Except since 5.1 I get soft locks on loading screens running via Proton Experimental. I wish their native support wasn't so awful and dated.
Sorry, I absolutely did not mean to minimize the struggles of anyone else. So much of our situations are dependent on factors that just can't broadly apply across such a broadly defined demographic.
I'm in the income bracket described here (certainly not "wealthy") and while I wouldn't say i am struggling, I have had to cut down on some extraneous spending. Nothing like what most people are facing though.
Yeah, at White Castle you have to at least use one of those tiny napkins to wipe up after.
This makes me unreasonably angry. I used to have a Chilean Rose Hair Tarantula and they are super cool and delicate little things who do not want to hurt you (except mine thought my hand was another female spider and would rear up if I reached into her environment).
Anyway, Tarantulas are amazing and this woman is a psycho who should also be charged with animal cruelty.
The district is extremely rural and Republican and the opposition to Boebert were unable to coalesce around any one candidate, thus splitting the slightly less crazy vote. Let's be clear here though, none of the other candidates were good picks either.
If you ask most LLMs questions on a topic you are an expert at, you will quickly notice that they provide surface-level data. They are the AI equivalent of bullshitting your way through a paper.
I don't have any ethical issues with it, I just don't find meat appetizing anymore. I'm all for having the option for people who want it though.
Benedict and Francis are allies in the church, of course they are both awful in private. It's weird that people think they are different.
A 5-4 door.

This is incredibly short-sighted. Having your business model hitched to a single vendor is just asking to screwed by whatever walled garden that vendor puts up. There's a reason Valve is pushing Linux.
Reliable demographics or voting blocks get preferential treatment over fair-weather voters. If you want to know why even the GOP won't overtly kill social security or medicare (unless they include a way to keep current recipients on benefits), it's because old people vote very reliably. Though with the modern day cultists this isn't as true anymore since MAGAs will happily let the GOP take everything from them if they think it will hurt their perceived political enemies.
This is just useful expenditure of political capital. As a politician you want to stick your neck out for groups that are definitely showing up.
Politicians famously consider the opinions of people who don't vote. /s
I know it's WindowsCentral but the article has some pretty naive takes. Given the propensity of threat actors to target Windows due to its market share it's impossible to not see a system that records user activity as a huge treasure trove for both malware and hackers.
It also doesn't mention that Microsoft claimed that it would be impossible to exfiltrate Recall data and of course researchers found it not only possible but trivial, with the data lacking even basic protections. Assurances that there are mechanisms to prevent Recall from secretly monitoring you mean nothing when prior assurances about safety have been found to be paper thin at best.
Further it ignores that telemetry gathered by Windows has dramatically increased in the last several years with methods to disable it being eliminated or undone by OS updates. Microsoft is hungry for user data and it would be absurdly naive to think that Recall won't be a tool they use to gain more of it. If not now, then definitely later.
The author does point out that Recall has been weirdly under wraps, avoiding the usual test bed for new feature rollout. Microsoft has been acting shady about the feature and then the feature itself does shady things (like record PII, credit card data, etc.), of course users are going to think the worst. At this point it's a survival tactic.
Microsoft doesn't have trust issues because of bad PR or a few missteps. Microsoft has trust issues because they have violated user trust repeatedly for decades. They have done nothing to make users feel like they care at all about keeping Windows secure and safe and they clearly have no regard for user privacy. This only question is whether this backlash will do anything to make Microsoft reconsider the way it treats its users. I predict they will learn all the wrong lessons from this.
Things are starting to improve on that front, at least on the OS level, even the Arch community is more welcoming these days. There is still a ton of gatekeeping in certain areas, though. Ask a beginner question on WineHQ sometime, for example.
Clemency is a useful tool, it just needs reform. Some states require it to go through a committee rather than just handing the power to a single official. There are probably other ways to curtail abuse as well.
