I dunno I actually have my doubts Trump makes it onto the ballot. His petitions for delay will not stand and he will be indisposed for the presidential run and the GOP knows it. They are already grooming new candidates.

It’s an extremely red state worth 11 votes which has made it a pivotal state to win for Republicans for over 30 years

Federation basically just means your instance will scrape Meta in turn and serve their content to you, whereas being defederated it will not. That means federated or no, without additional precautions by admins of particular instances, Meta will be getting the same info federated or no. Being defederated makes interacting with Meta’s service much less likely though, which makes them scraping your data less likely. This update to the ToS honestly just sort of describes how the fediverse works anyway this isn’t some special feature of Threads, all instances behave this way.

Nintendo ‘deconfirmed’ it because that would be sad and they don’t want to publically say “yes Majoras Mask is a sad.” Doesn’t fit the brand. That being said, Majoras Mask is about grief. The lead Dev lost his daughter right before production, whether it was intended or not the game is absolutely chock a block with this constant repeating theme and it’s why the game is special.

Man trench runs and holographic museums seem cool as hell.

Starfield, Baldurs Gate 3, Payday 3, Lies of P, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, Harvest Moon, and a few others that other people are probably hyped for (Madden, ETC)

Yes but there are in fact already options for business AR fields and HUDs as well which run cheaper price wise and likely are more performant and work with more architectures so this really feels like Apple just trying to grasp at what market share they can before they miss their chance. It’s not revolutionary, it’s just an Apple Hololense. Who cares.

Yes because even though doing it can get you put on the no fly list because they can just put whoever they want on the no fly list, it still isn’t illegal and as other commentors have pointed out all airlines need do to end skiplagging is structure their pricing differently and they will not.

Okay edge straddler so the algorithm chooses your spouse now? So when you google search for nearby restaurants that’s an algorithm deciding your life for you? Do you click every ad that AdSense serves up? Unfortunately, we all still have to deal with the immense burden of free will.

I agree with pretty much your entire shpiel except that all this HD video streaming is the direct cause of the ad supported internet. You think if YouTube had never done it’s business all over the internet we’d just have unobtrusive banner ads advertising porn or other web services still??? The internet could still be bulletin boards and geocities fansites in 2023 but the ads would look exactly the same.

“intuitiveness is objective and measurable” is such a hilarious thing to say. Like yes it’s possible to measure how quickly people can come to understand an app but to say that, therefore, we have an objective understanding of ‘intuitiveness’ and can say “Hamburger menu instead of kebab menu here??? That is O B J E C T I V E L Y unintuitive” is sooo fucking silly.

We as a society and our tax dollars have very little influence on the lives of prisoners as the ownership and management of most prisons is done by for profit companies. So it’s just the regular capitalist fuckheads putting dollars before humanity.

Well not really, but the courts put the burden of evidence on the worker usually so corps often get away with it. In this case they at least had to pay damages I guess. This issue with reluctance to close lines and address safety concerns because it hurts the bottom line for investors and management is really atrocious though and has been going on for nearly 15 years now. Last summer a BNSF railroad bridge was knocked down by the river and then that same bridge traveled downstream and knocked out a second bridge. They assured us that all bridges would be inspected so that even in high flow situations they won’t fall down. This year another one went in and the river didn’t even get close to pushing the kind of water it pushed last year. I can only assume they didn’t do a fucking thing, or their inspection criteria is woefully inadequate.

The popularity of WhatsApp is /why/ WhatsApp is popular. That’s just kind of how it works with messaging apps. The only reason anyone has WhatsApp is because someone they wanted or needed to talk to was using WhatsApp.

A lot of people. Spicy Tuna, Spicy Mayo, and many other things that are sushi menu staples include it as a main ingredient.

No distributors can get me actual rooster sauce right now. I had a palette of it when the shortage started but those days are over and now all I can get is the knock off stuff. It’s too vinegary. I sell sushi for context it’s not a personal use issue.

There’s no “Shape” tool. You could just select a circular area in an empty layer and fill it though.

What! I mean, yes, it is pretty unproductive. But occasionally, incredibly rarely, debating taste leads to a phenomenal new innovation, some new understanding. Just not among non-chefs I guess

Dream mod for me, so jealous. Congratulations!

Yeah exactly it’s projection. This is how they would react, so they assume the same of aethiests. The reality is we would talk to our kids. Inconceivable to them.
