Windows 11: Add advertisement to the start menu, add remote Artificial intelligence to your daily live. Require new CPUs and motherboards / hardware, ignoring the market for old computers.

What will they do next?

  • More advertisement.
  • More features that require an always on internet connection?
  • Forced restart for software updates

This is why I expect Linux share to slowly increase until the old computers die and you will not be allowed to choose to boot another operating system besides Windows on your Microsoft-Copilot+ PC that would be your only option.

When playing on community servers I never witnessed aim bots until now.

  • Uncletopia servers are okay...
  • there are funny inofficial game modes like:
    • x1000 multiplies all weapon stats by 1000
    • classwars one team is one class. for example medics vs scouts
    • randomizer, get a random weapon (for example Medigun as heavy)
    • jump training maps: solve pakours
    • grappling hooks on ctf (community maps like ctf orange)
    • 100 players in one server

So: Community servers should be used more often by normal players, they offer diverse different maps and gamemodes and are a decentralized solution to the bot problem.

Some nice communities are locked in that deepest level of hell & despair ...

Wow, the summoning of 4 other elder stars using the same summoning circle that Saturn used was crazy. And the Gorosei can use telepathy somehow, how did the communicate without den den snails from Meri-Jose to egghead?

Also it seems like one of the Gorosei needs to physically travel close to a location to summon the others.

Maybe the 5 Gorosei combined will manage to interrupt the broadcasting of Vegapunk, once he gets to the most interesting point of his message to the world -- that would be typical Oda fashion.

In 2020 according to statistics 82.66% of all americans lived in cities, not spread across half the state. Urban areas and country side should be developed differently of course.

If I remember correctly all important news was read to him. Like the news of Aces execution or the incident of Dragon vs Blackbeard at Baltigo.

The information in the newspaper about getting Yonko Status could be deduced from an image. And as far as we know Luffy has never gone to school. So is he an illiterate?

Now I Question why this should be better than wood? While trees grow fine in nature without human presence, the Mushrooms breeding has to be closely monitored and energy has to be invested into nutrients and temperature regulation. Maybe wood and Mushrooms could be combined but I do not see this completely remove the wood use case.

Lawyers and copyright issues-- the legal system, they are probably always bombarded from all sides by the legal industry and content creators on copy right issues.

How do you guys update python versions and all the libraries you have installed? I have multiple like

  • pygame
  • ptpython
  • pandas
  • Pillow
  • icecream
  • ... is it not a massive hassle to have to reinstall all of this with every new version and fight the old version on ubuntu?

This story is amazing. I personally thought about canal development in a more positive light, as cargo transport over seas is the most fuel efficient form of transport known to men, beats even trains. Rowing in boats is also fun! Also most landlocked countries are poorer and have less freedom, because they have 0 access to the open oceans to trade and flee opressors and neighbors.

I think that the additional weight on the water on the surface of the outer airplane body increases friction with the air, and also weight of the aircraft. But does the fuel consumption increase? And by how much?

In chapter 385 Lucci states

You learn the name of the fruit when you gain its power

  • so why did Luffy not learn the name of the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika after eating it?
  • or did he mean you name the fruit yourself after learning of its abilities?

Is there a map that shows the minimum recorded temperature for each spot on earth? This would be interesting to see the coldest places on earth, and also see the countries where water never freezes because of ambient temperature ... I guess the every spot in the US would still be under 0°C ?

I only found this map of global average temperature, not minimum temperature?

Purely text based content is way easier on the servers. If all Lemmy users uploaded videos and high res images all the time, the servers could not keep up, right?

  • consider that they use hardware that is run on donation (or their own) money

The Figarland bloodline was first mentioned in non Canon Material:

  • the name "Figaraland" was first mentioned in the Film RED movie in relation to Shanks bloodline by the 5 elders
    • that movie is NON Canon material so it should not matter what is mentioned there, but this seems way to specific to ignore
  • now in the most recent chapter we get Saint Figarland Garling, another member of that bloodline and God Valley
  • also Oda revealed in a Volume related to film RED (Volume Volume 4000000000 titled "RED") that Shanks was found as an infant at God Valley
  • this paints a picture how Shanks is closely linked to the World Government, the Celestial Dragons and God Valley even before it is stated in the Canon story

So now my opinion:

  • canon secrets should not be revealed in non Canon material first, because it blurs the line between canon and non canon material, making it more difficult to see what actually is the truth for the average fan.
    • this also blurs the line as to what can be seen as a valid argument in theory crafting. Now even non canon material is cited as a source for a theory, even though this is still invalid and should always be mentioned
  • this seems to be a (admittedly smart) money making trick: reveal facts in non canon material to spur fan engagement
  • there is still a chance that shanks bloodline does not matter to the actual story, but as hints get more and more specific this becomes unlikely.

I lately learned about memory allocations and use of malloc. The malloc command is defined in the POSIX standard, as can be seen here It says

The order and contiguity of storage allocated by successive calls to malloc() is unspecified.

So what is the default allocation strategy malloc uses on Linux. Is that allocation strategy different then from windows/ macOS or Android?

I heard malloc on Linux uses the Buddy memory allocation strategy is that true, since on wiki it only says the Linux Kernel uses it, but not Linux itself, idk?

Lets start listing pre timeskip main villains that have already returned

  • Alvida (in cross guild)
  • Buggy (cross guild)
  • ((Arlong)) through flashback only on fishmen island
  • Smoker (Punk Hazard)
  • Wapol (Reverie, as king of evil drum kingdom)
  • Crocodile ( cross guild)
  • Bellamy
  • Blackbeard
  • Moria (on Fullalead island Perona tries to save him)
  • Boa
  • the Admirals

In sum 11 main villains returned

Villains that did not return:

  • Axe Hand Morgans (his son is still at Kobys side tho)
  • Kuro (but his right hand man still was present, while Garp talks about Rocks)
  • Don Krieg
  • Arlong
  • Enel (even-tho he got his crazy moon cover story)

In sum 5 villains did not return ... Did I loose some main villains (I do not count Doflamingo, since he was only a post ts main villain) This means 11/17 = 65% of old characters did return after the timeskip to the story again, which is an ecxeptional result for a long running series imo ....


What are your general thoughts on villains returning into the story after they have been defeated. In my opinion that can get boring, if the character is not seen in a new position / context. So Crocodiles return is more boring compared to Buggys return, since Crocodile is not currently challenged and did not change his personality.


I hope some of the lesser popular characters get their chance to shine at the end, adding "depth" to seemingly unimportant characters.

For example Axe Hand Morgans still does not know he was hypnotized into believing he captured captain Kuro. Because of that hypnosis he became an arrogant high ranking officer. Bringing Axe Hand Morgans and Kuro together could lead to the revelation that his live was built on a lie. And then he could accept his son Helmeppo again, as Helmeppo reaches the same rank as his father through merit. (Currently Helmeppo has the rank below his fathers captain rank)
