Yikes, XDA’s reporting has really gone downhill since being bought out.

Finally, I was scrolling to see if anyone else mentioned Fringe. I need to rewatch it sometime, I haven’t seen it in probably a decade or so and I still remember it was one of the first shows that made me realize what really good TV actually is (I was in my early teens at the time).

How much would this really do if such requirements still exist outside the US? I mean I know Tesla sales have been in sharp decline most places anyway, but still.

My brain expanded ED the very wrong way at first and I was… bemused? Confuddled?

Because Twitter doesn’t support Markdown, so Capitalization For Emphasis is the next best thing for some people. ^(or something like that.)

Note that KDE Linux is completely different from Neon:

• Arch-based
• Immutable
  • /usr is a read-only, atomically updated erofs volume backed by a single file, allowing rollback to any of the last 5 OS images
  • No system package management allowed, only Flatpak, AppImage, distrobox, etc

I love the direction they’re going with it, but I personally won’t be running it because I like to tinker.

I really hope this trend sticks around. 🤎

Very well said. Concerning terminology, I did just think of neuronormative, or possibly neuromajoritive?

Tbh, I feel like neurodiverse is the more problematic term, because diversity is a measure of a whole group, not individuals or even subgroups within it. Saying someone is more or less diverse than another is just… nonsense. They can contribute to or represent diversity, but they cannot be diverse.

^(You could argue that’s a nitpick and that language is defined by those who use it, but eh.)

You say that as if it isn’t already trivially easy to do with OSINT. That’s not to say privacy is a lost cause by any means, but we have to pick our battles.

It can be either, it’s a regional difference.

I think you may be confusing “getting money from the government” and “taking money from the government.”

See also: “Receiving contracts from the government for work that will not be completed.”

Semi-related: I like referring to gasoline as dino juice, pterodactyl purée, sauropod syrup, etc. The looks I get make me feel… something, for once.

I’m glad I finished school before the AI era—I put an em dash and a semicolon in the same sentence at least twice in a given paper; this would get flagged every flipping time nowadays.

Sadly strategic poverty only works against those who want to make you buy something. It does very little (and in fact may make things worse) against actors who want to know if they should target you for not being white/straight/wealthy, etc.

Might I suggest a compromise wherein everyone is equally wrong:

dah-tah

Not exclusive, druid gets it too.

This picture at least makes zero sense, I’ll give you that.

I was recently introduced to this which looks fantastic: https://games-on-whales.github.io/

I’m curious if there’s a reason for an outright ban vs simply imposing a premium on the hardware and/or the gas. Why not just level the playing field? Some board members are in favor of it, so it seems possible. Perhaps market it as a smog tax. (Which you don’t have to apply to vehicles, but could later on down the line. And yes, that’s basically a carbon tax by another name.)

On the other hand, I do obviously agree though that health should be considered a big cost as well. Public education is paramount, and this is a prime example of why.

See my reply to the other comment for a quick overview. To sum up: stacks brush and double exposure are your best friends. Just goof around with it, that’s how I learned. 🙃
