Anyone who hasn't seen taskmaster is in for a treat. It perfectly encapsulates how stupid we, as people, are and how ingenious we are, and mixed with a bit of "let's just fuck with people". The bit about Josh Widdicombe counting baked beans in a can brightens my day every time it pops into my mind.

Anyone looking for something similar to Taskmaster I'd recommend Game Changers. It has the same "let's fuck with people" vibe.

I was watching Hasan being at the protests to get a sense of what is actually going on and a European left a comment on his video that succinctly put the US police into perspective.

As a European I don't get how the police is just shooting rubber bullets instantly, why do they not have riot shields and water throwers and such, it seems so uncivilised.

And that pretty much sums up the cops in the US. They're just uncivilized. Their idea of "deescalation" is escalation until you're too incapacitated to fight back.

ELIS5 version. Wayland and Xorg are what draw the screen on your monitor. Xorg is based on stuff that's 40 years old and Wayland is meant to replace Xorg as a more modern way to draw on your monitor.

Looks fine for me on interstellar.

Depends on how you define wiping the slate clean? Just for the users or also for the hardware and software vendors?

Because the difficulty of Linux comes from the lack of hardware and software support. If you just compare the OS then for the average user there little to no difference in terms of functionality. People probably would ever prefer Linux due to it being just generally faster than Windows. You wouldn't pay extra to to get something that runs worse.

What people will pay extra for is the guarantee that their hardware and software just works. The only benefit Windows has is that you don't have to worry if your hardware or software will work because in 99.9% of the time it does and if it doesn't you can contact support and they won't instantly tell you your system isn't supported.

Didn't need to read the article to come to the same conclusion.

TLDR: Unless Merc can pick up Verstappen Russell won't be leaving Merc. Russell has no reason to go to another team because Merc is still one of the top teams and, unless Verstappen becomes available, there're no reason to replace Russell because there's nobody better to replace him with.

Same. I was willing to keep Outer Worlds 2 on my radar because I love Obsidian and they've earned my attention even though I didn't particularly enjoy Outer Worlds 1, but at that price point the game has dropped off my radar. Unless it's getting New Vegas level praise post launch I probably won't be paying any more attention to this game.

I'm in no hurry. If it comes within a year I'll be happy. If it takes longer I'll probably check it out unless some other app has come out that I'm also happy with.

Strictly personal reason. When the lemmy devs asked for monetary donations I voiced my concern with Lemmy.ml, which they also maintain. In response one of the devs called me a cheapskate, so I decided I'm done with Lemmy until more normal people become maintainers

Edit: forgot to add that it wasn't the only reason. The devs themselves are rather controversial in their beliefs and moderation and I had reluctantly tolerated thoss things up to that point. The dev interaction was simply the last drop in the bucket.

Hopefully voyager dev takes a look at piefed integration. I would absolutely love to get back to voyager but for me getting away from lemmy was more important than sticking to voyager.

Probably made more from every schmuck who didn't know they would be replaced for free and bought extra.

I haven't read the new TOS but if this review is correct it looks like a GDPR nightmare for them. Good luck to them explaining why they need to collect all that personal data.
