Unwittingly? They paid you in-game currency to collect “research data”. What did people think they were doing?

Remember to donate!

Half the OC memes here use GenAI art. It’s already happening.

Eh, I’m kinda with him on the “whole new category of content” thing. Put it in its own category so it’s not mixed in with everything else.

Well, the good news is since this kind of hypersonic flight is not efficient or affordable, while there are 150k daily commercial flights, these aircraft will probably fly more like 2-6 times daily for their specific wealthy passengers that would pay obscene amounts of cash to save a few hours.

The Concord only flew 4 times daily at its peak.

To put this in perspective, you could have breakfast in London and make it to New York in time for a mid-morning coffee, with the journey taking just 1.5 hours.

Uh, let me do the math on that one…

If I eat breakfast in London at 8am, and then immediately board a Hypersonic jet to New York at 8:30am, I’ll arrive in NYC at 3pm, having missed mid-morning coffee by about 4 hours before I ate breakfast…

KDE. It’s customizable without adding lots of weirdness. It’s got a solid set of included tools like Dolphin and Konsole. It’s generally very stable and visually attractive.

No shade to other DEs. I’ve tried lots of them, I even have a couple of alternative DEs I’ll log into when they are useful (i3 is great if I am doing something repetitive). But KDE is just the most comfortable for me for daily use.

The non-Gnome COSMIC DE that System76 has been developing is looking really promising though. I have the alpha on a spare laptop and find it very functional.

They’re still available on the big ass hard drive I downloaded them all to.

Manufactured in China, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

Dell: manufactured in China, Taiwan, and Vietnam

HP: manufactured in China, Thailand, India, Mexico, Vietnam (and one plant in Indianapolis)

Lenovo: manufactured in China, Brazil, Mexico, Hungary, India, and Japan

Acer: manufactured in Taiwan, China, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, Japan, Korea, India, Brazil, and Hungary, with a production base in China.

System76 still wins.

Name a bigger one.

Yeah, I love drowning in a sea of Nazis, Pedophiles, and Crypto bros with no redeemable content.

You could try starting those niche communities here instead of giving free content for Spez to monetize.

You don’t have to know how to write your own software to install another App Store on Android.

Amazon has their own competing app store, with boomer-friendly instructions for installing it:

And Amazon’s phones and tablets use their own “FireOS” remix of Android without Google Play Store available.

I prefer the OS being open to third-party installers over any legal mandate that app stores not being allowed to curate their own store’s offerings. Closing off Google’s app store to competing app stores only makes sense if other app stores have no reasonable access to customers, which is clearly not the case.

Complete bullshit that they’re throwing this ruling at Android when iOS doesn’t even let you download and install a third-party app without either jailbreaking, or hooking up your iPhone in developer mode to a computer running xcode. Apple treats Cydia like it’s malware. Google perfectly tolerates Amazon and F-Droid running their own operations.

it blows my mind how one person can do it.

One person can’t do it. When you’re making FOSS you’re standing on the shoulders of giants. Most of the code that makes up this app wasn’t coded by the developer of this app. Also, there are multiple people committing code to this repository, so it literally isn’t just one guy developing this app specifically.

Look, I enjoy these comics, but OP is clearly looking for philosophical literature not loosely-coherent lore-driven webcomics…

1 minute before class: the perfect time to mess with Linux audio and video drivers.

Anyone who wants to fix this can help fix it, but people are just making demands of an unpaid maintainer. The devs can run this project the way they want to. If you don’t like it, don’t use Ventoy.

The people comparing this to the xz exploit are out of line. xz was a library that was deeply embedded in a lot of software. Ventoy is an IT tool used to boot live OSes. Not even remotely the same attack surface.

Blobs in the source tree are not ideal, but people need to pick their battles.

Is the solution to male loneliness ripping your father’s shrieking soul from the depths of the underworld and crudely resurrecting him in defiance of God’s will?
