The real trouble starts when you hit the two rocks together.

Maybe it’s also American to understand I was expressing shame at being heinous, I dunno.

Secretary of Education - that would be Linda McMahon: politician, business executive, and former professional wrestling promoter.

Jesus Fucking Christ no wonder the world laughs at us. “You want I should teach dem skools a lesson, boss?”

Trump “saving” America from anything is pure fantasy true, and yet he got elected - TWICE. The fantasy of idiocracy is reality. Make people desperate enough for work by gutting minimum wage, Medicare, and everything else MAGA plans to do to create a feudal system, and the US becomes a cheap labor source to sell US-made iPhones and all kinds of other shit abroad. Either get used to that reality or figure out what to do about it.

How surprising is this really, considering we’re still paying COVID-inflated prices for most things after COVID came and went, and was gone, and is still gone, and it’s a couple years later and it’s fucking gone.

Moving to 32 hrs on paper and really expecting 60, instead of 40 on paper and really expecting 60.That’s a bold move, Cotton.

Just checking back after 3 months… it’s nice to see improvement. There’s still some sociopolitical crap, and one item about reddit’s stock tanking - how TF is that even tech-adjacent? But overall lots more threads about actual technology than last time I took a hard look. Nice!

To me “next generation” and propellers just don’t mix, but I know nothing. Just want my jetpack.

This schedule is ludicrous even if they cut all the Agile meetings in half and skip Sprint Grooming altogether.

I think “near ideal conditions” is a huge exaggeration. The situations Waymo avoids are a small fraction of the total mileage driven by Waymo vehicles or the humans they’re being compared with. It’s like you’re saying a football team’s stats are grossly wrong if they don’t include punt returns.

We always knew good quality self-driving tech would vastly outperform human skill. It’s nice to see some decent metrics!

TIL becoming dependent on a tool you frequently use is “something bizarre” - not the ordinary, unsurprising result you would expect with common sense.

I wouldn’t call losing settings a little annoyance, I’d call it “Who the Fuck tested this???” [literally what Bill Gates said when some software was demo’d to him by my group at MS Research back in the 90s LOL. I remember the test lead was pissed because devs had actually added code that had not been tested yet cuz they were so eager to show it to Bill. Good times!]

MAGA Administration Secure Communication Assessment Procedure:

1. Are you Hillary Clinton?
   ☐ Yes    ☐ No

If No, discontinue assessment and do whatever the fuck you want.

Yeah I just thought the two-click bug on the Max app might be specific to Roku, the way some browser glitches only happen on one OS. Having to click twice is such an obvious bug, it’s like did anybody even tested this?

Anybody notice the Max app on roku requires clicking twice to pause and then twice to unpause? Very odd and annoying glitch or feature.

I noticed the Moana background a couple days ago and thought it looked very nice. But to me it didn’t seem like it was “playing” an add, in the sense that there wasn’t a noticeable wait time before the remote worked. Checked again just now and it’s gone back to a plain gray background.

+1 Insightful

To me it’s weird to even think of repairing stuff you buy as a “right” - that’s a given. The issue is the nonexistent “right” of a seller to restrict what a customer does with a product after buying it. That’s as ridiculous as a shoe company trying to dictate where you can or can’t walk. It’s a no-brainer, and should never have to be argued in court or anywhere else.

Thought provoking!
