The Open Split Deck is what the above commenter is referring to! Very cool project that is exactly what I'm looking for...just not for sale yet lol!

I want this controller but split down the center so I can walk with them on a treadmill. There are joycons and third party joycons but none that I've found with the little track pads. That'd be HUGE.

I always thought of it as more of an efficiency thing. Perhaps a bad analogy, but let's say I have a few hundred photos I took on vacation. Yes, I could store them all together in a single batch. However, grouping them with some kind of predetermined taxonomy can help make sense of things through the noise. In a similar fashion, elected officials, imperfect though they may be, consolidate the voices of many into the voices of a few. At a certain scale and across certain distances it does make sense.

I think it was somewhere here in Lemmy, but I saw a proposal of randomized government appointments akin to jury duty which I found quite fun. Good way to make sure the populace is smart because any of them may be called up.

Honestly I found it delightful. It was so fun to see so many faces again, and even the new characters melded in surprisingly well. My one gripe is I think they would have benefited from adding a layer of artificial grit or something so it didn't look quite so hi-def.

Midwest here. Just had the procedure about two weeks ago (recovery slightly slower than the commenter above, but not by much). They said something like $500 without insurance which honestly wasn't even that bad. After insurance it was $110. One consultation of "you sure big dawg?" Then the procedure about 4 weeks later, which took maybe 20-30 minutes and I was just chatting away with some Valium in my system. Very easy.

Someone may have replied with this already, but: https://stoptrumpswars.org/ we're trying.

Dang I had so many of these books growing up. Either my memory is trash or I didn't actually read most of them because the only thing I remember is some guy got stuck as a hawk lmao

Unpopular opinion, but I'm coming to the realization that I don't really care if FOSS projects are experimenting with and leaning into AI. In most cases I am not donating and simply enjoying a product for free. I am no programmer I put trust in their code before, all I can do is continue to do the same. Now, paid software feels different. And I don't mean donations, I mean if Autodesk started pumping out slop (which I don't doubt is happening) then that feels far worse.

Plus, I've gotten an insane amount of utility out of Claude as a regular dude. If I knew what I was doing a little more, I imagine that would feel pretty cool.

Id be willing to bet the entire image is AI. Seems odd to only do those icons, when it's arguably the easiest part to source of the entire image. Makes me question the validity of the numbers, especially now that I realize there don't appear to be citations.

I work with a kid who I know listens to JRE often. He's kind and very smart. What I've found is that he lacks confidence and prefers not to speak even when he thinks he has the right answer, for fear of being wrong. He's depressed, and around this time last year checked himself into a hospital for a week. I know he recently started going to church, likely to try and find answers and support. He seems to mean well. All this to say, listeners of JRE may not be stupid or bad people. Some of them, a lot of them, I'd be willing the guess, are confused young men being brought to bad conclusions because they sound like answers and are wrapped with an "I'm just asking questions," bow.

Lol I've got mine sitting in the basement, still equipped with the pandora's battery and probably some wild theme if I ever get around to turning it back on.
