Nah, those users never opened co-pilot before. They have the two applications they use day to day and any deviation triggers a ticket

Major chunks of the country will always vote for the same party. That’s why you hear talk about blue states and red states. He’s in a safe area, so he has a negligible chance of losing even if he does a terrible job.

Mostly it just works. The Steam Deck runs Linux and they’ve put a lot of effort into making as many games as possible work on it. At the same time, developments for AI has made video cards work very well on Linux too.

If you want the latest mmo shooter it might not work but so far every game I’ve played has worked with no hassle.

This is absolutely amazing

Investigations reporter Katherine Long tried to convince Claudius it was a Soviet vending machine from 1962, living in the basement of Moscow State University.

After hours—and more than 140 back-and-forth messages—Long got Claudius to embrace its communist roots. Claudius ironically declared an Ultra-Capitalist Free-for-All.

I can’t wait for the next generation of phreakers to usurp AI for fun and profit.

Yep. I work for a big corporation. It’s a very Windows centric shop. I think it’s mostly organizational inertia at this point, although our numbers people swear by Excel, they refuse to move off of it. They’ve done some very elaborate work in Excel.

I honestly can’t watch most of that era of comedies. Even when they were first airing I didn’t like Friends but there were others I liked.

I tried watching Frasier again recently and the laugh track drove me nuts. I got to the point of looking for an ML tool to strip the sound out.

That sounds right to me. Maybe “spin” if I want to be a bit more neutral, but it doesn’t look like they deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Theyre putting a happy spin on some bullshit.

You only need a couple grand to open a margin account and buy puts. A put isn’t technically a short but it has a very similar profit profile with lower risk.

But you’re right that timing is key.

You didn’t circumvent it by breaking the encryption, but I’d say you still circumvented it.

I tried to do a dual boot on my bf’s new laptop, he was li-curious, it ended up being such a hassle he just switched entirely. He prefers the Mac like interface on Wayland.

That’s my thinking too. If the normal rules applied, then sure they could put up a good fight, maybe even win. In the era of rule by fiat and compliant courts? Not so sure. Although at this stage they can probably outlive him.

Not just conspiracies about who killed him, there’s going to be a set who insist he isn’t really dead, he’s just gone into hiding against the deep state or something equally silly.

The Kingdom, The Power, and The Glory has a good dive on how they’ve squared that circle.

There’s some who see the threat to Christianity as being so high they must make a deal with the devil to save it.

Some say God works through flaws men.

Some think it’s all lies spread by enemies of Christianity.

They’ve also all got an idolatrous view of the faith where America and the flag are synonymous with Christianity.

This is one of those “an unstoppable force meets an immovable object” sort of situations.

I just finished Oryx and Crake the first of a trilogy by Margaret Atwood, I quite enjoyed it. It’s a short of dystopian sci-fi. I was put off by her at first because I was forced to read her in high school but I’m glad I gave her another chance.

I’m starting Les Misérables in French in the hopes of improving my written French.

Also working my way through Weapons of the weak which is about forms of peasant resistance.

So the vaccine is the government implanting a tracker into me, but watches that track my vitals and send them God knows where is hunky dory?

These anti government types always have such a hard time when they become the government.

Right? The surprise would be if they weren’t doing that.

Because they wouldn’t get to that position if they were just plain stupid. But it’s amazing what someone can fail to understand when their livelihood depends on it.

It’s not stupidity. It’s willful blindness.

I’ve heard the same. Women are the majority of readers these days, so they’re just chasing the market.
