Kind of. For a while she did. I moved abroad, and we both concluded that chapter to be over. A couple of years down the road I was visiting the old country (passportrenewal, iirc), and I happened to run into her the day before I was supposed to fly home. But then this volcano erupted, grounding all flights in Northern Europe for a while, and during this extra time we ended up picking up the thread where we left it.

I got her back about a year or two later. She’s currently about 1m to my right, and now that 15 years have passed we share a house with four kids and two cats.

I don’t remember when, but I’m sure this happened a while ago, as I remember reading about it in our domestic papers. August, maybe? A few months ago, at least.

EDIT: Ah, I see he admitted to it. I guess that’s the update. The arrest was, as mentioned, long ago.

Yes. No exception. Period.

Because the burial is not for the dead themselves, but for anyone left behind.

No matter how vile a person is, it’s likely that they had at least a person or two who miss them.

Enshittification was always a thing but it has gotten exponentially worse over yhe past decade. Tech used to be run by tech enthusiasts, but now venture capital calls the shot a lot more than they used to.

Ok, I’ll be the one who does it…

What does solipsistic mean in this context? Or any context at all, for that matter…

Agree. 15+ years ago tech was developed for the tech itself, and it was simply ran as a service, usually for profit.

Now there’s too much corporate pressure on monetizing every single aspect, so the tech ends up being bogged down with privacy violations, cookie banners, AI training, and pretty much anything else that gives the owner one extra anual cent per user.

They ruined each other. I preferred both when they didn’t affect each other - Your neighbor didn’t get her news and science lessons from a crackpot blog, and your favorite online community wasn’t based on identity politics. The only identity that mattered was your username.

Destiny Potato - Lun

I for one would like to recommend Bitwig - I like that better than Ardour.

A watch party!

No. It’s only called crack when poor plebs use it, not the rich. That’s why there’s different laws.

Doesn’t matter. The reason why they’re produced is to keep the domestic fearmongering active and the population convinced they’re only defending themselves.

I’m still a bit hung up on the correct order of adjectives in English. I won’t argue about APFSDS, as it’s an established term, but in this case, would it be HEFSSH? or FSHESH?

I love how features like these are quickly adopted by some dev in some basement, resulting in support built in the OS and automatically supported.

For example, I recently got myself a brand new Lenovo Legion 7, and the intention was always to nuke the windows install and get Linux up and running. I was curious about the hotkey too adjust the fan/cooling schema, as it seemed to rely on some proprietary Lenovo windows program.

Less than an hour after picking it up at the post office I had a basic Linux Mint ip and running with the GPU drivers working well, and the hotkeys worked out of the box.

In 5 years hardcore researchers will be modding their lab equipment and installing plexiglass glass sides. Just like I did to my PC in 1999-2000ish

There definitely was. I’ve seen it.
