Aa!

Isn’t it too late for it to matter? At this point, she’s on the ballots that she’s on, isn’t she?

Especially for states like Oregon that are primarily vote by mail. I already have my ballot, and Stein withdrawing won’t keep people from voting for her

Behind our troops

In front of my Ram

Is he planning to run down our troops?

Eeh, you have a point, but on the other hand, if the word meaning “literally” no longer means “literally” then we need a new definitive term for the concept.

And we don’t have one. We just have a word that is becoming more ambiguous every year

Nothing about this outcome was a surprise

WSL is pretty good these days. Dual boot with Windows is still a pretty risky move with how easily Windows will overwrite your boot loader. I usually recommend you pick one os or the other rather than dual boot, so I’m in favor of WSL or virtualbox. Personally, I have never cared for needing to reboot just to switch operating systems. I tend to stick with one and the second one does nothing but take up disk partition space.

WSL lets you run both simultaneously without rebooting. Virtualbox lets you do the same with extra setup. Virtualbox makes it easier to do GUI setups than WSL does, and the network configuration is a little more obvious.

The best option is to get a second machine so you can run both. If that’s not an option, virtualbox is the better choice for learning. If you just want a Linux environment on your existing setup (similar to using a Mac) then WSL is usually good enough

Tabasco?

I prefer hot sauce on old pizza, not vinegar

I think I spent way too much time focusing on how close these scientists were to the blackboard.

I thought it was an eyesight joke or something

You’re arguing opinions and trying to convince someone as if they are facts. There’s plenty to criticize about how AI is used, but it is a valuable tool for those that use it.

The amount of value it provides is very subjective, and even if you don’t find it useful, many others do. You might as well be trying to argue that you don’t like photography because it doesn’t provide the same experience of drawings and paintings. You wouldn’t be wrong to feel that way, but you would be wrong to tell someone else that they need to feel the way you do.

There most certainly is a Federation President. There is definitely government, authority, and laws, with Starfleet appearing to be the law enforcement.

I want an instance already established, very populated, and proven to last long term, so I don’t have to create another account

Am I getting old or is anime even [worse] now?

Yes anime and other cartoons tend to follow a theme instead of creating an interesting story to begin with

Can’t help you with that

Title.

The title is already attached to the post. This is useless

In all unfairness to these companies, geolocation via IP address is pretty hit or miss sometimes

Reading these comments I feel fortunate to work for a company where this is all uncommon.

There is arguably some drama when layoffs happen or when there are organizational changes, but it’s pretty tame.

All I can think of is I work for a large company in a relatively educated field (I’m a senior software developer for a technology company) in a very corporate environment. Most of my peers are just looking to be professional and foster a productive team dynamic, so they can keep a healthy balance between work and their families

Because that’s where the egress was?

Well I finally picked up the Netflix Avatar series. I thought some of the actors were fantastic (Zuko, Iroh, Zhao, Sokka, and Suki, to name some). I was disappointed by their Ozai and Azula. My biggest complaint was the pacing. Not enough episodes to tell the story well (like Katara’s rise to being called “master” was rushed). I look forward to the next two seasons.

The browser solves the problem of not having any open API. Each platform wants to handle things in its own way, and the browser is the perfect way to do that. Each service, including both the open and the proprietary ones, can present the feed in the way that they decide is right. The browser already does handle rudimentary account management via form auto fill, as well as a unified notification system.

But as for a unified feed… I think the best example is the issues with that come from Lemmy/Mastodon integration. Mastodon posts have a different mentality than Lemmy posts do, not to mention with structure of responses. I just don’t think it does us any favors to have them share the same feed. Now we have replies that have a clear structure of who they are responding to, but Mastodon users come in adding the user tag into the comment, which is messy at best, and bordering obnoxious at worst.

But I get it, I’m not the audience you’re looking to cater to. I don’t particularly understand the value of RSS readers at all, because I just go directly to the services I want to see the feeds from. Hell, I don’t even use bookmarks. I type in the web address for my services every time

Isn’t this what a web browser already does?

It used to be at the same time, so you’d have to choose between the two

You know which one I was more interested in

I’m shocked at what an unpopular thought this is. Like… If you go out in public, there’s a very real risk that people in public will see you. If that’s a concern you have, then you should take steps to not be seen in public. To me, that would mean not making my presence obvious when visiting a bar.

Camera or not, if people are looking for you, they will find ways to look for you in public places. You should always assume you’re being watched, because you probably already are.

For that matter, why is waist size a Boolean?
