The alternate reality is the one where "dem aligned mass media _did_ completely bury" -- because it's all I heard about for months, and months, and months, and months, and months, and months, and months, and months, and months, and months, and months, and months, and months, and months.

Good luck banning certain kinds of math.

You're the one dramatizing here

At least in my case, I had Youtube Red and would watch a few hours of content per day. Then I canceled and found the ads so unreasonable that I just stopped using youtube altogether. Now they make no money from me.

on the nuclear front, the administration has cut investment and reduced action in exchange for cheap promises. judge actions, not words.

I'm an engineer that has both an apple silicon laptop (mbp, m2) and a linux laptop (arch, thinkpad x1 yoga.) I choose the mac every day of the week and it's not even close. I'm sure it's not great for specific engineering disciplines, but for me (web, rails, sre) it really can't be beat.

The UX differences are absolutely massive. Even after daily-driving that thinkpad for months, Gnome always felt kinda not quite finished. Maybe KDE is better, but it didn't have Wayland support when I was setting that machine up, which made it a non-starter.

The real killer though is battery life. I can work literally all day unplugged on the mbp and finish up with 40-50% remaining. When i'm traveling these days, i don't even bring a power cable with me during the day. The thinkpad, despite my best efforts with powertop, the most aggressive frequency scaling i could get, and a bunch of other little tricks, lasts 2 hours.

There are niceties about Linux too. Package management is better and the docker experience is _way_ better. Overall though, i'd take the apple silicon macbook 10 times out of 10.

the extra dot is easily hand waved away as a mistake. a non breaking space looks intentional.

They do have an unsubscribe from all button. It's in the delete my account because i get too many emails user flow. Ask me how i know. Nextdoor is a master class in dark patterns.

i have a .af (afghanistan) domain that will expire next month. i can't renew it because the registrar isn't able to make contact with anyone at their noc since the US pulled out.

agreed, but i almost feel like it's supposed to feel a little weird to avoid accidentally buying things. either way, if you want to make it easier, there's an option under settings > accessibility > side button. You can adjust the speed required to register a double or triple click.

i tried this with the 50 foot sycamore in my back yard and the leaves didn't decompose at all. they fell and froze. then in the spring when things thawed out, they formed a thick wet mat that suffocated and killed everything underneath.

John posts 1 chatGPT challenge that is too ambiguous to be a valid test. James posts 14 well formed, unambiguous challenges that clearly highlight chatGPT's shortcomings. How many challenges remain too ambiguous to be valid?

15 chairs.

I understand the solution that you consider obvious. There are other posters in this thread with different solutions that they think are obvious. If several of people parse several meanings out of one statement then the statement is ambiguous.
