Yeah I don’t have the time to do that right now, but it’s mullvad and time to learn self-hosting for me.

As a proton customer, I share this sentiment… (Exasperated Siiiiiigggghhhh)

Words fail me right now, all I can think is: AaaaahhhAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

This is straight-up child abuse.

So the mechanic of this game is you have to collect jewels for a royal whilst they struggle to escape from the hordes of “rocks” blocking their exit for some reason?

I’m starting to think that this game is from the royal’s perspective and the “rocks” aren’t to be taken literally.

Not so much a hero but I admired his work the projects he is associated with: Elon regarding Tesla & Space X.

I had heard that he was a bit of a nightmare to work with but I just chalked that up to the usual tech CEO being a bit of an arsehole but still delivering the vision. So admired the projects but wouldn’t personally work for him.

The first time I came across something that gave me the impression something was off with him was when he called one of the Thai cave divers a pedo after the diver rejected using an unproven single person extraction canister Elon proposed.

It was just so uncalled for. Then the more I read and saw stories about him my opinion of him wained further down to a spoilt nepo-baby cosplaying as a design engineer who’d do best to get out of the way of the actual engineers trying to do the work.

Now I think the world would be better off without him and I hope the talented engineers currently work for him leave to find fulfilling employment elsewhere in the space and electrification industries as soon as possible.

Technically they haven’t paid for the feature yet, it just so happens that it’s cheaper to manufacture without having a second line of non-heated seats which makes me think “why not just include heated seats (and enabled) as standard?”

Edit: Why am I being downvoted? I’m only pointing out that if BMW wanted to have a heated/non-heated seat options it costs more to set up and operate a separate manufacturing line to support both options. That’s just a fact of running production lines.

Furthermore I’m questioning their business logic here with going with the subscription model because, as shown in the thread here, it only generates negative press, so why even bother with the subscription model and just have heated seats as standard. No subscription model for hardware BS needed, it makes the brand look more luxurious, and it’d be a great selling point in the dealerships to say “all these bad bois come with heated seats as standard”.

They can just adjust the baseline cost to include the heated seats if they need to preserve that margin.

Could be worse, if they rolled out an AI to Rochdale it’d turn more racist than Grok faster than Tay did.

They have the national railway museum there too, and once a year there’s Yorvik, a Viking festival. York’s a cool place.

Pilot: Mate I sure love these supersonic transatlantic flights, getting paid for two legs in one day, and I’m we’re the fastest commercial pilots in the sky right now. This is a sweet job.

Copilot: Sure is captain, sure is… Hey flight, how are you doing back there?

Flight Engineer: All g-good mate (frantically checking guages and screaming internally in engineer)

Pinky and the brain

Yeah nope, if the same product is available for free then the only way to prove a “stolen sale” is if someone had previously paid for the subscription and then cancelled to use the free version of the same product.

Anything else is just the hand of the free market doing it’s thing. If Adobe executives are malding because someone made a cheaper (or free) alternative then they have two honourable routes available:

1. Add more value to their products to convince people their price tag is worth it.

2. Reduce the price they charge.

But they’ll literally do anything else but those two, including astroturfing messages like “open source software is piracy”, so stop spewing corpo bullshit!

You’re god damn right!

Any venue or building rated for say, to pick a random number, more than 20 people can get randomly inspected by a fire safety inspector.

And I want fire safety inspectors to be feared as much as Judge fucking Dredd. So when they turn up announced, the building management shits a mega-block in fear when they realise that skimping on installing a proper security setup and resorting to chaining/locking fire escapes has just cost them personally a month in jail with a criminal record, issued on the spot!

There’s simply no valid excuses for being this reckless with safety.

For fucks sake it’s the same goddamn lessons that keep getting ignored.

The only way would be to jail any building owner who breaks fire regulations like this.

Oh let’s absolutely piss off big tech, starting by removing anti-circumvention laws.

Please, instead of more satirising toxic masculinity, can we have some more depictions of positive masculinity in lead roles like Aragorn from LotR?

Also, please feel free to list some good examples of positive masculinity in replies below because I and others I know could benefit from seeing more of that.

Is this a joke I’m too straight to understand?

(For the record, I wish I wasn’t, yeah I have tried, both exploring my identity and also sexual acts.)
