I was worried of the same thing, but my purchase of several hundred CAD did not have any duties applied. Of course every country and even purchase can be different.

There’s definitely a lot more radical ideas here than usual, but outside of lemmy.ml/lemmygrad and hexbear you will generally find a mix of normal people with progressive policies instead of CCP supporters.

Glad that he eventually got it fixed.

Fortunately, Lifeward eventually capitulated and Straight was able to get his exoskeleton repaired — but that was only after an intense campaign

Still, these are the issues that make me question why anyone is excited for products like brain implants. The longer we can go without commercialised body modifications, the better.

Unfortunately there are very few open review projects and none that people have tried to actually integrate into one of the OSM apps. It makes me rather disappointed as finding businesses and checking reviews is one of the most common uses I have for Google Maps and yet OSM cannot replace it.

Birth. My life was exceedingly different before coming out of the womb, no doubt.

That’s… almost worse. Ew.

I actually think the poor branding is part of why Mastodon is hard to spread. Can you picture anyone seriously saying they “tooted” something? Because I can’t.

Sad that this XKCD from 2011 is still just as accurate today…

Logically speaking, I would sit with the wolf pack. Airline seatbelts are not made for wolves and I fully believe they would not be held by such paltry restraints. This leads me to the conclusion that my demise is not only certain, but an inevitability. With this in mind I would much rather be the first victim, for my death will be quicker while they are hungrier, and I shall save myself the mental trauma of seeing them devour the poor linux user before I reach my untimely end.

They’re called Lego pieces or just “Lego”, not “Legos”. It is the official way to say it, but more importantly I got used to it while growing up. I would always say “Lego ___”, for instance Lego sets, Lego bricks, Lego pieces: “Pass me the Lego brick.” The only time I would say “Lego” is as a group: “Bring the Lego upstairs.” Everytime I hear “Legos” my eye twitches because it sounds so wrong. Not sure where I picked this up but I will die on this hill.

I propose we replace the word entirely to something easier to spell and pronounce, such as “Feby”.

Their hubris is ironic.

I have a bad habit of jumping into programming without a solid plan which results in lots of rewrites and wasted time. Funnily enough, describing to an AI how I want the code to work forces me to lay out a basic plan and get my thoughts in order which helps me make the final product immensely easier.

This doesn’t require AI, it just gave me an excuse to do it as a solo actor. I should really do it for more problems because I can wrap my head better thinking in human readable terms rather than thinking about what programming method to use.

Training users to click on this shit is the same reason people wipe their desktop by ignoring “Yes I know what I am doing” warnings.

Thanks blud.

Blud I’m gonna be fr no cap rn but wtf does blud mean I’ve been meaning to ask for months and I still don’t get it

Yes. Also, you can shuffle playlists. Anyway, I have about ~40 current playlists, not counting sub-sets, out of which I use 5-10 day-to-day. They’re basically genre/mood tags but I don’t want to clutter up my entire library with fake genres so playlists it is.

I used to run a single playlist, essentially just my entire library, but the issue with that is I would be skipping songs constantly and it would jump from upbeat to sad to energetic to slow… it got old. Now, if I’m feeling in a rave mood I put on that playlist. Pop? Got it. Angry, sad, EDM, synthwave, swing, phonk, metal, hip-hop… the list goes on but I’ve got playlists for 'em and I don’t want to listen to each of them every day or at the same time. If I am feeling multiple I just queue up multiple on shuffle. It’s allowed me to be a lot more adventurous in my music taste by separating out the rare listens for only when I need them. Keeps me from getting bored of them.

I was attempting to make fun of the concept that being part of a group makes you “biased”.

… the investigation has nothing to do with the GamersNexus video, so your reply is irrelevant to the parent comment. But since you posted, I’ll take the dive: you really think it’s better they don’t investigate? If you were Linus, you’re saying you would rather bury your head in the sand about potential employee abuse because your reputation is too important? Sounds like your morals are worse than LTT.
