Thanks to government subsidies it's much easier to boot into the corn kernel within the United States. But if you enable your VPN within your BIOdieSel, you can still take advantage of them abroad

  1. Windows as a whole is less useful than prior versions in significant ways. They presumably know this, but think they can make it better in the long run than it was before, without AI. But given that a lot of what they've done is tear out well-suited technologies for the problems people face on desktop OSes, and replace them with LLMs that aren't as well-suited to the task, I'm not sure how they can justify that to themselves. I can't imagine the justification is particularly good.

Yes, but if Rudy Giuliani's disbarment is evidence of anything, brazenly defrauding the legal system for political purposes can have that effect. Much like Comey's claim being one that rarely succeeds, I think we're in the realm of possibility where rare things may well happen

Salmonella recall? Nah, I've got a kitchen autoclave, I'll be fine

If the goal is to serve people with larger distances to groceries today, and unmet needs, it's probably not as helpful in wealthier areas like Staten Island. Though surely some people there will benefit.

I can't find easy data on grocery store density, but I'm guessing if the program is as successful as it seems like it should be, dozens of stores across NYC seems like a place they could get quickly. Probably not evenly distributed across boroughs though.

There weren't even gender markers on US passports until the 1970s. As it should be, honestly.

Anecdotally, it doesn't feel like the experience is contracting, or part of a shrinking community. It's worth asking what the data means, and whether it's bad, but there are definitely other reasonable factors too. Users from interoperable platforms like mastodon and piefed, individual people using fewer accounts, or even fewer lurkers, could be responsible for a good chunk of the data.

As an experienced Linux user, I just migrated my last windows machine to Debian sid, my gaming PC. And it's great. But I started on stable, and moved to sid after a few weeks, and it really wasn't an issue for gaming or general use. My partner's gaming computer is still on stable.

But yeah for someone less familiar, Bazzite and Mint are great choices. Pop! OS if you like the look of it, or Zorin OS if you like its look. You can always try something new if you're interested in its features.

There's a very easy way to prevent that; add a rule that any claim made against an officer without a working body cam is presumed to be true, and the officer's contracting testimony isn't relevant. If they don't want people lying about their conduct, they're given the equipment to protect themselves, and responsible for ensuring it's functioning.

In what way? There's this, and the punching down / anti-trans rhetoric thing, but it feels like you're talking about something else entirely.
