legitimate

Yea, THC vapes are also illegal in most jurisdictions. People still buy and use them.

there’s some unknowns in the industry, but it’s been around for 20 years now

Yet I know of no studies that would look into health of people who are exclusively vaping across even a 5 year span. It's not "some unknowns", we barely know anything about it.

e liquid are all GRAS

This is one of the most wild takes I've heard. Something being safe to eat or put on your skin does not mean you can inhale it and expect no harm. One of the most common examples would be benzaldehyde, which is used as a food additive and in vapes, as a gas it causes irritation to respiratory passages.

The worst part is that sometimes you don't even have to specify a lot of it in the list of ingredients. You can read article 4.2.2.1 of this document, for example.

much safer means of nicotine

And nicotine patches beat both of those by a mile in this regard.

it’s a means of lowering risk

The best way of lowering the risk is using proper, well established methods for quitting smoking before resorting to something like vaping.

You can start with the Wikipedia article. The problematic part here is that we have no long-term studies about vaping and even less studies about people who exclusively vape. There are plenty of studies that indicate that there is a lot of nasty stuff mixed in the aerosol that vapes produce, like this one.

Another thing is that people who are selling these are the same people who sell tobacco and they have decades of experience mudding the research field.

I in general despise vaping as it made a lot of younger people pick up nicotine and it is far more addictive when you are young.

And, well, yes, I am exaggerating with that statement, but the problem is that we don't know for certain. Substitution therapy exists, but I just can't support it when whatever you are using is wildly underresearched.

Very happy for you!

Must warn people against trying vapes as a tool to quit smoking, though. It has the same if not worse health risks in addition to much less research about any long-standing effects.

If the standard nicotine patch approach does not work, please consult with a proper doctor.

People did that too often without any "AI" assistance already.

$ rm -rf /
rm: it is dangerous to operate recursively on '/'
rm: use --no-preserve-root to override this failsafe

More than that, if you were not invested in creating it, you lack the skill for maintaining it. When a problem pops up that "AI" can't solve, slop flop happens.

Well, it's because the whole column is fullscreened instead of a single window in that case. I guess you can abuse it a little bit and write a script that'd switch the column into tabbed mode before fullscreening a window if the column has more than one window in it.

I don't think there is a way to know if the column is already tabbed, though. Might need a bit of unholy incantations to make it all work.

Niri's workspaces are just rows, windows being expelled from the columns when fullscreened is very much expected.

I suppose what you want is floating the window and making it fullscreen, returning it to it's position in the layout after returning it to it's normal size?

To be honest, sounds like a bit of pain to implement.

The coffee one is not correct, vertical katakana should have vertical ー, the same mistake is across the rest of the ad, it also says バン instead of パン.

寿司屋 is technically correct, but you'd never see that on a sign, it sounds more like a description of a place rather than an ad sign, if you know what I mean.

中古 is written like 古中 for some reason? The text under (above) it is barely legible, whatever I can make out of it is just random characters somewhat related to 中古, like 品 or 料, but I can't string it together into something that'd make sense.

...

Did what I probably should have done from the very beginning, looks like this is the source and it came to be before slop became common. The person who made this has clearly used something to generate it, the sheer quantity for the timeline is kind of insane, but they were probably using the old tools.

What's up with the text in the wallpaper? I'd think it's slop, but it looks as if someone deliberately made it look borked.

I might have slipped up on my way here, but I'm happy with how it turned out.

That one is rendered on the CPU.

If you have a client that supports Vencord mods, you can disable it with this.

It's about a junkie doing junkie things. The humour is something like "it's so bad it wrapped around into being good". Depends on whether it's your thing, of course.

 

I'm looking for a website that aggregates specs for gamepads/controllers.

For example, for VR headsets we have VRcompare.

Does anything similar exist for gamepads?
