For me it was the "Amazon Day" shipping that bundles up a week's worth of separate orders into one shipping day. Convenient sure but now I'm not getting 2-day shipping... so what am I paying for again? I'll just bundle up the orders and shipping my damn self.

Or it's a company so fuckoff huge that one department (Chrome on Android) couldn't get a bug report escalated in another department (YouTube). Eventually they just put in a UA workaround while the bug rots in a backlog somewhere. Common enterprise bullshit.

Or the Chrome on Android team didn't even bother reporting the issue to YouTube and just threw in a cheap workaround. Also common enterprise bullshit.

He could have just stuck to the deal he already agreed to in May. The extreme right would still hate him but Democrats would have at least one reason to help him out. Now the crazy pants caucus hates him for caving and the Democrats know he cannot be trusted. He did this to himself.

This looks like grub2-mkconfig was run with the output mistakenly set to /etc/default/grub. Someone ran

grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/default/grub

Instead of

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

This is what I'm asking. What do the contents of the documents have to do with the case at hand? How do the contents of these classified documents absolve him of the charges for making false statements and obstruction of justice?

And I'm very much not a fan of fucking up podcasts as a simple medium delivered by RSS. I have a futile hope that that decision will burn them.

This was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. When they started locking up shows to their app, I cancelled my subscription and dropped Spotify entirely. I don't even listen to any of the shows they bought but I do listen to a lot of podcasts through Pocket Casts and take umbrage when anybody fucks with the standards.

I thought I could do it. I really did. As soon as that first spoonful hit her mouth though, I was out.

Yep this was the correct call by the judge. It should have been blindingly obvious that this would be the result of them starting their relationship. Yet they went ahead with it anyway and put the whole case at risk. Completely insane decision making on display here.

Have you played the X series?

34 felony convictions so far.

And you're doing your part 🫑

Thinks driving a manual transmission vehicle is a personality trait?

This one is oddly specific πŸ˜†

You write like a maniac. Like someone standing on a street corner, screaming about conspiracies at anyone unfortunate enough to pass by.

Nobody is going to pay attention when you're blasting messages with all caps, minimal punctuation, and long strings of emoji. Most will simply ignore you and move on. Many will downvote on their way past.

using campaign funds to manage public relations problems seems a legitimate use

It is.

What he did was try to hide payments made to benefit his campaign. Would you consider illegally financing a campaign to be election interference?

I'm curious what phone you're planning to get that isn't a giant spyware device?

I got a good laugh out of that one! Easily one of the boomerest things I've heard

I like how that article has zero data, just a couple anecdotes from French people who don't seem to like America.

Great news Donald! You don't have to worry anymore!

So... YouTube then

Pelosi had one of the "hideaway" offices. They're intentionally kept secret so no name on the door, no open registry of who has what office. The location would need to be leaked by someone in the know.

Funny thing is that his base really doesn't like losers.

Yeah but they would never blindly follow a loser. All these court cases and elections are just frauds and everyone knows that if you've been frauded you didn't really lose! 100% win rate confirmed, logical consistency achieved.

He sounds like shit and I assume that's what's going to stick, not the actual content of his words. Great. πŸ™„

The slide β€” estimated to be 450 feet (137 meters) wide β€” occurred about 9 p.m. Monday during a significant rain and windstorm near Wrangell, an island community of 2,000 people some 155 miles (250 kilometers) south of the state capital of Juneau.

155 miles from Juneau. It's the second sentence in the article.

Good luck getting support for commercial software if you're running it under wine.

This is just one search result but it's showing 326 million phones shipped in just Q4 of last year. How many of those new phones do you think shipped with headphone jacks?

There's plenty of industry analysis out there that, while not perfect, is data showing that new phone sales have not been hampered by the removal of the headphone jack.

I'm rocking a Pixel 5a which does still have it and I do get a warm and fuzzy in my nerd brain by having it there. If I'm honest though, I used it maybe twice in the last year.

Just until America ceases existing. Could be 1000 more years, could be next January. The future is full of possibilities!

Once I'm in the air my backpack goes from under the seat to under my knees. Then I can stick my feet under the seat for that extra few inches of stretch. It's not a whole lot but it does help.

"Strikes" made me think they were cancelling the deal. Like strike-through, crossed it out, etc. Too bad.

Even when it does work you can end up with an empty box where the ad should be, still covering content, still with an infinitesimally small X to close the empty box.

My entire life has been a lie

Invidious and Freetube are still YouTube though?

It's not that wine is bad at supporting Windows applications necessarily. If you (or your company) buys software that supports some versions of Windows and you open a support ticket with some issue running in Linux under wine, that's a ticket that will likely be closed fast as an unsupported configuration.

Gargoyle's Quest has plenty of those weird old game difficulty spikes. Damned fine Game Boy game though. Good call!

Holy hell a little corner of my brain just lit up seeing "ASMIK World". The cart is buried in boxes but I know what I'll be emulating this weekend!

As if the horse was tying off and shooting up in the stable outhouse.

This episode of BoJack just got real dark.

Rolan's Curse (and its sequel) are pretty good Zelda-like action adventure games. They're not going to stand up to Link's Awakening but still, I remember them fondly.

Who is it for?

Parents/grandparents. What are kids for but as a vessel to live vicariously through?

You could have just admitted that you have no alternative. It's okay to do that.

Both can be true. It's a massive effort to upgrade the infrastructure. Comcast will squeeze every drop from the existing plant, then hem and haw for a few years while service suffers, before actually committing to the massive effort.
