I wish it would keep working. I keep buying stuff I would have loved as a kid, but it just somehow doesn’t fill the void.

That’s hard to say without knowing your background. If you know your way around a programming language already, simply using a library or framework for that particular language might be the easiest solution for you. If you have no background in programming, simpler tools might work better, such as fusion 2.5 or other purely visual programming apps. If you have a decent understanding about algorithms without a preference for a specific language, dedicated engines such as Godot might work best.

Hiking? I mean, the world is just out there.

Other outside activities that need minimal equipment come to mind. You ever played discgolf? Or went running? Or geocaching?

But yeah, lots of activities aren’t expensive. Draw something. Paint something. Sing! Or do some sports! Yoga only requires a mat if you do it naked.

This is what it once looked like. 😭

That means they are only depending on apple for the one thing only apple provides, which is app purchases on the Apple platform. Everything else they have locally or backed up somewhere else. It’s literally their point that they’re independent despite having used the platform for so long.

Why would I remove my laptop fans? They’re the ones that keep up their morale and cheer them on.

So… “This” is an event I’ve should be aware of?

Like, if you had to tell my hypothetical friend that never heard about “this”, how would you describe “this” and its relevance for popular culture? Just because I myself am bad at explaining things. Obviously.

Never did. Doesn’t change the fact that a lot of forums are now deserted and have a pinned post that points to a fucking discord.

I don’t think there are many applications that I hate with more passion than discord and anybody who willingly chooses that garbage piece of software to further hide what used to be searchable forum content behind login walls and proprietary apis should be forced to search for a solution for a simple problem of their most beloved hobby all over hundreds of stupid discord channels for all eternity.

Which is why you need insurance if you buy That Car on a loan. So there’s somebody else who will pay back the loan if you fuck up That Car.

If That Car is worth a hundred billion dollars, suddenly that very important aspect just seems to vanish and you can just buy That Car with itself without any further securities.

The assets of the acquired company are often used as collateral for the financing

This is so dumb.

“I want to buy That Car, can you give me money? I have… nothing.”

“But if you have nothing, how can we expect you to ever pay back That Car?”

“Well, after buying That Car, I will have a net worth of That Car, so paying you back obviously will be trivial using ownership of That Car.”

“Sounds like we have a deal!”

Which is entirely not the point.

Well, none of what you say is wrong. It’s just not the point. There were other options besides tesla - and while they were different (e.g. I’m well aware of the small golf battery), they were there.

You say that for you it was the only decent option. Fine. But not the point. Maybe your usage profile warranted what tesla offered. But “Tesla was the only player in the EV scene back then” is just wrong. That’s all I said.

That’s literally their point?

Regular cars are capable of lasting until they literally break down and die.

These don’t exist anymore. If they do, it doesn’t matter if they move by burning fossils or electricity. It’s not a matter of EVs being movable smart devices that will be left behind eventually, it’s a matter of cars being like that.

I’m pretty sure Tesla was the only player in the EV scene back then.

Absolutely not.

I bought a BEV back then. It was a VW Golf. Still driving it. The leaf, eNiro and i3 were contenders for me.

Alternatively, you just always call it [country] stack, allowing right wing politicians all over Europe to feel good about pushing it while at the same time having a properly open and interoperable European infrastructure. When they realise that the Spain stack is the same as the France framework and the Lithuania library, it’s already too late.

Storage space for all the stuff they need to rearrange floor. Obviously. Duh.

So the real question is why it doesn’t default to the default theme.
