  • ICE is using Palantir data to target neighborhoods, which is purchased directly from "advertising" data brokers. So "advertising" is only part of the story. It's always been about creating a surveillance state, it's just not evenly distributed.

  • I usually miss the tiny text that says "includes a side" and then I panic when I need to make a decision while the waiter lists off all 14 sides including something incomprehensible like "Tato Dunklets" and I have to ask them what that is even though everyone else knows that's what the place is known for and now I'm the idiot that is taking forever to order and keeping everyone from their dunklets or whatever.

  • When I was a kid I used to say to my dad "Dad" and he would go "Yes sir Michael Caine" and I would just open my mouth and point in it and wait for him to pour beans in there.

  • Normies wouldn't know what to do with winget anyway. Somehow installing random executables downloaded from a browser is still considered 'easier' than using a package manager.

  • What's you favourite movie with big plot-holes?

    Jump

  • I like the fan theory that they aren't aliens at all, they are demons. The broadcast at the end that reveals their vulnerability is cut off and nothing ever definitively points to them being extraterrestrial. In this theory they aren't weak to water itself, but holy water which had been inadvertently blessed by the dad who used to be a priest (a bit of a stretch but if I remember right I think we see him mouthing a prayer at one point).

    I don't think that was the intent but if you rewatch the movie with this in mind it's a pretty interesting way of explaining some inconsistencies in the film.

  • Winget is still playing catch-up in my experience. Microsoft's own office365 winget package is broken constantly.

  • Senators count the shady ways data centers pass energy costs on to Americans

  • The fact that industrial and commercial use pays lower rates than people trying to live their lives and heat their home is such bullshit.

  • Seeing how much they've advanced over recent years I can't imagine whatever that guy was working on would actually impress anyone today.

  • LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash

    Jump

  • I just set up a rule on my firewall to disallow outgoing web traffic from my TV so I can still control it over the wifi. Then if I want to sell it I haven't broken any functionality.

  • How does the Steam Deck handle other distros / recommendations?

    Jump

  • Bazzite is immutable but uses rpm-ostree which means you can install basically any yum/dnf system packages and have them persist. It should be used sparingly but it's much more flexible than SteamOS because of it. I customize my own Bazzite-Gnome image to layer in a few packages but I'd consider that pretty advanced.

  • I assume it's because they are using performance capture for all the facial animations.

  • I played the demo and it was pretty fun. I'll have to check this out.

  • My wife leaves the room, comes back in pajamas, and then falls asleep in the middle of the social event until people figure out that it's time to leave.

  • I went to a grocery store in the morning that I normally go to at night and they had dimmed lights, soft music, as well as no sounds coming from the cash registers

  • This used to work for me but unfortunately at least two places I haven't been able to figure out any button combination that mutes them which has been infuriating.

  • The gas pumps that blast ads at you are driving me insane. All of the places in between my house and my work have them now.

  • Syncing notes across computers from central server?

    Jump

  • What do you mean by 'desyncing' issues. I use Syncthing very heavily across my servers and workstations and I don't have any trouble. I run my own Syncthing relay server for NAT traversal.
