Which phone is this? I recently got a Unihertz Jelly Star 2 as it was the only decent "small Android" option I found while researching.

I like the idea of their products, but I just wish Unihertz wasn't so sketchy -- they refuse to release any kernel sources. (Which is in direct violation of the GPL!)

Thank you for mentioning this detail again.

I generally remember that there's some problematic issue with Unihertz but often seem to manage to forget exactly which issue it is.

Non-compliance with the GPL is frustratingly common (over a huge range of company sizes too).

Not at helped by the fact that the community managed to (stupidly) burn bridges with the one person who seemed to be effecting actual change within Chinese companies with regard to GPL compliance.


I also gave up on multiplayer and casually playing on Nintendo Switch has got me back into it. For me, it's a skill issue. I'm just not as good as I used to be. I play games on easy now so that I can blast through it quickly. Otherwise I'll (have to) set the game down for a couple weeks and completely forget what was going on in the game.

I have the complete opposite experience with Minecraft. My kids play peaceful flat land creative and it's the most boring thing to me. I'll take boss fights without weapons any day.

Flat land creative is boring. I agree with you there. I would use a normal world and explore it a bit, find a good spot to make my home, mine for materials, create a store room for all of stuff getting mined, make secret entrances that would trigger with pistons and stuff, things like that. I guess some people might find that boring too, but I found it pretty relaxing. Of course this was usually just something to do on the side, while something else was going on. As a singular focus I won't do it.

I used to work a job with a lot of downtime, so it was perfect for that. Something to fill the time, but easy to pick up and put down as needed, and I could still keep an eye on what was going on at work to know if I needed to do something.


I love this but I approach it a bit differently. I don't think this is a good excuse to write bad or unmaintainable code. Sure some shortcuts are fine but it should be useful for the next person.

Personally I try to use free hosting services so that I don't have to pay to keep it running when I abandon it. (That could be AWS free tier or blockchain or IPFS etc). Use a public repository so someone else can find it when it's inevitable dropped. I always make sure to have good documentation so that once it's found anyone can get it running.


I accidentally stumbled across this same experiment last week when my son put some sprinkles in his soda water. Cool to know it works with raisins too.


Why burn the NFT? Wouldn't it be better to transfer the ownership of the NFT along with the physical item?


That gets back to crazygringo's point that someone down the line could sell the NFT paired with a counterfeit physical item and it might even be hard to tell who is the scammer and who is the victim.


It's cost for me. Electricity isn't cheap where I live and when your house is poorly insulated you require even more energy for a heat pump.


For those that are curious it displays a Quora answer that states:

>Thomas Running

>Running was invented in 1612 by Thomas Running when he tried to walk twice at the same time.

It's actually quite and interesting post if you follow the link. Obviously it's not correct in the purest form but there is justification for this answer.


On the other hand "who discovered running?" quotes a tweet telling a variant of the same joke.

I wonder if GPT-3 has learned about Mr Running yet?


At what point do the layers of abstraction and sarcasm become indistinguishable from truth?

I don’t know, but I feel like our societal perfect storm + AI + time will get us there.


Yes. It's a common pattern on reddit (and probably other sites) to let people know your intentions, thoughts and feelings to give context to the content of your post
