    If you had a 3dfx card it would run silky smooth on a Pentium-120 (what I had at the time)! Quake 2 ran pretty well too if I recall.

    And so the enshittification begins. Such a shame to lose another set of solid, non-subscription-based desktop apps.

    Who’s to say there wouldn’t be more flights per day if the airlines didn’t need to compete with 33 bullet trains per day?

    I 100% agree. You mention some pretty scary KG numbers there though (but we’ll done)! I just wanted to mention to readers that even squatting a ‘measly’ 50KG or deadlifting 30KG ca…

    Beauty of that though is that you can CMD+click on each one and open all 50 into separate tabs, then work on each one whilst the others load in the background. Want to cross-refere…

    All I was really getting at was that it sapped the love (and money) out of the job, like the OP was suggesting for them and Midjourney. Once your art/talent has become something th…

    Tidal locking is common. The moon being visually the same size as the sun is not.

    That’s actually fairly common. The really unsettling question is “why is the moon exactly the same size in the sky as the sun?”. A little bit smaller and we wouldn’t see full solar…
