I just don't really get why people even get behind stuff like this. There's just nothing for anyone to really gain and a whole lot for everyone to lose...

Even the mega rich and the corporations have to recognize that an unstable world isn't really a great place to live or do business right? Or is it just that they're so far removed from everything that they don't have to care?

By the time you're benefiting from this in a non-symbolic way, your net worth is more than you can conceivably spend in a lifetime... Go home, you're done!

My piHole is the one thing that lets me use my phone without getting bombarded with ads. Best choice of my life. Set up Wireguard to VPN when out and about too.

I feel like the original guides are good but maybe compiling braindead simple guides would help mass adoption.

I actually kinda agree with this.

Even if a commandline tool has more power, utility and flexibility than a gui tool, guis let you drill down into the core workflow of what your software is meant to do. At a minimum, it lets you segment what your regular users are expected to do from what your power users could use your software to do.

Additionally, if you intend for your software to be used by non-software adjacent users, a commandline interface is just asking for people to get lost/confused.

At work, we use ROS on some of our systems and while the commandline tools are simple to someone who works in the ecosystem, knowing what to look at when things go wrong is tricky.

Even a simple gui in tkinter that shows statuses or shows a list of topics and lets you print them out is leagues above the commandline when it comes to how much I need to be involved in other peoples' problems.

It is a luxury to be knowledgeable in software concepts and I think software devs/power users forget that often.

Well, the performance definitely failed as he was trying to join the sirens in their song.

It's just a coincidence that failing the performance also doubled as a tactical success!

It's kinda the antithesis of caring if they can't even get a real person to do it...

I just miss the original online MP.

In my limited memory, it was one of the few third person team based-shooters with good game modes for the medium.

Interrogation was honestly my favorite mode just from all the different ways it could play out with the crafted items and teamplay options. And this was back originally in PS3 era!

Very disappointed that we can't even get something close for modern platforms/PC cause it was one of my go-to MP experiences on console.

It has a subtitle though that it lets you attach a note to super likes. I don't think it's blanket, "Message anyone freely" like the VIP tier implies.

or acquiesce to Teamster demands that could worsen the company's labor cost disadvantage versus nonunion rivals in an inflationary environment.

If the Teamsters negotiate a good deal, I feel like it'd create more pressure for other shippers to unionize... Also, this corpo-speak is atrocious.

So as far as I'm concerned, take UPS to the cleaners and pave the way for everyone else.

TIL, the formatting on Wordpress is horrible for mobile. Nice post though.

I guess I'm just disappointed that Spez and co. are pulling a Weekend at Bernie's to cash out before letting Reddit die. The naked greed that they're probably going to get away with just makes my head spin.

It's a tough world out there for honest data scientists...
