This was a reference to an older Jay Foreman video on this topic, wasn’t found as funny as I’d hoped.

In all seriousness I look up candidates and try to find several sources discussing them to attempt to avoid biases from one source. I like to see how they’ve voted as a representative in the past (if they were one). For voting on propositions I will look up what it does, the supporting and critical arguments, and then who supports and who doesn’t support it. That’s usually how I go about it.

I get so drunk I don’t know who I’m voting for!

With Internet searching disabled, the start menu is decent enough as a quick launcher and so I find myself hitting the Windows key quite often for that purpose.

On Linux there are better launchers that I’m too lazy to set up so still just hit Super and use the Application Launcher to find and run programs.

For what it’s worth my i9-13900 was experiencing serious instability issues. Disabling turbo helped a lot but Intel offered to replace it under warranty and I’m going through that now. Customer support on the issue seems to be pretty good from my experience.

So you have a product that you’ve made into a system for getting answers. And then you couldn’t be bothered to try and sanitize training data enough to get your answer system’s new headline feature from spreading blatantly incorrect information? If it doesn’t work, maybe don’t ship it.

Seen a concerningly large amount of companies calling things they don’t like “unconstitutional” lately.

Those Reese’s eggs around easter are so good

I like to think I lurk enough to not generally be recognized.

It’s so easy to think that it can’t happen to you. Then it happens. Happened to me, happened to cyber security majors at my college. I’m so glad he got the channel back. I love Son of a Glitch and seeing now that YouTube casually didn’t recommend his videos for months just means I’ve got more to binge I guess!

Had to re-read the title more times than I’d like to admit to recognize that “sick” didn’t mean the flowers were really awesome.

Hey, I played on this Teardown map!

There’s a project I could have written in Rust. Maybe some of the headache wouldn’t have ever happened using Rust.

I also didn’t know Rust at the time and it was a large project with unkind deadlines. I think the right tool for the job can also depend on available resources. So while the more unsafe, older tool I used caused a few small issues that Rust would not have; the project wouldn’t have been finished if I’d used Rust.

I do believe they were referring quite specifically to the politicians, since on every side it seems politicians are disconnected from their constituents and do things those constituents absolutely wouldn’t (this isn’t some bizarre both-sides argument btw, just general frustration at the state of things)

I’ve seen you a bit on a few of these posts, always defending these companies’ behavior. I tend to disagree with your stance. While I do understand that the infrastructure behind the sites I use is not free (trust me, I run some sites myself and my pitiful little things are expensive), I also do not think punishing users for adblock is justified. Neither is scraping as much data as can be gathered for further sale. Advertising can be very intrusive anymore and data collection from sites is no different. It’s not that the sites want to make money; it’s their insistence that the user is the product. Just pay walling the service would be much less scummy and unjustifiable than this nonsense.

I’d use Desktop if it worked, unfortunately recently it decided that I don’t have read/write access to a repo I’m working on. Works fine in git CLI so idk what the problem there is.

You want to remove the string concatenation operator? Cause that’ll do it
