*Mein guter lieber Kerl, Grammatik ist mir egal.

I’m pretty sure my kids will one day ask me “dad, what were the 70s like?” and it’ll dawn on me that my enthusiasm with 1970s progrock has depicted me as being far older than I am

Does Russian have stricter grammar syntax than German? I was a bit puzzled by the comparison made above

Lisp (specifically IPL) is Proto-Indo-European. All languages have unwittingly taken inspiration from it

Keep up the good and important work guys, we’re rooting for you.

it’s just for scale. for weird palmy scale

You could feed a family of five with those beefy keycaps alone

Amen brother

Keyboard Phones

Is there any keyboard phone out there with some decent specs?

The F(x) Tec Pro1x looks really promising, but I’ve seen many youtube video reviews relating to its various hardware issues (intermittent connectivity, speakers clipping, others I cant remember). Can anyone with one tell me if it’s worth it? I just want something I can type my idle thoughts into, sync my org-mode notebooks, and type on the web.

The Astro Slide 5G looks really good, but I want a phone I hold and type instead of a keyboard I need to place down. Also the price is astronomical.

Ideally I would just shove more RAM and CPUs on my Nokia N900 and be happy as a clam, but that world doesn’t exist.

Also: Anyone know of any phones with a good hardware keyboard case add on? A shell with a keyboard that hooks in via bluetooth or USB?

Regular Phones

On the non-keyboard front, I’m looking for a device that has a decent Lineage community around it, but also that the hardware is open enough to be mainlined by PostMarketOS.

I’m currently putting together a table of the various PmOS phones, their hardware specs, their PmOS compatibility, and the Lineage images they support.

But in the meantime, if I can get some recommendations here too. Nothing fancy: over 4 cores, 2GB ram, and can slide easily into a pocket.

I like the idea of the SHIFT6mq, due to its upgradability, but want to hear from any happy users before I do

One should note that though Thunderbolt over USB-C offers the same speed and connectivity as a native thunderbolt cable, the native cable can be 40m long whereas the USB-C implementation is max 2m

Thank god that no one made a transfer speed standard of 88 Gb/s

they’re pretty good, and the faults they have are improving steadily. I dont think we’re hitting a ceiling yet, and I shudder to think where they’ll be in 5 years.

You idiot!

a hole’s indeed

(Hold my tea)

this game is really fun

“Turn around!” they begged him, as he strode slowly towards the desert sun, but he knew enough of Lot and of Orpheus, that it would only bring them ruin if he did. So heavy was his heart, that he glanced back with melancholy love, and thus the fair city of San Francisco turned to salt. He kept on walking into that desert sun, a heavy heart keeping him anchored to calls of vultures naysaying his poor sense of direction…

~Honestly good riddance to both. I have never seen more narcissists in my life than I have in SF.~

The controls in GTA IV were realistic! Your car tyre would blip the curb and it would affect the stability of the car. Denting the car from every angle resulted in a uniquely deformed mesh that my god would still drive. Pedestrians would bounce off your bumper in unique and interesting ways. It was a simulation paradise.

In GTA V they changed all that, made it more midnight club and arcade-y as you said. You could literally decimate a crowd of people and they’d all die with the same canned animation. Cars would at most lose a door before considering deforming the whole mesh. It just felt dumbed down.

Saints Row is fun, but you play it once and then forget about it because there’s nothing to do once you reach godhood. Mercenaries was great fun, and Just Cause was a physics funbox, I’ll give you that
