Pictures or it didnt happen

You can quite quickly see there's a strong correlation between solar activity and the status of our severe weather events, too - it's well known and established fact -

It is? That's funny, I've been having trouble finding anything like that. Where is the evidence for this "well known and established fact", exactly?

The best I could find on the topic was this graphic showing solar activity and global temperatures together. The two do not correlate.

Futurama really nailed it back in 2010, eh?

"With the new eyePhone, you can watch, listen, ignore your friends, stalk your ex, download porno on a crowded bus, even check your E-mail while getting hit by a train. All with the new eyePhone."

I thought it was low-hanging fruit at the time but it's actually prophetic. Or maybe it's just life imitating art.

But the guy at the rental store said the trenching tool will take care of all the work for me!

Indeed, it is industry best practice to release all critical libraries of code as an album of little ditties sung by the developers.

We learned this 25 years ago when DeCSS lawsuits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Students criticizing their programs? Dissatisfied with faculty? Say it ain't so! This has never happened before in the history of academic study.

I have a hand with finger muscles that is also able to operate a computer.

Keir Starmer is perhaps one of the most rancid politicians this nation has ever known.
BlueLabour = Red Tory

I don't understand how people actually allow their devices to interrupt them constantly. But then again I don't understand how people can browse the web without an ad blocker, or even watch TV shows with ads. Maybe I'm just weird.

I was excited about streaming games initially, but even with premium service and gigabit fiber, the experience is dreadful. I've tried GeForce Now, Stadia, Luna and they all have that intractable latency problem, plus the extreme compression they put it through which gives you an overall terrible experience. Even streaming locally over gigabit ethernet with Steam kinda sucks and that's the best possible scenario.

I think these problems are insurmountable, but the lure of subscription fees is too great. They'll keep pushing this, and people will adapt to the poor experience... Games will give you an illusion of control and adapt to the latency, and people will just get used to the compression artifacts and washed-out colors. Eventually it will be normal, Microsoft will jack up the price, and people will pay because you'll own nothing--not even a console.

Surely the hackers would rather take what they could get. You pay the money and do better next time, no? I'm sure something is missing from the article.

Cool story, but I just switched back to Cinnamon after wasting a bunch of time trying Plasma again. It still felt like a janky piece of shit. At least it was better than the mess that GNOME has become. All of this really just makes me appreciate how much work has gone into developing Windows' UI, despite Microsoft slowly eroding it. Why does Linux need all these half-broken desktop environments? I appreciate the chaos of open source, but after using Linux for 25 years I'm still continually disappointed...

I didn't know that Robert Picardo was actually the model for Johnnycab, that's funny.

What do you mean? The chocolate ration has always been 8oz.

Are they letting up kites to catch lightning to charge giant batteries?
