lemmy.ml has earned itself a pretty bad reputation, although there are instances that are worse. They keep things clean enough to not get defederated, but you're not really in sane company on there.

Gentoo still exists 🙂

Oh dear god, no, what have I done

Microsoft ~~Teams~~ is dog shit

That's all.

I was like you once and believed a convection oven and air fryer are the same thing and produce the same results. But I was wrong!

There is a subtle but crucial difference between an air fryer and a convection oven. A convection oven only circulates air around inside the oven, keeping the steam trapped with the food, while an air fryer actually removes all of the steam away from the food, allowing it to get much crispier much faster than is possible with a convection oven.

You are kind of right though, because now that air fryers have become popular, they've started marketting small toaster-oven-style convection ovens as "air fryers", even though they legitimately are not air fryers and do not cook the food the same way that an air fryer does.

Yeah, so the thing is, any amount of trust that I had has already been completely destroyed. "We don't do it anymore because it's illegal, trust me bro" isn't going to cut it. Does the bill include mandatory prison time for executives for violations, or just cost-of-doing-business fines? Will this be enforced by a government regulatory body that is not literally outnumbered 20:1 by car manufacturer lawyers?

If the car has any kind of network capabilities and 100% of the car's software is not open source, I'm not buying it. Period.

This bill would not need to exist if cars were FOSS, or if cars were non-networked. Those are the only 2 solutions that I will accept. This bill is worthless to me.

What about extreme violations of privacy? Let me know when that is "out", too.

In order to change the 2 party system, we require ranked choice voting. First-past-the-post voting only works when selecting between 2 choices.

Wait, what?? Zelenskyy took office after being democratically elected in 2019. Russia invaded Ukraine and annexed the Crimea region of Ukraine in 2014. Your timeline does not check out there.

The US has been involved in probably 300 regime changes throughout the world, has invaded many countries, including those that we were not affiliated with.

Absolutely fair point. I agree with you on this portion of your comment.

Oh no, I accidentally smudged a little bit of paint over the facial recognition camera lens... Oops!

The benefit of a space elevator is that the fuel is supplied by the ground and does not need to be carried as part of the payload. Remember in the rocket equation, most of the fuel is used for carrying just the mass of the fuel itself. A space elevator eliminates the rocket equation for lifting mass into orbit, and would be much more efficient than any rocket, reusable or not
