trying to solve a parenting problem with technology

That was never the goal, just the excuse.

Gonna be weird to age verify yourself to use a smart thermostat.

Why is it CALLED intelligent?

Because it is "intelligent" by definition. You're conflating the word with "highly intelligent" or just "smart".

Dogs are "intelligent" but can't they write code, but we sometimes refer to dogs as "smart".

A flatworm has intelligence but no one would call it smart.

Is that the show with the liars and thieves?

Is anything in the tech world interesting or good any more?

Steam Machine?

you might find a priest that tells you to stop smoking for your health no matter how you phrase the question about lighting up and prayer. What people are receptive to is going to vary.

Ya, I've read the thing about praying and smoking in another comment. The funny thing is that I have very specific opinions about smoking and would argue that smoking while praying is disrespectful, but God would listen in any case.

Are we surprised some people's thought processes and decision making might turn extreme when exposed to this?

Yes, actually. I'm not doubting the power of language, but I cannot ever see something anyone ever says alter my sense of reality or right from wrong.

I had a "friend" say to me recently "why do you always go against the grain?" My reply was "I will go against the grain for the rest of my life if it means doing or saying what's right".

I guess my point is that I have a very hard time relating to this.

Would you also claim the diesel cars are worthless because you can't use regular gas in them? No, I thought so

Photoshop is trash.

Minecraft works just fine (it's Java for crying out loud)

Steam works natively. Valve's most popular hardware device runs Linux.

Media player classic

You want to use a garbage Windows built-in application on Linux?

without having to deal with work around and terminal garbage as easy as I can windows?

Two things here;

  1. You can get around on Linux without a terminal

  2. The terminal is king in functionality

  3. Windows requires a command line for many things also, this isn't a Linux only thing

If you come to Linux expecting it to work like Windows and run all Windows applications, then you're setting yourself up for failure with bad-faith expectations.

the measles attacked antigen-presenting dendritic cells which interacts with memory b-cells hence the "wiping out the immunity"

And once this happens, a trivial cold can become deadly.

You have Google. It's called immune amnesia, look it up. It's not some fringe theory. It's established science regarding measles.

the majority of influencer videos about linux during that period praised only CachyOS

Proof? Because the majority of ones I saw recommended Mint consistently.

and I bet most of them reverted back to windows

So no proof, just personal biases then.

In English language installs, Linux went up from 7% to 8%. The dip is due to an influx of Chinese users. Happens every year during Lunar New Year.

 

I'm sure we all know about the low audience scores given to The Acolyte. Rotten Tomatoes was sitting down at 14% since around the third episode, and was that low up until at least the last episode. Now that it's nearly a week out from the season finale, I figured I'd take another look.

The Rotten Tomatoes score has gone up to 17% and other review platforms have gone up a bit also.

So I decided to read through a few of the recent ones. Here are two examples:

Screenshot 2

The showrunners accuse fans of "review bombing" but are apparently just fine with artificial review boosting. I saw a bunch of these double reviews and nearly every single one talked about things like diversity, a "fresh take", production values, etc, all in that typical bland corporate-speech type of language.

Whereas the negative reviews are detailed and specific without ever getting into racism, bigotry, sexism, or other things fans are often accused of. If you read through the negative reviews they are often well thought out criticisms of the story itself and the quality of acting.

I just wanted to bring this fake review boosting to the community's attention. If you enjoyed the show, that's awesome. But it's dishonest to dilute honest and fair criticisms of a show.

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get some input on my pepper plants. Last year all my vegetable plants were explosive in growth and produce. This year they've been a bit stressed by the early heat we've had (southern Ontario) but otherwise doing well. Everything from cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, carrots, lettuce, garlic, and onions are doing well.

My pepper plants, on the other hand, look terrible.

Initially I thought they were just extremely stressed from the heat, but I noticed a few of them (not pictured) are doing fine. What clicked in my head today is that the ones that are doing ok I grew from seed, and the rest are from garden centres (a semi-private one and a commercial one).

From my zero-level knowledge and subsequent Googling the answer is:

  • Too much heat
  • Too much water
  • Too little water
  • Exposure to herbicide

It's the last one that really raised my eyebrows, and seems to fit based on photos.

Anyone have any insight on this? Thanks in advance.
