If anything is close to having a consciousness and experiencing an array of emotion, including suffering. That's a mushroom, much more than a plant.

I'm sorry, I'm of the mind of not endorsing with my use, the products of those who want me dead.

No, I read both fiction and nonfiction with reckless abandon. No CGI can compete with my imagination.

First season was pure gold, but everything afterward has been a slow decline. I would rather argue in favor of Andor. That show was way better than anything since episode VI.

Undo is a function of the Android API, not the keyboard. All phones can do it. It is usually the app's responsibility to implement its button because the feature extends beyond the realm of text input.

Have you considered that maybe he was talking with the convoy to coordinate movements or was receiving aid? The LAF is the authority in the area and responsible for security in the country. The red cross would talk to them to secure access and ensure mobility for the aid. Israel is not fighting the LAF. They just want to kill. There are at least 3 well IHL defined war crimes in this event alone.

Oh look, more documented war crimes committed in broad daylight that Israel will refuse to investigate and will threaten anyone who tries to prosecute their leaders for them.

Playing Windows only games from the epic store on a steam deck running Linux is a weird but pretty awesome flex. Emulating Nintendo games on it is the ultimate fuck you to Nintendo.

I actually like it. Less episodes works fine for me as long as good stories are being told. I'm awfully busy, I can't dedicate much time to TV. I actually have the same thing with video games. I'd rather dedicate my time to quality self contained experiences like miniseries, than to drawn out mindless background noise levels of infinite content. I got podcasts, streamers and music to fill the silence. I no longer feel the appeal of 15 seasons of 24 episodes of 40 min each for that.

They're already consolidating in streaming services that bundle content packs.

We all know Dutch isn't real, it's a prank played by the Dutch people on the rest of the world.

The curved edges were the precursor tech to having a foldable screen. No matter what is said about the Apple vs. Samsung debate, Samsung is still the one responsible for the praises on Apple's screens. They have tried with other manufacturers and providers but can't escape the fact that Samsung is still the major leader on displays as they dump a shit ton of money on R&D on all LED screen technologies, specially manufacturing at scale. If you want high end screens, you just go with Samsung, period. The alternatives are constantly playing catch up with them and they are actually experimenting and trying to come up with new and original stuff. LG and Sharp are also really good, but their screens aren't as premium as Apple wants them to be, though they are more affordable.

The games industry sucks (www.youtube.com)

Same title as the video. Game dev writer Alanah Pierce offers her POV on the recent layoffs from Epic Games.

This is one of the few industries that consistently and continuously posts record profits while also firing everyone who put in the work to make the success possible.

 

I don't mean system files, but your personal and work files. I have been using Mint for a few years, I use Timeshift for system backups, but archived my personal files by hand. This got me curious to see what other people use. When you daily drive Linux what are your preferred tools to keep backups? I have thousands of pictures, family movies, documents, personal PDFs, etc. that I don't want to lose. Some are cloud backed but rather haphazardly. I would like to use a more systematic approach and use a tool that is user friendly and easy to setup and program.
