  • Why can't we go back to small phones?

    Jump

  • More than one company has gotten to the prototype stage. Don't remember any huge companies, but there's video out there. You don't realize how much the form factor sucks until it's real.

  • Had a lot of cans piling up, so I built a (Wesley) Crusher

    Jump

  • It feels weird, but I'm told that's the norm outside the US. It kind of makes sense from a plumbing perspective.

  • I hate this image because idiots will see it, not understand what its showing, and make up some crazy shit based on it.

    Jump

  • Also, proof, the universe is flat.

  • VLC Literally Reaches for the Moon to Mark its 20-Year Anniversary

    Jump

  • VLC has over 6 billion downloads, obviously there are people who downloaded it multiple times, but that's getting close to averaging one per person in existence.

    6 billion download announcement (eventually leads to X/twitter): https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/09/vlc-tops-6-billion-downloads-previews-ai-generated-subtitles/#%3A%7E%3Atext=VLC+media+player%2C+the+popular%2Can+AI-powered+subtitle+system.

    Not directly comparable, but guesses at the number of Linux servers out there are in the 10s-100s of millions.

  • VLC Literally Reaches for the Moon to Mark its 20-Year Anniversary

    Jump

  • It's an arguable point, but unless you get weird with what you quantify as Linux, I think VLC might honestly have more users.

  • Plex is discontinuing its “watch together” feature

    Jump

  • I mean fuck yeah, probably. I share with my family and I had to check their email for them to prove that they received it.

  • ‘I can’t get a straight answer from you’: Judge loses patience with Trump admin lawyer for repeatedly ignoring court order unfreezing USAID funds, issues harsh evidentiary demands

    Jump

  • I'm not sure he can and I think the judge isn't sure either.

    I think this might be another one of those things where we were relying on the people electing someone reasonable.

  • Have I Been Pwned adds 284M accounts stolen by infostealer malware

    Jump

  • You're not alone. I'm on the list, but no domain data and I don't have the 'stealer log entries' available.

  • Are there any fictional characters more powerful than Maxwell from Scribblenauts?

    Jump

  • Maxwell's powers are limited by what he can describe with written language and the speed at which Maxwell can do so. Q's powers are effectively similar but seemingly without either limitation.

  • Same BS every year

    Jump

  • Know you're joking, but just think it's funny to point out that one of DOGE's first acts was to try to kill the direct file system the IRS maintains to make it easier for some people to file their taxes. I feel like that one didn't get a lot of coverage.

  • Trump signs new order to vastly expand presidential powers

    Jump

  • No one wants to impress Jodie Foster anymore.

    There were 2 confirmed assassination attempts on Donald Trump last year and potentially one more where an armed and suspicious individual was trying to get into a location where Trump was but the individual claims he wasn't planning anything malicious.

    Wikipedia reports ~8 more incidents during the years where he was involved in his first presidential term.

    I think Biden only had the one with the box truck.

  • Trump signs new order to vastly expand presidential powers

    Jump

  • I don't think there is a good one. It sounds like this is another one of those things where the rules were mostly relying on the idea that the people wouldn't elect someone who was expected to try to do something like this.

  • Joe Rogan dethroned by anti-Trump podcast in the charts

    Jump

  • Shit, I think we've all been asking ourselves that on a regular basis for years now and here we are still regularly surprised.

  • Confusing warning

    Jump

  • Dems Reportedly Angry That Progressives Are Pushing Them to Act Like an Opposition Party.

    Jump

  • I disagree with calling her a clown, but I do worry that it would be hard to get the american populace behind her as that is not an uncommon opinion. A large part of it is likely based on her gender and age, if she was a 60-year old white man with the same ideas, we likely wouldn't have this problem.

  • Valentine's Hulk

    Jump

  • It's with the new Captain America, he hasn't managed to generate a lot of buzz. Maybe it's just hard to live up to Chris Evans, but early reviews on the film are also not great.

  • Pre made ingredients still cooking?

    Jump

  • For me, I've always gone by the typical english definition of "combining and heating" ingredients.

    If you've combined more than one item together and applied heat somehow, that counts as cooking, otherwise you're doing something else. Like, if I made myself a cold sandwich, I wouldn't say I 'cooked' a sandwich and the same for if I threw a burrito in the microwave.

    So, from that, as long as you either warmed up the beans or threw the bread in the toaster and those items weren't pre-combined somehow, I'd personally say you cooked it.

  • Pebble OS is already running on new hardware following source code drop

    Jump

  • The Pebble platform doesn't make it super easy to monetize itself beyond hardware sales. There's no reason to make a watch like this from a business perspective. Plenty probably could, but no one with the resources to do it properly wanted to make something similar.
