Stoat desktop feels like it was just put in the oven, especially on Linux. It may get there someday, but I cannot recommend Stoat in good faith.

Imagine living in a world where “your” “rights” involve somebody else. In no universe do rights involve another person.

Makes it a massive pain in the ass to find them on watch/read tracking websites, especially when they have those ~ and 《》in the title (or subtitle). As an avid Manga reader, I have started skipping those series because, more often than not, they are just as uncreative as their titles. SEO or not, a good story will be spread by word of mouth. These writers are just screaming they don’t have confidence in what they are creating.

Note that it was likely staged, just like the other attempts.

The arguments against this are that old people pay taxes and should have their fair share of representation in government.

The problem here is that olds are going to nominate olds and the ideals of the young are being completely ignored, so the younger populations are not being fairly represented. The DNC and GOP are both putting their worst and oldest candidates forward.

All offices need an age cap of 65, and the Supreme Court justices need an age cap of 60 and have term limits of no longer than 5 years. Supreme Court justices should be nominated elected by the people to make sure they balance the needs of the people with the wants of the president.

With less than 1/10 of the money.

I am responsible for gathering information on AI to determine whether we should use it for our next project. The ask was to use it for a critical process task. Immediately in my head I was like “no, we are not using AI at all”, but I obviously need quantifiable data. This is just another thing to add to my list of why using AI for core processes is one of the stupidest things you could ever do.

Then we had the 30% who had that ONE issue they couldn’t accept Harris for and decided not to vote which implies they are fine with Trump or with their mental gymnastics think they have the moral high ground by not voting for either.

He doesn’t have the authority to do a lot of things, but nobody is going to stop him.

The fun part is when you need to talk to HR you go to their website and it says “if you need to contact us reach out to your HR partner.” and doesn’t even give you a phone number or email.

Banks are hilarious. They use YOUR money to invest and make more money, then they have the audacity to give you paltry interest. Meanwhile they charge a percentage of a sale for processing that has a flat constant amount of processing power used. It costs them the same to process a $1 transaction and a $10,000,000, but they have the gall to charge 1.5% for both. Sure you can argue that the 1.5% is to cover overdrafts and nonpayment, but if you pay the bill in full you should be refunded the extra.

Not the worst idea I’ve seen. I imagine the increased air circulation would help prevent some cheese. Obviously this would not be for the people who like high dpi + high weight mice.

3. Because the company gets some tax breaks from the county by having asses in seats.
4. Related to 1, your boss made poor real estate decisions pre-covid and wants to recoup that loss.
5. Most CEOs are older and don’t want to understand the newer WFH dynamic.
6. Management does not trust the employees they hired.

The US music industry has always been bullshit, going all the way back to record labels. I would feel bad for the artists, but I don’t give two shits about the distributor who acts like they own the music and feels entitled to all monetary rewards for someone else’s work.

HR has always been the laziest bunch of fuckers in a company, so it is not surprising they want to use AI.

Starcraft 2 is super fun as a randomizer in the RTS format, but I do want to see more done with that IP. The problem is, like you, I will never give Blizzard a single penny ever again.

I live in the US and I dont trust US companies with my data either. They either sell it or are handled by easily exploitable systems developed offshore in India.

So, in that sense I do not trust the US, China, India, or Russia with my data and avoid software developed in any of these places when feasibly possible.

Having a prime number in the box makes fights more likely since it isnt divisible. If you are sharing, somebody is going to miss out.

The cost of a 2 bedroom apartment has doubled over the last decade. Groceries are up 50% and I have found that the food I buy is spoiling way before the best by date, as if stores are not properly handling their merchandise due to cut regulations.

Despite getting small yearly raises my spending power has not increased at all.

I do think lawns need maintenance but not every Monday morning at 6AM holy shit fuck you lawnmowers.
