It’s a planet and a planet forming disc, but super interesting nevertheless. I wonder how stable a Trojan configuration would be with planets and not just a bunch of asteroids.

Money gone. This is pretty much they insurance for bad debt and they have a lot of it.

Tha does seem fun, but for someone who has zero idea of Japanese, how “scalable” is this for the rest of the language? Does it generally follow the pattern or is it like 95% of the intros/tutorials where everything falls apart the moment you try to do something slightly more complex than the example?

It really depends on a lot of factors. I just came back from 10 month overland travel of South America. It is cheap over there - much cheaper than back home most of the time. We saved with my girlfriend for couple of years, rented our house and went for it. On the road we met all kinds of people. A LOT of European retirees. You can live quiet the life over there with the couple thousand euro western European pensions. Some of them go for a few months each year, some have been traveling for years already. Lots of younger people just did what we did - saved for some time and then went for it. Average salary in countries like Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Brazil, etc can be just a few hundred dollars a month, so not that hard to do better than that. It’s similar on other continents - Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam in Asia; Kenya, Morocco, etc in Africa - popular destination with lower standards of living that makes them easy to travel to for longer. When you travel for weeks and months it also gets cheaper per day compared to when you go on a vacation for 7-10 days - you cook, you can find deals, you travel a lot - not just to the tourist hotspots and traps. Bali can be just as expensive as a western country, but the Indonesian country side is cheap as hell. Having an own house also helps immensely - you do not pay rent in the months and years prior to leaving and after that you collect rent.

Then there are of course people with inheritance, daddy money, trust funds, etc. In all my travels I have not met any yet. They do not tend to go on the longer trips usually.

You can pretty much forget about making it solely through vlogging, blogging and writing for magazines and websites. It can add something every now and the , but there are single digits few normal people that have made it work full time.

Are there any constants that we actually know to have varied along the lifetime of the universe?

This one is the opposite

I have a feeling that Steam Deck is a large driver of the latest uptick?

There are between 10 and 20 people actively working on the app in various capacities, there was an update on team structure couple of days ago - https://lemmy.ml/post/1372165 It is the original dev who is stepping down and who says he wasn’t actively involved with development for a while.

It will be a pretty major redesign of the chasis and body to accommodate a removable battery and the cover, so I think it would make little economical sense to maintain two designs for every phone sold here.

How is dropping the i simplifying the branding 😂 From Intel Core i7 to Intel Core 7. And Intel Core Ultra 9…
