I switched to Kubuntu (KDE Plasma with Wayland turned on) and it’s absolutely wonderful.

I lost my dad to cancer when I was 30 but now I have a son that is 9 months old and I will definitely be keeping the tradition alive!

My dad and I used to do this for fun back in the 90s 😂

I recently upgraded to the new GE all in one washer dryer. Removes a massive step of having to move clothes between dryer and washer. Toss em in, and 2 hours later they’re done. Best part is they can be tossed in before bed and ready in the morning for work!

Logging in to cancel my switch online right now. I was using YUZU to play games I bought from them, in some cases even more than once. F Nintendo. I won’t be buying a Switch 2.

No the comic is pointing out that the sun and the earth are both orbiting the milky way galactic center.

Edit: While also true, I was wrong, they orbit the center of mass of the two body problem (earth and sun). I still think that’s too simple of a way to look at it. It’s not a two body problem and the other planets and the whole galaxy are also in play.

It’s not “no one”, Because I left reddit and I left chrome. Lemmy and Firefox!

But yeah not many people will actually do it.

Yeah there is a setting and now when I click links it opens in Firefox. But if you use the Google search widget it still opens in chrome, which is to be expected I guess.

I’d like to believe that enough of us actually stopped using chrome and switched to Firefox the day they made that announcement that swayed them… But in reality I’m sure it was just the bad press and they’re going to try to find a different more sneaky way to do the same shit.

I live in rural Washington too, in the mountains. There was a local ISP that was terrible and amazingly a very small ISP bought them out from Arizona. The first thing they did was start to run fiber to anyone who wanted it. I went from shit DSL to 1gig up and 1 gig down fiber. To top it all off, they’ve lowered my monthly price once and doubled my bandwidth once… Without even asking, I even emailed them to check if my bill was lower and speed was faster and they were like yep! Mind blown.

I have a cat that I swear had to have been a dog in her past life. She wants to play fetch non-stop. We can throw two balls and she’ll go get both into her mouth and bring them back and put them back in our hand. She’s so obsessed that we have to keep the balls in a drawer locked away. When we put them away she will spend a day digging underneath everything looking for them. And we can leave them there for months but if someone opens that drawer she will hear it from across the whole house and come running. Then the whole thing starts over.

Amazon is one of the most evil companies on the planet and yet it’s not on your list but Costco is? Gonna have to completely disagree with you. Costco is probably one of if not the best company in the fortune 500. They operate and live by their code ethics to do the right thing. They’ve never ever had a lay off of employees, they treat people right.

You called them out for a subscription model, yet don’t understand what they are offering at all. What store can you shop at that offers products at zero margin? Costco’s yearly net profit is the number of members times the membership cost. Their entire business profit is only the $100 membership fee per person. That’s all they want to make from each person.

Edit: And then you have Amazon. Where they use people and dump them. Have a vulturistic operating model. They literally have meetings and design their software to trick people into buying at a higher cost. They’ll manipulate anyone anyway they see fit to make as much money as possible from them. They sell stolen and counterfeit products and they know it, they just let it happen because validating products would cost them money. They’d rather just say sorry if you catch them and give a refund.

This is legitimately how it works in the US between insurance and pharma/medical.

I just had a baby and I added up the total bill from the hospital and it was $100,000. We were in the hospital for 3 days. My insurance “negotiated” it down to $26,000, and I paid $3000.

The $100,000 is completely made up from the beginning. Pharma and medical just slap big ass ridiculous numbers down, then the insurance fake negotiates down to a still completely ridiculous number, then that cost has to get eaten by people who pay into insurance, which is basically everyone.

Do you have lidar on your head? No, yet you’re able to drive with just two cameras on your face. So no lidar isn’t required. Not that driving in a very dynamic world isn’t very difficult for computers to do, it’s not a matter of if, it’s just a matter of time.

Would lidar allow “super human” driving abilities? Like seeing through fog and in every direction in the dark, sure. But it’s not required for the job at hand.

Holy shit this finally got it to click in my head.

It’s not free, we are paying for everything NASA does with our taxes.

Same here and I haven’t received any warning or blocking. As soon as I get told or blocked then I’ll cancel. That way in their metrics they see I was blocked and then cancelled. But so far it just keeps working.

I am already a Plex user but I gave Jellyfin a try. Hoping to ditch Plex and fully self host it. But unfortunately I use Chromecast on all the TVs in my house and the Jellyfin Chromecast integration is terrible :(

That’s what I never understood about cable tv! Never once have I paid for a service that forces me to watch ads. I would never pay for that!
