I did call out data density in my first comment. Did you somehow miss that? Not all things that need storing are megabytes in size, though.

Why would you assume that paper means punch cards? Printers can store far more than a machine word on a page, are relatively cheap, and are widely available. For some things, this can be superior to both magnetic and flash storage.

Note that Apple has been participating for more than 12 years.

IIRC, the creator’s medical bills were the motivator for bringing it to Steam with graphics upgrades. I’m glad to see he’s finding success here.

I was excluding media that are impractical for most people to use.

Strictly speaking, I think paper beats magnetic tape on longevity.

Unfortunately, it loses on data density.

I haven’t tried it yet, but I expect it will be nice to be able to compare our own hardware performance to the benchmarks we see in reviews, and do apples-to-apples comparisons with the results reported by Windows users when performance tuning.

Which ants? What important work do they do?

Where I come from, Argentine ants are dominant, and considered pests. Apparently, there is also some evidence of them being problematic for pollinators.

I know I didn’t put adaptive in there, but that is what I meant when I said the triggers don’t work.

Yes, I understood, but I wanted to clarify for the sake of other readers who wouldn’t. Most people who don’t have a DualSense don’t know about its adaptive triggers, since they’re not a common feature on game controllers and not used by most games.

And how do you get the touchpad to work? I can get the buttons on it to work, but I haven’t gotten the mouse-like touch input to actually work, despite being able to map it.

On the desktop, I didn’t have to do a thing. It was automatically recognized when I connected the device, and I could move the mouse pointer and click right away. (I ended up disabling it in Xfce, because it sometimes got in my way.)

In Steam, I usually remap areas of it to produce keyboard events (useful in Elite Dangerous), but I think it can also be mapped as a mouse. I haven’t fiddled with Steam Input’s many options in a while.

Not when done at a large scale.

Critics, however, see a more nefarious White House agenda – namely, gutting universities of what it sees as a liberal-left bias, while using antisemitism as a cudgel in an authoritarian power grab.

Seems to me that crying liberal bias is just a lie behind another a lie.

Education tends to counter authoritarianism/fascism.

Indeed, but I didn’t comment on audio, and you didn’t specify the other bits in your original comment. Triggers (without Sony’s proprietary variable resistance), gyro, and touchpad all work fine over bluetooth.

Most games require the DualSense to be physically plugged in to use the triggers, gyro, touchpad,

Most games? Not in my experience. Perhaps that’s because I mostly play on Steam (which has Steam Input to map those things as I like) and console emulators.

These are the three that the article refers to:

• KeePass
• KeePassXC
• Bitwarden (Self-Hosted)

From a Kirkland, Washington, USA health hazards sheet that I found in a quick search:

TIPS TO REDUCE EXPOSURES TO BISPHENOLS IN RECEIPTS:

• DO NOT compost or recycle receipts and other thermal paper. BPA & BPS residues from receipts will contaminate recycled paper.
• Minimize receipt collection by declining receipts at gas pumps, ATMs and other machines when possible.
• Never give a child a receipt to hold or play with.
• After handling a receipt, wash hands before preparing and eating food.
• Do not use alcohol-based hand cleaners after handling receipts. A recent study showed that these products can increase the skin’s BPA absorption.
• Take advantage of store services that email or archive paperless purchase records.
• Store receipts separately in an envelope in a wallet or purse.

HAZARDS FOUND IN LABORATORY TESTS INCLUDE:

• Obesity
• Diabetes
• Early Puberty
• Cardiovascular system disorders
• Abnormal reproductive system development
• Hormone abnormalities in children
• Susceptibility to various cancers
• Resistance to chemotherapy
• Diminished intellectual capacity

I disagree.

1. OP wasn’t at all specific about what kind of transit app they were seeking, as others have noted.
2. Whatever kind of privacy-friendly transit app they want, F-Droid is exactly the place to find it.
3. There are only a handful of each type there. Comparing that to an ocean is absurd.
4. Many people don’t know about F-Droid at all, and just need a pointer to it.

Despite disagreeing, I appreciate that you used your words. Thanks.

I suggest browsing the apps available here:

Edit: I have no idea who would downvote this or why, but doing so is not helpful to anyone, in any way. If you have a question or concern, please just write it in a comment.

I was referring to the image-only link and the embed that you suggested. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

Neither of those is a good approach, because part of every xkcd comic is the hover text.

Why is he so interested in Greenland? Is it just the natural resources?
