Still living that dream with LineageOS. Such a same it’s not on official ROMs

honestly that wouldn’t surprise me. they are weird little bastards and i love them for it

nah, i think this is genuine. features match reality, the room doesn’t look too odd, and that’s not the typical ai slop font

edit: tineye dug this up from a huffingtonpost website: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/cartoonist-ellis-rosen_n_5979e678e4b0da64e8770071 not sure why the font is not italicised in the post

Ah, fair enough. To be fair a good couple of spider species were able to cross continents via ballooning, so now that I think about it, mosquitoes doing just as well isn’t too far fetched.

Yeah, probably this. And the increase in temperature simply made the conditions bearable when they got outside.

Could they have also maybe just… flown over there? Insect migrations like this can happen, but I don’t think it’s possible on such a scale, even for mosquitoes.

Currently they’re not close at all to being daily drivers (can speak from experience as I’ve flashed Ubuntu Touch onto a phone a few days ago), but their development has sped up a lot lately, so here’s to hoping for the best!

A bit late to the party here, but today I flashed Ubuntu Touch onto a Xiaomi Poco X3, and it’s… well, it’s rough.

All the base functionality seems to be there, calls should work (not sure because I didn’t test them extensively), sms works, location/gps works, nfc is supported, camera is… passable, battery life is certainly, and noticeably worse but that’s a given - when on standby, the battery goes down roughly 8% every 5 hours, so approx. 27% per day on standby.

While I’m really glad to see how much Linux phone development sped up, they are still nowhere near daily driver status - even the phones built with Linux support in mind are not faring well from what I’ve seen. Even then, I’m keeping this Poco X3 because Android’s days seem to be numbered.

Aye, it’s tough alright. A single word can have so many differenf forms, some with entirely different meanings, it’s insane.

🇵🇱 wycinanki, translates to “cutouts”

If they were to be referenced a bit more directly it would probably be like “papierowe ludziki” = paper people (diminutive)

I know, right? I tried cutting one in half with a knife and it was like trying to cut a nylon belt with a butter knife - virtually impossible, and the lil guy didn’t even feel it!

Honestly no clue. I’ve seen the term on the bug’s Wikipedia page first, and it stuck with me since.

I’ve looked into the word itself a bit and interestingly it seems like it’s only ever used to refer specifically to the Hippoboscidae family. Weird name for a shoe brand 😅

And yeah, perfectly engineered is just about the best way to describe them. Their exoskeletons are crazy strong - no amount of stomping will kill them, and I mean that wholeheartedly. One time I had to burn one to a crisp with a lighter because I had no other choice, and the little guy didn’t want to leave my house.

I hate these little guys! Or at least a relative of them - the deer ked (Lipoptena cervi).

Very well adapted to their environment to the point of impressiveness, so I do have respect for them, but that doesn’t change the fact that they’re so hard to remove from clothing! At least most of them don’t bother with biting into humans.

I think compatibility was also being taken into account here. When not looking at compatibility, JXL is the best hands down. It’s criminal how little software supports it.

Well, until we see people randomly floating or chunks of the world disappearing, the answer will probably remain “who knows”

Ayep! It worked just fine during those 8 mags in that edit, but then started malfunctioning in the same way again.

Alright, done! I tried to film the gun having trouble firing but weirdly enough it was functioning just fine this time around. I’ll check on it again tomorrow.

Sure thing! I’ll disassemble the gun real quick and snap a few pics, and append them to the post body. Give me one hour max.

Yep, if it were a GBB it would pretty much be a gas issue, but temperature problems are basically non existent on GNBs with CO2 systems, which this one is (different thing with green gas), so that’s why I disregarded it.

Not really a weird dream other than the fact that it happened at all, considering I’ve rarely been getting any dreams recently.

Dreamt about waking up to see the new university timetable be only days starting from 6 AM, except for Monday which started at 4 AM.

I was honestly so used to bullshit like this I didn’t even realise I was dreaming and had a panic attack inside of the dream.

From my past dreams, however, I remember having a machete duel to the death with Thanos. I don’t remember who won.

Glad to know I’m not alone. Surely there’s something behind the veil, right? Right?
