I think they mean that sandboxing Windows in a VM is akin to how GrapheneOS can sandbox Google apps, not that they would use Graphene on a PC.

Happy to be corrected though!

All of your advice is sound enough, but the point of this video was more to demonstrate that Cloudflare (and absolutely other companies) are specifically avoiding "layoff" language in favor of firings based on "performance" to avoid paying these people even the paltry amount in unemployment they would receive. It's not just that they're being laid off.

Disclaimer: Your experience is your own and I am not trying to tell anyone how to feel by sharing my own here.

Feelings of shame around my attraction to women went away the second I came out as a trans lesbian. I don't have a lot of words to share which explain why I felt that shame - perhaps a fear of being creepy, or wanting to be with women but not wanting to be the "man" in the relationship - but that experience is a clue that I look back on post-coming-out as a sign that I wasn't cishet. Had I been equipped with the language and therapeutic resources to analyze that more closely, I may have come out sooner.

ty. I was quite tired when I originally commented and just mixed up which field to put the url into.

Guess I uploaded it badly. It's a Big Lebowski gif of the line, "well, that's just like, your opinion, man"

I'm playing Starfield on gamepass. Fallout 4 was similarly a wakeup call for me: I had pre-ordered it and was mostly disappointed by it. I occasionally try replaying it, but that disappointment sticks with me to this day. This is coming from someone whose first major gaming experience on PC was with Oblivion (which I still play to-date).

So yeah - I'm with you on not buying Starfield new because of FO4's poor showing. I am enjoying it well enough that I may buy it someday (kinda wish I had gotten a GPU bundle including it just because I've been ready to upgrade for a long time), but I'm not in any rush to do so. I just knew I wasn't going to be as interested in it as I was with other Bethesda games of the past.

As an aside, I hope FO3 works better for you these days. A year or two back, Bethesda patched the Steam version to remove the Games for Windows Live requirement, which had foiled many attempted replays of mine (particularly when I made the move to Linux). Now it runs perfectly well.

That makes sense haha. I felt it worth asking due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strikes.

If you have a source on this, please share it - I have not found anything to corroborate that he is being replaced by AI, although the idea that this is happening is plausible and believable.

Red Sonja ruled when I watched it not too long ago. Apparently everyone hated it, critics and audiences alike, but I thought it was fun.

I'm convinced that, around where I live, they give up on putting beans in whatever I order and just feed me the "we're out of beans" excuse. Maybe they really are out, but I have received beef in items I ordered with beans so often and at so many different locations and times that I think they just don't care to do it.

It's been a long time since I've read much about Napoleon, but the trailer inspires me with no confidence about historical veracity, and I have little doubt that you will be correct in the end.

Which apps are those? Just curious - I know there are others in this situation and I'm always interested in hearing what apps are the blocking ones for a transition from Windows.

YSK because text-based communication demands clarity, and this mistake can be confusing for both native English speakers and English learners alike.

I've seen many people online writing "weary" when the context of the rest of their posts suggest they mean "wary." Here are Merriam-Webster definitions for each:

weary (adj)

  • exhausted in strength, endurance, vigor, or freshness

wary (adj)

  • marked by keen caution, cunning, and watchfulness especially in detecting and escaping danger

Hope this helps somebody out there who may not know the difference or has been confused by the words :)
