Sadly was taken over and no longer has the iconic voice and music. Now it’s just some crap TTS without the same level of whimsy.

I’ve been running an M1 for years now. So tired of the argument that Mac is underpowered. No, it’s not a video editing/compiling/gaming powerhouse, but it more than makes up for it with an 8+ hour battery life, best-in-class display, and silent running, going on 5 years now.

It still handles everything I throw at it just fine. If I need to bust out the compute power, Mac just isn’t the right rig for it. But that doesn’t make them useless.

Y’all need to take some time away from the internet if a random meme about an open-source operating system you’ve not heard of negatively affects your state of mind.

I mean, that’s their model, yeah. That’s exactly what it is.

Exactly what I was thinking. If I were to be angry enough about this when it actually mattered and I could have steered the boat, I was way too young too even see that it was happening.

Not to say I don’t actively pursue and promote OSS all the time, but I feel like the impact is so much more minimal than it could have been.

An option is tritium vials. They’re pretty cheap on eBay and last something like 7 or 8 years.

They couldn’t afford enough electricity to run it in-house so now they just run a mandated botnet to make you pay for it instead. If this isn’t a page out of a George Orwell novel, it should have been.

Sounds like they successfully shielded them from vaccines. Just so happens getting diseases is the direct result of that.

Liquid Death has some great low-sugar sodas. I’ve been a strong fan of their Doctor Death. Their tea is also super low in sugar.

I was really sad when CTR and Ratchet & Clank stayed on PlayStation. Those were some of the best reboots in ages and I don’t really want to have to keep my PS4 setup just to play those.

Heck, they won’t even let you into a difficult-to-cancel subscription! What are they thinking? Think of the revenue!

 

I could see it going either way.

With free access, people would be more inclined to go to the doctor for simple and small things, but in return would probably catch more serious issues early and have better access to treatment, therefor reducing the need for intensive and specialized healthcare.

Without, people avoid going to the doctor for small stuff, but end up having to go in with more complicated issues later on.

 
 

I have to reject any that don’t make the cut.
