We have to go deeper.

Did people think they meant something else? Or was it more that they didn’t really elaborate and folks didn’t know quite what they meant?

I can’t imagine it’s going to be very long before Elon’s hostile attitude toward basic safety results in a high-profile catastrophy involving human deaths under the ospices of Space X.

I’ll take the grape ones if you don’t want them.

Particularly Pixie Stix. Grape’s the best flavor of those.

Jesus told me it doesn’t have to be alcohol. He once turned piss into Mtn Dew. I’ve only ever done the opposite.

I think what you’re talking about is called a “LAN”/“Local Area Network”.

Honestly, this isn’t much of a hypothetical for me. At work, my choices are Windows, Mac, or Ubuntu. I’m quite happy with Ubuntu, though I’ve switched away from the default desktop environment to i3.

I use Arch (BTW) on my personal systems. And Ubuntu isn’t as bad as I worried it would be.

My main gripe is snaps. Firefox is practically unusable as a snap. And my employer forbids installing any software (save for a select list of exceptions) not via the officially-supported Ubuntu way of doing things. Chrome is available without snap, so I use it on my work machine. Which annoys me, but if I’m less efficient in my job as a result, it’s their own fault.

Stahp I just watched a 2-hour video analysis of liminal spaces I can only get so hauntological

Honestly, “browser engine” and “lightweight” currently don’t belong in the same sentence. Unless you’re going for something with very little functionality compared to Webkit or Gecko or whatever. We can hope that changes with time, but I don’t think there are a lot of prospects.

As far as “little functionality” options, there’s the Dillo browser. I’m not sure its engine is really easily “seperable”, so to do so might be some work. It’s surprisingly maintained. Its latest release is from 3 months ago. It’s definitely extremely lightweight. (Unless you’re comparing it against, say, elinks or something.)

As for somewhat promising projects that are not yet anywhere near ready for prime time, there’s the Ladybird browser. Again, I don’t know how seperable the engine is. And I don’t know how lightweight this one is either.

And how much are you asking for in research funding?

Hey, everyone, look at this meme I found:

planetary, planetary, intergalactic

But seriously, even so, I think it’d be reasonable to still have per-galaxy navigation systems.

Probably arbitrarily one of the two vectors perpendicular to the plane of the Milky Way? (Assuming it wasn’t necessary for this navigation system to work outside of our galaxy.)

It’s published under a CC BY-NC-SA Creative Commons license, according to Wikipedia. (Look at the “written works” section.)

Democracy Now. Really ought to watch more often.

Chaotic neutral. Always chaotic neutral.

It’s definitely speedrun sort of technique. Not in “intended mechanic”, though not technically a “glitch”, arguably. It’s just a consequece of how the physics engine works. It’s also referred to as a “bomb impact launch” or “BIL”.

The short version: You jump off of a ledge, go into bullet time by pulling out your bow, lay one bomb, wait until just the right time, lay your other bomb (both in mid air) just so that your bombs are lined up, detonate the first bomb, pushing the second bomb into Link.

While in bullet time, forces are massively multiplied, so the force of the bomb being pushed into Link exerts a massive amount of force, sending Link flying. It’s a really nice trick for locomoting and widely applicable. But definitely takes a good amount of practice to get decent at.

Oh, also, you can see OP doing a windbomb in the above video. And if you search Youtube, you can find a ton of great guides on how to do windbombs.

There’s something newer called “BLSS” (bomb… link… slide… something… I forget what it stands for, lol) or “Bless” that’s probably a little more powerful/fast. I got out of speedrunning before that was discovered, so I never learned how to do it. I’ll probably learn at some point.

I was really excited for CJDNS (not to be confused with “Domain Name System”) at one time. It’s a mesh networking protocol. And they’d established an “Internet 2” (as in, a sequel to “The Internet”) based on the CJDNS protocol called “Hyperborea.”

I haven’t heard anything about CJDNS in a good while now. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were other efforts looking to do something roughly the same, but I’m not up to date on anything more recent.

I’ve been playing TotK. (Working on 100%'ing it. I’ve got 52 Korok seeds left to get, and no guides. Probably still have some sidequests to do.)

I miss windbombs so much. The Tulin gust thing is great and all, but it’s really aenemic compared to a good windbomb.

I never got any good at BTBs. Probably why I never tried to speedrun plain old Any%. (I stuck to a couple of individual levels when I was speedrunning. I’m this guy if you’re curious.)

Also, this might be a hot take, but I believe with all my heart that BotW is a “better game” than TotK, but not on purpose. BotW feels kindof unfinished, but I still don’t like TotK anywhere near as much as I like BotW.

I don’t really see myself replaying TotK much. I’ve played BotW like 4 times now (not including speedruns.) And 100%'d it once.

Edit: Oh! Whistle sprinting too! That was the first thing I tried as soon as I started TotK.

If someone told me they “cooked themselves a BLT”, I’d assume they meant they’d baked the bread, fried the bacon, and emulsified the mayonnaise themselves and the slicing and assembly were just the final parts of the process.
