It sounds like you may be ready to Obey The Testing Goat

Brenna’s praise of Aabria’s Game Mastery is both incredibly high praise (coming from him) and very deserved.

I wasn’t sure I wanted to watch Dimension 20 with a different game master, but Aabria really nails it.

I also think it’s cool, but it traded away the basic usability of knowing if swipe down is doing anything or not.

A simple page progress indicator along the side would restore that, and plant this firmly in cool.

If you want to put several people to work on a project, divide it into components and give each to one person.

This helps ensure that each person who will eventually leave causes maximum damage to the project’s long term viability.

Bankruptcy Judge Craig T. Goldblatt sided with pension funds over how to calculate the penalty Yellow must pay for canceling workers’ retirement plans when the company shut down last year. The ruling, issued last week, means there is little chance the company will have any cash left for shareholders like hedge fund MFN Partners after Yellow finishes selling its real estate portfolio and paying the pension penalty.

Fuck yeah. A contract is a contract. A pension is a particularly important one, in the “preventing brick to the head of shareholder” category.

Shareholders need to wise up about pension obligations, or move their money back into index funds.

On the stable channel, it seems like (from comparing notes with friends) a recent update introduced crashes into older games that did not crash previously. In my case, Proton is always involved.

That’s something, at least.

I want to show more empathy, but the dude made the choice to start a new war in the nuclear era when we cannot afford war anymore. (And yes, I’m aware he’s not the first.)

I wonder sometimes if we face a choice between strictly rejecting his kind (war starters) from our species, or accept that our species is destined to cease to exist.

Great info. Awful website design. Thanks for sharing this.

Maybe Russia thinks she’s unwilling to sell them her country’s national secrets…

Right. It’s different in that it lacks Google Framework Service, and adds a bunch of privacy controls, like additional quick toggles to control the cameras, and microphone, the way other Android can quick toggle the flashlight and location servcies and bluetooth.

The biggest thing is substantially more granular per app permissions, controlled from a calentral interface in settings.

Nice write up.

I feel like everyone under-sells the speed difference, though. I haven’t seen performance differences this impressive from an OS switch in many years.

For those that know the feeling of switching a tired old x86 to Linux and getting a peppy performant device - this is better.

Maybe it just feels better from being a pocket device, or maybe my last phone was more deeply bogged down with vendor crap than I can fathom.

Either way, my affordable older Pixel is running GrapheneOS substantially more responsive for daily tasks than the most expensive phones I have ever bought before.

“American journalists”… We used to have those.

You never met my neighbor…

Joking aside, I really did have to move away to prevent things getting worse.

I pride myself on getting along with people, but this experience made me admit that some people just genuinely suck.

Return to Office Mandates are trying and failing to mask poor company performance.

I used to buy a lot of stuff off of Amazon, and subscribe to Prime, and Kindle Unlimited, all while their service got a little shittier each year.

But they couldn’t stop there, and decided to go union-busting, which changed it from a personal choice to a moral one, for me.

(And some Sarcasm:) I didn’t think my behavior was enough to cause them all this trouble, but I guess I was buying waaaaay too much shit at Amazon.

The nicest thing about the second picture is how much free untamed land it leaves for me to find a spot to bury the body of my asshole upstairs neighbor.

Edit: I’m not a murderer… But only because I moved out.

Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on.

Larry has apparently never seen a single episode of any reality TV show. That’s impressive.

Return the internet to the pre-“smart” phone era, in which a minimum bar of effort and knowledge needed to be present in order to connect and participate on the web.

Yeah. I think that’s happening now. The public will discover the Fediverse, but I’m not sure if they’ll be welcomed into every community here.

History tells us there’s also a release valve of a swift brick to the side of the head, one brick per billionaire.

It sounds messier than paying taxes, to me. But I’m not a billionaire, so I can’t say I understand their motives.

The shared roof makes sense, I suppose. They might want all that water power from any rain to also get directed into the wheel wells.

Lol. It’s not the groundhog we should be watching, then?
