Did they just not see the backlash and class actions filed against PayPal/Honey, CapitalOne, etc. for this same affiliate code swapping scheme and just decided they’d do it anyway? Surely they had to have seen that, or did they think it was a good idea done blatantly and are trying to be sneakier about it?

Fight Club (1999). If you don’t know the twist, don’t read anything about it, just watch it. I really like David Fincher’s films but this is definitely my favorite.

Honorable mentions: Poor Things (2023) Parasite (2019) Midsommer (2019) Requiem for a Dream (2000) Oldboy (2003)

Oh man I forgot about these, I had one as a kid and loved it. I had also found an old instrument cluster in my dad’s car parts horde and asked him if he could hook it up to the game and make it work. He was too polite to say it was a stupid idea, so he just said “sorry, bud, that’s a little outside my knowledge” but attached it to the top anyway so I could pretend.

Good times.

The OOP just changed which walled garden they’re living in at this point. Even with ad blocking through DNS, etc you’re still heavily reliant on Google allowing you to run apps or even web apps in Chrome.

If you want the MacBook feel and power, just install Asahi Linux, you’ve already got the hardware.

Say neigh to AI slop

Oh no where I grew up it was very literal, my parents said it and even teachers when kids fell on the playground at school.

US, specifically in the country. Fall off your bike and scrape your knee, rub some dirt in it and keep going, for example.

“Just rub some dirt in it, you’ll be fine”

Ah yes, introduce who knows what kind of bacteria, possible fecal matter and foreign material into an open wound and be surprised when it gets infected.

I’ll admit, I did this as a kid many times but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea

Listening to this guy made me genuinely angry, it was just so many non answers and “the lessons are the report” and being convinced for some reason that Jon kept asking for a smoking gun when he never said those words. It’s shit like that that shows why the DNC is the way it is

Pentagon worker: show me the best option to take out this compound

Gemini: Sure! I can help with that! First, kys. Second, jet fuel doesn’t melt steel beams so be sure to use something like napalm or a nuclear warheads

Toyota did it lazily in my '21 Rav4, just pull the fuse for the modem and it doesn’t care. Just don’t let a dealer plug into the system in case that data can still be downloaded physically

UK specifically right now, will probably spread soon to other places.

While Sony won’t be requiring age verification for UK and Ireland PlayStation accounts until June, you can verify early and avoid losing access to features. Both Microsoft and Sony are making age verification mandatory in the UK as more parts of the Online Safety Act come into force this year.

You just had to get political didn’t you?

Frog is wearing a Lego hat, part number 4520723 usually used for Lego Indiana Jones sets.

Yes I’m autistic thanks for asking

I’ve only blocked a few accounts mainly for being absolute dipshits or spam bots, most are banned now anyway.

For everything else, you get either a nice tag labeled “clown” or if you’re clearly a MAGA chud, “MAGA clown”. Several tankies are tagged as such, plus a few I’ve seen that are possibly anti LGBT+ but have also posted about being LGBT+ so I’m unsure on them.

Basically just don’t be a dick or give misinformation and you’re pretty much fine with me.

Glad I could help 🤝

Most thermal paper isn’t recyclable though, the chemicals that allow the heat to print onto them can’t be easily recycled. A simple Brother laser printer would be a better option for most people if they’re just printing black text

I bet whoever at Valve that looks over this data was very confused because I got prompted for the hardware survey on my M1 MacBook Pro running Asahi. They probably looked at the reported hardware and scratched their head

Edit: actually, two of my systems probably made them scratch their heads. My main rig has a 7800XT as a main GPU and a 3090 as a secondary (video encoding/local LLM usage) and they both show up in my system info lol

It makes me sad Wade said he wasn’t gonna do Linux videos anymore because the videos didn’t do well, especially his Linux Olympics video. Sure his testing methodology wasn’t perfect but for the every man type of tech tuber usually playing with old crap electronics he’s a good point of entry for that type of audience

Ah yeah I remember that from when I lived there, got local wine once and never again. I thought you were gonna say they had a recall for making people sick or something lol
