I'm with you. New mechanics? You can drive to the next course? Cool. Can't wait for the dlc where you get to wash your kart after the race is over too.

Maybe you got the ban so one of the moderator's cronies could post the same joke and reap all the karma for themselves!

Where the sweat and stupid blurs is just so apt. Nicely done.

Mr. Hutz we won!

We?

This point comes up a lot, but how does Photoshop survive? If chrome were split, Im sure they would find ways to make it work.

Corporate licensing would probably be the #1 way they could survive easily. The general public sees alternatives as "junk" to the main thing when it comes to tech. This, imo, is why Firefox is near death.

Now idk if the licensing route would be better or worse for us.

Your assumptions are poor. People sometimes ask because they are looking for advice from others. "What's your take on this", etc.

Plus, them asking lets others know something is possible they hadnt even thought to search for.

Nothing wrong with asking questions on sites centered around user discussions.

Donwvote and don't answer if you think they are asking in bad faith.

2. While also exponentially increasing the amount of good people becoming more aware of how broken parts of society are.

Let's hope good people continue to do good things in every way they are able.

Thank you everyone trying to make things better.

Just wanted to say thank you for writing this. Very cool take, that was so well written to get us on board for how and why "that old junk" has personality that is being lost.

Also

Damn.

Doubt it's not covered in EULA. Probably has something like

Company reserves the right to cancel your account for any reason, or without reason...

Does route calculation happen on device or on Google servers? Is it cheaper for Google to not show alternate routes?

That movie couldve been so much more...

Comments like this are just the definition of irony...

I also had screen tearing issues immediately on startup into the mint installer. Had to run the installer in safe mode to get mint going. Once mint was fully installed and rebooted to my desktop for the first time, had the same screen issues as I did with the installer not in safe mode. So mint only worked during install and only in safe mode.

Maybe our issues are similar (I'm Nvidia 1080 card), but I was never able to fix mine.

How's that strategy working out for you? For us?

Unfortunately "don't give them money" doesn't work. Bc commerce is global due to internet. There will always be uninformed buyers in every product space. And always buyers who don't care.

My solution, posts like this. We should be informing others of these practices and discussing ways to bypass, repair, or disable blocks and unintended behavior on the products and services we purchase.

The world is vastly more complex than it ever was before. I get it feels useless, but learning anything makes us smarter.

Being smarter means we will handle situations intelligently. There is no useless learning.

I was mostly curious those that want to abolish it what their alternative solution is.

Under popular vote, DeSantis is still running and maybe now he gets 63 billion votes from Florida alone. The impact of this fraud (there are not 63 billion ppl voting in Florida) is bigger with no electoral college.

Other countries don't have EC bc other counties don't have our state and government structure.

Yall do you. I'm not very political anyway.

Abolish electoral college is not the answer to these issues. Unless you have a new idea in mind. Electoral college is better than using popular vote. It helps prevent fraud from any one particular state.

It feels like none of the replies to you actually read your comment. I appreciate you taking the time to offer up possible explanations with examples. Thank you!

About a month ago i asked gpt to draw ascii art of a butterfly. This was before the google poem story broke. The response was a simple

But i was imagining ascii art in glorious bbs days of the 90s. So, i asked it to draw a more complex butterfly.

The second attempt gpt drew the top half of a complex butterfly perfectly as i imagined. But as it was drawing the torso, it just kept drawing, and drawing. Like a minute straight it was drawing torso. The longest torso ever... with no end in sight.

I felt a little funny letting it go on like that, so i pressed the stop button as it seemed irresponsible to just let it keep going.

I wonder what information that butterfly might've ended on if i let it continue...

And circus!
