From the article:

“I do remember some discussion about whether we should include it, and some snarky laughter. But it was not intended as a joke. It was not inspired by any hot dog stands, and it was not included as an example of a bad interface—although it was one. It was just a garish choice, in case somebody out there liked ugly bright red and yellow.”

I did the same thing but with an old camping cooler. Works like a charm, and almost zero dollars.

This is such bullshit. Pointless manipulation of product offerings to hide the true cost, and thereby manipulate prices. I’ve been doing paper towel math like this for years and it drives me nuts. Grocery stores’ profit model is now almost entirely based on price manipulation and nothing else.

I wish I played the drums so I could play along with these. Enjoy!

This is 100% the plan. It’s a ‘when’ at this point, not an ‘if’, despite the extraordinary restraint displayed when dealing with these fuckwits to date.

Cool. Thanks for the explanation.

This is pretty cool!

Forgive my ignorance, but what/how would you use it to broadcast?

Orange boys are the best.

Interesting take. I definitely agree that the ease of “just do it in Windows” that comes with dual booting was a thing for me, in the years when I was dabbling and thinking about switching for good.

What finally motivated me was getting fed up enough with Windows and M$ to not care about possible collateral damage from switching full time to Linux. My switch was helped by the fact that I left a job with a lot of overtime work that needed to be done in Windows for corporate compatibility. Once I was free of that, my dependency on one or two critical Windows apps was gone, so it was easier to switch as well.

What I really enjoy is the freedom to keep exploring/learning/changing. I set up Home on a separate partition, so if I can distro-hop without too much downside,if and when I get bored.

Rest in piss.

Yep. Check out the ‘fuckai’ community for information on just exactly how far-fetched this scenario is.

I fucking love reading about stuff like this. I mean, i know anything mainstream with it is at least 10 years out, but these are the kind of changes that can revolutionize cooling across a ton of industries. Gives me hope.

Great talk, and very engaging on what can be a very dry subject. So many companies rushing to build AI into their products have utterly failed to consider much of this, which is one of the key factors contributing to the AI bubble.

In other news, Republican is a stupid fucking asshole.

Loved that show, but I don’t even want to watch it any more because I would just make myself sad.

Great!

Btw, how did you enter the spoiler tag? My lemmy client doesn’t seem to have one.

I tried VanillaOS for a bit but not for long enough to really get into it. One challenge I had was limited Linux experience, and Vanilla wrote their own everything. I found it to be a bit too much for the light experimenting I like to do.

Haven’t tried any others yet.

Good article, thanks for posting.

I had heard that Canada was a lentil powerhouse, so I set about finding a supply of black beluga lentils locally. (These are like the French ‘lentils de puy’ that stay whole when cooked and have a great texture - quite expensive when imported from France.) I found a shop in a farming community about an hour away, but when I got there I found I was buying their last 2 bags, and that they had discontinued that product. I’m stocked up now but don’t know if I’ll be able to get them again, despite being next door to Saskatchewan here in Alberta.

It’s a great example of the importance of supply chains - abundant resource relatively nearby, but largely unavailable nevertheless.

Great series and a great value. Happy to pick this one up - thanks for posting grrgyle.
