I guess falcon or an eagle or a hawk. Since I get to retain my intelligence it is my one and only opportunity to truly fly.

Have to agree. Because I have no clue what CSAM is. My first glance at the title made me think it was CSPAN (the TV channel)... So CP is better identifier, as of at least recognize the initialism.

If we could stop turning everything, and especially important things, into acronyms and initialisms that'd be great.

It's got good cinematics.

But remember folks do not pre-order.

So a bunch of people have already said about using the ethernet adapter. Which is exactly what I would say.

But for argument sake and for people who are using the switch lite, get yourself a Wi-Fi analyzer. Like this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vrem.wifianalyzer

You're living in the countryside you shouldn't have a lot of EMI. Could be just poor signal. The analyzer will help you visualize what the Wi-Fi is where the switch is.

Of course this is all assuming that the problem is on your side of the connection and not from your ISP.

We find out if coffee can be found in a nebula.

A single up vote seems inadequate for the amount of work you put in. But it is all that I have to offer.

Modern Batman and Modern Superman.

I won't go on my 2 hour rant off everything wrong. But a short version is the writing for them is lazy and undeveloped. Both of them represent the most uninteresting form of a power fantasy. The modern Batman of 'having a plan for everything' and being this overburden angsty character is just awful. If Batman was a d&d character, he has loaded dice and is throwing that 20s on intimidation. And for Superman he's just not interesting, because with the amount of power he's been given and the amount of abilities he has the fact that lex luthor is somehow a villain of his is laughable.

Batman used to be the world's greatest detective. And for me the last time I saw Batman be Batman was the '90s animated series. And frankly the most recent movie The Batman also did a very good job I thought in that regard.

Superman used to have limits. He was fast but not infinite speed fast. He was strong but not infinite strength.

In both cases it feels like the people who write for these characters use one simple rule... This my favorite character so he win. Neither character feels like their struggles are earned, because the writing is forced. Like it used to be if Superman needed to save somebody you weren't 100% sure he'd be able to get there in time, stop the bad guy save the people! Modern Superman is like, a being a hundred light years away, tripped and their falling! They need your help before they get a boo-boo and I have no doubt Superman would get there somehow and then save a hundred worlds along the way. (An over-exaggeration I know but I want to get the point across at how lazy I feel the writing is). Or the fact that anybody fears Batman when most of his villains barely fear him. You have members like Green lantern, Martian manhunter, Superman, and Wonder woman who act like in any way Batman is a threat to them.

I'll stop ranting cuz I can honestly go on. But I will say with the massive decline for me personally with these two, I've been far more receptive of some of the other DC characters that I used to overlook when I was younger. I can't believe I 100% slept on the flash like that dude is straight boss. Or plastic man! So at least some good came of it.

Because you're trying to push a different narrative. You're justifying it because of what I ended it with and I was right. If I'm wrong in my conclusion feel free to drop an actual conclusion... Or enlighten people what they were supposed to take from your comment. Because you reduced it down to a point I made...

I'm really curious what your plan was going to be if you found that comment in the negative but I hadn't made that comment about I'm going to be downvoted because I don't fit the narrative what was your plan? You're digging through my post history so you clearly have a plan a reason.

So I have to edit this because I thought you found a wrong comment cuz you said negative two and last I saw it was way lower negative two.

And it really does still point out, you included, that people just don't care if a guy is the victim. You sound out to judge me, to discredit me.

I imagine a bunch of people dress as green arrow running around yelling "YOU'VE FAILED THIS CITY" and I'm not entirely opposed to it.

I want to put out there, that as a man I shared my story... And I was down voted and disrespected.

So you can probably remove 'for women' in the title. Lemmy is very much an echo chamber. You don't have to look around very hard to see that there's a large amount of intolerance on Lemmy.

Voulez-vous une baguette?

Would you like a baguette?

(I use Google translate so if it's bad don't blame me)

He's always been incompetent. He was fired from PayPal for that very reason. He's used his parents emerald business money to fabricate a career. He's paid his way into being the engineer he clearly idolized but couldn't actually earn himself. He bought Tesla, he bought Twitter, the "HyperLoop" was a hundred year old idea called a vac-train. Even the biggest selling point for SpaceX, were just plans NASA had decades ago but the technology didn't exist at the time to pull it off. I mean the Boring Company... we've been successfully digging subway tunnels for a long time... the London Underground opened in 1863. New York had theirs in 1904. Elon in 2018 debuted a claustrophobic tunnel that was less than 2 miles long...

If it wasn't for daddy's money, he would have been a nobody. But he bought his way into some sort of 'relevance' and has conned a lot of people who don't understand science out of a lot of money. His greatest accomplishment is being a great conman.

If you go to a McDonalds you know exactly what you’ll get

A poorly put together "meal" that very likely has been sitting under a heater for a length of time unless you went there when it was busy. And if it was busy, the chance for mistake is high and it's going to be sloppily put together. What so you can save a few minutes? Most places do take-away... so you call them, place an order, pick it up. No sitting 10-20 minutes in drive-thru. And you got more food, better food, for the exact same price and you probably got it faster on take-out. And dining in... you wait a few minutes... how do you not have a few minutes?

And who actually cares about familiarity? That's either saying, you go to that one place way to much and your food choices are predictable and boring. Or you're highly susceptible to advertising. And really, those two things aren't mutually exclusive.

Completely agree. I haven't met a single person that has genuinely liked it. But they feel compelled to use it and speak highly of it because it's what you do in the industry. And a lot of the people that do keep pushing for it keep acting like it's going to be the single solution that fixes everything somehow magically...

And I don't know about you, but I know an excessive number of people it seem to think that if you want to idempotent then it has to be ansible... As if suggesting that it's impossible to be idempotent by any other means.

It's this sexist statement still being made? Cool, cool, cool... I mean it's not actually, but here we are with this crap still being said.

They THINK they live in a dangerous place. What they don't understand is it's technically true. They are the danger to the neighborhood.
