This is so funny because counterspell would still just be the best in the game

Thats an interesting wrinkle I hadn't considered. Was the release in Brazil done at the same time? Maybe XP benefitted from additional patches before the Brazilian release.

As millenials I think the best thing we can do for the later generations is to just take a back seat. Thanks to boomers our generation has never held political power, and if we accept that and immediately pass to the younger gens instead of trying to make up for lost time I think we will leave them in a better spot.

After reading the article it seems likely this is still the case. They said operating system links still open in edge even when you have another browser configured, so Microsoft is still putting Edge in a privileged position. I guess we just have to wait and see how privileged it ends up being.

Closed source software has the exact same bullying issue, the difference is instead of the bullies being random people on the internet, they are managers with power over you. They are at least as likely to make you do something dangerous as the randoms, but they don't have to try as hard to hide it.

Something about Gaza and the election I think people need to consider is that eventually the government documents and intelligence on this is going to become public. With how much of what the IDF has said has already been shown to be outright fabrications, I can't escape the conclusion that the U.S. Government communications on this are going to be incredibly damning. Every time a US official uncritically accepts IDF propoganda we are adding explosives to the ticking bomb that is the public exposure.

Not pressuring Biden on Gaza is gambling that this all remains sealed until after the election, or that there isn't anything in there that will destroy his chances in November. Supporting the genocide is both unconscionable AND an extreme electoral risk.

Repeatedly murdering the same small group of heroic individuals on ritual meat hooks at the direction of an eldritch being

The context is that just recently Taylor Swift sent a cease and desist to the twitter account tracking her and other celebrity private jet usage because she is embarassingly bad about using it for tiny flights.

The other side of it is the story about the cop in Florida who unloaded his pistol into his police cruiser while someone was inside because he mistook an acorn hitting the roof of the car for a muffled gunshot. He fired his whole clip into the car and yelled 'I'm hit' which also got his partner to shoot their clip into the cruiser.

I wouldn't dismiss this just yet. Mozilla has already been doing some open source AI work, specifically their speech offerings. If they invest in these and they get better I think we all stand to gain from having good text to speech and speech recognition available outside of Apple/Amazon/Microsoft/Google

beaucoup bucks

I've never seen this phrase in print before and the spelling is fucking me up a bit ngl

The problem is you need a executive body that already agrees with you to select you from their choices of consultant. We're not rational creatures and are our personal biases make it so we're more likely to hire the consultant that reflects our preconceived ideas

I think people believe it is a sign you are striving to excel or that you care about the work you are doing.

In my case I think I talk about how much overtime I work because I got insecurities about my productivity drilled into me as a child with undiagnosed ADHD. Constantly being told you don't work hard enough regardless of the effort you put in will give you some weird hangups. I think subconsciously its about needing external validation that the time you put in was adequate, or insecurity around 'work ethic'

NixOS ended up disappointing me a fair bit. I just tried it recently and the KDE support seems very rough so far, or at least I couldn't find good answers to how to configure it and theme it.
