I’m a technically savvy but new to Linux user who installed Mint as my primary OS about a month ago. So far I’ve used Flatpaks and AppImages without any issue and haven’t come across snaps. Would you explain the differences and why I would care about one over another?

To be fair, most of the CIA was on an awful lot of LSD around that time.

They think he owned her with the “I’m talking now” line.

For fuck’s sake that’s HER LINE that she said FOUR YEARS AGO, they aren’t even capable of making their own jokes now? Even the insults have to be ripped off secondhand bullshit? Donald is proving himself highly incapable of actually having an independent thought. I’ve always thought he was pretty dumb, but, just, damn. There really is nothing in there, huh?

Well said, I like that.

Thing is, you never have any clue whether the AI is telling you something even remotely true unless you go behind it and trawl through six pages of shitty SEO-optimized bullshit anyway. So you can either take its word at face value and potentially be completely wrong, or else just do the research yourself anyway and ignore the AI answer.

Personally, I choose the second. I find it to be less frustrating if I just assume the AI is wrong.

Even if you want a ring, we got wooden rings. Cost like $100 for some really nice ones with fire opal inlay from an online craftsman. I’ve already cracked mine a little by being a dumbass with heavy car parts so I’m just ordering another. It’s cheap, and on top of that if I had dropped a brake rotor onto a gold or metal ring it might have gotten flattened and trapped on my finger. The wood just cracked a little and flexed right back into its original shape.

If I had a lathe and some motivation I could even make my own, but I’m happy paying the relatively modest price of a single Benjamin for a well crafted ring with inlay.

The article states nothing about this and has no images implying it.

I was going to say this already after reading, but getting to your last couple lines really reinforced it - hey, you’re good people, thanks for weighing in where you do. I see quite a lot of your posts in my daily browsing and they’re almost exclusively all long-form well thought out responses like this one. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you have a bad take about anything. I greatly respect your life experience and your opinions, they mirror a lot of what I’ve seen myself in the world as a generally curious soul.

Just wanted to say that. I’ve scrolled past enough of your comments where I wanted to add a quick “hey, thanks for this” but it wouldn’t add anything to the conversation. This time is no different except that I’ve reached a limit of not acknowledging it out loud where I’m starting to feel bad every time I do so. Thank you for your contributions to our communities.

We’ll probably never meet, but if we did, I think I’d like to buy you a beer.

I’d be surprised if that’s still what it says. They have the edit history, they could roll it back whenever.

I guarantee with 100% certainty that that isn’t what they’re feeding into their AI, as well. You just planted a great big flagpole on all your old content that states “this account was previously run by a real live human” and probably doubled the value of the edited comments for AI training. Bots don’t have a reason to protest-edit their content.

I approve of the attitude, but spez has got us in a vice here where any attempt to damage reddit’s data store is actually just helping them. Best thing to do at this point is to scrub them from memory and just ignore them forever. Unless you’re up for some seriously large-scale corporate sabotage, that’s the best we’ve got.

Because it isn’t profitable right now. The first time you see someone successfully mine an asteroid, or sell property on the moon, is when you’ll see the space race explode again. Until then there’s not really any money out there.

They get told what to feel every night on the Fox Lies channel, they hardly need the projection. Don’t worry, Daddy Tucker will command you, just do what you’re told, like a big strong man.

How could I? He tells me constantly. Insists upon it in fact.

Uh, Russia will be too broke to continue funding their war offensive in Ukraine, and then if they try to continue it anyway they’ll be too broke to continue functioning as a nation. That’s kind of the point of sanctions. Did you read the article?

Payment scuffles between Russian companies and Chinese banks have escalated in recent weeks, with nearly all Chinese banks stopping transactions with Russia. Some banks have even returned payments for goods that had already been sent to Russia, out of fear of being targeted by sanctions, a Russian media outlet reported.

Drop the war, investors return, everyone is happy. If they want to continue the war they better start checking their couch cushions for rubles. That’s what the sanctions are for, that’s what they do. It’s a lever to pull to convince Putin to back off his warmongering without resorting to direct violence against Moscow and, undoubtedly, innocents caught up in it.

In my circles “Trump card” has evolved to mean the exact opposite of what it used to. It used to mean “the one move that guarantees your win”, now it means “the move that guarantees your loss”.

China is pulling all their funding from Russia due to sanctions. That’s the article we’re in the comments of.

Metroid Fusion was a banger. I didn’t even own a Gameboy, but my friend did, and I would trade him half my allowance every week to let me borrow it over the weekend. Many many nights were spent up late under the covers exploring BSL Station.

Sounds like a pretty open and shut lawsuit, then.

Just… throw it on the pile with the rest of them, I guess.

Yeah I’ve never had this issue with Android, not least of which is because you’re able to just root it and install whatever ROM/OS you want. If Google pushes an unstable update just wipe that shit and put Lineage on it.

Apple only gets away with it because they put their users in a walled garden where you have no choice but to receive Apple’s updates on their timeframe. I quit that life in 2006 when they updated my iPod Touch into uselessness and haven’t come across the problem again since switching to Android.
