Hate on the politicians not moving, not on those moving too slow for your liking. This shit is why you have Trumpaloompa now.

Mastodon has a very singular type of user and circle jerk communities. Maybe it’ll grow out of its tweeny phase some day. But until then, it will only attract more of the same crowd. Much to its detriment.

Without the Meta layer (which you can just not install), the basic smart RayBans are actually pretty nice. The audio is pretty good and it works with any other assistant you may have configured. I wish they had a version without the camera.

Tbf, this holds true for any accessory, from chairs to computer cases: Anything branded as “gaming” is usually mid quality at a premium price.

is there are policy responsible for this?

Probably just a result of the snow. No way any policies got implemented that fast.

Mobile phones and apps did it. They let boomers poke and swipe their way into platforms while taking a dump in a volume that Apple alone could never have managed.

Honestly: “Journalist discovers Apple product still functions properly after 10 years” sounds like a headline to me.

It’s not even about missing a piece anymore as much as wilfully holding it upside down.

Linux is like the Star Citizen of operating systems: There are people who see the potential and trust things will be fixed. And there’s the people who have been around for a while.

Nah, that’s America. Children as young as five and two years old, some sick and all without parents, have been abducted for months all over the US and all comments were mostly about hurrdurr-conservative-values. Things only got really heated when two white people got shot. People are only in it for themselves.

LARPing valuable insight is the least amount of action that people can put in while feeling they contributed something. “Oooh, look at them. Now someone else do something about it!”

Someone inside law enforcement called it “An exodus of morality” that was going on across all agencies.

Ah, the good ol’ “Why are they not doing anything about this”.

Troompa Loompa doo-ba-dee-doo, I’ve got a briefing just for you. Troompa Loompa doo-ba-dee-dee, Guess who forgot about diplomacy?

What do you get when you govern by tweet? Policy swings that can’t stand on two feet. Blame goes flying in every direction, While facts get lost in the news correction!

You’ll get no… grown-up debate, Just vibes and polls and culture war bait. Why not try… something brand new? Like telling the truth—too radical for you?

Troompa Loompa doo-ba-dee-done, Can’t name a win, but they sure spin one. Troompa Loompa doom and despair, Try finding a budget—if you dare!

How do they cope with a crisis or two? By holding a hearing and blaming a few. If something breaks, just shrug and say, “Let’s ban books or TikTok today!”

They don’t want… nuance or plans, Just memes and PACs and high-fives from fans. If you’re wise, you’ll listen to me: Don’t run the country like reality TV.

Troompa Loompa doo-ba-dee-dough, Good luck, America—enjoy the show!

I don’t understand why this is such a big deal. There is no huge open source scene for regular printers. Because it’s a tool, not a hobby. People want a print on paper and move on. This gatekeeping gotta go: It’s holding 3D printing back. Bambu did for 3D printing what Apple did for mobile phones: They made 3D printing clean, simple and easy. If you want to fiddle around with custom firmware and usability hacks and cobbled together components, power to you. I’ll be over here, actually printing things.

What now?

They are not changing anything. They are warning the customer import charges wil incur if the purchase proceeds. They gain nothing and stand to lose a sale.

The old internet was hidden behind dial-up modems and TCP-IP stacks and weird telnet and usenet protocols. This complexity worked as a filter and the people using it were mostly academics, students, techies and other nerds (me amongst them). The moment uncle Bob could poke his way through social media on his phone from the shitter, the whole thing cascaded into Eternal September and “the old internet” was lost forever.
