  • Batteries are expensive

    Jump

  • If your school is 5 kilometers away and you do the round trip twice a, you would go 20 kilometers a day. Even my old battery can do 40 kilometers on one charge. Something feels off.

  • Batteries are expensive

    Jump

  • I have checked and my Yamaha battery has an official lifespan of 700 charges. I am probably at around 200 and I have noticed that the battery holds maybe about half the capacity it used to. Which is still usable. So 8000 Kilometers feels to little to me and more like a defective battery than a problem with the technology.

    Guerilla Games co-founder and Epic veteran building ‘a European alternative’ to Unreal Engine

    Jump

  • In the article he says it's about building a game engine that is built with AI in mind. I guess that's one thing. Godot has one of the clunkiest editors I have ever used with a lot of basic features missing. Absolutely no AI anywhere. And I kinda love it for that.

  • Go on...

    Jump

  • I am so with you on this one. I have come around to a lot of songs, I can tolerate some real vile shit, I can be amused by absolute garbage, but this song goes against every fiber of my being. It's like a cheese grater to my brain. And I don't know why.

  • I got drums!

    Jump

  • I'd it really depends on if you own a house that does not share any wall with any neighbors or if you rent an apartment. If you own a house, an acoustic drum may be feasible. Otherwise, having an electronic drum set is the only realistic scenario in which you can practice drums regularly. I had to drive to a secluded rehearsal space, pay rent and deal with the other people and their time schedule just to practice a bit. I wanted to practice every day, but I couldn't. And it sucked. I'd say it's better to practice a lot with a slightly altered feel from a real kit than to practice much less with a better feel. Also, edrum sets have improved a lot over the years.

  • Best European Duolingo alternative

  • I started using Babbel and I quite like it

  • Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash

    Jump

  • I totally agree. I'm not an AI hype man. I want to scream whenever I see a PR littered with emojis, bullet lists, and way too much text for a simple change. I hate the discussions about the transformative power of AI, the 10x production gains, all the million tools, agents, skills, plugins, methods I should be using but I am already behind and old and probably unemployed next week, right? Still, AI use is not inherently bad. It gets me unstuck. It finds subtle errors I wasn't noticing, it writes documentation faster and better than I can. I hate the companies who are pushing it, the methods of it's training, but the tool itself is just a tool and sometimes a very useful one. IMHO we shouldn't shame every open source developer just for using it. As long as they are responsible with it, I'm fine with some AI code in my software.

  • We need libraries, but instead of books, you borrow musical instruments.

    Jump

  • I like the idea, however there are some differencea between books and musical instruments. Hygiene is a problem with all woodwind instruments. Strings, sticks, cymbals, cables brake and need to be replaced regularly. Also a whole ass drumset is huge compared to a book. But there are rehearsal rooms that you can rent that also rent out instruments. It is expensive though.

  • Pick European Chocolate

    Jump

  • So Olten is the Kassel of Switzerland. Got it. And living in Bern I've heard about the notion that they speak slowly. I cannot confirm. Tschugger without subtitles is impossible though. And Germans are so loud and often rude in a very particular way that I only noticed after I've moved here. Thanks for the insight!

  • Pick European Chocolate

    Jump

  • So off topic, but what did Olten do? Help me integrate by dissing the right cities.

  • Pick European Chocolate

    Jump

  • Three of those are obvious. Just learned about Glencore. But why Olten? Afaik that's just a city?

  • Pick European Chocolate

    Jump

  • Come on! I just moved to Switzerland! I thought it was some wholesome swiss company. What else do I need to avoid?

  • What did I miss about Läderach?

  • But think of the landlords!

    Jump

  • Stayed in an probably illegal Airbnb in a Samsung apartment in Jeju 10 years ago. It was nice. Apartment complexes are not bad. We have to them in beautiful Switzerland too. If the building is well maintained and the surrounding is full of greenery, and local shops, and entertainment, then they are a valid option and I'd prefer them over sprawl and cul-de-sacs.

  • Meanwhile in famously communist South Korea...

  • What are some of your earliest memories of school?

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's a pretty rememberable event

  • communists in the funhouse it metal as hell

    Jump

  • I seem to have missed it in the north east and central Germany. Then again, I don't think I ever heard someone say something other than "Ich habe meine Tage" except for some creepy dudes with skeleton T-Shirts talking about being brave seamen that don't fear the red sea. Which I always found kinda icky.

  • I have never heard this expression. Which part of Germany is that from?

  • Well I know what I'm doing now
