I’d pretend to be outraged except I don’t give a shit. They could go after the Chinese companies for continuing to sell products they know are dangerous and/or illegal in the US but so far nobody has done that.

Suppressors should probably just be an over the counter item anyway, as they are in much of Europe. They are a hearing safety device. The NFA is bullshit.

It’s not a toy. It makes real cupcakes… with a 40 watt bulb… and there’s icing packets. But the secret ingredient is love… Damn it.

Every streaming service now hordes their decent IP and sprinkles it in amongst a vast pile of shovelware content. They prize exclusives but don’t adequately communicate what they have access to or why, or when the rights to that content expire.

There’s nothing more ridiculous than paying for two streaming services, having shared access to two more, and then realizing the old movie you want to watch is only available as an ala carte $1.99 rental on a 5th service.

At that point just Yarr that shit.

For an ancient venal egotist like Joe, the fact that Kamala lost is close to a best case scenario. He would’ve gotten completely waxed if he had stayed in… but now he gets to say he was forced aside by the party leaders (Pelosi, the Obamas etc.) and that is completely verifiably true, but he also gets to claim he totally would’ve won, which is very likely not true, but now we will never know.

I just use ViMusic or RiMusic or one of those types of forks. I believe it uses YouTube and other sources. It is ad-free and has the usual stuff you’d expect like suggestions, playlists, genres etc. Occasionally the source platform will make a change that breaks it, an update comes out fixes it.

That and there are still (probably ancient at this point) desktop clients that scrape your Pandora and download local copies of all the tracks. That’s another good way to never listen to ads.

Attacking a Christmas market to protest Islamism seems a bit like attacking an Amish farm to protest consumer electronics.

Can’t wait for system TDPs that make industrial refrigeration seem cheap and efficient.

That wasy thought as well. NK is a heavily propagandized population. Makes me wonder - What are they telling those soldiers, and do they believe it?

Did Tipper Gore get resurrected somehow? I thought she got banished to the shadow realm.

I’ve got news for him. A large percentage of federal employees do fuckall when they’re in the office. The remote part has little to do with it.

But not before causing 2+ years of tedious previously-unnecessary migration work. Thanks a lot assholes.

Weird flex but ok

Wonder what the driver support will be like…

I was hoping this could be a viable option for someone who last built a new PC nearly a decade ago now, and can’t stomach the idea of spending more on one flagship card than my entire old build cost altogether.

At the same time, with all the invasive changes Microsoft has made to Windows during that time, I am not building another Windows PC. Last I looked the Intel Arc series of cards had crappy support for Linux so hopefully that improves.

This is bullshit. There are many people hired with the job title “Software Engineer” who don’t sit and generate code, and for a number of reasons.

You could be on a hybrid team that does projects and support, so you spend 80% of your time attending meetings, working tickets, working with users, and shuffling paper in whatever asinine change management process your company happens to use.

I have worked places where “engineers” ended up having to spend most of their time dicking around in ServiceNow/Remedy/etc. instead of doing their actual jobs. That’s shitty business process design and shitty management, and not a reflection of the employee doing nothing.

Yeah I was just about to say one obvious flaw in his methodology is that people could show up as “high productivity” by adding thousands of lines of worthless comments.

Its not really a “win” for anybody. It has a 60 day timeframe, which not-at-all-coincidentally aligns to expire right as Biden leaves office. Then Israel will have the greenlight to pursue whichever strategy they wish.

Most of the consumption excesses people on Lemmy condemn the US for, are enabled and facilitated by China. The entire “disposable crap” culture is only possible because of China and its cheap manufacturing base, and lesser standards of health, safety, environmental protection, etc.

Shit he can sell that thing for so many Bells

Good thing they bundled home and auto insurance

People don’t always budget for this stuff and fail to factor in that in some areas your property taxes and insurance can creep up and pretty soon your manageable mortgage payment becomes less manageable.
