Sunshine/Moonlight works well for me also.

How many millions of votes did Bernie lose the primary to Clinton by? Five?

I remember turning out for him, only to find reality drowned out by the online noise (read: misogyny) that still reverberates to this day. At the polling places? Crickets. The American public reaped what it sowed, and watching these conspiracy artists attempt to re-write history is little more than them climbing back into the hamster wheel. Vote.

I have an 8 year old Acer aspire and it works great for coding. I’ve learned a lot about both of those languages with zero worries and recently moved the OS over to nix with excellent results.

Providing this statement is hardly doubling down and if anything moves in the other direction. Hiring a legit firm with a reputation of its own to defend is by all accounts the right thing to do, particularly after all the other fumbles that took place. Was waiting for an investigatory body to come along and do the legwork for free the more sensible option? No one was silenced here, and these allegations were made without proof. I tend to believe others, but this cuts both ways.

I’d say that laying your own experiences out as germane is gross, but then I do appreciate those strong biases being highlighted. For my own part I’d have rather not defended a media outlet that I do not care for.

Interjecting to add my two pennies. Gen z isn’t as consequential here as millennials, (not that they answer unknown numbers.) Young people simply don’t vote.

Edit: For the record I’m a xennial and don’t answer those calls either.

The Best I can do is charge the driver with a misdemeanor instead.

Fuck cops and (most) DA’s while we’re at it.

In the interest of click saving:

“The only problem is that McLaren’s marketing line of being the “world’s most powerful trail-legal electric mountain bikes” is, at best, misleading, and at worst, patently false.

The issue is that for European e-bikes, 250W is the legal limit for both on-road and trail usage. So if you’ve got a 250W e-bike, you’ve basically tied every single other e-bike on the market for highest power. Of course, none of the 250W e-bikes rolling around today actually put out only 250W of power. They all sneak by with higher peak power ratings, but the continuous power ratings are all identical. Thus, claiming to have the world’s most powerful trail-legal electric mountain bike is a bit like claiming to sell the world’s tallest 6-foot ladder.

When you look at the US market, it’s even more problematic. E-bikes in the US fall under various regulations depending on the state, but most areas use a 3-class system. And to make things simple, all three classes allow up to 750 watts of power.

If you’re on private property, it doesn’t really matter how much power your e-bike has. ‘Murica! But if you’re on public property, like public roads or trails on state land, you’re likely going to be limited to that 750W of power in most places. Thus, claiming that a 600W e-bike is the world’s most powerful trail-legal e-bike is obviously quite problematic in the land of 750W e-bikes.”

Apologies for the repost, I see someone already shared a WaPo article. Feel free to yank this mods.

It’s only for personal use, I like to tinker, and got it done on the cheap. If/when I get back to the herb proper, I’ll take a look at the market again, but for the limited time I used it I was impressed with the concept. Happy vaping!

Built a pinky ball vape just before taking an extended break and found it to be the closest thing to full extraction. Still want to get a desktop vape down the road though.

Well, I’ve got good news, you can do both at the same time with the patented cyber-bullet! When it implants, it implants 100 percent of the time.

“Dr.” Dobson, I don’t feel so good.

I run a SearXNG instance myself and while it is a fine aggregator, it’s important to note what it is and isn’t. For instance, Sear does not have a dedicated search index and leans on third party API calls (to indexes such as the aforementioned Google and DDG listings.) This is my understanding, feel free to correct it.

For my money, I like the anonymity that Sear can afford and that it hides the AI bullshit pouring into the UIs. My son and I were talking over the weekend about how unreliable he is finding the move to AI search.

Edit: A list of public SearXNG instances for anyone that doesn’t want to spin up their own.

If Wichita Falls isn’t the asshole of Texas, it’s within farting distance. And yes, there are a lot of competitors for the title.

Assuming I don’t want to wade through spoilers, what has been hot over the last year?

I use kde connect and/or sunshine myself.

Unfortunately, no, I assign one monitor that stays asleep unless I intentionally wake it. Most of my use case these days is streaming my desktop remotely over wireguard. Good luck tinkering!

Huh, I just happened to watch this interview/distillation last night during a break and found it very enlightening. Kudos to an incredible team.

People hereabouts know agitprop when they see it and use the voting system to reflect that.

Reading this in bed without my glasses and I’ll be damned if I switch to cat milk.
