altec,

After trying Windows 11 for a while, I just gave up and installed Kubuntu on my computer. I still use a Windows VM for some things, but I make sure to firewall the shit out of it lol

altec,

I’m actually scared to dual boot. I’ve heard too many stories of Windows updates messing up the bootloader

altec,

They don’t gain the Basic super type, they just lose their subtypes and become Islands instead. So they’re still non-basics, so I believe timestamps would apply

altec,

The term “SDV” is pretty much an industry standard in automotive engineering

altec,

I try to anticipate my ADHD tax at this point lol. I bought a 20 pack of tape measures because I’m so tired of losing them

altec,

For people with ADHD, your brain is typically starved for stimulation, so caffeine actually helps quiet your brain and relax you. So it doesn’t make you tired, but it makes you feel the same as if you’re tired.

altec,

AKA suburbs with manicured grass lawns and no trees are bad for your mental health. It makes sense that more natural surroundings might help relax you.

altec,

Social media is fucked, dude. It’s the norm to always feel like you’re missing out.

altec,

I blame Regan for the tax cuts and Clinton for the end of the Glass-Steagall act. It’s all bullshit.

altec,

I mean, it’s true. Network-connected devices are inherently a cyber security risk.

altec,

Two spots on the set Bingo card in one go!

altec,

2 mana Rule of Law that can sacrifice itself if you want to combo off? If nothing else, it will see play in cEDH

altec,

Far right conservatives around the globe are using the same playbook.

altec,

Luckily, it’s still within our power to choose not to reproduce.

altec,

Does my 1 hour each way commute count as time to myself? Because my company certainly seems to think so

altec,

I believe it was a stage separation, so the No! was to keep them from accidently pressing it early.

altec,

Yep, my plan is to pull all the money from my 401k as soon as my employer funds are vested. Paying down debt and living a comfortable life now seems like a better bet than hoping retirement happens.

2 Charged After Pouring Red Powder Over Case Holding U.S. Constitution | Two activists poured the powder over the protective case to call attention to climate change (www.nytimes.com)

The Constitution was not damaged, according to the National Archives Museum, which said that the powder was found to be a combination of pigment and cornstarch.

altec,

Great, so the US is going to marginally cut their greenhouse gas emissions. Unfortunately, this is a global problem, and globally, we achieved record emissions this year.

altec,

I assume she never married in her other lives due to her bad experience being dumped by her fiance and wanting to live independently. The marriage this time was just a convenient way to live a leisurely life.

altec,

Eh, I’m in this category. Why save money for retirement, when I could just enjoy today? Is life ever going to get better than right now?

What’s the point of living a worse life right now to bank on a retirement that may or may not happen in a world which will be measurably worse in almost every way? Rich people and politicians don’t give a fuck about climate change.

altec,

Eh, it’s also a convenience problem. If I want to watch a specific movie, good luck figuring out what streaming service it’s on. It’s so nice to be able to just watch what I want without that hassle.

altec,

But according to Nancy Pelosi, it’s just Chinese propaganda!

Music Piracy Is Back, Baby (gizmodo.com)

“Muso, a research firm that studies piracy, concluded that the high prices of streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music are pushing people back towards illegal downloads. Spotify raised its prices by one dollar last year to $10.99 a month, the same price as Apple Music. Instead of coughing up $132 a year, more consumers...

altec,

For music, I think yes. For other forms of media, not so much.
