Trump is almost 1:1 a character straight from Transmetropolitan.

Then you have people like Elon that are straight from any cyberpunk media corporate heads.

The parallels between the themes of a cyberpunk dystopia and the present are drawing pretty close.

We just don’t get any of the cool shit like cybernetic implants.

I noticed that too. It’s not even a good logo to steal, it’s always felt old.

The default homepage on Edge alone is enough to make me never use Edge willingly.

I don’t know what that Bing/MSN abomination is but it’s reprehensible. It’s the most clickbait tabloid garbage I’ve ever seen. The fact that a company that makes hand over fist on enterprise is willing to sully their new browser with that fucking page makes me lose so much faith in humanity.

I know it’s an easily changed setting but there’s millions and millions of people that won’t change it at home or at work being exposed to that garbage.

I thought Teams was more of a curse than a competitor.

Kidding aside. It’d be nice if we stopped these massive corporations from hoovering up other businesses BEFORE antitrust complaints are needed. But that’ll never happen.

It’s going to piss off users and people trying to find Reddit info via Google. It will actively do the opposite of encouraging users to switch to Lemmy or something else because they won’t want to migrate over to a den of assholes. Just delete the comments.

The biggest issue though is that you’ll give Reddit an excuse to revert your comments. Unless you’re in Europe, it’s their data not yours. Reverting deleted comments makes them look bad to existing users, reverting or wiping out cesspool comments will give them actual justification.

I purposely bought the base dash on my Focus ST. Screen is smaller than a phone like 4 inches at most, has no apps. It Bluetooth syncs my phone for music and calls. There’s no touchscreen, all interactions are dedicated knobs and buttons.

For GPS I just use my phone and audio directions, my smart watch has the upcoming direction as well. If I really don’t know where I’m going I have a dash mount for my phone if I need it. But that’s not often.

It’s great honestly and the dash doesn’t blind me driving at night.

I was also looking at a Mazda before I got this car and their dash is absolutely horrendous. It’s like they just took a Alibaba knock off iPad and welded it on top of the dash. It’s literally in your view of the road causing a small blind spot.

Looks cozy. I think i see a fire pit and a grill so you have those bases covered and it looks extremely relaxing.

You’re missing bird feeders though. Maybe some herbs or a garden.

Aaaah I understand.

What do you mean by the cost? Because you didn’t want to wipe out your Windows OS? I’ve been running distros on my personal PC for 23 years now. Can’t say I’ve ever spent money on it except for some cheap CDs. I think I even got distro cds for cheap that came with linux magazines.

If you had told me the Orioles might make a playoff run by squeezing through the wild card in the next 5+ years I would maybe believe it. But being the best team in the American League after the All-Star break there’s no way I could believe that. I don’t think anyone could.

If my team gets knocked out I’m going full team Bird Boy.

I wish they would as well but the cable deals are so insanely lucrative. The TEAM collects like 5-7 dollars per cable subscriber PER MONTH. It’s basically a tax on the city. Just picking a random number but like say 80% of subscribers don’t watch a baseball game any given month. They’re still paying 5-7 bucks for the privilege.

It’s a system that could ONLY exist under cable monopolies. There’s no way they’ll ever have such a sweet deal if people have to willingly go out of their way to pay for streaming.

I’m intrigued. Even just like a shell with this to dump out to different language would be really handy.

Regex is so dense it’s hard to memorize, the differences between languages don’t do it any favors either.

Dubon is a baseball wizard.

So nuking a hurricane isn’t very realistic but what about bombing/nuking a tornado?

“Ken and Angela Paxton notably made a trip to Utah in February 2021, just weeks before their Eden land purchase, during the catastrophic winter storms that knocked out parts of the Texas power grid and led to deaths across the state, according to the Dallas Morning News.

A spokesperson for Ken Paxton’s campaign told to the Texas Tribune that Paxton was in Utah for a “previously planned trip” to meet with Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, along with other meetings. A spokesperson for Reyes’ office also confirmed Paxton was in the state at that time.”

What a fucking shit lord. Not that we didn’t know that already, but that’s pretty shitty.

If you get a wood filler get an epoxy based wood filler. You may need to order it online, I’ve had trouble finding it at the normal hardware stores.

It’ll last forever and be more durable than the wood itself. Might be overkill for an indoor fix, but it’s not any pricier. I’ve used it to repair wood rot on outdoor window fixtures and it works great.

Just a word of advice. It’s tempting to add a bunch because you’re going to sand it down level anyway. But it takes FOREVER to sand if you don’t have a sander so try to make it level as best you can while you’re applying it.

You and me both. The worst is I have to use Teams for work and Ctrl+Shift+C is the shortcut to call the person you’re chatting with.

He injured it during batting practice. The only thing they’ve added is Brown saying he thinks it isn’t too bad but they’re in no rush to push it and that it was a different oblique muscle that Altuve had issues with recently.

It’s the Astros though so not thinking it’s too bad before having seen the MRI results is sort of meaningless.

Agreed. It’s a huge mess.

There’s nothing stopping them from harvesting data with or without Threads. They can just create their own hidden Lemmy, Mastadon servers and pull all the data that way. Sure, someone could catch on and block that server, but they could just spin more up wherever.

This is the main concern.

I create Threads. It gets 30 million users very quickly. Lemmy users only make up say, 1 million users.

I make changes to Threads that don’t follow the ActivityPub protocol to the T, this makes the Lemmy servers glitchy when interacting with Threads content until Lemmy can be patched, but I’ll just keep making these changes to Threads over and over.

User A likes Lemmy, but it’s really starting to glitch out all the time. They have a lot of friends they interact with on Threads and because Lemmy has so many issues they say fuck it, hop over to Threads so they can consistently keep up with their friends/community.
