Still crapware, in a way.

Gas prices affect you too, even if you don’t own anything with an engine in it. You might not have to buy any fuel, but the farmers that produce your food need the stuff for their equipment. As do the drivers of the trucks that transport almost everything you buy. Gas prices are tied to the general cost of living in a way that doesn’t even involve personal transportation. You should be complaining about them too.

You replace them new lids. Where I live loose jar lids are sold in packs in practically every supermarket. Really not difficult to find at all.

Weird that it’s an either-or situation.

Wait a minute though. What does it mean that I have never heard my boss throat singing?

I mean I might. He has an 8 pack. He is shredded.

Most mobile devices have their power management modules configured to prevent booting unless they receive an all good signal from a connected battery. It is possible to take that signal, but not trivial.

That’s likely. In the article you can see the flag being tagged as a plate with a confidence score way below most minimums. That means the detection model itself is pretty sure it’s not looking at a license plate but Flock is still keeping that patch tagged. Maybe there are legitimate real life reasons for accepting such low confidence scores, but I’m skeptical about that.

I watched the extended look. There was a very clearly enunciated “what the fuck” about 18 seconds into the video, so there’s that. I guess that’s not enough or something?

I mean if you watch the opening scene of a movie and then stop, have you watched it?

Oh it is serious. That genuinely is the level of quality at the late stage of that man’s career. His movies were mind bogglingly bad. He was probably making them only to launder money.

Well there actually was this one DC “hero” called Dogwelder who, well, welded dogs to people’s faces. With a welder that looked suspiciously like a plasma cutter. Maybe Batman teamed up with him.

This scene makes me irrationally angry. It is truly one of the worst, laziest “just flail your arms at each other” choreographies out there. It’s not the only one of that kind of lazy movie fighting, but this one bothers me extra with how it doubles down on laziness with that chair. The dudes never even try to get close enough to hit the other. Someone like Jackie Chan would have found a way to creatively use that chair and turn it into an interesting concept for a fight that’s enjoyable to watch but that fat fuck is just sitting there doing nothing. That fucking Ponytail Michelin Man. His music makes me wanna pour acid into my ears too.

No, SEO people’s job is to exploit those rules to maximize visibility at all costs. I’ve worked with those people. They will do all sorts of shit, put out all sorts of spam to rank one spot higher in the results. They expend insane amounts of effort trying to figure out how to trick search engines into ranking their stuff higher, into finding weaknesses in the algorithms. They’re absolutely NOT innocent players of the game.

They do, but there’s no magical button that they can press to cleanse the internet from marketing bloat or even prevent it from polluting the internet. Whatever they do, there will always be people actively trying to game Google’s attempts to present useful search results for the user. There will always be very well funded marketing departments working full time trying to manipulate any search algorithm, any ranking method imaginable that Google might employ. And they can never be stopped, only managed. A battle that can’t be won, only fought. It’s an impossible task, and despite my burning hatred for Google I still think it’s a miracle that their search results are as useful as they are, given the truly incomprehensibly enormous amount of spam that’s out there.

That’s not entirely Google’s fault. SEO people have been assaulting Google’s algorithms for decades. Their unrelenting attempts to game the results for their own profit ruined the internet for everyone. They are the ones who produced bloat in unfathomable quantities to manipulate search results in their favor. Those cooking websites are just the casualties of the never-ending war between aggressive marketing departments and search engine algorithms. It’s easy to blame Google because they’re generally shit, but they’re not really the only guilty party here, perhaps not even the most.

Logitech, in their infinite wisdom, coated the hand contact surfaces of their mice with this soft rubbery plastic material. That material feels nice to the touch for like a year, but it’s an absolute filth magnet. Constant contact with skin oil and general human filth rapidly fucks it up and it becomes a disgusting mess in no time. Thing’s very difficult to clean too because it holds onto crap for dear life and it’s such a pathetically fragile material that any remotely not-gentle application of force while cleaning will permanently and visibly dent and dink and tear the surface. The result is an absolutely horrendous circus of holes and wrinkles and other assorted visual damage.

I hate, hate that material. With a passion that burns hotter than the sun. My MX master is a wonderful mouse but the state of its exterior disgusts me now, after like 6 years of ownership. I try not to look at it or think about it.

Who’d a guessed a ginormous and expensive public infrastructure project that requires meticulous long term planning and the acquisition of literally thousands of privately owned pieces of land (often through long and expensive legal processes, sometimes spanning various different jurisdictions) takes longer than bolting a couple thousand plastic boxes onto poles, or building what’s essentially a large-ish industrial facility?

I am a big fan of rail transport. Use it more than my car because it’s just better. But let’s be real.

To be fair, a disc version of GTA 6 would not make any sense anyway. There’s no possible way that game would fit in any modern disc format, so the “disc” would just be a download with extra steps.

Je ne veux pas deux cent cinquante grammes d’olives.

1. Yes. Nvidia drivers are usable enough, but they regularly cause power management related issues for me. I gave up on sleep because of Nvidia drivers. One update breaks it and then the next update fixes it, only for the next update after that to break it again. Never had any issues before the current Nvidia GPU.
2. Their drivers are simply better integrated into the OS and better developed for Linux. That’s all really. AMD drivers have more effort put into them.
3. Bad. Not good. Expect tons of compatibility issues and straight up impossibilities and jumping through hoops.
