God damn you.
God damn you.
Never had a beer that I liked. There are some I can tolerate, but none of them are actually enjoyable. So I usually go for cocktails, either a gin and tonic or a Moscow mule.
Yeah, that’s a really weird way to finger a G major. I will play it with my second finger on the third fret of low E, first finger on the second fret of A, third finger barred across B and high E at third fret. If I’m playing a song that requires certain chord changes (like the way Wonderwall drops from G major to a G/F# to an Em7 to a Dsus to an A7sus) I will use third and fourth finger on the high strings instead of the barre because it’s easier to move the root notes around that way.
I am bisexual and somewhat poly. With some of my friends I have a more publicly physical/intimate relationship. We may hold hands, hug, or kiss. I’m private, we cuddle and… do other things as well. I imagine the straights of Lemmy will largely tell you they don’t cuddle their male friends while the queer folk will give a different answer.
I don’t want thinner. I want more functionality. Don’t expect me to pay 2 grand for a laptop with no external USB or HDMI ports, for which privileges I can pay an additional $100 or so. I’m frustrated enough by the lack of Ethernet jacks on my Lenovo. The last time I had a Mac (work shipped me one), I was even more frustrated by how bad the built in trackpad and keyboard were and the fact that using an external device to replace them came at a premium price.
The article quotes extensively from the study about this and gives examples regarding what kinds of tasks qualify for those levels.
There was a post here a while back about how younger generations often don’t understand concepts like file system structures because concepts like that (which are still relevant in a lot of contexts) have been largely stripped out of modern user interfaces. If your primary computing device is a cell phone, a task like “make a nested directory structure and move this file to the deepest part of it” is a foreign concept.
I guess my point here is that I agree with yours about this being cyclical in a sense. I feel crippled on a cell phone, but I’m also in my comfort zone on a Linux terminal. Using web apps like MS Teams is often difficult for me because their UIs are not things I’m comfortable with. I don’t tend to like default layouts and also tend to use advanced features which are usually hidden away behind a few menus. Tools built to meet my needs specifically would largely not meet the needs of most users. A Level 1 user would probably have a better experience there than a Level 3 like me. It’s hard (maybe impossible) to do UX design that satisfies everyone.
I did this swap recently as well, on Fedora. I had to do literally nothing, as the drivers were already available and installed. I uninstalled akmod-nvidia to tidy up, but I suppose even that wasn’t strictly required.
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.
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.
I did the same thing. It’s one of the cheapest upgrades you can get for a PC, but Apple will charge triple the actual cost to maximize profits.
Since the act of writing to an SSD is an act of wear that will eventually lead to a broken storage device, using an SSD for swap is a uniquely bad idea, right? Are Macs still designed so that you can’t replace your own hardware easily? I’ve never owned one, but I was asked to service one many years ago and it was a real pain.
I really like watching Sam Alvey win because of how stupid happy he gets. It’s fun and infectious. Problem is he hasn’t won a fight in ages. When you see him on a card you know it’s filler material. He’s been hit in the head so many times he’s become a company man.
You mean Eeeeyyiiidiot Wind? Yeah, love that track.
Yeah I just familiarize myself with the city I live in.
They have a Whataburger there, so there’s that.
Mine uses SMS 2FA AND had a 16-character password limit. I need to switch banks already. Any suggestions for a decent bank or credit union that uses modern password cryptography and app-based TOTP?
The largest I’ve passed was about 4mm. It’s the most painful thing I’ve ever felt, and it took weeks to work its way through, even with the Flomax. Crying, moaning, writhing on the bed in pain, pissing blood. Malicious looking little thing. Looked like the ball on the end of a morning star. I passed two of those at once one time.
Do we know they delete the data when you do that? A lot of software is designed to “soft delete” data, where you mark the record with a “deleted” flag that excludes it from future queries. This data still lingers in the database and would still be accessible by anyone who can bypass the application logic, such as someone with a direct DB connection and read privileges.
Krull (1983) is an all time favorite of mine. It’s the most D&D plot you’ve ever seen coupled with beautiful cinematography and a great score by James Horner.
