One early setback for the recently featured #Mercedes G-Wagen was that in the 1970s, the most obvious potential customer, the German Bundeswehr, opted instead for the #Volkswagen #Iltis, developed by #Audi on the basis of the 1950s #DKW #Munga. The main significance of the Iltis is that its all-wheel drive system was the starting point for the Audi #Quattro line. The Bundeswehr eventually got its Gs too.

@drewharwell There are pieces out there that explain how it works, but there's room for documenting the sensation of experiencing the illusion too.

@drewharwell it is tempting for them to be dramatic because it gets them clicks on their articles. Plus the patterns that the robots create are very convincing so people anthropomorphise them. I think this is just simple human nature.

Not my first #mechanicalkeyboard, but I’m impressed with this #keychron K8 pro. The key caps have this curved shape that reminds me of my old #C64. Thus despite the new tech, it has a #retrocomputing feel.

TIL the word “overmorrow” is an archaic word that means “the day after tomorrow” and it should not be archaic.

I still maintain that KDA or K/D is unimportant to winning modes like capture the flag. There are advantages to dying like having 2 grenades after re-spawning.

We won! Blue team, all of us have really bad KDAs.

@gamingonlinux I don’t think large numbers of users are necessary for a social network. What is important is the quality of the users.

Reading this:

“One reason is that it seemed tech-savvy users heavily dominated the platform.”

and I don’t think that’s a bad thing at all. Having a social network where almost everyone is tech savvy is very powerful and gives the community a common interest to rally around.

Shitty news sites still barfing out these “Mastodon is losing users” crappy articles I see. Now it’s MakeUseOf just parroting The Guardian huh.

Yes the numbers dropped from the Twitter leaver influx, it was always going to happen. However Mastodon retained a massive amount of those users fediverse.observer/stats = ~1 million additional active users versus before the Twitter crap happened.

@hyde Yes, not only I ordered the #Ubuntu CD but also I organised an install party in an high school. I think I'm getting old!

@gpowerf it's getting there. LJN is a curse that passes from one major publisher to another. From LJN to Acclaim to THQ to now Ubisoft. Eventually Ubisoft will dissolve and the ghost of LJN will move onto another major publisher. Square Enix you next.
