Come to think of it, I don't know if I really FEEL empathy. Like, maybe I do, but it's hard to say. In my mind, it simply comes down to this: if something shitty happens to me, I know what it feels like. Likewise, I know that other people would feel the exact same way. So if something shitty happens to another human being, it's not necessarily that I FEEL something for them, so much that I can imagine how I would feel in that same situation.

Yeah, I remember being really interested in DVORAK when I was younger. But when it comes down to it, my typing speed is not really something that is holding back my productivity, so there is little benefit to be gained from switching.

Most search engines allow you to specify that other nearby airports are ok. For example, kayak has a toggle that can be enabled to include nearby airports.

But if all else fails, just take note of a few of the airports and search for them directly.

I don't really feel like going down the rabbit hole of trying a hundred different distros to maybe find one that works. My experiences with those two were that things were completely broken, randomly. Like just trying to boot the USB installer would lock up half the time, the installer itself would fail partway through most of the time, when things got fully installed, trying to update or install new things would just fail randomly. The kde desktop would crash just from me changing settings in the kde menus.

They are ranked number 3 and 13 on distro watch, so they are hardly unknown. And lots on Linux YouTubers were talking about how great they were.

My priorities are being able to run Davinci resolve and Steam games. Nobara ticks those boxes while advertising itself as user friendly. I have heard too many stories of people having trouble getting this stuff running on something like Linux mint, so I didn't go in that direction. I need to do more with my computer than just view web sites or write code.

A couple weeks ago I attempted to switch over to Linux. Tried installing both Cachyos and Nobara. It was kind of a shit show, nothing worked correctly, stuff was erroring out and crashing left and right, and after a couple days I gave up.

Today I went ahead and installed windows 11. There were some issues... It wouldn't recognize my CD key, and I accidentally wiped a partition from the wrong drive. But as for the os itself, I spent a few hours getting things set up, and it's not as horrible as I thought it would be. I was able to simply turn off most of the shit like copilot and recall, and all the advertisements, and I pretty much have it working as I want it to.

People want the Democrats to do SOMETHING, ANYTHING. This shows that he's at least willing to stand for something, and that goes a long way.

Looks like some of the biggest changes the series has ever seen. I'm excited for it, but like many others, not excited enough for the price they are asking right now.

I dunno, all I see on Roku is an image banner on the home screen. I never even look at it.

I don't think anyone is going to change their views over an Internet post or conversation. Maybe someone might come around on a particular topic if an argument really resonates with them, but someone changing their entire worldview can take years. But sure, I think it's possible given enough conversation and slight nudging over time, given they aren't being more radicalized by other content every day.

Yeah, normal YouTube is totally unwatchable. If you have a Roku device, the Playlet app can let you watch without ads. There are probably methods for other devices too.

I think a problem is that many jobs exist in the world, and we don't even know that most of them exist or what they are. If there are any really large companies near you, see if you can get in doing something, anything. Once you are in, you can learn about the different types of jobs in the company and maybe start trying to work towards something that you like better, either within that company or in another company. Also just having co-workers or a boss to discuss these things with can be a big help and open you up to some new possibilities that you didn't know about. But yeah, don't worry about finding your perfect job right away. Having any job will open doors and connections, making it easier to land that perfect job in the future.

Something to note about the DS lite is that they did tend to have issues with the plastic on the hinge cracking. It happened to mine, but I did play the heck out of it.

I used to use a gba flash cart on the ds lite, and it was essentially full compatibility aside from carts that had extra hardware built in.

Because they have only been dropping for the past month.

AI often gets painted as people vs businesses, but that's not necessarily what it is in many cases. The EFF is arguing for fair use, which is something that they have stood for as long as I can remember. As the article argues, the businesses creating AIs can easily abide by this law, it's the little guys training things that would be impacted the most.

Anyone have a link to the text of the bill?

Default names only.

I basically just learned it on the job, from examining some existing queries that we used and then messing around with it, and a few tutorials on the side.
