You are getting this from Xwayland, so you're running a rootless X server in the background. It's nice that it works seamlessly, but it's not really Wayland doing anything but managing the X window.

That's hilarious, but not really the same thing.

Unless you can launch offensive weapons at other racers or eat shrooms to speed up or literally launch your car off of a vertical ramp into the sky and it turns into a glider in Forza, I'm pretty sure these games aren't even in the same genre.

I had to give up on Soulslike games. It's not that I can't do it, it's that every boss makes me feel frustrated for 30 mins to an hour and I'm cursing a blue streak, pissed off when I'm supposed to be having fun. Not worth it to me or my blood pressure.

Pace makers keep you from dying so they're sort of on a different level of need. Also, if corps did planned obsolescence on one, you're probably not around to buy another.

If they were invented today, they would definitely have a predatory subscription model for "monitoring" your heart, or require occasional maintenance at cost to the end user.

Been listening to the 5-4 podcast about how much the Supreme Court sucks and it's been partisan bullshit forever, but yeah Citizens United will probably be considered the death of American Democracy (even though it was terminally ill beforehand).

The Court will literally just make up rules out of thin air to justify whatever the fuck they want.

Bah, Imperial Units all the way. How else would I know how many stone I weigh, or how many King's Pubes I am tall? I don't want to convert from kilometers (whatever those are!) to gentlemans-strides or shilling miles to get where I'm going.

Huh weird, these pull requests just magically accepted themselves

Even in the promos Kes is awkwardly tacked on.

Dallas is bigger than this map and 90% of it is parking lot or interstate.

That's an interesting thought. I've wondered this about Chrome's market share in browsers too. How much of it is just that so much traffic is now from phones where, even if you have another browser installed, apps open links in embedded Chrome web views.

I love IV and it's definitely the Trek movie that cheers me up the most, but Undiscovered Country is the best TOS movie. Great cast, huge canon implications, great sendoff.
