Your choice was Jill Stein who shows up every four years to siphon money and attention from effective leftist movements and doing shit all in between. Not organizing, not trying to get green candidates elected to Congress or even state assemblies, not collecting signatures for citizens ballot initiatives to end fptp, nothing. All she does is collect donations for recounts in blue states that never happen and have dinner with Putin.

You voted for a grifter who promised you what you wanted while robbing you of your ability to ever have it.

Thankfully we can bypass the politicians and implement a better voting system via citizen ballot initiatives in most states. Maine and Alaska have already adopted ranked choice voting via ballot initiatives.

I agree, it has nice songs and I always love listening to Dana Snyder be grouchy.

This is the entire premise of The Ghost and Molly McGee.

I’m still waiting for that Metroid game that was supposed to be on it.

Metroid Dread came out a while ago.

You could just buy a utensil crock and never have to worry about it again.

Also box graters go in a cabinet, if you don’t have cabinet space and need to keep it in a drawer then get a flat grater (it’s not like you use the other sides of the box grater anyway).

I just want to note that “Implement Unity” includes the substep of “use C# to generate C++”.

The Marvels served the role of a TV-Movie for the Ms. Marvel series, they should have had it straight to Disney plus with a modest budget. Several of these smaller marvel movies/shows probably might have been better off with lower budgets. Not everything needs to be a homegoenous tentpole and by trying to force it, Disney is just setting expectations too high and burning money disappointing a large audience when they could have been entertaining a smaller audience.

Cloud is way worse than server in my experience. Server was only bad because it was usually configured poorly and IT would never give admins to anyone who actually needed it. Cloud is bad because it’s slow as hell and can’t be configured correctly because the ability to configure it correctly has been sitting in “Gathering Interest” on Atlassian’s issue tracker for two years despite thousands of votes and comments.

There’s still Jira Data Center but nobody wants to pay extra for it so instead we have to deal the the garbage that is Cloud.

Both the Street Sharks and the Biker Mice from Mars feel pretty imaginary.

I have the same issue with my switch, I usually mash the button for its port on my receiver remote until the other devices give up but about 10% of the time that refuses to work and I have to redock.

Thinking quickly, Generative AI constructs a playable version of Doom, using only some string, a squirrel, and a playable version of Doom.

That’s pretty fitting with Gen-X’s reputation of being the generation that gave up on having influence on the state of the world. As a millennial constantly stressing about the impact I’m having on things, that sometimes sounds like a really sensible choice.

Disagree, without IP laws whoever has the most money can crush all competition. An example of this is how the first pump hand soap softsoap couldn’t patent the hand pump design because it already existed so they just bought all the existing stock to prevent anyone from releasing a competing product.

If you get rid of IP laws you’ll just further entrench the existing winners.

Write a good book? Without copyright, Penguin random house publishes an exact copy at a higher quality and sells a million copies while you sell a handful to discerning fans.

Build a quality product? Without trademark, proctor and gamble flood the market using your brand name and nobody can distinguish their products from yours even though their quality is much worse.

Invent something revolutionary? Without patents you have to keep your process a secret so you don’t get copied. If you get hit by a bus your invention is now lost to society forever unless someone manages to reverse-engineee it.

Not before abolishing capitalism or you’re just making things worse.

Well TIL.

profound misunderstanding of how surround sound worked

You got me, I didn’t know anyone who even owned a surround sound setup in the gamecube era.

That came out on GameCube back when we were all still using composite cables that didn’t support surround anyway.

Edit: Apparently I was misinformed, still KAR was such a casual arcadey game that I’m sure it got more benefit out of quick startup than it would have from surround support.

Voidtools “Everything” is how we mimic a fraction of your power thank-you-very-much.

The leak didn’t include phone numbers or emails but I’m sure there will be attempts at spear phishing businesses since they can figure out the business name from the physical address.
