I see what you mean, and I hope you’re right.

Thanks for explaining! That’s very encouraging.

I see your point, but it still feels like press bait to me. Is there any way what gets released can be verified to be authentic? I have seen one or two MAGA supporters speaking out over it, but I have serious doubts they won’t return after a trivial capitulation like this. What I’d love to see is engagement from people who didn’t vote, I want to see protest crowds getting bigger. I understand your frustration, but I think it’s valid to try to absorb the other news as well.

I guess it doesn’t really need to be something worse – they have full control over the narrative, and the WH clearly won’t actually release anything meaningful, so keeping it in the news is a huge attention magnet with practically no downside. Maybe an extra week of all other news getting buried is worth it. Maybe it’s a favor to that CEO who got caught cheating at a Coldplay concert. I get the impression that when he does something weirdly out-of-character it’s a misdirection, so I’ll look at page two of the news for awhile.

Distraction from something worse, probably.

Sounds like a globe made of hands

Yeah! Where’s my Dvorak mobile tactile keyboard?

Did you mean to paste a source link for that quote?

Adds a new meaning to “Moist” Cr1TiKaL for me

In addition to the other great answers, you can really drive the intuition about how wrong this is in students/kids with simple examples:

x+2/x+1 – cancel the x incorrectly and this always equals 2, which should fail the smell check immediately, verify with a couple values of x.

x+1/x cancel the x incorrectly and undefined.

Thanks for the reply! PEBKAC issue – I was logged in with the right account, but the email I requested to join the beta from was not a google account so I had to make one for this. I forgot to change the email in my Walkscape account portal to the gmail I made. All good now!

I was accepted into the beta, but I’m unable to find the app in the store. I joined the google group, but I’m not sure what else to check. When I follow the link it shows the app in the browser, but when I try to find it with the play store app it can’t be found. Any ideas?

Windows 11 PCs are up to 2.3x faster than Windows 10 PCs

Based on testing performed by Microsoft in December 2024 using Geekbench 6 Multi-core score comparing a selection of Windows 10 PCs with Intel Core 6th, 8th, and 10th generation processors and Windows 11 PCs with Intel Core 12th and 13th generation processors. Performance will vary significantly by device and with settings, usage and other factors.

I mean… okay? Pretty sure that has very little to do with the OS at that point. That’s kind of like saying the PS5 is faster than the PS4 – yeah, I’m upgrading hardware, of course it’s faster. Kinda surprised they only got 2.3x with that basis of comparison.

Ah, thanks. I thought it was a Roman AR-14

“Get fucked”, “Go fuck yourself”, “Blow me”, “Eat my ass”, so many along a similar vein I never considered. Great write-up; I’ll never think about those things the same way again.

Holy fuck, an exception to Betteridge’s Law

Sometimes the food can do it too – I scratched my last nonstick pan with a silicone spatula because I ground black pepper on my eggs and caught a craggy piece just right while flipping. After being super careful for months! So irritated.

I don’t get posts like this – his expression matches nearly every other 40+ white dude minding his own business that I’ve ever seen. These pics/posts have strong “you should smile more” energy

Then you’d juat have to deal with errors from processes expecting it to be there. Probably better to instead not use software that implements it, which I assume you’re doing anyway.
