It just thinks you’re a garden variety redneck.

Sounds like one of those rare cases where engineering and marketing might agree on something.
Have you tried Linux Mint yet?
I recently installed it on a Dell laptop (work) to dual boot, and it seemed pretty much as simple as installing windows.
I’m a daily Linux user and had been using other distros in VMs, but I still wanted to try it.
I’d venture a guess that his primary skill in life and business is pressuring other people so that he gets what he wants.
Yeah, as if plenty of men wouldn’t have a baby with a rich woman if she was offering $100k/mo child support or some shit.
The numbers work differently if you swap the sexes like that, but the motivations don’t.
Yeah it’s depressing and stupid, but for what it’s worth, it is much less about you and much more about all the bad faith fucknuggets out there who have spent decades learning to mimic good faith curious people.
Have you also not seen enough to learn why the “just asking questions” justification isn’t super effective around here?
It’s used as thinly veiled cover for spreading malicious bullshit while pretending the speaker isn’t lying to their audience. I’m not accusing you of this, in fact I’m explaining it hoping that you’re genuine.
Feels like a strange move, from an American who is used to seeing the EU do things that should put our government to shame.
Are they trying to get the US to join the EU? Lol
That sounds like a great plan for all types of media. We would better document our history and make so much human creativity accessible to those who cannot afford to indulge in what’s currently for sale.
Why do we not do this? Oh wait, it’s MONEY? Pfft, it will never happen.
Agreed. It’s a manifestation of society’s collective acceptance that money > humans and all businesses should be expected to operate that way full speed ahead.
And unfortunately, it’s not just the businesses’ fault. Do we really think fast food consumers would reward the drive thru that adds a dollar to every burger so that your order is taken and cooked by real people?
Too true
There’s also the fact that the mass market wants their cheap shit. Make something to last 10x as long at 3x the price, and sure folks will buy it but the market share would be minuscule.
I’ve noticed that I’m in away mode way more in office than when working from home. Nobody has ever said anything to me, but I guess I get more self conscious about it when I’m at home.
But then I’ve realized that ever since I started running Linux and using the browser versions of the M365 apps, I’m in Away mode a lot and I should just ignore it.
Honestly I think you’re giving the sheep’s human counterparts too much credit. They don’t acknowledge that they are potential prey, even while actively being victimized.
Or “Once I am elected, meat is back on the menu boys!”
The half the sheep cheer and tell him to eat those other annoying sheep over there.
Dimmable RGB LED bulbs are for this. One command can turn on all the lights to 100% in soft white color. Another can set them all to 1% and orange color. The color change makes the room even darker than just setting the lights to 1% at normal color.
That’s the family-friendly version anyway. If I’m the only one up, I’m totally content with everything off.
I think we will stick with built-in batteries rather than any kind of swapping. I always thought the battery swapping idea was neat, but the real world cares about money more than anything.
To have ubiquitous battery swapping stations would be a huge amount of infrastructure. But to have ubiquitous vehicle charging you basically just have to run wires to existing parking spots.
That is combined with the fact that I think batteries, especially LFP batteries, have a lot more cycles in their lifetime than your 10 year estimate would suggest. I’ve read 4000 cycles for LFP in a few places. That’s more than a decade even if you fully charge and discharge the battery every single day. Drive a more realistic number of miles/kms per day and then the chronological age of the battery might be more important than how many cycles are on it.
I’ve never seen anybody do Krusty so dirty. He’s just a depressed celebrity with substance abuse problems. Necessarily a bit shady, probably not a great role model, but there is a human being somewhere under that makeup!
