It would be cool to see the Steam Deck model turned into a wider model for selling gaming PCs in different formats. A higher powered "Steam Deck" that looks and feels like a console but works internally like a PC, gives root access, can support any PC hardware, allows for upgrades and repairs, etc.

Exactly. "Capitalism could use a new coat of paint."

He was receiving an honorary degree from Duke and spoke at the commencement.

Does the Pope shit in the woods?

iirc, you install it via an extension. It's simple enough. I just love the feature.

I still remember having to operate on their old desktops with the snap-down clamshell design. Infuriating.

The graybeard would send you /home with a quick one liner.

I think container tabs, which is currently an official Mozilla extension, should be native.

Even calling it an underdog story kind of betrays the truth that they did not expect to win, contrary to their claims that a loss would prove a rigged election.

To split some hairs, I'm not trans, but I'm all in favor of trans rights. If I take action in favor of trans rights, I'm a "trans rights activist", but not a "trans activist".

So the church was homophobic a decade ago and then fought to protect their legal right to make an example of that homophobia to the children they're supposed to be stewarding into the world for a full decade and now rest their case on homophobia... "Why are our attendance numbers dropping? Could it be that we're completely out of touch with reality? No, it's reality that is wrong."

Can we please call this the "Tina Peters Defense"?

I think the connotation is that a Muppet is controlled by someone else. Their every thought, word, and action is the intent of their handlers.

I had that scene with the prostitutes from Fargo in my mind.

There's a trust issue here as well since AI only works if you train it and we are training it with our activity, reported to private companies who can do whatever they please with it. I don't trust anything Microsoft does.

It also encourages you to shop at, say, Kroger rather than Safeway.

Yeah, like where is the example of such abuse? Is this not the first such prosecution in American history? Seems absurd to me to suggest that there might be a problem of abuse, or that the criminal justice system doesn't already set a high enough standard for conviction generally, or that this case doesn't rise to a level of severity justifying prosecution.

I've never had rhubarb. I've heard it's sweet (people make pies out of it), but it looks like celery, which is one of my most hated foods. What does it actually taste like? Is it palatable raw?

There was an attempt by Twitter at one point to use "420 Enhance Your Calm" as a code to indicate you're being rate limited.

They don't want to pay out for expensive drugs. They can't be profitable if they pay for the healthcare your doctor prescribes for you.
