Gene Wolfe, but I am a sucker for a longwinded description of a bizarre world. Definitely not for everyone. As type this I had the thought, “gods I hope he is not a shitass.” BRB, got some searching to do

I’m not saying it is not true, but if it is can we get a better source than watcher.guru? Something about a crypto focused news source screams not credible

The other 5e based game, Solasta has custom campaigns. It is not as polished as BG3, but it is enjoyable

That’s fair. I guess I give just a little bit of room for fucking up and fixing it. I am also not particularly loyal and will ditch companies at the drop of a hat.

Is that still true? The article/github thread cited on Prism Break are from 2012 and 2013 respectively. It seems only to be true of Ubuntu 12.10. The only thing I can from from current Ubuntu versions is the ad in the command line when doing an apt upgrade, and that is from 2022. It does not appear to exist in other Ubuntu based distros since it is an ad for Ubuntu Pro. Not saying it is great, but it seems like non-Canonical distros should be OK.

I’m on Pop_OS and really like it. I chose it because i have a 2080, so the nvidia specific package is great for me. No WiFi issues, but I almost always have it hard wired, so not much chance to have it go wrong

I don’t know if the concerns are misaligned, just the reason for the concern. The app creators specifically said they created it to reduce food waste, but I think the app creators have put too much stock in the benevolence of restaurant owners. If they are selling food that was not leftover, it kinda defeats the purpose. Ultimately is it a horrible thing? Probably not since it doesn’t move the needle in the other direction, but it is misleading.

The one thing I can see making things worse is the last thing you mentioned. If they were going to donate the food to a local food bank, then ultimately the app makes the world worse and doesn’t do the thing they set out to do. Kinda like Imperfect Produce, Too Good to Go could be a net negative.

Anecdotally I took a look at the places around me just to see. I live in a pretty low participation area (not a small city, I’m in the Seattle area), so grain of salt there. Of the 4 restaurants within 5 miles of me on the app, 2 were donuts, which seems like a good use. I took a look at reviews of the 2 non-bakery restaurants, and one seemed like it was using it as intended. The other was called out in reviews, with multiple people saying the employees explicitly told them they were instructed to put specific low cost items in the bag.

Overall I think there is something to look into, but the article just hits it tangentially.

What definition of Dad Rock did they use? Because from my definition it would be a more unified genre, not just songs that were on the radio before they turned 35.

To be fair, he is incredibly, and deservedly hateable

I’ve used OSMand and wasn’t a fan, but good to know the paid version has Auto support.

Much easier said than done. I would personally like to, but I need a good replacement for Android Auto/Google Maps in my car. That is me personally, though. For a lot of not technically inclined people that is not possible.

Then you get Gemini instead. It is not required yet, but Google will bug you about it almost daily in multiple locations

JFC I almost spit my beer

Considering Buldak is known for the first one I would be very surprised at the second

I mean, I kinda get it since the article does a piss poor job of using correct pronouns, but put a content warning in the description if that is the case

Edit: It is still early and my words were not good

Why is this marked as NSFW?

I was just having a conversation about a Google free, AI Free phone option. This isn’t quite where the folks I was talking to need it to be (mostly needs eSim and 5G would be nice), but it certainly something to keep an eye on.

The issue there is that we still live in a capitalist hellscape, and artists need to make money to survive. Until we have a situation where artists can make art and not worry about where their rent (yes, fuck landlords) or food, they will need to be able to make a living somehow.

Are you saying artists should be OK with AI companies stealing their art an using it without permission?

Alpha is For sure more accurate. But for me that also means big security holes like that should be plugged before insider. I’m also a bit biased being a QA engineer
