Wow, that is certainly a take.

Unless you’re in a city like Phoenix where the entire city is a grid and your house is built on that grid with square corners for the walls. No matter where you put a bed in my house, if it’s against a wall it will be pointing exactly in one of the cardinal directions.

Your immune system probably built up a larger tolerance to the bacteria in raw milk after consuming it for years.

These changes only affect the Fleet API. TeslaFi is fine for now.

Ah yes, Vivendi games. The same publisher that tried to put Valve out of business for having the audacity to want money for Counter-Strike. I’m shocked.

what?? They just scanned my drivers license when I went. Was there an option not to use it? That would probably make me walk out and rent from somewhere else.

I really hope he has a good plan to pass the reigns to someone with the same integrity and philosophy.

Planet of the rising temperatures more like

When you get home from work, sometimes it’s nice to decompress for a few minutes before going in to start on chores/dinner/whatever. Especially if you have roommates or children that will immediately require your attention when you go inside.

If he gets assassinated, they may replace him with a somewhat competent candidate. I think he stands a pretty good chance of losing, let’s keep him in the race until November.

Judge him all you want but he tells it like it is

Set up a cheap VPS on DigitalOcean or the like, and run a Tailscale exit node. Put Tailscale on your devices at home (or get a 2nd router that allows you to run Tailscale on it) and join them to the same Tailnet. That’s the easiest way to accomplish this without getting too far into the weeds.

I started using eM Client for mail on Windows, and its calendar integration is pretty decent too. It’s paid software, but you only have to pay once.

Because you turned a completely innocuous discussion about nude beaches into an unhinged rant about sexualizing children. Nudity does not inherently mean sexual.

A short comment like “yeah I don’t know how I’d feel about children at a nude beach” would have been fine, but the extent to which you’re talking about it comes off as creepy and projecting.

I truly do think this is a cool feature, but after seeing all the comments saying stuff like “now there’s ZERO excuse not to use Wayland!”, I felt like it was appropriate to share my perspective as a professional user who uses their computer a little differently than a FOSS enthusiast or hobbyist/casual user. I’m not getting paid to go around submitting bug reports and making PRs, so when things don’t “just work” it can be a big issue.

I’m talking about FOSS software incompatibilities, I don’t have any expectation for mega corporate apps like Discord and Teams to adopt it. Those are a lost cause, I just use the browser versions and pray.

This is cool, but half the software I need to use still doesn’t work on Wayland for some inexplicable reason.

I know this is the responsibility of the software maintainer to fix their compatibility, but as a business user I don’t have time to go around filing detailed bug reports and waiting for the next release when it’s fixed.

The solution for me is to switch back to X11 and move along, then in another year I try Wayland again after installing a new distro. After a few hours I find something that isn’t working on Wayland, rinse and repeat.

It seemed pretty redundant anyways, given they already have a credit card that you can use to finance payments through Apple Pay.
