Goodie,

I wanted to leave snarky comments about the only news worthy symptom would be the ability to pass it on to other humans.

I stand corrected.

Goodie,

It supports both online co-op as well as split screen with multiple controllers; at least it does on PC.

Goodie,

The CDC told reporters on a call that it has not seen evidence of human to human transmission of bird flu and that it has tested close to 40 people since March, including the Michigan worker.

If, and only if, we see human to human transmission, then we sorry. Not before.

Goodie,

I’m really hoping for thermite. A lot of thermite.

Goodie,

It depends on how bright it is where you are.

When it’s very very dim your color sensing part of your eyes, which are less sensitive to light, don’t work. Only the black and white parts of your vision work.

Kind of.

Goodie,

Reminder: helldivers hasn’t yet been re-enabled in the countries it was restricted from.

Goodie,

Honestly, I think almost everything else is worse than Google.

I set my default to duck duck go, and it’s getting better, but I still fall back on google with some regularity

Doesn't the need for a permit fundamentally contradict the US's ideals of free speech?

I went to some palestine protests a while back, and was talking to my brother about the organizing, when revealed something I found pretty shocking, we (the protesters) had acquired a permit to hold the protest. Apparently this is standard policy across the US....

Goodie,

This is pretty much it.

The city knows about your protest so they can plan accordingly.

They may also make requests of your protest, eg, could you self organise your own traffic wardens to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Goodie,

It’s just that in America they realized if they complain enough, they get to rub they’re hands gleefully at the thought of all that electricity they’re going to sell, AND all the public money they’re going to get to upgrade the grid!

Goodie,

Assumedly, to deal with a race condition.

Goodie,

Or regulation.

Driving prices down would require meaningful competition, or a feasible alternative, or regulation.

(Feasible alternatives do exist, eg trades, but are not treated as viable alternatives by society)

As a general rule, the amount of exploitation and fraud it takes to “become” a billionaire should probably be illegal.

Lying about what you do with peoples data and who you share it with.

Sentencing and punishment are affected by “caste”

'Don't keep people home': Govt to give public health advice around sending sick children to school - Seymour (www.newshub.co.nz)

Why would you want sickness to spread at schools? This will get kids sick, it will get their teachers sick, kids will take it home to parents and get them sick. What’s the impact to education but also to the wider workforce and productivity?

Goodie,

If you only think about the mainstream, 90% of adults, your take is probably right.

If oarents watch out and catch cases of covid and the flu and other serious illnesses early, it’d probably be ok.

But.

What about kids with compromised immune systems? The teachers? The kid who still has a weakened immune system from covid or the measles last year?

By only accounting for the mainstream we push those on the edge further out.

Goodie,

Given that weed is now legal for medicinal use, there’s been a lot less enforcement here in NZ.

Mostly, at the outset cops have no way of knowing if you have a prescription or not, and asking if it’s a suitable prescription is a pretty big no-no.

Goodie,

It muddies the water around, supporting the various states, and the public image of that.

The same thing for the Palestine genocide ongoing now, the US has a second war to supply.

Goodie,

I think people love to hate Steve. The one thing people love more than a great figurehead, is hating one. I think that Steve had a great internal model of how to combine form/function.

iPhone wasn’t the first smartphone, but it may as well have been. It brought the smartphone to the mass market.

Part of it was a great advertising campaign, which unlike the smartphones at the time, pitched it as a luxury good as opposed to an executive enterprise one. You owned a blackberry to answer emails wherever and whenever you were, you owned an iphone so you can check Google Maps. A large part of it was redefining both the form factor, and use case of a smartphone.

Goodie,

Oh, he was an absolute asshole. Seems I deleted that sentence. RIP me.

“I have enabled and ushered in a new age of knowledge access like no other, here’s a cool way to eat that goes against all reasonable nutritionists’ advice. Sounds good to me!” - Really seems like a fitting way to kick off this century IMO.

Goodie,

An ipod with a much larger screen (320×240 vs 480x320), a camera, and could take phone calls, browse the internet, and do email.

Goodie,

Tell me you don’t live in NZ without telling me you don’t live in NZ

Goodie,

Valve might not be a publically traded company, but it sti has shareholders. Some of those shareholders still want Valve to increase value, etc.

The difference is that valve has a songle large share holder who seems to just not give a fuck about those pressures. While most (all) publically traded companies crumble and fall to that pressure.

Goodie,

But companies don’t always chase profit.

They can also chase growth and the appearance of a company that could or will make money one day. Ex Uber when it first came out and destroyed the taxi industry practically overnight.

Goodie,

That makes no sense.

The only difference between a public company and a private company (in this sense) is how liquid the asset is, said another way, how easy it is to enter or exit the position, and how regularly the holdings value is recalculated.

I could buy 100k of valve stock of someone tomorrow, and then find myself wishing I’d bought NVIDIA. I could buy NVIDIA tomorrow, and it could crash and I could wish I’d bought in to Valve.

Warner Bros. is now erasing games as it plans to delist Adult Swim-published titles (www.polygon.com)

Warner Bros. Discovery is telling developers it plans to start “retiring” games published by its Adult Swim Games label, game makers who worked with the publisher tell Polygon. At least three games are under threat of being removed from Steam and other digital stores, with the fate of other games published by Adult Swim...

Goodie,

The US won’t. The EU probably will.

Goodie,

Read up on the civil rights movements or how women got the right to vote.

Protests 100% work

Goodie,

You can, but it requires more skill and more effort.

Skill and effort are often in high demand and low supply.
