I might be missing some piece of information, being outside the US and all that, but isn’t the Supreme Court stuffed with politically-biased people that are old, over conservative, showered in money on the regular, for life, with zero accountability for anything they do or don’t do?
Because I have no idea how anyone would see this as “politically neutral”.
Yeah, wayland good, etc etc.
Now we’re at the point where wayland is becoming the only option, while there are still some things that don’t work well, like showing up a modal, opening a context menu in a window that wasn’t in focus, copy/pasting from non foreground UI applications… All this under KDE, which is somewhat large in terms of good DE.
I understand the argument that if we have to move, we have to start the move at some point. But I’m not sure we have to move. People keep telling X is a messy dangerous unmaintained eldritch horror sucking on your souls every seconds, but as a user, if moving back to X fixes all the tiny weird issues and shows no obvious downside, it’s hard to justify the switch.
Interestingly, the two example you shared (Sonic Unleashed and the whole Sonic franchise being bad) are likely a good example of “hanging with the bad crowd”. Unleashed is… not great, in my opinion, but the whole franchise? Please. We’re not talking Sonic06 level of horrible decisions.
Another view on this is, if you enjoy something, and people have to tell you it’s bad just so you know, it can’t be that bad. People enjoy different things, and seriously, the toxicity of large communities is the worst thing ever. At this point, even with what seems to be “unanimously loved”, you’ll be able to find a large enough group of people happy to tell you it’s shit.
With that said, some games are really, really bad. But these games usually don’t need to be pointed out for people to know.
edit: dang, that was full of typo.
I have no way of knowing for sure, but I keep hearing people are actually using loans for day to day stuff like groceries.
In what world is that sustainable for longer than like, a month?
It’s the first time I hear systemd or wayland were spelling the death of the linux desktop (not even gonna mention gnome, it’s a choice).
There are controversies around these two, some extremely valid, some a bit over the top, but both do work adequately for the vast majority of common use cases. I’d even argue that systemd (the init process) is better as far as being user friendly. And I say “user”, not “poweruser” nor “sysadmin”. And wayland is an opportunity to clear some long-lasting backward stuff, and even though it is possible to find issue today, for regular (and new) users, it has no bearing on the usability of their system.
Planes they already have can’t really be grounded immediately without replacements. Buying replacements takes time and money. Negotiating contracts also takes time. Pre existing contracts tying a company to boeing probably exist in some places. There’s probably some incentive to not drop a somewhat strategic business on a whim. And maybe some people believe that boeing will start pulling their head out of their ass at some point.
And all that would be a hindrance assuming there is a will to stop buying boeing planes, AND move to another, potentially foreign business like Airbus.
Does this mean that the police will not be using violence? :)
There’s also something to say about someone that was a racist in his mind, but made some effort to move in a better direction and/or live in isolation, versus someone that’s actively moving toward ruining other people lives with the benefits they reap.
Unfortunately, porn is getting banned, so little Ben will not have his happy ending.
Yes. But I worry about your premises. Except for a few thing, gaming is not a 10 hour long experience every time; you can just easily slip-it in any free time. Not having the time to play video games sort of implies you never have free time, which would be concerning.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding the question and it is not about having time to play video games as much as will to play video games. Interests can shift over time; for some people, it’s playing different types of games, for other, it’s having different hobbies over time.
I think the same way people have to be a bit social, they need a bit of “me” time here and there. All things in balance and all that. But the material “time” needed to play video games? Yeah, it’s there.
You’re talking about fast food. And even them are slowly (very slowly) moving toward reusable/washable stuff.
Some fast food, if eating there (not to-go) have limited waste, as far as the customer side is concerned. Actual restaurants, aside from straws everything’s reusable. And they’re probably a bit more efficient than cooking at home, too.
It might just be a case of stopping supporting places that are not moving in line with the time.
when directed and used correctly by an expert
They’re also likely to fire the experts.
Things LLM can’t do well without extensive checking on large corpus of data:
What is it they want to make “more efficient” again? Digesting thousands of documents, filter extremely specific subset of data, and shorten the output?
Oh.
That’s the plan. Attack subject that are traditionally seen as taboo/sensitive/whatever, then extend. CSAM content, porn in general, even random bulletin board with cringey content these days, are used as the entrypoint. You target those, people are wary about defending their rights because of the flagship topic, so laws are changed to put some extra layers of tracking, surveillance, etc.
Step two is claim whatever site/service the current government dislike falls under an imaginary category that allows using these layers of surveillance. And these are extra hard to remove once put in place, because nobody wants to break their surveillance toy.
It’s never about the porn, it’s never about the kids, it’s never about our security when a proposal shows up and talks about breaking encryption, privacy, etc.
Stuff we want: protecting kids, having privacy.
Stuff these proposal do: break privacy, don’t care about kids (or anyone else for that matter).
Seems pretty simple to me. Again.
He would pay someone to do it for him, then claim he did it by itself, fumble doing it again on camera, an complain people are harassing poor baby musky and storm off.
Ah, you used logic. That’s the issue. They don’t do that.
The end result is the same though; if the bar is set to “be vaccinated against a minimal set of preventable disease”, and either people are happy to not be, or worse, because there’s always a worst option, we start seeing more cases of people falsely claiming to be vaccinated while they’re not, other countries might start tightening the grip.
…how would we know that some vaccination certificates are bogus? I have no doubt that some people would be bright enough to travel while having measles or whatever. It already happened, and increasing the amount of people in this situation is unlikely to heighten their awareness of it :(
Weren’t they saying good thing about vaccines a few week ago? After saying they were useless? After saying they were efficient? After saying they caused whatever? After saying they weren’t against them? After saying they caused cognitive decline in kids? After saying they did not have an opinion? After saying they would not use them?
If a massive amount of people were not put in harms way by this senile sick idiot, it would be hilarious to make a montage of their interviews flip-flops.
It’ll cost $25 to produce. Selling cost is another matter entirely.
