In contrast, I set my nephew up with Linux Mint, and he is now slowly converting the rest of his family to open source solutions.
My understanding is that they keep having conversations about privacy news, and he keeps knowing a solution, which sometimes is Android or Linux based. So now his parents will ask me "Is it true the XY protects against YZ and is free?"
It's been a pretty cool thing to watch.
I find Garyjay helps with this, by mingling videos from other services.
Sometimes by the time I've tried one of the first videos to load from other services, the PeerTube results have loaded for me.
Yes.
At this rate, we will be having a "local files are hard for the average user" debate, here, in another decade.
Which, maybe it will be, at that point.
Makes me suspect they have some lawyers on staff who were able to read America's laws -b which read to a lay-lerson as 'we absolutely always spy on everything you host on our soil'.
It's often the ones we most suspected.
a picture of Reagan with quotes of how Russia is the enemy, and tariffs are bad for everybody.
That's particularly good.
Sorry, I left off the sarcasm tag. I'm not confident that this will help anything.
Haha!
But...yeah. This is how I make friends in real life, though.
Edit: Now I am checking timestamps to see if my needlessly using the word "cromulent" in another thread comment might have helped inspire this delight...
Edit 2: Just a coincidence. And evidence that I live this meme, too.
I think I understand this pitch to be:
"Insider trading isn't insider trading if it's done under religious trappings and with an AI in the middle."
Normally I hate AI news. But if someone is promising an AI that will debate endlessly with the Bible as it's foundational knowledge...well, I think that could make the world a better place - by wasting the time of people with nothing better to contribute to society than debate about the Bible.
Maybe they can do that in a corner, somewhere, instead of interrupting those who understood the Bible in a single read and are feeding the hungry and caring for windows and orphans.
I find that con artists don't like to communicate slowly. It makes them uncomfortable.
Oh its the old marry me and have some kids sting. Oldest trick in the book.
Like Talor Tominsons comedy bit:
"Oh, are you going to stay loyally by my side for a lifetime and die of old age holding hands in matching medical beds? Is that your dating move?!"
Oof. Hopefully a security professional will slap some sense into someone before it gets out of beta.
Should have pulled the blue lever harder. Pulling the blue lever also slows the trolley down sometimes, at least locally, for some of the people tied to the tracks.
I've heard that war is good for business.
Lots of huge corporation owners are suffering from making a long series of head-up-their-own-ass stupid choices, right now.
Now they must choose between hiring experienced advisors to guide a slow chain of reasonable pro-social long term profitable choices - or starting a bloody war.
I know which choice I'm expecting.
"Blow up the damn ship, Picard!"

But really, Viola Davis' entire performance carries the whole film and makes every important moment land.
Yes. Starfinder has planets, and some planets have caves.
Congratulations!

Infinity is effectively just bullshit.
I'm fond of pointing out to my students that there's a very practical reason to care about "infinity" in math:
While nothing ever reaches "infinity", things absolutely do reach a point where they violently fly to pieces and catch on fire.
So I teach my students to substitute the phrase "explodes and catches on fire" where they see an equation that "approaches infinity".
I find it helps them pay attention to a subject that is otherwise bullshit. Infinity itself is bullshit, but it has a place in math: telling us when to quickly duck behind a good solid oak table.
