certain conditions align.

I mostly do untextured low-poly stuff so I’ll think I’ll leave that one to the brofessionals. It doesn’t seem like a good starting point.

Yes, but also I don’t have much programming experience or even viable beginner project ideas. Also interested in polygonal art but lacking a project doesn’t help with that either.

So add in other issues and it really ends up as

Yes, spring of 2444 with my brain in a jar.

Alright, trying it. I don’t use Flatpak for anything else because of updating, but Steam updates itself anyway so that shouldn’t be a factor.

EDIT: I forgot dependencies are a bit rough (almost 2GiB total) because sandboxing, so that might’ve been a bigger factor before

Re-installing worked, so I am not sure what happened with the dependency solver (hopefully this doesn’t happen again soon). Though I am almost to the point Steam wouldn’t be such a big loss especially if I can still play a few DRM-free games already downloaded.

Undiagnosed (aside from TTT at home) EDS/POTS here (mild), I biked enough to notice a difference but I didn’t hit the point where it aligned with this post (maybe because I don’t really sweat, stress on my body changes the effect?). Even with inactivity, muscle loss is not an issue for me.

Though the biggest issue with cycling for me is that I don’t really have (m)any destinations, distance makes most trips not viable for what they are (particularly factoring in return trip) or add complication when it comes to hours or weather. Daylight savings ending combined with shorter days ruined it for me, too.

:: installing lib32-libjpeg-turbo (3.0.4-2) breaks dependency 'lib32-libjpeg' required by lib32-mjpegtools

But in all honesty, I just can’t be bothered to fix it.

My general tactic is to wait until things get fixed… has worked for many years, no longer it seems. Before this I also got bit by an nVidia/systemd issue (won’t always wake from suspend) that I did try to fix and updates didn’t help either so instead I just shut my computer down now. EDIT: This seems fixed now, too

It also does not help that I have 6mb/s internet (shared with other people) thus cannot really update frequently (and thus not auto-update). This isn’t even my original install either, the re-install didn’t help as long as I hoped.

I probably need to switch to something else, but packaging/updating always seems flawed. I tried Tumbleweed a while back, but was quickly annoyed by patterns and did not like the suggested work-around.

TL;DR: It me

I was thinking more about reasons why people don’t go to therapy. Cost (or hoop-jumping to avoid cost), transportation, paperwork, waiting lists, scheduling. Also other blocking issues, like physical health problems, housing situation, personality disorders.

For the US there will likely be a wave of cuts to benefits in the next year, so that does not inspire confidence especially for medications that cannot be quit/switched on-a-dime or medical operations that require follow-ups.

Also when it comes to hobbies, a large part of it really does boil down to money (materials, tools/equipment, space, fees for events). Though other problems (transportation/sparsely-populated area) can also mean a lack of help when running into issues.

Also nope, no deeper external problems here!

Updated, so at least one issue down.

Aside from a last resort, for what purpose?

I would rather go the opposite direction: brain stays (mostly) stock but supported by multiple other forms of life. Much more of a gut microbiome, harmless viruses etc add to immune system, mycelium network, microbiome automatically cleans surface.

Swap resources with a tree, filter contaminates from air/water or produce organic compounds, photosynthesis in larger tanks (stationary) or luminescence in organic gel (body).

That’d still just be a copy.

And sounds like “I like the idea of ai, but I want something even less ethical.” Unless it is highly specialized to the point of non-sapience. “Existence? Look buddy, I cook and that’s it. I can contemplate the life cycles of ingredients and I do my best to have a safe kitchen, but beyond that I don’t have the information to think about it.”

[ ✔️ ] Willing to convert, but into a cyborg because the distinction is important… but if I’m being honest I’m basically a defective organic robot, so if you put my canned brain into a metal body with a digital voice I would be indistinguishable from a robot.

That leaves out how public opinion changed after motive was known.

The assassination brought the many social issues with the Unification Church under the spotlight again, as well as tumbled the approval of the ruling party. Under the public pressure, the responsible ministry decided to file a dissolution order against the UC with the Tokyo District Court on 13 October 2023, after nearly a year of investigation of wrongdoings

Japanese people cosplaying Yamagami’s appearance during Abe’s assassination were spotted at events like the rally against Abe’s state funeral. These cosplayers held cardboard signs displaying the leaders they were against: Abe, Ali Khamenei, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping

It was too slow for an edit, but this is the older version screenshot (note:Imgur only loads links for me with a private window)

One small benefit of the current layout is that I can see both edges of a rolled-up window (when focused).

I would definitely try more things if I had more control. Big text would be nice with content overlap (or outside window+outlined+noBG?), inset controls especially if dynamic. Maybe even different placements of title or buttons.

Fair, I have no idea if there’s much interest.

For difficulty, I would make wider+more spaced buttons if dynamic sizing were a thing (without it, small windows would have shorter titles when focused).

If you mean visually, yeah not many pixels and with this layout I cannot put a background behind the window buttons without it spanning to the title. The previous version has it but was right-justified, so cannot have the buttons disappear without the title shifting (the shown version allows longer titles when unfocused).

Nintendo has increasingly become a problem over the last decade

Of the other related videos, one by Knowledge Husk (7FWyhlS3kvc) points to the CEOs being an issue and that they just had one (1) good CEO: Satoru Iwata (particularly because he was a computer scientist who was pro-consumer).

Now I doubt Nintendo was fully non-evil in 2002-2015 (considering Nintendo actions with 2010s-era Youtube) but I’m sure it was probably the better side of Nintendo.

Nintendo.

Not just crushing fan games, but also issues with the Smash bros community, pricing and availability, eshops shutting down (+needing to buy those games again on new consoles or it’s not even available at start), stick drift, fan content policy, also Youtube strikes/claims (both newer for specific reasons and an entire era for let’s plays in general). 20 years of content removed from Gmod.

And no this isn’t about Japanese law, they choose to be this way.
