Something isn't over just because it has peaked. While I wish there was more, compared to when I was younger there are a lot more shows available.

What I do kinda dislike though is these mini-abbreviated seasons that have been adopted on new shows. I know its due to expense, but 10 episodes feels kinda short for a season when the shows I grew up with would have 20 to 26 episodes per season. And while I can deal with 10 - a lot of shows have been trying to get away with "seasons" of 6 episodes or less. 6 episodes of TV isn't a season - its a long movie chopped into pieces.

Projection.

Note that while Trump want's to go Mars, US is pulling the plug on most planned robotic missions.

We're not talking about those right now.

Your ADHD is not my problem.

You mean like when Israel murders people who are more semitic than Israelis?

You will never make fresh food cheaper than manufactured food, because the latter is shelf stable and can be made from poor quality ingredients which are cosmetically unsalable. Ultra-processed foods are cheaper everywhere.

faster than used Tesla batteries.

We collectively got over-focused on deporting gardeners and letting brain-worms set child vaccination policy.

I agree that suicide is a personal decision, so I don't think a person should be criminalized for attempting it. But it's inconvenient for society, so others should be dissuaded from encouraging it. Even if you remove a humanitarian motive, and please don't but this is slashdot so there will be people who will get mad if one doesn't, there are good reasons why the legal system should act to reduce suicide.

Yeah this. Jet Set/Grind Radio looked amazing on the Dreamcast because it didn't render stuff it didn't have to when creating the cel shaded look. Therefore you could have big complex scenes that performed fluidly at all times. I thought that was the point of this game which I haven't played, get off my lawn etc etc.

There's several OSS FPSes built around this concept, but all of them that I've seen have been pretty lo-fi so it would make sense to me that it would take a commercial title to sell it. Finding out that they aren't doing it is not even funny, but just weird to me.

If you're using your phone for something that winds up being the subject of an investigation, then your phone can be subpoena'd. Even if everything is on the up and up, and everything on your device is ducky, you can still be inconveniently deprived of your device for a time. Therefore you should never use your device for work in any way other than calling in to it, which doesn't leave any traces on your device that it doesn't also leave on the network.

Availability of guns enabled the crime of course, but I don't think that being raised around lots of guns is the whole problem here. Grandma said they're all MAGAs. He was raised around a lot of violent rhetoric in combination with guns. Did he have to be wired wrong, or was being programmed from an early age enough?

You can easily add new bus stops near rail, it's not as easy to add rail near bus lines except by luck.

Safe and clean are going to require some upgrades to society. They would be cheaper than what we've been doing, but then some people would get things for free that other people are paying for, and then lots of people would be mad. And not without reason, but not usually for the reason they'd be mad for.

I have cable, it's expensive and they keep raising the prices while offering deals at now (given how much they've increased our bill) around a third of the price for new customers. I live in a small city so I'm not going to see it any time soon, but fiber is going in somewhat nearby and I'd sure like some of that here.

A doubtful premise given Microsoft history, as I've experienced all kinds of minor upgrades/updates breaking software on various forms of Windows over the decades. But even given that, it won't all run it equally well, and Windows 11 is festooned with more crap which has to be dodged. They've also dicked up the interface regarding snap and multiple monitors in a way that causes my mouse pointer to warp incredibly unpleasantly, but I don't try to do multimonitor on a system I also play games on any more so I'll be honest and admit that's not affecting me in that way.

Your point about the legal status is granted. Otherwise, it has a longer support life than Windows 10 Pro. It will be interesting to see how Microsoft supports it when there's more improperly activated users than legit ones. I'm not depending on Windows for anything I can think of these days, but I assume I'll need it to run some configuration utility at some point.

IME "support" is mostly notional anyway. In terms of what will run, it's true that a bunch of PvP games for Windows require Windows kernel DRM, and will not run on Linux. Or, you have a degraded experience where you cannot connect to most servers, and there may also be no anticheat functionality at all. So yes, if you want to play those games, you will still need Windows.

Otherwise, most games seem to work on Linux now, including a bunch of older games that don't work well on modern Windows. Market share is only a matter of time if Microsoft keeps alienating users.
