If you would like to show people a great and easy way to try out some free and open source software on windows, I highly recommend ruckzuck.

It’s an all-in-one downloadable portable that lets you browse through a large variety of the various FOSS programs that are available for Windows, conveniently sorted into their general use purpose and then with a quick easy blurb explaining what the software does and allowing you to install it with a couple of clicks.

Further, if you already have some of this software installed, it will scan your system and if there is an update available it allows you to apply all of the updates with a single click.

It has become my go-to software for setting up new computers, and I cannot recommend it enough.

It starts small.

Use FOSS. If you have a few spare ducats, throw it the way of the developers who make the software you use.

Encourage the use of FOSS at your work. Be a gentle evangelist for FOSS when it is appropriate and useful.

Everyone doesn’t have to use Arch and hand code their own kernels to win. All that has to happen is for Microsoft and Apple to realize that their current superiority is under siege and that if they do not comply with the desires of their users they will eventually be ousted.

Hopefully more people will start to use Linux. When there are more Linux users than Apple users that will be a good start, and with all of the enshittification Microsoft is adding to their flagship os, it has never been easier or more convenient to try a Linux.

Thank you for the clarification

Why. What happens during that time?

Why that date specifically?

Too bad that if the motion gets denied, chances are the jurors will never hear that Disney pulled this shit in the first place.

If I knew that I would do my best to give a hundred million dollars to the plaintiffs because Disney can afford it and they should be punished for being dick heads and that would be within our power as a jury to do.

I would say even one a year would be too much.

That unless the business has failed and is no longer operating, for a merger and acquisition to occur they would have to petition the courts for permission first.

Imagine the shit that Microsoft and Google and Adobe and Amazon would be doing if they had to start their companies from scratch and compete against the already extant players in the field?

It would create so many jobs, and create an excess of consumer choice opportunity, lowering prices and fighting against inflation far more than a couple of percentage points on the interest rate index ever would.

I’m tired of only being offered incredibly overpriced very shitty low quality options in every single category.

We don’t need $100,000 cars. We need $5,000 cars.

We don’t need $1,000,000 homes, we need $25,000 homes that anyone in America who works a full-time job regardless of if they’re slinging fries at McDonald’s or digging ditches can afford.

We don’t need $100 a week grocery bills. We need $5 a week grocery bills.

Yahoo mail. Although I did literally just delete it off my phone because it was complaining that I didn’t check my SPAM messages frequently enough.

He was incredibly prolific but I have heard of very little of anything he had ever done.

Although I do note that there are some similarities between some of his work and some of dragon Ball and dragon Ball z, and I do not know if this is because they are drawing from similar sources in Japanese mythology or what.

Here’s a list of his work: https://tezukaosamu.net/en/manga/?c=90

Yes.

Find yourself a lawyer that has good references with you know several tens of millions of dollars of successful verdicts in their favor that does we don’t collect unless you win law services.

Even if they don’t accept you, they will likely refer you to another lawyer that they have worked with in the past that they have good rapport with.

They’ll probably take 35 to 45% of the win, but if they’re good enough law firm there’s a good chance your former employer will settle and you’ll have cash in your hand within a year.

I do have a pretty solid complaint about back to the Future part 2, because if Marty goes into the future he should arrive in a future where he disappeared back in 1985.

They really should have introduced a new protagonist just for that section, otherwise it’s not internally consistent with itself.

And public defenders are human beings as well, if you can make yourself a human being to them and not just a task they have to complete in order to get a paycheck then you stand a much better chance of getting high quality representation.

The thing I’m learning is that if someone falls in love with you while you’re trying your hardest to be lovable, they may not continue to love you when you start to get comfortable and be yourself.

Don’t put energy into a relationship that you cannot sustain or the relationship will fizzle out as soon as you do.

When you go all out, make sure that they are aware on some level that you are going all out and this is a special occasion and not the mandatory minimum.

And if you find yourself putting unsustainable energy into a relationship, that is a gigantic red flag that you yourself need to pay attention to. If the fire won’t stay lit unless you keep pouring gas on it, the fire needs to go out.

Diane Duayne’s Young Wizard series, at least the first three books. I have really good memory of books and so it’s difficult for me to read any book more than once but I’ve read them tens of times.

There’s always something new to discover. It’s honestly a really good and well-written series.

This actually is true. There’s a part of your brain that works really hard when you’re exposed to new information and it needs time to take that information and codify it.

If you do something difficult mentally, and then take a break, and then come back and do it again 12 or 24 hours later it will be easier and you will be better at it.

Given that they have pushed this bill I don’t know like what is this the sixth go round, I’m sure that there is actually nothing good in this bill for the average American internet user.

At the same time I’m sure it’ll be very good for the average American corporate technological oligopoly.

I saw it too though.

BMW driver clearly had their left turn signal on. For like 8 miles. And then came to a near stop on a green to make a right-hand turn.

If they’re rolling downhill with a good breeze behind them

It’s sort of like how you can create a pretty good text message on your phone using voice to text but no courtroom is allowing AI transcription.

There’s still too much risk that it will capitalize the wrong word or replace a word that’s close to what was said or do something else wholly unconceived of to trust it with our legal process.

If they could guarantee a 100% accurate transcription of spoken word to text it would put the entire field of Court stenographers out of business and generate tens of millions of dollars worth of digital contracts for the company who can figure it out.

Not going to do it because even today a phone can’t tell the difference between the word holy and the word holy. (Wholly)

I tried some recreational stimulants once and sat in a corner and wrote.

That was how I learned that I had ADHD.
