Someone found a way to weaponise bikeshedding.

it's a mechanism / not a computer,

It's an analog clockwork computer.

there is no mystery, just clickbait as usual.

There's plenty of mysteries about it, hence why it's still a topic of study despite being discovered 120 years ago.

Surprisingly, the inspiration for the paper came from a YouTuber who has been attempting to physically recreate the ancient mechanism.

I was just re-watching clickspring's videos about this yesterday.

That's been on my wishlist for a long time.

Recently I've played a lot of demos from the Steam Next Fest. Before that I think I finished Heaven's Vault, I can dearly recommend it.

I guess it's too much to ask the richest company on the planet to keep a list of a few accounts indefinitely. I'm sure that database is a whole gigabyte sized and maintaining it requires a whole person to check in on it once in a while. Obviously they can only afford that level of effort for a year or two. And we're only taking about removing access from millions of people to something they paid good money for, and also doing it because. Yeah, I'm with you on this one, totally not their fault.

I never said I don't enjoy spicy food. But it's so obviously a dick measuring contest for most people. No one talks about how much salt they can "handle", no one makes fun of people for not being able to stomach a really sweet energy drink.

I mean this whole thread is only popular because the initial proposed underlying thought is "haha, Denmark can't handle spice". It's all very juvenile.

Yeah, I get it. You're cordless, right?

Let's celebrate his life and his accomplishments

I'm a big fan of his work in the field of genocide denial and atrocity apologetics, truly inspirational.
