I'm not an electronic engineer but I'm interested in making some simple circuit boards to solve some everyday problems. Will give this a watch!

It's not just them. Once a precedent gets set, all reverse engineering projects will get killed. Maybe that's the goal

Yes they said this when I was a kid too. Thankfully they were right and everyone has been pooting about in their solar powered spaceships since 2015

The irony of him making this speech in those shoes. He's like some kid in Brooklyn dressed as an 1869s pickpocket

It's meta humour. The joke is in how ridiculous the assertion is. 1) the person is aware that they will never be in a position to have those sexual relations 2) it's a parody of how whatever the context of the conversation, there are people who will reduce it to sex

So when it's run at a profit and eventually bought out by some firm in the way everything is nowadays, who will it answer to? It doesn't make sense to me that you'd complain that it's a right wing organisation but simultaneously will it to be run like all the other right wing organizations.

I don't like the idea that the BBC should be financially independent. It's a bit like libertarian ideals and the reality is that those don't work for every scenario. Any paid service would inherently be open to being co-opted by the right wing/capitalist interests anyway

A subscription would still mean catering to what the masses want to see. More of the same. As it is, art can be created that isn't popular in its time. Here in Canada, it's the right wing trying to get rid of our public broadcaster. Seem to remember it was the same in the UK too a few years back.

It's accused of both being a left wing and right wing vehicle because it's founding principles are that it isn't supposed to pay allegiance to any party and has to present all views. It's licensing model means it can create award winning niche content without having to pander to advertisers.

But it's programs are syndicated for a fee abroad. They don't pay a licence because they pay directly for its content.

Dynablaster isn't a translation though, it's a new name, probably because Bomberman can have some pretty negative connotations in some parts of Europe.

All views must be parroted directly from old YouTube hot takes. This is the way.

My theory is that it's all bullshit and a way of selling their product like "oh haha our product is sooooo smart it outsmarted us and got into the wild and then outsmarted others. Imagine what it could do for you"

I feel inspired. I bought a new screen protector weeks ago and haven't installed it yet. Today is the day!

What's there to disagree with? I'm describing how I use YouTube. 20-30 is pretty much my max, but I don't find them prohibitive in that range, I just watch them at different times. But for me an hour becomes a really niche situational watch, and then if I couple that with niche subject matter...

16LittleBits @16littlebits.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
The effort going in is documentary-level, but when I use YouTube it's for more short-form content when I don't have an hour to spare. It's hard to find time to watch YT in a chunk like that.

I saw a Reddit thread about this show a while back citing it as one of the worst cases of power creep in a show, to the point that people said they didn't like what the show has become and it forgot its initial premise

Yep. Anyone who thinks our enemies only run right-wing bots is only seeing 1/3rd of the picture. Division is the game, and you can be twice as effective at dividing if you play both sides

It's sad when a YT channel that used to be interesting just becomes "the date of [console] emulation is INSANE!" Like if you don't have any ideas just don't release a video. This shit turns a sub into a block real quick.

I used one of these a month or so ago while doing some repairs on a model 1 genesis. Stood up from it and thought I'd overstretched my shoulder/back. One month and multiple physio/massage sessions later I was still struggling terribly! Didn't recover properly till I took a big fall somewhere.

If you're ever short of screws, take something apart and put it together again. This is where screws come from and a part of nature

I always assume a lot of UI changes come via user requests. "Needs a more modern look" is a common complaint. My experience is in health care software but we'd get requests from some ancient nurse somewhere to move something to somewhere that made more sense to them too.

Surely the nail in the toshinden series should've been when BAT3 and Tekken 3 were released in the same month with such a huge gulf between them. With 4 being a step backwards, I fail to see why there is any market at all for a BAT rerelease anyway
