The question I'm asking is why these sounds evoke waves. I don't see the resemblance.

Unless it can support the plugins already there (which I doubt... mono doesn't mean we can straight up run DLLs, right?), I'd have to hope it stumbles into an incredible ecosystem. Thanks for the find, I'll be looking out for it. We finally might have one people'd be content using. Now I'm wondering if/when I finally get enough motivation to start making a coverflow or a lyrics-scroll plugin, should I develop for Amarok or Fooyin?

We also used to have Guarapirangua and DeaDBeeF. G ran out of steam, and D decided to fuck over Russian-language users cuz "they country war so they people bad!", angering many plugin developers besides making me morally uncontent with what future decisions they'd make.

"Oh, Susana" has 5-tone verses. Or, did you mean temperament (which I assume means the "distance" between the tones) when you said "move away".

Interesting. I'm talking more about stuff like the (TV series's) ending theme and the "steel sting" though. Loop de loop doesn't particularly sound like it, though Ocean Man kinda does.

yeah, just listen to the electric guitar in spongebob

So you're saying that we associate the surf music sound with ocean because musicians decided to put surfing lyrics on that sound for whatever reason?

c.f. surf music and spongebob's sound cues

Did our ancestors find God playing the electric guitar standing next to the ocean or something?

Their point is that GSF also does a lot of privacy-invasive stuff

I mean, stalking seems more common than using this for anti-theft

The theory is simple: instead of buying a household item or a piece of clothing or some equipment you might use once or twice, you take it out and return it.

The aircraft flew up to speeds of 1,200mph. DARPA did not reveal which aircraft won the dogfight.

A prototype is available, though it's Chrome-only and English-only at the moment. How this'll work is you select some text and then click on the extension, which will try to "return the relevant quote and inference for the user, along with links to article and quality signals".

How this works is it uses ChatGPT to generate a search query, utilizes WP's search API to search for relevant article text, and then uses ChatGPT to extract the relevant part.

Then, responding to those who have said he’s “only doing this for the money", Szymanski tweeted: “Yes, no fucking shit. I make games for a living. If I didn't want to earn money from them I wouldn't charge money for them.”

The game follows the premise of being trapped in an underwater submarine out of necessity to capture deep pictures.

Apparently, Twitter was quite niche and the launch of Threads coincided with a surge of interest in presidential elections, for which one party's supporters rallied on Threads which also pulled in their friends.

Many (worried) pan-green supporters noticed that their complaints on politics were promoted to more readers on Threads than any other social media platforms (especially Facebook and Instagram), so more and more pan-green supporters gathered to Threads and used it as a mobilization tool[.]

Also, the pictured election slogan reads "Choose the right person; walk the right way". Like, seriously?

And yes, TI calculators have indeed been improving, apparently.

The TI-84 Plus is a graphing calculator made by Texas Instruments which was released in early 2004. There is no original TI-84, only the TI-84 Plus, the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition models, and the TI-84 Plus CE. The TI-84 Plus is an enhanced version of the TI-83 Plus. The key-by-key correspondence is relatively the same, but the TI-84 features improved hardware. The archive (ROM) is about 3 times as large, and the CPU is about 2.5 times as fast (over the TI-83 and TI-83 Plus)[citation needed]. A USB port and built-in clock functionality were also added. The USB port on the TI-84 Plus series is USB On-The-Go compliant, similar to the next generation TI-Nspire calculator, which supports connecting to USB based data collection devices and probes, and supports device to device transfers over USB rather than over the serial link port.

Not sure if this is a problem with my hardware, but my Linux (Gateway) laptop can only look around while moving in one specific circumstance: when I keep holding the touchpad and sprint. I use arch btw

Solution: Lower Palm Check™ sensitivity or disable "Disable touchpad while typing", which serves to prevent accidental touching of the touchpad while typing, hence "Palm"

The repository for the previously private submodule is still called Floorp-private-components, though it's public.

https://blog.ablaze.one/4125/2024-03-11/ is a maintainer's official response to... Reddit, which crossposted me apparently. Hooray!
