Have also been out of the loop too but went through the know your meme page.

Pirate Software made a video a year ago criticizing the initiative on a very surface level and has continued to do so in streams. Guy who created/sponsored/however-that-works the initiative posted a counter-argument video talking about what the initiative would actually do. Pirate Software did the ol’ Internet Doubledown and in general was kind of an ass and kind of revealed some ignorance. Cue Youtube Drama.

Duck Season is pretty fun too FWIW.

Same, been kicking myself since I found out it was all gone a few weeks ago. Don’t know why I didn’t make a ‘just in case’ backup / export.

Still infuriating they can just go “oops all gone”. It came through the roll-out fine, I remember looking stuff up in February. As far as I can tell it was a later unrelated glitch.

Google also accidentally deleted a random amount of user’s timeline data if you didn’t immediately catch it and restore from back up last March before the affected backups were overwritten. If you didn’t keep a close enough watch on your timeline to know that that happened, everything before ~Feb 2025 is gone now.

Ask me how I know. Yes I kept up on permissions. Yes I had backups on. No I didn’t have a new device. I even have dozens of available gigabytes of paid storage on Google One.

I’m sure it will only get more stable due to maps and timeline being revenue generators that encourage investment.

Popularized definitely, he was working off an at the time recent pop history book about Tesla.

Tesla’s been the subject of a lot of weird counter-cultural co-opting since his death. Kinda like Che but for electricity instead of marxism.

Knowledge is eventually gained, someone would have built practical devices relating to nuclear fission, whether that was a bomb or a reactor.

Nazi Germany would not have done that in any time frame relevant to WWII. They specifically rejected aspects of atomic/quantum theory because they were tainted by “jewish science” which unknowingly set them back decades and sent them in the wrong direction. As much as they were obsessed with super weapons, they were very unscientific in their R&D.

Pantone doesn’t mean much when the lighting conditions change throughout the day.

Maybe maybe not. Camo is just about playing the odds, nothing works from every angle or circumstance. If tires on wings means 5% more planes survive it’s probably worth it.

Probably a me problem but kept having problems with that docker on unraid, it’s just in the community apps ‘store’. The vm seemed to just crash randomly.

I switched over to their B2 storage and just use rclone to an encrypted bucket and it’s ~<$5/mo which I’m good with. Biggest cost is if I let it run too often and it spends a bunch of their compute time listing files to see if it needs to update them.

“Vet” covers everyone from Air Force Tower Controllers to Navy Seals to the guy in charge of records in a basement in Alaska and more.

For 4 years active duty and 4 years reserve most people are involved in logistics or records, and few of those have to know anything about radar.

F1 maxes out around 6/7Gs, but they’re not solely limited by tire friction, they’re effectively upside down planes that use their airfoils to get more traction. A lot of the difference is sideways Gs are harder. A pilot getting pushed down into their seat while banking through a turn can have more control than a driver getting pulled to the outside of the turn.

There a lot of numbers higher than the 9Gs that are safe-ish and reasonable-ish for human drivers/pilots to experience regularly. A big bag of water with bones inside that likes to breathe doesn’t take well to high levels of acceleration, eg. really fast turns.

“Very little fiber”, “Frequently have a lot of oil”, and “Relatively high in salt and sugar” aren’t a classification, they’re vibes.

“Use of Emulsifiers” is worthless. Eggs, garlic, and butter are emulsifiers.

NOVA is not about finding stuff out, it’s about creating a science-y sounding framework to replace the food pyramid.

“Real bread” meets that definition of ultra-processed. It’s a bunch of individual constituents (flour, water, yeast, etc.) that are mixed together.

Building from source is always going to come with complications. That’s why most people don’t do it. A docker compose file that ‘just’ downloads the stable release from a repo and starts running is dramatically more simple than cross-referencing all your services to make sure there are no dependency conflicts.

There’s an added layer of complexity under the hood to simplify the common use case.

It’s formatted weird on the Steam page but I have this text at the top.

“TotalSpend” is the total amount of external funds applied to your account. This value is used to determine if an account is a “Limited User Account”.

“OldSpend” is the amount of external funds applied before Friday, April 17, 2015 18:00:00 UTC. If your account was linked to Perfect World for CS:GO or Dota 2,

“PWSpend” will be the approximate USD value of funds applied from Perfect World, otherwise that value will be zero. If your account has applied external funds in Steam China,

“ChinaSpend” will report that total, in RMB.

Weirdly I also have a row for “PackageOnlySpend” that doesn’t have a definition.

When watching the plumber work it’s unhelpful to complain that they aren’t fixing the electrical.

If you want to be part of a team attempting vast sweeping changes with no oversight or nuance maybe DOGE is still hiring.

Granted that’s not in Japan.

The last supported Samsung device was the S4.

Because ordering someone to develop something is more complicated and nuanced than saying what they’re currently doing is unacceptable and they need to do something else. Courts are a reactive body. Legislature is who would need to push for open kernels/hardware/firmware.

GrapheneOS

The phone OS that only runs on Pixel devices. That’ll teach Google.

Maybe instead of spending hundreds of man-hours and resources to detain someone indefinitely with no charges they could ask her to fill out the form fully instead of arresting her.

“You forgot to fill out these boxes, back of the line.” would surely be more ‘efficient’ if that were the point wouldn’t it?
