That is fucking wild

This is the second article in as many days describing issues with a review unit.

It feels like the fediverse can be the true Web 3.0.

Ford learned this like 8 years ago.

I didn’t watch the uncensored version. Might have to give that a try.

That was my complaint after Die Hard with a Vengeance. He became a little indestructible and lost some of the flaws that made the character exciting to watch. The first 3 are great in keeping true to the character, but the movies after DHwaV are just generic action movies borrowing a character’s name.

This article is terribly written and seems to repeat itself a bit. Almost seems like it was written by a GPT system.

So, where does body positivity start and stop? It seems silly to say one extreme is acceptable but the other isn’t.

Now, I worry body positivity, in general, encourages people to ignore the need to make life style changes for their own personal health, but also, maybe, if it’s not my body, it’s none of my fucking business.

Did you read part two? The features are part of it (group chat functionality, media quality, etc) along with the seamlessness of it all. These users don’t want to download a separate app. They just want to text with the added features.

The users don’t care about the exclusivity. They care about two things:

1. The features.
2. The fact that it’s all the same app as SMS makes it extremely simple for ANYONE to figure out. It was a genius move for Apple to do that in the first place. Users didn’t need to THINK about using iMessage instead of SMS, the phone just did it. For the average user of these devices, that’s the kind of seamlessness it takes.

Man, a guy I know who has worked for and evangelized VMWare for years and he’s been oddly quiet on Mastodon today. Guess it’s time to reach out.

Update: His job is safe.

I’m sure I’ll never actually get to it, but I want to try to check this out next after the current book that’s taking way too long to read.

Recently booked some flights with United. Chose Economy (not Basic). Tried to book row 30 or something around there but they wanted an extra $140 per seat. Said fuck it and booked row 58. Two weeks later got an email letting me know my seats were changed to row 30 at no charge.

What a scam.

Looks like this guy grew up playing Paperboy on the NES.

I donated to Wikipedia, today. A few bucks to a very valuable site.

Passengers and their god damn legs always being in the way.

Absolutely necessary and I hope it is implemented sooner than later

Even the rumor of this makes Valve’s focus on Linux seem that much smarter.

To start, I don’t think it’ll be a “subscribe or else” type deal. My assumption would be something like a forced S mode unless you subscribe.

Second, people won’t jump right away. To start, word will get around and they’ll simply not update. Then, when it comes time to buy a new computer, the average user will be possibly swayed to look at entry level MB Airs (They often go on sale for like $750) or Chromebooks.

The people who will get really pissed will be power users and gamers who will be forced to shell out money to get back features they had in previous versions of the OS.

For the average consumer, this would help Apple and Google out more than anything. People want what they know.

On the more savvy user side and for gamers, this move would, potentially, help Linux adoption rates.
