This is the explanation for why:

The fact that the explorer can regularly completely freeze up nowadays or flat out crash is actually insane.

This was literally the trigger for my very first Linux experience, it’s fucking asinine that something so fundamental to the UX could perform so poorly for such an extended period of time.

I love having to reboot explorer.exe because my taskbar search stops working.

I know you meant “spotlight” but that typo made me chuckle

My character in any game is named Tav now

Seconding Thursday boots; I love the fit and style. I wanted a leather daily driver I wouldn’t feel too bad about getting some damage on. Hurt a lot for awhile, but no regrets obviously.

For the uninitiated today’s lucky 10,000

The opposite would probably be worse, honestly.

No one said it’s fine, it was just wrong information. Are corrections unwelcome here or are we just upset we can’t be angry about the thing that was wrong?

No disagreement here, just want to make sure we get the nuance into the conversation where appropriate.

To be fair, in the pursuit of accuracy, they have said it’s all private funding taking care of it with some coming from strongarm lawsuits. I think that’s easy to verify with receipts, no details released yet. The honourable thing to have done would be to fund government paychecks with that money, and that would probably be a good move politically, but obviously not happening.

One of the features of using your own soap! Dilute more if your hands are getting too dry – I like 1:5 dilution for my foaming hand soap pumps, that’s been working well for me. This will change depending on how long you wash your hands for; I use a whole 10-15s even at home so I reduced the concentration. I’m not sure what the “minimum” concentration is for it to be effective, but I just tweaked it so my hands don’t feel oily. If you need it to be highly dilute for sensitive skin, you could consider keeping a very light solution for frequent washing and a separate stronger concentration for more dirty hands.

I started using (diluted) castile for everything including handwashing, I’ve been liking it.

I think it’ll be similar to Nixon. They were similar people, anyway.

Here’s a fun podcast covering that book!

If Books Could Kill: Steve Harvey’s “Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man”

Weird number of downvotes here – I thought they were meant for low-effort or non contributive comments, not an “I disagree” button. This person is giving a unique perspective as a subscriber (in this thread, anyway) and should be met with curiosity, I think. It is helpful to know that there are people who enjoy paying for it, so thanks for giving your opinion here.

I disagree because they have a dominant position for reasons other than having a good product – they squash competition trying to make the space better while themselves actively making it worse. Subscribing means supporting that style of inhibiting innovation, not to mention the other user-hostile practices they embrace (extend, extinguish). They are an ad company and obligated to make a profit, I get that, but I refuse to abide this style of using investor money to operate at a loss for years while deceptively capturing the market before raising prices. If your product is good, it shouldn’t need to be artificially propped up.

Does this mean any “both” situation is actually an either-or, because the choice is still between both or nothing? I don’t like that

Marry a lady!

Also, pedantry: activate! It’s not an either-or situation – it’s a both situation.

Yeah I feel you. I don’t think the content is necessarily bad, but LLM output posing as a factual post at a bare, bare minimum needs to also include the sources that the bot used to synthesize its response. And, ideally, a statement from the poster that they checked and verified against all of them. As it is now, no one except the author has any means of checking any of that; it could be entirely made up, and very likely is misleading. All I can say is it sounds good, I guess, but a vastly more helpful response would have been a simple link to a reputable source article.
