And macaws squawk.

The “s” is for “seriously”

Short answer: you’d be in a gay relationship (assuming you identify as male). Whether you take the label “homosexual” or not is up to you. The labels matter less than you and your partner communicating well.

I used to take at least an hour to fall asleep. Then I had two kids. I can now fall asleep within a minute or two.

Worth it.

'bout time. Glad to hear it.

Don’t need to guess. It took me many years to realize elevator shafts could hold more than one elevator car.

Why are people still buying shit from Sony? It would be less work to just flush your cash directly down the shitter.

I’ve considered looking into some sort of faraday bag to disrupt ones that can’t be easily isolated.

Those discussions happened and people got tired of having them. It’s a bit like having prostelitizers come to your door–chances are, you know how that discussion is going to go and would rather not waste everyone’s time and energy.

The people who are in denial about what the government could do or has done are not going to be convinced of anything by having a discussion about it–they abandoned reason decades ago.

Two reasons:

1. The feature likely won’t work as well as you might think. What happens when you leave for 10 minutes to get some lunch, and that’s when your boss’s boss checks your location and it says you’re working from home or something. And now you get written up because you’re supposed to be in the office three days per week. I get this is a specific and convoluted example, but stuff like this happens–a feature is released, and management is too stubborn to take things with a grain of salt (or they otherwise won’t consider the limitations).

2. You’re assuming they’re only using your location data to update your in/out status. Neither MS nor your employer will ever be content to only use limited information when they have access to more. And while it would be somewhat limited if it were only on work devices, understand that a lot of employers expect people to install this shit on their personal devices (I was the only holdout in my department who wouldn’t/couldn’t install MS authenticator on my phone, it was a whole thing).

I’ve only had one exposure with a multi-head printer, and it was incredibly messy. No matter what settings I used, there ended up being drips from the unused nozzle.

My most recent printer is an Anycubic Kobra Max 3, and I’d take the wasted filament over the sloppy prints any day. It’s a bed slinger, so maybe not what you had in mind, but they do make one with an enclosure.

If you walk into someone’s home and it’s full of the latest and greatest tech, that’s a tech enthusiast. If you walk in and the most advanced piece of tech is a printer from 2005, that might be a senior software engineer.

As an engineer, I can understand your sentiment. Unfortunately, it’s a field that attracts a lot of smart and socially awkward people. Those whose heads enjoy engineering challenges often lack self awareness, and it results in either being really awkward or being obnoxious, or both. The “good ones” are less loud, so you don’t hear from them as much.

Marketing is an industry built around manipulating people to buy things they otherwise wouldn’t be interested in buying. There’s no redeeming quality; the entire premise is shitty.

Information pollution.

Saying “AI pollution” would be like saying “microplastics pollution” – we generally refer to the thing being polluted, not the pollutant.

You might be able to use something like distrobox instead of a full VM. That would at least put it in a container that you could either run from an encrypted partition or something.

Different users would be the “simple” way you’d normally do something like this under Linux. But if your regular users have sudo access, you can’t really lock anything down.

Pain. It notifies you that your body is injured in some way, and generally in what area so that you can do something about it.

That being said, I think your original premise is oversimplified. I agree that emotions aren’t instructions, but they’re more than notifications–they’re part of the inner workings of our brains that can happen for a multitude of reasons. The common denominator is that most of them help us survive in some way.

Believing that poverty is a moral failure. Though that’s been an issue for millenia.

My only hope with this is that MS doesn’t have a complete hold on the gaming market anymore. Valve has to hold some serious sway at this point, and MS doing that might backfire on them.
