This.

apologyI couldn't resisit adding a quick low effort comment to emphasize your point. I'll see myself out.

These are mostly very popular, very well attended liberal demonstrations. Is it a big deal that there is digital evidence that you were in the area at that time?

This is a "remind me in five years" question.

Probably we turn this thing around and nobody gets disappeared for their phone records showing attendance of a peaceful protest.

But that "probably" is doing a shit ton of lifting in the previous sentence.

Dragon OSHA is on their way, now.

Yes.

Well... Twice now, I guess.

don't just vaguely support outcomes, support the steps needed to achieve them

Some of us need to start by building agreement on the outcomes.

This is good awareness to raise. The US can and should do better, on this metric.

Needlessly leaving people in poverty isn't just unethical, it's foolish.

Fair, but there's a worse experience possible.

For a time, many people's first encounter with vi was when it auto-opened a temporary editor to ask them to submit a commit message for the git command they just ran.

This experience skips the vi "welcome" screen, because a file is open.

As a bonus challenge, git did not inform the user what editor is in use, and the user had no particular reason to even expect an editor to appear, based on what they were just doing.

None of this was the fault of vi, really. But it was a terrible introduction.

It got better when various operating systems changed their default command line editor to nano, and git added some helpful adjustments - "if certain settings are not configured, assume a new user and show verbose welcome messages".

Yes. The waterfall version should just leave off the completed car.

Kids are wild.

I have cared for one who sensibly decided to watch what I ate to learn what is food.

I have cared for another - equally smart in other ways - who would not take my word that rocks are not food, but insisted on trying them anyway.

One just never knows what kind of little person they will be.

This is an exciting update!

I've been wanting to play Satisfactory on SteamDeck, but the controls/user interface were low quality to the point of unplayability.

I hope they decide it's okay to highlight things I should trying clicking on. It doesn't break immersion to live in a sci-fi galaxy where space engineers also have taken some accessibility training.

I really want to play through Satisfactory, so I love to see this effort to make it SteamDeck ready.

Nice. Let's balance this out a bit at the other end:

98 - A scroll containing a detailed plan to burn down the nearest orphanage.

99 - Pockets full of napkins inscribed with insane anti-gnome racist gibberish.

100 - A magic communication stone that, if activated, creates a magic audio connection with the lead villain of the current story arc.

For the younger folks, who missed the annoyance - it felt like that doughboy was in about 75% of all advertisement minutes, at his peak.

Lots of folks wanted to do more than poke his little CGI belly.

Given time and healing, I no longer loathe that little thing, but this still kind of works for me as surrealist humor.
