For it to be buoyant, density would have to be less than air. If we're holding to conservation of mass, then the bottle would have to be significantly larger than the paladin, which doesn't sound particularly stealthy.

If there are in a sealed container that wouldn't matter, unless it flies using a magical force without an equal and opposite force, at which point you might as well just throw out conservation of mass.

The website seems to work fine for me, but they seem to only support open hardware (e.g. Raspberry Pi or Mycroft). That doesn't mean it wouldn't work on other things though, especially with open software, but I wouldn't be surprised if Echos require updates to be signed by Amazon, so it might require some hacking.

Ah, it's a shame that we can't just have cool software. But such is the world now, it seems. I'm honestly a bit surprised at there being much of that in FOSS, I thought it was really quite commie-coded, but it seems every second project I think is interesting is somehow problematic.

I'm on Hyprland at the moment, which I've heard a couple things about, including in that article, but I'm looking at Niri. Are they less controversial?

The install script one hasn't aged particularly well. Although I haven't used the official one, so maybe it's not up to IRC standards. Everything else though, totally on point. When is this from?

Maybe he's saying it metaphorically. What makes a monster and what makes a man, and all that.

Yeah, I'm definitely not the type of person to ride before I've got a license to. But my concern for getting the RE isn't safety - whatever I get if I don't go straight to it would probably be similarly safe or otherwise - but rather that I would be worried about damaging the bike, and have to choose between practising control of the bike and almost certainly dropping it at some point, or not doing that and not having good enough skills when I actually need them.

Yeah, I've been watching a fair few of his videos recently. Hadn't seen that one though, so thanks for the link.
