Noxy

I see at least one knotted toy in that picture. Nice.

Sounds like ThinkPads

I got like $50 from an Apple settlement a month or two ago

One of the drivers mentioned in this article has a youtube video showing his odometer going from 124,999 to 125,001, completely skipping 125,000. One of the comments asks him to reach out to the law firm handling the class action lawsuit, but the owner replies with:

Happy to help if you’re interested in paying a consultation fee for my time-- but otherwise these actions only enrich the law firms and I’m not volunteering to do that.

This mindset is so frustrating. Class action lawsuits are legit, they hold companies accountable and they pay out cash to people. To say that they only enrich law firms is not just wrong, but I think actually harmful to repeat like he has, especially in the great age of enshittification where everything tries to force binding arbitration agreements into every contract and agreement.

I am so glad the image went the same place my mind went

now go enjoy this brilliant parody, “I Can Only Count to Four”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8ccGjar4Es

That’s neat, but if they’re still prone to stick drift and if they aren’t free replacements (looks like $20 apiece, that’s a bit insane) then that doesn’t really improve the situation

Oh that’s good to know! If I didn’t have to worry about stick drift I might consider the Dualsense Edge

What other controllers? No other controllers expose back buttons as individually assignable buttons that I’m aware of except Steam Deck and Steam Controller since those use Steam’s own interface instead of xinput or dinput

None have additional buttons on the back that can be mapped as new buttons, they’re all just rebinding existing buttons. Steam deck is pretty special in that regard. I would REALLY like to have those four extra buttons available for couch PC gaming.

KDE stuff isn’t used on commercially-available products that need tech support

I’m sure there are organizations using Plasma desktop with IT departments supporting it, but I definitely take your point that Apple has orders of magnitude more spending on UI/UX and software development

I’m largely curious about Finder these days since I used macOS almost exclusively from the G4 days right up until about the time they switched to ARM, so it’s been a few years. I’m curious if Apple has made any significant improvements to Finder in the past, say, four years?

Dolphin seems great to me! What do you think Finder does better than Dolphin?

waifu

you completely lost me here.

ER.

Granted I haven’t watched ER since it was on TV in the 90s, but I have gone out of my way to hear that glorious theme song so many times!

Teardrop, yep!

ai porn is all trash tho.

Appreciate isn’t the claim tho

I still don’t understand why interest changes if it’s a fixed interest rate. I get that a bond could be sold for a lower price than initial purchase price, but does the interest rate only apply to the most recent sale price of the bond?

I don’t understand how prices drop and interest rates rise as a consequence of nations selling bonds. Wouldn’t prices only matter to the buyers and sellers of the bonds? And why would interest rates change?

In any case, if it gets the world to trust the USA much less, as we sadly very much deserve, I’m all for that.

Genuine question, is this trolling or do you seriously believe this?

I played it. It was enjoyable enough. It’s certainly not the best Wolfenstein, but just because it’s less good than the others doesn’t make it BAD.
