And other major expansions for elden ring and FFXIV released recently. There’s potential overlap in the player base. 90% is a big dip though.

Hell yeah - this is great news.

This view is close minded.

The Librem 5 is a Linux phone that the reviewer tried to use as their daily driver for a week. However, they found several issues that made it impractical for regular use including poor battery life, a subpar camera without basic features, and lack of compatibility with many popular apps. The reviewer also noted problems with the phone randomly powering off and convergence mode with the next dock being unstable. While the reviewer thought the Librem 5 was a cool device, they ultimately decided it was not ready to replace their main phone due to these limitations and instability issues. The reviewer expressed interest in reviewing other Linux phones if provided to them.

Anyways - the way this webpage is laid out is weird and the ai picked up multiple stories, but the stories are all there if you bother to continue scrolling

So much to digest in this article it’s unreal (the comment below is AI generated and picks up everything in this weirdly laid out news site):

• Donald Trump compared his legal troubles to Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s imprisonment and death in a Russian penal colony, drawing criticism for minimizing Navalny’s plight.
• Republicans have touted claims by Alexander Smirnov about Biden corruption in Ukraine, but he has now been charged with lying to the FBI and admitted Russian intelligence helped him smear Hunter Biden.
• A transgender teenager named Nex Benedict was beaten at their Oklahoma school and later died, highlighting the dangers transgender students face, especially after Oklahoma’s anti-trans bathroom bill.
• Yulia Navalnaya, wife of slain Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, was temporarily banned from Twitter for unclear reasons after posting a video accusing Putin of killing her husband.
• Bernie Moreno, a Republican Senate candidate in Ohio, suggested women don’t need abortions and that men should help carry heavy items like strollers instead.
• Christian nationalist figures like Russell Vought seek to infuse their ideology more deeply into a potential second Trump administration.
• E. Jean Carroll’s lawyer hinted they may sue Donald Trump for a third time if he continues denying the rape and defaming her after being ordered to pay $88 million.
• Samuel Alito complained that people who oppose homosexuality are unfairly branded as bigots.
• Donald Trump was reportedly obsessed with punishing Snoop Dogg in his final White House hours over past criticisms.
• Hunter Biden’s lawyers argue the investigation against him included factual errors like mistaking sawdust for cocaine.

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. You’re not off base. My family is Hispanic and my mom would love it if I lived with her till I’m 40.

I recently read that data collection/sale as an “edge service” has been a part of Toyota’s strategy for a hot minute.

“You may not be surprised that a company like Toyota uses technology it installs in all the cars it sells in Japan to produce data that powers its onboard GPS service. You may be more interested to know that Toyota recognized that the value of this data was not uniquely associated with its primary use. As we will discover in chapter 8, this insight enabled Toyota to successfully launch a new business offering traffic telematics services to businesses and municipalities across Japan using the same data.”

Weirdly hostile, but ok. It’s like any other tool that can be used to accelerate a process. Hopefully at some point it’s useful enough to streamline the minutia of boring tasks that a competent intern could do. Not sure who is specifically targeting welders??

If it frees up your time to focus on more challenging stuff or stuff you enjoy, isn’t that a good thing? Folks are dynamic and will adjust, as we always have.

Don’t think there’s a good excuse to come at someone with animosity over this topic.

Haley’s stated view that states can legally secede goes against the established precedent set after the American Civil War, which was fought over the issue of states seceding from the Union.

This article discusses reactions from some Fox News commentators to the possibility of Taylor Swift endorsing President Biden in the 2024 election. Sean Hannity, Jeanine Pirro, and others on Fox News urged Swift not to get involved in politics. Some speculated that Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce was engineered by Democrats. Hannity drew a connection between Swift and George Soros, noting Soros’ son helped fund the sale of Swift’s song catalog. However, not all at Fox News were negative - sports analyst Jay Glazer praised Swift as a “genius” and saw nothing problematic about her or the NFL. In summary, several Fox News personalities strongly discouraged Swift from supporting Biden, while at least one commentator admired her musical talents.

Grilled veggies, crispy garbanzo, some Greek yogurt and zaatar. Super quick and easy.

Got it, thanks!

Cool, cool - so are we gonna tax it or what? Folks hiding the money should be penalized for avoiding taxes, right?

The bank paying a penalty of $122.9M is more than double the taxes they would have paid otherwise ($50M). That seems appropriate.

The extra tax revenue will be used to build schools, roads, needed infrastructure? Probably not!
