I play SSX 3 Gamecube like it’s my 2nd job.

Can’t help but feel like this is the market that exists for anything Pokémon adjacent because Pokémon has sucked ass for like a decade.

I run it as a docker app then feed it to Plex and jellyfin.

Thanks for posting that. That’s exactly where I’m at. I’ll suddenly play a ton on it for a week or two then not at all for a month. I’ll stick to the old one.

New one sounds great though. Good on Valve.

I have a Sanco2 heat pump water heater. The heat pump is located outside the house, with the tank in the basement (so no noise!). It is so absurdly efficient that I thought I was measuring the power draw wrong. Its expensive up front, but a big fat govt tax credit sure helped and the monthly power cost is about the same as my coffee maker.

The tank inside is 83 gallons. I can run the dishwasher, two showers, and anything else I can imagine and it handles it like a champ. The heat pump heats the water so fast that it refills it in minutes, not hours.

And since there’s no element or anything in the tank, there’s virtually nothing to break or fix in it. Nothing to rust, no joints to go bad. The tank is constructed solely for water in and out via pump and that’s it. It looks like a military designed tank because there’s no reason not to fortify it to last forever. So they did.

Between that and my induction range and heat pump AC/furnance, we turned off our natural gas connection. I love love love all of them.

They just implemented search and you have to opt in. There’s a value system in place that may change over time (many things do!), but that ain’t happening any time soon. It took a huge push to even allow search.

That’s right, there is no single vision. That’s why there’s so many different front ends. I currently pay $5/month to 4 different ones cause I like where they’re going. Which do you support?

So obviously we’re talking about it and you want one and there isn’t one. Why do you think that is? Do you think that maybe projects and protocols “speak” direction by the implementation? Do you think that the fact there’s a bunch of front ends and apps for Lemmy and Mastodon and all the rest and NONE of them have this feature might be a clue that the fediverse is trying to tell you something?

No, I mean, I guess “the fediverse” didn’t come right out and say it to me, but I guess I can read between the lines.

But I’m super excited to see your investment in what you want! Post back here with what you come up with.

Then you should make that!

An algo requires analyzing user data, which is exactly what the fediverse doesn’t want. There are front ends that surface popular Mastodon posts, but that’s about it and that’s how they like it.

I mean obviously if you can’t interact with some… fuck I don’t know how to say it nicely… some fuckhead ignorant asshole who’s there to fuck with people because they’re the lowest common denominator shithead…

then don’t do it.

I only had two real issues when I worked it in Texas in 2019 and 2020. The Republicans opened late for a primary and their voters were standing there waiting before work while they were fucking around. I called the SecState line and that shit was open like 3 mins later and suddenly those assholes had a purpose.

The other was an electioneering issue. A dude with signs all over his car for a Democrat parked in a school parking lot illegally, right next to the entrance. I called that one in and he realized I was doing it and actually got in my face and tried the whole intimidation thing. I’m a pretty big guy so I stood there and tried not to escalate by laughing at him, but he was by far the worst interaction I had and that was a Democrat.

Having said that, those kinds of issues were exceedingly rare.

If you care about this issue, you can go and be a part of the solution. Go to your state’s Secretary of State website and sign up to help.

I did it and it was super easy and a little boring.

This whole thing depends on normal ass people like you doing it. Give it a shot.

That’s not fair. You didn’t know her name until 5 mins ago, and neither did anyone else outside political spheres. She’s a placeholder candidate until a general election that already has some big hitters in the race. Her resume suggests she’s as locked in socially as any progressive could want. Her work with unions is unimpeachable and there’s no reason to believe she was the bad guy at Uber and Airbnb.

She should be offered the opportunity to speak to her role in those companies, and she should take it and give the people she now represents a fuller understanding of her work there, because its fair to want to know what it was.

Its fair to criticize if she doesn’t. Its fair to criticize if she mealy mouths it.

But its not fair to call her a corporate whore.

We should probably internalize that standing isn’t a thing anymore, along with precedent. On a positive note, it’ll mean quickly overturning when nutters lose the majority.

Which is gonna be a while.

Because its terrifying to drop $50k on a car whose future is tied to someone who is so obviously unhinged. Many companies are led by weirdos, but its a real problem when you don’t know if your car is going to work right based on the whims of said weirdo.

Also, Musk has absolutely lied his ass off for years about the capability of the car.

I owned a 2018 Model 3 LR and it was nothing but trouble. I couldn’t even use the cruise control because it would randomly smash the brakes on the freeway, even when there were no other cars around. My door panel would catch on the other panels when it opened, causing a decent sized dent. The trunk leaked. They would do updates that moved everything around and suddenly you can’t find the screen that opened the glove box. But it did make fart sounds hurr durr.

No thanks.

Impressed she made it so long before the overt corruption appeared.

Real hard to justify using it if privacy is your thing.

I know its way down the list of his credits, but i thought he was amazing in Layer Cake.

Same here. Gave up and went fastmail. Love em.

We moved from Houston to Seattle and we adore all the seasons here. Spring comes just as the winter feels like its dragging on. First the daffodils, then the tulips, then cherry blossoms explode! Then its summer and camping every weekend and Rainier and North Cascades and just go go go the entire time. Then fall comes and I fall over from exhaustion. Its time to put in the order for tea for the winter and catch up on all the shows we missed and all the board games we haven’t been playing and just relaxing. Just when I’m tiring of the cold and the wet, the first daffodils pop up and we do it all over again.
