And if their percentage was unreasonably high, their competitors would sell at lower prices. Strangely, they don’t. Which tells us that Tim’s complaints are nothing but bullshit.

Contrary to fact hypothesizing.

Two things are always true about Rand Paul:

• He clutches his pearls about the unethical behavior of his party and how it has morally lost its way

• He will only actually take measures or vote to oppose its actions when his protest is symbolic and won’t interfere with the party’s agenda

He’s basically the male Susan Collins.

For myself, I make sure I’ve done my due diligence before I might accuse someone of dishonesty, rather than making a minimum effort.

I’ve burned out on LKML and many many other parts of the FOSS world. It’s exhausting. As such, I will not be working on Linux for asus device. It’s not something I can devote huge chunks of time to for free anymore.

Thank you everyone who has donated something over the last years.

Toyota is behind everyone else on electric vehicles, so any politician that slows or stops EVs is a friend to Toyota.

Also, green policies favor the adoption of mass transit and other viable alternatives to driving, which is again a danger to Toyota’s bottom line.

For example, the developer of asus-linux.org who made the kernel contributions for Asus ROG laptops and the accompanying ROG Control Center recently walked away, due to exhaustion.

What’s wrong with original Syncthing? Why would anyone use a fork?

At the same time, the government here in the Netherlands has ruled that being a trans person in the US is not enough persecution to qualify for asylum or refugee status.

Double whammy.

I’m in the last chapter of Sea of Stars. It’s been decent. I like the pixel art, and the combat loops were challenging enough without being a grind. The plot for the first 2/3 of the game was fairly cutesy but bland. I’m basically grabbing the last few unlockable skills and items before going to the final boss, and I doubt I will try the post-finish addon content.

I think next I’m going to try… The Witcher 3. I’ve tried to start this game multiple times on PC, modding it and everything. I like the books, played the first two games, but these days I have no interest in sitting at my desk (where I work) in my off hours - I like laying on the couch playing my Switch Lite.

There’s a huge difference between a piece of data being recorded in a SIEM somewhere and the data being displayed up front all of the time for micro managers to pounce on.

They aren’t sending their best.

My Mastodon instance is working just fine.

Unfortunately, this strategy didn’t work to prevent my kid from having the same milk allergy that I do. In fact, it’s worse.

Not fatal or anything. His lips become bright red, swelling slightly and peel later, he obviously gets days of the shits, and if it’s repeated exposure he will get rashes all over. And we’re talking some small amount of milk powder or unexpected butter deep in the ingredients of a baked good - if he actually consumed something like real milk, butter, or cheese, it would be much worse.

Goat cheese seems fine. It’s something about the cow milk proteins.

For me, it’s just a serious case of the shits when it’s the real deal. I guess my millennial upbringing of a glass of milk daily conditioned some small amount of tolerance.

“Don’t discourage our highly addictive product”

Right, the constituents of the state are being deprived of Constitutional representation. Filing the suit is the correct course toward rectifying this, not making a press statement.

Not terribly far these days. Nearly all of my travel is by walking or cycling.

Although over the next week, I will be travelling by train a few times to a city 30km away and back. And then to a city 500km away and back. But those are very tourist trips.

Dumb ploy in favor of the meat lobby. Consumers aren’t confused, they clearly know it’s a different product than meat. Stores put it in a separate section. We have hundreds of products with non-literal names to help consumers understand what they are trying to be.

The reality is that meat agriculture is bad for the environment, bad for public health (both individual health and for how it spreads disease), and is less shelf stable. It isn’t going anywhere, though, so stop trying to put barriers in front of better choices.

Eternity. It’s open source

Mostly a cheat, though, because the music is Radiohead.

LazyLibrarian is fantastic for ebooks. Basically useless for audiobooks. I’ve found the entire *arr stack seems ill suited for audiobooks.
