After a recent update, I started getting prompts for using a having controller. I know there’s a way to fix, it probably has to do with UDEF rules or something, but I just can’t quite care enough to figure it out.

On the other hand, I know there’s a fix. There’s always a fix.

And nothing is ever added just to fuck with me. So, yes, but more on the level of “eh 🤷‍♂️”

Absolutely

Even if it was “cancel” that would just be a slightly longer delay.

They’ll stop pushing AI by integrating it throughout the system similar to how Internet Explorer is tied to everything. Except much more invasive.

Their goal is certainly not reducing AI, it’s making it seamlessly incorporated in everything you do.

I’m a little amused by the down votes.

Yes some cities have a lot of perks, no the air quality isn’t as bad as the 60s, but pretending that taking the metro to the park is comparable to living in a forest is a little silly.

Thanks!

Which show is that from?

Have you seen conservative commentary?

It really does say something about the audience they’re targeting

How does geo engineering dim the sun?

geo-

word-forming element meaning “earth, the Earth,” ultimately from Greek geo-, combining form of Attic and Ionic gē “the earth, land, a land or country”

I say buzz buzz buzz, and it’s just because…I got 96 tears and 96 eyes

• Turn off your porch lights. Fireflies are incredibly sensitive to artificial light and it can confuse them.
• Ditch the manicured lawn and embrace native plants. In addition to being easier to care for, they suit the local environment and conserve water.
• Leave some leaves behind when you rake in the fall. They’re a great place for fireflies to find food, stay cool, and lay eggs.
• Plant shrubs, tufting grasses, and other, large plants. These can shelter fireflies during rainstorms and other severe weather.
• If you spot fireflies, jot down when and where you saw them and add your observations to citizen science databases like iNaturalist, Firefly Watch or Firefly Atlas to help scientists collect data.

Good article, but the bit about airline customers being only slightly less likely to use the airline they hate is hardly something you can blame on customers.

If the alternatives either don’t exist (e.g., United is the only feasible route between city A and City B), or they are both shitty (Delta is just as shitty as United, so the fact that United breaks guitars doesn’t mean I’m more likely to pick Delta), then poor customer service is just the cost of existing.

Same situation as price gouging, or Apple vs Google, Ford vs Chevy, or Samsung vs LG. Yeah, you have options, but none of them respect you. So you can not travel, not communicate, and not be entertained, or you can “voluntarily” participate in what society has become.

When did selling a product instead of a subscription become a bad business model?

Edit: I have a lot of trouble believing that a product that could theoretically have value to every person on the planet for current and every future generations, that can’t be passed along used or resold, couldn’t develop a successful sustainable business model.

Note it’s the second part, but they’re both interesting.

Do you have a source we can reference for that particular bit of shitbaggery?

Edit: congressional report on the shit bags in question:

Certainly isn’t closed but it’s a great step.

Just got Kubuntu set up, quite happy with it so far.

Kinda hit or miss on Star Trek. Lower Decks is just about the best show ever though.

(Mint is good, don’t like Cinnamon all that much, and it’s an Ubuntu derivative anyway, so figured Kubuntu would have KDE ‘native’)

(Tried Fedora, couldn’t get codec/video stuff to work right)

(Steam is generally easier and more supported on Debian derivatives, at least for now)

Lively pic, thank you for sharing.

The Japanese garden there is also amazing for anyone who has the opportunity to visit.

The best kind of regulation.

Free reign for the oligarchs to fuck shit up and permanently establish industry, then add just enough to box out potential competition.

Maybe the dust cloud will help the survivors cool off?
