Store it upside down in the fridge, that usually solves the problem.

They just made a convicted rapist and abuser president. People don’t care about women.

Do you really think people who casted their votes this way are blameless?

The Democrats have their fair share of responsibility for not dealing with the reality of what they have to work with and advocating better positions and trying to solve their problems. Significant blame.

But that doesn’t make Trump voters or non-voters not culpable for cutting off their nose to spite their face. It’s still wildly ignorant at best and evil at worst.

Yeah there is a ton of analysis to be done, but I really think the average undecided voter looks at the one choice they have and basically just asks themselves “am I doing ok right now?” If yes, they stay the course. If no, they pull the lever and flip to the other guy.

The bad economy killed them. Kamala breathed some life into the campaign but it wasn’t enough. Is the bad economy their fault? Not really, inflation is bad worldwide post-COVID. But when people can’t feed their families, they blame the people above and use the only tool they have to punish them: cutting off their nose to spite their face.

The real question is, where are all the Democrat voters who didn’t show up, that did show up for Biden? I think a combination of deep rooted misogyny, racism, and a weak message watered down to cater to “centrist” Republicans really hurt them.

The Democrats tend to focus on the undecided voter. They shouldn’t, because those people are basically just motivated by their personal good fortune at that exact time. They should focus on the occasional voter, because that’s who wins them elections.

FUCK YOU OLD MAN I NEED TO PROTECT WOMENS HEALTH!

Yep. I’m in MAU numbers because I logged in twice this month to run Sky Follower Bridge. After the API debacle my average usage went from hours a day to zero minutes per day.

Even with the most favourable, most meaningless statistic he can pull he still can’t show growth or even staying in place.

That’s the beauty, it’s self-defending.

I don’t give a shit about owning a gun. You’ll pry my sprayer bidet from my cold, dead hands.

I needed instructions on how to downgrade the firmware of my Unifi UDR because they pushed a botched update. I searched for a while and could only find vague references to SSH and upgrading.

They had a “Unifi GPT” bot so I figured what the hell. I asked “how to downgrade udr firmware to stable”. It gave me effective step by step instructions on how to enable SSH, SSH in and what commands to run to do so. Worked like a charm.

So yeah, I think the problem is we’re in the hype era of LLMs. They’re being over applied at lots of things they aren’t good at. But it’s extremism in the other direction to say there aren’t functions they can do well.

They are at least better than your average canned chat/search bot or ill informed CSR at finding an answer to your question. I think they can help with lots of frustrating or opaque computer related tasks, or at least point you in the right direction or surface something you might not be able to find easily otherwise.

They just aren’t going to write programs for you or do your office job for you like execs think they will.

Thunderbolt is for permanently attached expansion (10gb Ethernet, eGPUs, multi drive enclosures, port expansion/docking etc) and USB is for quick connections (USB keys, SD cards, etc).

I seriously doubt anyone will ever use these ports for Thunderbolt devices, because there are very few thunderbolt devices that people use regularly, and if they know what Thunderbolt even is they know to look.

It’s $500CAD more for less RAM, a much worse processor, single monitor, lower top speed due to reduced thermal headroom, less & worse ports, no Ethernet jack, worse/no headless support and a battery that will swell up in a year because I leave it plugged in all the time.

If you have a desk and like to sit at it, this is a much better choice. For me a laptop no longer fits into my life. I do everything on my phone, and for what needs a computer I want a big screen, keyboard and chair.

To each their own. I think this is the best value product Apple has released in over a decade. At $669CAD for Education it’s an insanely good buy.

I use the Apple cases after trying dozens over the years, the fit & finish on them is hard to beat and I’ve found most 3rd party cases have MagSafe issues. You tend to be able to pick them up on eBay for ~$20 or so from Amazon return resellers, which isn’t too bad. Just gotta get good at spotting the fakes.

Especially for the 16 I would get an Apple case, because I think all the other manufacturers just cut out a hole where the new Camera button is whereas Apple has conductive material there so you can use the sliding gestures.

Because it all routes through one digital storefront without the possibility of competition, so digital pricing on console storefronts is artificially high.

Plus, they’ve already shut down stores on older consoles and people have lost games. That’s less likely as console companies learn how to make competent digital storefronts and account systems, many have felt the burn of losing all your digital purchases on console and won’t let it happen twice.

You can buy an ESP board that meets all those qualifications from AliExpress for less than $3CAD shipped.

Setting one of those up was the first time in a while I’ve been so impressed with just how cheap and accessible tech has gotten. It’s a web server with WiFi and Bluetooth shipped to my door all for the price of a chocolate bar.

Which is what Trump wants, as he also publicly admits he just doesn’t pay bills if he doesn’t feel like it.

Looking forward to all the lawsuits between the two should he lose.

I did exactly that just a few weeks back. Played through D1 & D2R on Normal, once. Beat them, had a great time.

Started the next difficulty and gave up on the first quest. I know it’s not how they’re meant to be played, but I had fun.

How is giving a sober and straightforward explanation of why he can’t use Firefox “bitching”? The simple fact is “switch to Firefox” isn’t a solution for everyone in every case. Burying your head in the sand about that benefits nobody.

If you need the feature set of Bluesky and can’t use Mastodon, please also follow https://fed.brid.gy/ if you can. This will allow Mastodon users to follow you from the Fediverse.

If they don’t, please also follow https://fed.brid.gy/ so your BlueSky account is federated to Mastodon. If you move to Threads, please turn on Fediverse integration.

It’s so frustrating, between Mastodon, Bluesky and Threads almost every person I used to follow on Twitter exists somewhere else. But only about half of them are accessible in any one platform.
