Now I understand why the sock company is called Bombas lol.

Okay honest question, when you merge a PR in GitHub and choose the squash commits box is that “rebasing”? Or is that just squashing? Because it seems that achieves the same thing you’re talking about.

cobra89,

Lmao I’m in the NYC area and my whole house shook. I’m right there with you. Thanks for the explanation!

cobra89,

Nah fuck that, that’s not a deterrent and businesses will just see that as the cost of doing business. They should be forced to refund everyone for the entire game no questions asked. There was no disclaimer when purchasing this game that says “we may completely disable this game and render it useless, even single player, on short notice at any time.” What are you supposed to do, buy the game, then read the terms of service and maybe interpret it as them having the ability to do that and then return the game? Absolute BS.

I don’t think any reasonable consumer would purchase a game if they knew it could be made completely unplayable in the next 3 months. Which is exactly what happened here. It was still on sale in December and was shut down in March…

This puts undue hardship on the consumer to make sure they’re not getting ripped off and there’s not even a clear way to be able to do that. This is the exact situation regulations are for.

Dude straight up looks like Voldemort.

Lol again, everyone in this community loves to call The Verge corporate shills but then has no problem upvoting and commenting on posts like these. Like if the Verge were truly biased by corporate interests, wouldn’t an article like this be the place most ripe for that bias to show through and be a problem?

I get that the community is not a hive mind and is made up of many different people, but on posts where people are criticizing the Verge because they don’t like the way they show the corporate viewpoint you’d be drowned out completely if you were to argue anything otherwise. The irony just kills me.

cobra89,

I mean it is but it isn’t. I think Nilay wanted to get the Verge back at the top of the search engine results but also wanted to make a point about why he had to do it. It’s funny because it’s really 2 paragraphs about it and then the rest of it is a normal article about the best printer lol. And the fun Gemini thing thrown in.

Yeah I feel like they neglected to show how much more of a problem on iOS this is than Android.

On Android apps typically have their push notifications divided into different types and can almost always turn off the marketing notifications for an app while leaving the important ones on.

I dont see even half of these notifications on Android.

Can’t remember if I took the poll, cis man but very queer lol.

They’re right. The modern versions of rm have a safe guard and you need to type –no-preserve-root to force it to delete /.

You can also just do sudo rm -rf /* and let shell expansion do the rest.

WARNING: DO NOT RUN THESE COMMANDS. THEY WILL DELETE EVERYTHING ON YOUR ROOT PARTITION.

Is the original 8mm version still not under patent? You could just take that one and cut 1mm of height off of it.

Did you read the article?

When people look up at the sun normally, the intense brightness triggers pain that causes them to look away quickly before it can cause damage, said Dr. Philip Hooper, president of the Canadian Ophthalmological Society.

But as the moon starts to block the sun in the period leading up to the total eclipse “there is significant light energy that’s coming from the sun, but we don’t appreciate pain. And so you can look at it long enough to do damage to the eye,” said Hooper, who is also an associate professor of ophthalmology at Western University in London, Ont.

Like yes, staring at the sun any time is bad, I don’t think anyone is disputing that, but there are factors as to why an eclipse makes it more likely for people to damage their eyes.

Please, for the love of God, VOTE! (pawb.social)

I don’t like Biden either, but anyone with half a brain knows there are two choices in the 2020 election. If we had a sane voting system, voting third party might be worth it, but as it stands, no one but you knows your favorite candidate exists and unless you want to become their campaign manager that will still be true in...

cobra89,

When morons like you throw around the word fascist it loses all meaning. Fucking too busy calling Biden a fascist to prevent the actual fascist from gaining office. The irony is palpable.

cobra89,

What kills me are the people whose preferred form of government is not currently the most popular form of government somehow think that after a revolution that their preferred form of government will win out. They’re delusional. In most cases the government gets worse, much worse, before it gets better.

cobra89,

Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a loooooong time.

Edit: It probably is Iomega. That looks like a ZIP drive which was a technology owned by Iomega.

I guess I’m confused on the definition of a “tonne” of CO2. Am I to believe that if that cube was completely full of CO2 that volume of CO2 would weigh 1000kg?

Nevermind, just looked it up. It’s actually a measure of volume, just 1000 cubic meters, which makes perfect sense.

Edit: it was actually the first one, although a “tonne” as a measure of volume does exist.

cobra89,

Confirmed with this MIT page: climate.mit.edu/…/how-much-ton-carbon-dioxide

cobra89,

I mean, those are much higher than 1 atmosphere though.

cobra89,

There’s nothing protecting pigeons though right? What about Canadian geese?

I’m sure Billie Joe would agree with you. He’s always been a real one.

Alternatively, boycotting a company really doesn’t do shit these days. People have short memories and you’ll never get enough people boycotting Blizzard to actually make an impact. Especially over an issue like this. People stop caring about a boycott for much bigger things, a boycott over something like this would never accomplish anything. They’re probably recouping more money from their change than they are losing over this.

Really the only way change happens is for people like Rossman to draw enough attention to an issue that Congress actually does something about it. Your exercise is a noble one, but it’s an exercise in futility. That being said, I haven’t given Blizzard any money since the workplace harassment scandal came out.

They’re working just as hard as the people above them

Woah woah woah, let’s not get out of hand here. We all know they’re working way harder than the people above them.

This “article” which is a trash opinion piece (see the /opinion/ in the link) paints the US as responsible but then references and links to The Intercept’s article which states the following:

Documents obtained by The Intercept contain new evidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the nearby Wuhan University Center for Animal Experiment, along with their collaborator, the U.S.-based nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance, have engaged in what the U.S. government defines as “gain-of-function research of concern,” intentionally making viruses more pathogenic or transmissible in order to study them, despite stipulations from a U.S. funding agency that the money not be used for that purpose.

So the US Government literally told them they could not use the funding for that purpose and this non-profit organization did it anyway. And then this trash article proceeds to paint the US Government as responsible for what happened not to mention the fact that there is no direct evidence showing this lab has anything to do with the COVID-19 outbreak. It’s circumstantial conjecture at best.

This isn’t journalism, it’s a trash opinion piece that’s clearly meant to smear the US as responsible for COVID-19. Ask yourself why that is.

Sachs is an economist and public policy professor. The guy doesn’t have a medical background at all.

What does “he lead the lancet team” even mean?!?

The Lancet is a medical journal. Of course it is referenced in the wikipedia page, they are links to peer reviewed medical articles. None of which have anything to do with Sachs as far as I can tell. So what is “the lancet team”?

And why is someone “deeply involved with the government’s response” writing an opinion piece for a publication barely anyone has ever heard of? Surely if they were so high profile they could get an actual renowned publication to publish their piece.

Not to mention the fact that medical researchers don’t write opinion pieces on their subject of research. That’s just not something that is done. They write journals.

Maybe because this Sach’s guy just wants attention, notoriety, and money? He has a whole personal website with a page dedicated to his articles, again something that is not typical for a researcher: www.jeffsachs.org/newspaper-articles

Every single article is at Common Dreams. And look at all those topics. Writing about the war on Gaza, and the War on Ukraine too. Is he an expert in virology, world politics, or economics? Which is it? Lol

I could understand politics since that is his actual field but this guy has zero background in economics nor health. Not sure why you’re deciding this guy is the hill you want to die on.
