Funny, this made me think of kidnapping & ransom demand.

Sounds like what these idiots did during Jan6.

All in all it’s just another brick in the wall.

It might take a while, but we will get you all.

Thanks but that’s just disambiguation. the word can mean both: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/palm

I guess as a user I just don’t want all my apps to open a tab in my browser. I want to move apps between virtual desktops and monitors independently and I don’t want my app’s window to be clattered by all the menus from my browser.

All this is already possible with most browsers.

All major browsers can do this - with the exception of running something in the background I guess. But that is exactly the sort of usage scenario where an Electron app is the worst choice. Coding a separate utility with no GUI would be the sane thing to do here, not put whole browser stacks into memory.

It’s because people want cross-platform apps and web is the easiest way to do it.

Just use the website then? There already is a suitable browser installed on every system. But no, must have apps. Makes it easier to stop people from having opinions about data collection and such. And the full browser stack needs to be fully reproduced each time. It gets really ridiculous when these apps sit idly in the notification area. Not to speak of security implications because electron apps and such usually don’t get timely updates.

No, Razer, your “mouse driver” does not need to load Chrome at all times, when I’ll only ever look at it once.

It’s funny; on Linux such devices work perfectly but many users complain that they “aren’t supported” because there’s no UI (that sits uselessly in your notification area and eats memory).

Is that a dutch number plate?

I’m confused, because a) I see two palms in the picture and b) cybertrucks are practically illegal in the EU and c) taking your car across an ocean would be a lot of effort.

Where is this?

edit: Problem solved I think. From the original reddit post:

This appears to be in a US state with no front license plate requirement. In those states, you can put just about anything decorative on the front. This includes fake Euro plates.

You’re right. This license plate belonged to a Citroen BX and was exported in 2018 so never belonged to this vehicle. You don’t have to turn repeater plates in on export in NL. Only the regular plates.

If AI is truly an intelligence

And as of 2025 and the foreseeable future, that is where that argument ends.

I am not a Luddite.

doG, I can so relate to this.

The opposition (politically or socially, conversationally) will always try to put you in the extreme opposite corner of whatever they oppose about you. Be it “socialist dreamer” instead of real market economy with social policy, or this. What happened to meeting in the middle? It seems online polarization has made it into our everyday minds.

I didn’t! Had to look up online compass that had degrees on it.

But it doesn’t surprise me that any company’s PR guys would come up with things like that.

It’s named after three mills that were originally situated on the island. They were run by scandinavians which might explain why the name got mangled to Three Miles. Also, the power plant originally had only three towers.

Damn. I’m a little skeptical of the bird’s perfect outline, but this is - unfortunately - a totally realistic scenario. They can hit the glass with such speed that they don’t survive.

FWIW, I recently watched a debunk of a creationist video and they complained about the same thing, while showing footage of one of the few real skeletons 🤦

Dinosaurs were real. We find their bones all the time. You can imagine that they’re not in pristine condition, considering their age. We classify them and mull over them together. We build reconstructions. Some contain mainly real bones. Others don’t. They are still of educational value.

The fastest spinning animal: 22,000rpm!!!

How about 225° airlines?

TIL: B-52s because of the hairdos that looked like airplane nose cones. Fred Schneider said it.

They were so hot in 1979. Even the studio album. Can’t imagine having seem them live.

Unfortunately I just cannot listen to or watch Yoko Ono, and her reminiscing with Kate Pierson in what I assume are the 90s is just sad.

edit: I’m not “disparaging” Ono. Sheesh. And the interview makes me sad for Kate Pierson just as much.

Critical of bots? Yes. Among other things.

huh!
