But then someone else who presumably doesn’t need a truck will be driving a truck

There’s a story every couple years that the FDA has banned them. But I guess I never see the follow up where it doesn’t work.

I’ve had a bunch of jobs using Java and my current place switched entirely to kotlin. It’s so nice. I don’t think I could go back.

It’s a great idea and I’m very interested but this article is just an ad. There’s very little substance.

Hell yeah

The developer of paint.net sells it on the Microsoft store to support the product. Not any different than buying an app through the App Store or Google play store.

It’s created by a Microsoft Engineer, not super surprising they leverage Microsoft tools to get paid.

Android is also Linux. I guess it’s a bigger secret.

I upgraded from 11 to 14 pro and was pretty underwhelmed. It was kinda worth it for the camera but besides that, it’s the exact same phone.

I would have 100% done this in my 20s when I was borderline homeless and dumpster diving to live. But now I’m older and a million dollars is less life changing than it would have been then. Sure more financial comfort would be nice but my basic needs are taken care of. Plus my body is in way worse shape now. I’m old and lame now and less likely to do ridiculous shit for the experience. I don’t think I would do it.

It’s way too broad a comparison. In my North Eastern US state, encountering smokers isn’t that common because it’s illegal inside and anywhere near a door. So to smoke, you have to pretty much hide. And it’s become uncommon enough, smoking makes you a pariah so people seem to be breaking the official rules less often as time goes on due to social pressure more than fear of enforcement. We were out at a bar the other day and a guy smoked on the patio and it very much stood out. You could feel the vitriol for this guy in the atmosphere and after a minute he walked in to the parking lot looking embarrassed. Not that long ago a waitress would have brought him an ash tray.

But go to Kentucky, there’s no rules about smoking anywhere. Last time I was there, we went to a grocery store with an ashtray between isles. Every building we went in to smelled like the 80s.

These are both the USA. And then in Europe, you do have countries like Bulgaria, Turkey, and Greece where more than 25% of the country smokes, which is higher than anywhere in the US. But then you have Sweden with only 6% and Norway with 7% which is a little bit better than anywhere in the US.

You need a book to tell you how to install Linux? I guess we were all a noob at one point.

Well my dad does too and he worked his ass off to prevent it. Baby boomers are just stupid as shit, there’s not really much you can do.

My dad is a tech in the telecommunications industry. We basically didn’t see him for all of 1999. The fact that nothing happened is because of people working their assess off.

Does it work if you plug it in to a windows computer?

Don’t feed trolls. You’re just giving it what it wants.

Don’t they explicitly say they can’t stop you from turning in to your parents?

A few posts up, there’s an article about how basically all cars manufacturers are a privacy nightmare

Is there a way to actually know that?

I saw a YouTube video a long time ago where they strapped cameras to outdoor cats. They were all pets, not feral. They thought they were going to get these cute videos of their cats playing and exploring the world but they were pretty much non-stop murdering.

They don’t. Libre Office is maintained by a non-profit called The Document Foundation. They’re funded entirely by donations. I think they make enough to have some full time employees.

A lot of open source software is created by individuals or non-profits. The Mozilla foundation makes Firefox, for instance. They make money through donations and also Google pays them a ton of money to be the default search engine.

There are for profit companies that make or contribute to open source software. Such as Red Hat. They tend to make money by selling support for the software.
