Not for the cost of a Subaru Outback, i think.

Gah, so excited! Weather should be good right?

It's smart. Also, developers have a solid benchmark to set their games to. Console has long had the benefit of a stable hardware set over the course of many years, which makes it easier to develop to the broadest possible market. Skipping incremental APU updates has a benefit of keeping a longer benchmark for game developers hoping to boost sales by targeting the market with handhelds. Valve was pretty clear in their communication in this regard, which is great.

Smart. Flush money down the toilet trying to impersonate Trump by not paying your bills. Maybe he should run for president.

Yeah, it's been acknowledged and solutions have been discussed as future Todos

I imagine it should be prioritized though, along with some of the other malicious upload issue mitigation bugs.

My deck is more reliable at booting at all. I've got some sort of issue happening. I'm not sure if my video card is going or something, it doesn't like sharing memory, or what, but it crashes constantly on my PC.

Steamdeck is worse performance, but at least I can play it...

I'm kind of in this boat myself now and am thinking about if I should try to get diagnosed. Had it not been for adhd memes on Reddit and here I would never have identified the commonalities. I feel like it might be a stretch, but my procrastination is legendary around the house and my flaws seem pretty ADHD symptoms.

I've just feared seeking a diagnosis in that it might have negative repercussions on my life, (which I generally like as is), but I'm giving it more thought now.

I cherish my "I believe in the blerch" tech tee.

Yep. This is a huge burden on the poorest in our society and basically means the poorest will never be able to afford bond and the richest will always be able to afford bond. At both ends of the spectrum, bond is basically meaningless. If someone is sufficiently rich, if they want to run, they will, regardless of if $200k is forfeit. If someone is sufficiently poor, they'll never be able to afford to be out of jail, even if they have no intention on running. I'm not saying that Trump is, in fact, a flight risk, but bond is stupid and if someone should be in jail, then they should be in jail or if they should not be in jail, then they should not be in jail. I know it's an imperfect system living in an imperfect world, but can someone please come up with some sort of technology mechanism so that the current bond system is rendered obsolete, please?

I feel like the answer is making jail/prison less of a fucking tortuous experience (ala the Scandinavian model), but some people seem to think that jail/prison being the worst possible place to be is a feature, not a bug. If jail were less torturous, then it would be conceivable for rich people who deserve jail to have to go there while awaiting trial and the bond system could be done away with...but that would mean making it nicer for everyone, so probably won't happen.

Yeah, while it is annoying, I know there is a whole art form to those thumbnail images and there are other people I respect that are worse about them. I think they've talked pretty openly about how those are simply the annoying part of being in the YouTube business and if they didn't, they would just be leaving views on the table.

Of course all of this just adds more to emissions. Which is all of the problem….

^^ from above

how about we shift that attention into laws and infrastructure that penalize this behavior by corporations

Completely agree, this is what we should be focusing on. YOUR CAR isn't doing shit. ALL OF OUR CARS collectively are doing shit. You can change your behavior and feel better about yourself, but this problem was caused by laws, oil money lobbying, and the resulting policy. Laws and policy are the way out of it, not making people feel bad about their "choices."

Math checks out, yep.

Paywall...

It's about Pennsylvania Ave, DC

Nah, he was just le tired and slept in.

That's what I told her. I'm in Oregon and she's in Minnesota. I think it's just new and different for her. She's afraid of an "unwelcome element" coming into her suburb 🙄.

I was using it as a description of the age of my mother. She just happens to also personify the stereotypes of her generation as well. I love her, but I roll my eyes when she tells me about her latest scrap with a city council member and the interaction she had with the developers of the piece of land being developed near her house.

My boomer mom is all up in her suburban town councils business because she's afraid there is going to be a "marijuana shop" that goes in across the highway from her neighborhood in the strip mall that's being developed.

Anti-drug propaganda really did a number on that generation
