I'd imagine reddit could be profitable too if they stopped throwing money at stupid shit like NFTs and avatars. Selling API access for AI training was a good move in terms of bringing in income since it basically costs them nothing, and they could have totally pulled that off without pissing off half their userbase.

Notably they would also have access to normal physical light switches. Oh no, someone in the room could turn my lights on or off, the horror.

Yeah, now you just get a wage ceiling where you're only employable if you're cheaper than the robot.

You can get a magnetic phone mount for like $10-15 that fits in the CD slot like in the picture. Not sure why this is a thing.

Looks like Google has some tooling available that might help: https://protectingchildren.google/tools-for-partners

Probably other options too.

So much for the flippant "I won't be responding to this outside of this text post".

The county announced Tuesday that Paine Field's official name would be Seattle Paine Field International Airport, adding the Emerald City to the title. In a press release, the change will improve the airport's marketing abilities outside of the region and "reinforce its geographic proximity" to Seattle.

Anyone have any ideas on how to do a remote start via voice for your PC? To power it on that is.

Issaquah tenant Mary Marks, whose rent had shot up 23% in the previous year and a half, suspected the algorithm could be behind her rent increase. Her property management company, Avenue5, was named along with the software maker RealPage in one of the lawsuits filed in Seattle. Late last year, Marks wondered if she could join a lawsuit.
Then, she discovered something she had never noticed in her lease.
A one-page addendum buried in the agreement said she had waived her right to bring or join “any purported class-action lawsuit” against her landlord or the landlord’s “agents.” She could only sue individually.

I haven't played with it since right after Biotech came out. What are some current strategies for managing pollution these days? Particularly if you go heavy on mechs.

It has a demo on Steam this week: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1983990/Stellaris_Nexus/

My first thought was it looked like casual Stellari, but I guess the goal is a 4x that's playable in an hour for multiplayer?

Gives me a little bit of a Slipways vibe: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1264280/Slipways/

Meanwhile, a few hundred feet away, Pioneer Square mainstays Linda Hodges Gallery and the Center on Contemporary Art are celebrating a different milestone: their last First Thursday Art Walk.
Linda Hodges Gallery, whose owner is retiring, and CoCA, which will be operating online only for a while, are among a number of high-profile Pioneer Square galleries that have closed their brick-and-mortar spaces in recent years. At the same time, new galleries, pop-up exhibits and artist-led events like Forest For The Trees are bringing fresh blood to the neighborhood and upending the long-held ways galleries have operated.

“We got down from the car and went inside.”

“I made the line to pay for groceries.”

“He made a party to celebrate his son’s birthday.”

These phrases might sound off to the ears of most English-speaking Americans.

In Miami, however, they’ve become part of the local parlance.

According to my recently published research, these expressions – along with a host of others – form part of a new dialect taking shape in South Florida.

This language variety came about through sustained contact between Spanish and English speakers, particularly when speakers translated directly from Spanish.

In the US we have Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses that do this; are there any similar in the UK and what kind of religion do they proselytize?
