Our taxes should be paid directly to Musk instead of going through the government.

You don’t think it’s more to do with his proximity to power?

If it makes you feel any better, this happens in the UK, too.

That did make me feel better, thanks! 😃

I’m betting hard that microplastics are actually good for us

Isn’t she the one who wrote homophobic stuff on her blog and then tried to pretend she didn’t like we’re all stupid?

Plenty of easy solutions. I’m not here to tell anyone their preferences are invalid but I personally don’t consider the lack of a headphone jack to be a deal breaker when there are easy solutions.

Yeah, I wonder what might might cause the American people to be inured to crime and violence. We see oligarchs making a mockery of the law almost constantly, not to even mention the ridiculous appeals to “rules based international order” abroad.

I definitely wouldn’t stop working, but I would have more flexibility to try things like taking a risk on something entrepreneurial or choosing to work in a field that aligns with my values, salary be damned. That cannot be allowed.

Any measure that reduces the leverage employers have over labor will not be simply given to us. People fought and died to get what little control we have, and it’s been whittled away for decades.

I take downvotes as an admission of guilt to my observations, thanks.

That’s not a very reliable way to determine that. Might as well admit something like “I take the shape of the tea leaves to mean that I am correct.”

Agreed. It’s touch optimized, not mouse and keyboard. That’s not a criticism!

I love Voyager on mobile but feel constrained by it on desktop. (It reminds me of using Gnome, which is not my personal preference.)

On a related note, is anyone working on a CEO assassination simulator?

Interesting, every example people have given you in response is pretty weak. (I’m not saying I agree with Nintendo have any exclusive claim here.)

This is just motivated reasoning. Someone thinking “Oh no, I look kinda like that guy! I’m fucked!” seems incredibly far-fetched to me.

By the time I got it I think most of the driver issues had been ironed out. I did have some trouble with a couple of games running on Linux with Proton, but those same games worked fine on Windows. I think there are some kinks to work out still with dxvk. It is possible that I just never tried one of these problematic games, though.

Just like on Reddit, that depends on the moderators of the sub/com. It really couldn’t work any other way. .world seems to often err on the side of being inoffensive for the sake of broader appeal. (And probably also not getting in hot water with their hosting partners, acquaintances, etc.)

I wonder if/hope they will release a 16 GB model like the A770. I got one of those on ebay for $180 on a lark and it’s really not bad. I put it in a dedicated media/gaming PC connected to my TV.

It’s hard to imagine Trump riding a bike.

The health insurance industry is an abomination. It’s completely across the purpose of keeping a population healthy to try to extract and concentrate wealth out of the process, and they’re dug in like a tick.
