We generally put this kind of thing into a chat window and have people ‘thumbs up’ the ones they want to vote for. It’s not elegant, but it’s quick and gets the job done.

I would love to see more lanes, but buses make a lot more sense.

The good news is that buses do lead to better bike access, since it’s easy to carry a bike in the front of a bus.

All great points. That said, no one should feel sympathy for Disney’s profit margins.

They can and should spend less on anti-piracy measures to become more profitable.

And Disney could be 100% profit, overnight, while paying their actors and writers handsomely, if they just license their content to a streaming service that knows what they are doing.

FYI, there’s one key way that Discovery season 1 doesn’t feel like proper Trek that is a setup for a huge plot twist in season 2.

It might not redeem season 1 for you, of course. But it did for me.

I like to think the best we can hope for is that the speed of light limit is somehow naturally localized and the border to that localization is nearby enough for us to discover before we make ourselves extinct.

It’s not too likely, since there would probably be solid evidence of it already in the light at can see.

Oh well.

Wilsooooonnnnn!

“At Viridian Dynamics, we build our robots with ethical AI, whatever that means; so that humans and androids can live in peace - we hope.”

That’s a good point. No company has had a great time throwing their handheld into the market across from a Nintendo product.

Steamdeck and Evercade seem to be holding their own, at least.

Your note reads a lot like “let’s not let any of the measurably smart people be our leaders”. Might want to work on that elevator pitch.

Ssshh. Let’s not give away that little hint - there may be bosses present.

I learned Linux on the boss’ dime and it created tons of career opportunities.

Yeah, as the gap between paid OS and free ones narrows, we see the free ones in use in more and more contexts.

Cloud and phone went first, now it’s finally the year of the Linux desktop, again.

Yeah. It was embarrassing all those years we declared it the year of the Linux desktop, before. I’m glad we finally got there this year!

Bingo. Unionization is on the rise, so expect unending “economic collapse” headlines regardless of what is happening in the economy.

Plus on Pixel you can run GrapheneOS.

Dad voice:

Do we want innovation and increased prosperity instead of crime? Because this is how we get innovation and increased prosperity.

Send kids who started at a disadvantage to free college, you’re gonna get innovation and increased prosperity. There’s no getting around it. It’s gonna make everyone better off. I hope that’s what California wants, because that’s what they’re going to get.

I know it’s not a competition, but I bet O’Hare airport will win.

Same here, but I use EleventyJS as the Markdown to HTML step.

Thanks for sharing these. I was going to check them out, but yeah, Google Play store is disabled on my device, so the links don’t work.

An Aurora link to the app on Play would probably, or F-Droid, if it’s open source.

As a current Switch owner deciding what to pick up next time I spring for a new system, the lack of anything portable from Microsoft and Sony is kinda wild to me.

Honestly, if I had not been burned previously by Xbox losing my online purchases, I think I would consider buying an Xbox for game pass.

I don’t hate the concept, and I’ve heard great things about the Xbox game pass library.

I’m also not a big fan of not actually owning my games. I have 40 year old games that I still return to every year. The idea of finding something special on Gamepass and having it just disappear like a streaming show does… Not compelling to me.
