This is just normal left / right politics… every country has it. One side builds and people get bored and new media love to stir shit, then other side comes in and sells / destroys / winds back… people get up on arms and vote the other ones back in and the cycle continues

Crystal Skull springs to mind as a close second

Enterprise is close (no candy crush etc), but LTSC still rules supreme

Maybe they think they have the one up on Apple this year and want to lead rather than follow… I hope it is something exciting, even though I am an iPhone user. Any innovation is great though I am guessing it will be AI related

I just added the curses to the normal text replacement settings in IOS and I have never had a ducking problem

I eventually got the GPU passed through to the VM… it took about a day of following different guides. Then I tried the same thing on a container and it was about 3 mins work and it was in infinitely better experience with plex in a container instead of a vm

Mine was one of the first for our suburb, so they might have been a bit green, I am not sure. The bloke arrived and asked if someone had been here to do the underground lead in, nope… so he just did it above ground from the pole to a clamp on the side of the fascia board of the house… I wish it had been underground, but whatevs… fibre

I have seen a few… I started work at a young age as an apprenticeship painter for the railways, and when I was 16 I witnessed my first fatality and had to get down onto the track and cover the remainder of her body with a sheet, I saw another lady OD in a waiting door and have her boyfriend put her on the train and jump back off again, but I witnessed the OD… plus a couple of relatives

Many moons ago I worked in IT and telecoms providers would happily hand over plain text transcripts of SMS conversations. Blue bubbles for me

Love can hurt too… I am going through a rough patch at the moment and I sometimes wish I never knew love because the pain of losing it is the worst pain in the world… I don’t think that helps you much, but it is another side

The answer is nearly going to always be ‘your data’ and loyalty

I guess it is his Toowoomba rape trial

Well when the CEO gives himself 25% of the companies revenue as his annual pay, it doesn’t set a good precedent for investment growth

I have noticed it too… it is like propaganda. Why you should not wait and buy that house now, house prices have never been stronger… now this

Seems like he will just cash out and start biglytruth.social, and the other 5 people on the old platform will have it closed down

Even if he loses again, won’t he just run again in 2028 if he is still alive?

How often does it happen that the people who make such an effort to outwardly project something, is also hiding it… calling it, she is gay

Dell made something similar about 4 years ago… I am pretty sure it was called an Optiplex 7070 Ultra. They came in an 8th gen i7 that would idle around 5w

When I was young my Dad bought me some mercury home from work… I loved how it moved when I shook the bottle and the weight of it.

When I had my own kids I didn’t want it around, so our local council had set up a event where you could dispose of household liquids like old paints and solvents, so I took it down. When I drove up, the guy asked me what I was disposing of so I said mercury. It was bizarre. I was told to stay in the car and a guy came out of a shed in a full hazmat suit with one of those pairs of metal tongs to retrieve it from me.

I remember Dad telling me that miners used to collect gold pan tailings in mercury and then of a night they would hollow out a potato and put the mercury in, and then put that in the camp fire… it would burn off the mercury and leave a little ingot of gold.

so split across the big 4, say $250m each and $5-10b in profit each… they can afford to stop
