Congrats on the new logo!

Identifying mushroom has always been mysterious to me–how did they differentiate many of the mushroom? Especially I heard that there are so many different mushroom that looks identical

This tellls you so much what kind of company OpenAI is

Blogs are cool. Idk why I see it less and less nowadays

I just bought it one month ago 😭

Perhaps there’s starting to be a Lemmy clone/alternative? I think it’s named Sublinks

fuckcars folks trying not to be the most annoying person in the room for one second challenge (instant fail)

Look, I love good public transportation infrastructure as much as you. I always try to tell other people and especially the government how much my city urgently needs to upgrade its trains, BRTs, sidewalks, etc (thankfully though there’s now multiple efforts on building MRT & LRT).

But, that doesn’t mean cars are the worst invention in the history of man–you folks always say that and it’s infuriating to me, it’s such a narrow-minded way of seeing the world.

Take Japan for example, the train infrastructure is pretty much the best. I know that cuz I’ve been there, trust me, I can talk about this for hours. So good that, while we lived there, we didn’t feel the need to buy a car. Their bus is pretty good too. Sidewalks, bike lanes, accessibility, etc have been taken into account when they were building their city.

But when you live in rural parts of Japan, it’s inevitable–you need cars. There isn’t just enough demand for public transportation. Sometimes there’s a train going through but the frequency is low, and most of the time it’s only single-track. Or sometimes there are buses going through, but infrequently.

And it’s fine. The city is small, and there aren’t enough car users to make bad traffic congestion.

Different story for big city though. I always thought that living in a big city is a form of compromise: you have a limited space of land to use, but you need to use that land for millions of people. If the city only relies on cars, it’s going to be so inefficient. Too much traffic congestion, bad pollution. That’s why good cities build mass transportation, or in your case, buses.

And the best cities build extremely good mass transportation so good that people doesn’t feel the need of buying cars. Of course cars still exist, like the city I lived back in when I was in Japan. Or rural parts of Japan. Or perhaps people that commute between them. But there are options: cars, bikes, buses, trains, etc.

Here’s my point: the availability of options are the best. It’s okay if you want to ride cars, bike, bus, or trains.

Cause you’ll need cars at some point in your life. And it’s alright.

… Then walk barefoot?

Ah, this reminds me of uwabaki (上履き) back when I went to elementary school in Japan. Outside shoes and inside shoes which are called Uwabaki are different. The only time I use Uwabaki outside is in an emergency situation. I remember doing this in 2011 Earthquake

Not my problem give me some…

Smart watches looks interesting to me at first, but knowing how it only lasts 3-5 years and additionally companies loves to purposely make stuff obselete quickly, I’d rather just buy normal watch… Or just look at my phone’s clock.

I used this app a few times in college… It SUCKS. It’s so slow, choppy… I really don’t understand how Microsoft is really bad at making web app… Probably with the exception of Vscode…

Anybody know the best browser for my Nintendo Wii?

Will this affect my Super Mario 64 gameplay?

I wish I could do the same thing with my 2008 VAIO laptop :/

Weird AI

And I’m going to hate it.
