Windows 10 DLC just dropped. Copilot added from Windows 11.

That was actually my first thought as well. To my first assumption it implied it was in the direction of two extremes. Either all other causes are so low (compared to similar global trends) that this is a “good thing” and it can now be given extra/special attention, or other causes are around average (or higher) and this is a crisis of some kind.

Not just that, but they are actively hostile and hypocritical about it. Every 1-3 months they prevent RCS from working on rooted phones or phones running alternate ROMs. The fact that they spent so much time complaining that Apple wouldn’t comply with the “open” standard while limiting users’ options on their own platform is very frustrating.

Unless your brain is fucking broken like mine, lol.

This is what truly pisses me off about Google/Alphabet bitching about Apple not supporting RCS. Google does not offer any kind of API or access for developers to hook into RCS messaging and the have structured it in such a way with extensions to the standard that are Google only so even if there were other RCS providers it wouldn’t be fully compatible. Fuck.

I’m not sure about government but I am aware of test equipment in commercial aerospace that still use floppy disks, soooo…

Don’t use the time he instigated a coupe attempt as a reason?

Can you tell me why putting my hand on an electric burner that is red hot is a bad idea? Don’t use anyone’s past experiences being burned by hot objects.

Sure you could technically go into a complex explanation using physics as to why it’s a bad idea, but why?

When not even my closest coworkers or boss could tell if I was working or screwing off because working on or doing research for my personal projects is indistinguishable from my work ones 😅

It might be a bit overboard, but I have a Redmine instance running on my NAS that can likely do everything you want. Some out if the box, some with plugins. It’s pretty nice. If you don’t want to worry about installing it you can download a complete installer from Bitnami.

Huh, me too. I appreciate your leaving this comment!

Someone else in this comment thread pointed out that Tesla’s windows are laminated and not tempered so a glass break doesn’t actually work on them.

I just did a quick “fact check” as I was writing this and apparently there are multiple cars that are going to laminated glass windows. I’ll have to add that to the list of things I don’t want and have to check next time I’m shopping for a car.

I have been eyeing that model for a while now, nice to have some additional confirmation about it. Thanks!

What is the model of spectrophotometer that you bought?

Even if Biden was the best President in the history of the U.S. that doesn’t place him beyond reproach or criticism. No one is perfect and shedding light on a person’s shortcomings is just as important as showing off their strengths.

I voted for Biden, and I am going to do so again, but I think these criticisms are valid.

Researching anything that happened on the internet right now in the future is going to be absolute hell considering how much useful user information and interactions are “locked” behind Discord. Is there a term for something worse than link rot? With link rot it’s a case of a known unknown. With information on Discord it’s an unknown unknown.

Why pay? I think the answer is pretty easy. If one doesn’t want to self host. Running any kind of web based service costs the person running it money. Google obviously makes money off of a user doing searches via adds and data collection. I would actually have no issue paying for certain Google services if it meant that as a paying customer they would not double dip and try and profit off the data they are collecting on me.

This is all coming from a person who has a server rack in my basement and multiple PCs scattered throughout my home, so I am no stranger to self hosting.

Considering our obesity rates, quite a lot!

Jeff Jackson of North Carolina would be my personal pick. He’s just too new. If he were 4-8 years further into his career I think it would be a slam dunk.

Yeah like… fuck. I get where they are coming from, and I can’t really fault them on a human individual level. Even if Ukraine comes out of this as the undisputed victors with all of their land and resources returned to them and full EU and NATO membership (and I REALLY hope they do), the people these protestors are advocating for are going to return home permanently changed by what they experienced.

Like you said/alluded to though that’s better than the alternative. I don’t know, maybe some kind of rotation could be implemented where they get to go home for a couple of months to rest and get a lot of mental health related services to help them maintain their effectiveness?
