Honestly I am not aware/well enough to even fix the kinks in my own system let alone hop or do much real development, so that's a no from me for moving to a platform with low support to a platform with even less support.

If we could just get the brave to get out of bed in the morning...

Buy a house? Best I could hope for (assuming I could even make it to the border without a car) would be if they'd let me get into the MAID program. A tester for cheap brain preservation, if I'm lucky.

This is not a joke, I find the pearl-clutching about euthanasia silly when the alternative is business-as-usual (particularly here in the US where social programs are fought against).

Your first mistake was assuming that Linux users would ever watch a video. That's definitely the issue here, you need more text to convince people that they're wrong (it is a good use of your time, and a worthy goal).

You fool!

you’re going to have to take a few tiny steps towards society, because society won’t make the first move

I feel like this works both ways. See Bowling Alone. Loneliness is a rising statistic, though unlike others I see isolation/escapism(/internet usage) as a symptom not a cause. I think money is a big reason.

Not sure about OP, but some of my perspective is from living in a tiny village in car-centric USA so there is not much social here for me, if anything at all. The "my people" are probably out there, perhaps even nearer than I think but that doesn't mean we'll ever have reason to know each other.

They need to change the likeness a little.

Elo, who? What? Nooo, he's... uhh... Æléon 3000! Does it at all resemble a real set of events that happened? I sure hope not, that'd be an interesting coincidence.

Seems a bit odd to have so much standard, correct-era tech. Having anachronism seems like the point, the futurism bit. Like Quadrilateral Cowboy, or often Cowboy Bebop.

The one exception may be the stuff like that Nissan 300ZX (1985) digital dashboard, that feels anachronistic in an entirely different way. I could imagine a 3hr video essay on how expensive the design was, or perhaps a Technology Connections breakdown of the functionality/workings/issues etc.

I'm hoping more for brain preservation (non-upload, lower cost like chemical fixation+non-cryo). Get me out of here.

I'm hesitant to swap DEs, XFCE has WM tweaks I really like (accessibility>hide title of windows when maximized) and on top of that I made my own ultra-minimal XFWM theme (frameless, 12px titlebar, works well for a rolled-up music player or watching a video in mpv looking like PiP).

I mean you can buy it here in a normal store. So I'm not sure if you mean a dentist can't use/provide it, or if you're thinking about the nano forms of it.

Edit, just saw this:

the FDA regulates dental products like toothpaste as cosmetics rather than therapeutic agents for cavity prevention

Interestingly, many ingredients used in dental care, including fluoride, are employed off-label. This means they are used in ways not officially approved by the FDA but are still considered effective based on scientific evidence and clinical practice

For other toothpaste that still strengthens enamel, there is toothpaste with hydroxyapatite (which can be ingested, at least that specific ingredient). Though it is probably more expensive.

 

Personal note: Aside from a software demo (+very small change to other demo) and a basic 3D character controller (which I need to work on again), I really haven't worked with this much.

I have been more focused on vertex color models and their use in Godot. Haven't done much here either... but have started a collection of materials, got billboarded models* working and a simple gridmap.

*=face negative Y in blender, apply rotation. Otherwise it will not export properly.
