I just replaced the battery in my wife's 2013 mbp. macos runs like absolute shit on it, so i'm excited to flash linux. I like fedora but thinking i'll start with LDME

bro you're saying this as a fun anecdote but i'm not from america and this is terrifying

Sadly it was largely downhill from there. Still watched it all tho because I’m sorkin-pilled

I’ll advocate for the CCC Firefox extension, but email alerts are the big ticket item. If I know there’s something I want to buy, I’ll set myself a price that I think is reasonable and just wait until I receive an email saying it’s hit that range.

Complicit. But complacently so.

It's a reference to Abraham Lincoln's first inaugural address:

"I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

I’m not allowed to do my full-time job from any other computer besides the windows one assigned to me.

I bought a 14 pro and gave my nephew my X. Besides the island and the camera quality they are largely indistinguishable for almost all of my use-cases. And they are almost 5 years apart.

if the lens you view novels through is art then this will upset you. If the lens you’re viewing them through is as information that is to be ingested, this will do just fine.

Books are allowed to be verbose and take risks in language, but I’d argue that in transferable information it’s inefficient.

With the single example provided I’d say it did okay. Obviously in context that may change, but I don’t see this as much different from someone reading cliffs notes or something like blinkist.

The article confused me, all 3 sentences. The article makes zero reference to Godzilla/monsterverse outside of the title. So legendary are trying to bulk up the impact of 2 announcements by making it seem like 1 film? Idk

I thought your argument was that the movie industry isn’t immune to enshittification? I was pointing out how you’re correct by using a quote from a film exec that proves your point. Films are a business, and if businesses want to make money then they have to appeal to audiences, so course correction is possible. I’m allowed to live in my duality.
