generic engineering

Oh, never stop working badly, autoincorrect! 🤣

And yet when I put quotes around something… It ignores that. Well Google would anyway. Decent search engines don’t.

Go right ahead. No one’s stopping you.

Signal sucks from a UI/UX standpoint, when they dropped SMS support I lost any ability to convince people to switch, and everyone who had already switched left.

Then there’s the seamless switching between devices…which it doesn’t do.

Also, “lying”. “Lay” means “to recline”.

And yet searx respects operators.

Right? It would take me most of an hour to walk to my gym, which is really close (I do sometimes jog to the gym and walk home, when I have time).

Yep, I sweat like a horse, doing anything. I’m not a fat bastard, I’ve been like this since I was a kid.

I know people that workout during lunch. I ain’t got time to eat, workout, and shower - not just “rinse off”, my ass needs a shower.

I’ve done walk to work occasionally with on-site visits where the hotel was close to the client… In the winter. Summer? No fucking way.

Well, the Death Star can destroy a planet, so I’m thinking they could take out a single cube.

Imagine the energy required to destroy a planet…

But if there’s more than one cube, I’m guessing they’re fucked.

But what happens if Vader were assimilated?

Standing by your bed while you’re asleep and berating you isn’t manipulative?

Nah, to needs to leave, now. No sense hanging around to see what this escalates to. Not worth putting in the effort for someone who’s demonstrated they need to grow up.

Her standing by your bed and behaving like that is childish and she’s demonstrating manipulative behaviour.

You question the value? Really? Are you the doctor, because that’s exactly what he said.

Seems like they can be rather effective, which is why every power, ever, throughout history, has had them.

Questioning the cost to the individuals, sure, but their value to a given power?

Now if you want to make a philosophical debate about them, sure, there’s one to be had.

Find a new company? 😆

Doesn’t look like it works with other calendar systems yet?

Currently, Notion Calendar integrates and syncs with Google Calendar accounts. Adding support for other calendar providers such as Outlook and iCloud is on our roadmap.

Also it only works with a Notion account? It gives me no other options - just “Login to your Notion account”.

I wouldn’t call Thunderbird “decent”, I’d call it nominally functional.

Performance is terrible, lots of lags, etc. And this on a fairly new, recently rebuilt, 16gb Windows LTSC laptop (so no bloat).

And then there’s the UI stuff - monochromatic so hard to tell where one window/tab starts/ends, etc.

Laugh tracks were extensively used long before the Fran Drescher thing though?

Nearly every show I watched from the 60’s to the early 80’s used them. It was noticeable when there wasn’t a laugh track.

I’ve worked for numerous enterprises since the 90’s.

None of them have been this idiotic. All of them implemented secure channels. Remember SecurID cards for dial up connections?

Look into your municipality’s recycling process, see how it’s done, what the inputs are, what the total energy use is, etc, etc.

I’d bet a year’s salary it’s far less effective (if at all) than most people think.

“Recycle” was/is a marketing grift developed by the oil industry in the 70’s. It largely isn’t effective.

As someone else mentioned, aluminum (and steel) are very recyclable, and are already extensively recycled in manufacturing (don’t forget that reusing scrap within a factory is considered recycling).

Everything else largely isn’t, yet. Glass is very recyclable, but the transport costs are exorbitant, so I suspect it’s a negative for things like drink bottles, while the energy costs on most plastic recycling makes it not yet viable, from what I’ve read.

Someday, just not today.

If the 3 R’s, Reduce is the one that truly makes a difference.

Run it in a VM, then get the NoCD from gamecopyworld?

(Not sure if that’s an option for securom)
