exempt school buses and emergency vehicles.

I don’t think it ever applied to emergency vehicles, although I’m not sure about school buses.

Indeed:

Qualifying authorized emergency vehicles, qualifying vehicles transporting a person with disabilities, specialized government vehicles, and transit and commuter buses would be exempted from the CBD toll

• https://abc7ny.com/nyc-congestion-pricing-plan-start-date-tolls-exemptions/14726774/, from the original plan

I’m not sure if commuter buses include school buses, but you’d expect it too.

The main changes seem to be a reduction in tolls. Which is fine as a starting point, although I hope they increase relatively quickly.

And it just seems to feed their supporters’ persecution fetish, as it did with Trump.

Reading itself isn’t what’s important, it’s mental stimulation that is. And more importantly stimulating different parts of the brain.

It’s important if you want to understand how the world works on a deeper level. There’s a reason that all scientific research is primarily presented in the written form.

Although I assume OP is talking about fiction which is a different matter.

0.82 is only two weeks old, so you would have needed nightly up until that point for most newer Garmin devices. I did uninstall Connect shortly after but I think you just have to make sure it’s not running, as I know some use both apps.

Gadget bridge doesn’t really work for any “new” (i might be wrong here) devices.

Most newer Garmin devices should work since 0.82 (and earlier with nightly). It’s not feature complete compared to using Gadget Connect but should be enough for most use cases, unless you really care about the social/awards aspect and some of the deeper metrics (although if you’re handy with SQL you can handle that yourself).

Not being able to set an event date and have “daily suggested workouts” follow that is my only annoyance, although I’ve been happy just using the defaults for now.

Nah, it’s definitely him. It looks to be an error in the caption. Or his lawyer looks uncannily like his client.

You can actually play from the UI too, but it’s not particularly nice to use (or intended to be used that way).

I’ll add pinchflat as an alternative with the same aim.

• FPTP voting system

• Voting isn’t compulsory so a lot depends upon on riling up your base

• Voting is on a Tuesday instead of a weekend (or a public holiday)

• Political parties draw up the electoral boundaries instead of an independent body

• The absurdly long leadup to an election

• The amount of money thrown around

It means the library of PC games. A bit like a Steam Deck can be seen as both a PC and a handheld console.

and that’s not even getting into the ableism issue.

Infrastructure that requires people to drive is far more ableist than the inverse. As many people with a disability can’t drive at all (or driving is a significant challenge).

You can trace it back as least as far as Barry Goldwater and the rise of right-wing “think-tanks” in the 1960s which came as a backlash to the civil rights movement and the perceived dominance of left-wing politics in government. Which led to Nixon’s “Southern Strategy”, right-wing talk radio, Fox News, and the ongoing brainwashing of much of rural America in particular.

I don’t think Bush ever sunk to the depths of the Hitler-like rhetoric that Trump and his cronies have been using, however. Maybe the guardrails will hold if Trump wins again (or loses again) but this is not normal.

Non-voters are complicit in what is happening. Maybe saying they are as bad is a stretch, but they clearly either don’t care or are ignorant about it.

that I put on a SD card for my phone

Pretty soon you won’t be able to buy a phone without expandable storage. On the plus side, internal storage is going up, but it’s still not big enough to hold a complete FLAC collection if it’s a reasonably large library. You can re-encode your library just for phone usage, but that’s a bit annoying to maintain.

Also, I’ve found all of the offline music players on Android kind of suck, and don’t support the workflow I like or have bugs.

Do you have any recommendations for a Perplexity.ai type setup? It’s one of the few recent innovations I’ve found useful. I’ve heard of Perplexica and a few others, but not sure what is the best approach.

however the issue I run into is if I lose internet access at home, none of my services are able to function as they can no longer reach the management interface.

Do the services stop working immediately, or only after restarting the netbird client(s)? I’ve found headscale/tailscale nodes will continue to communicate with each other with the internet down, but restarting the tailscale client will break things (which makes sense of course).

If netbird has an equivalent to MagicDNS that could cause issues after a while of losing connectivity (since the DNS will be hosted on the VPS).

Or just use tailscale/headscale/netbird and keep the underlying wireguard performance.

And the software ecosystem, much of which they have funded/developed. In 2015, there was no proton, no DXVK, no vkd3d, and most important, no Vulkan.

The drivers for your card needs to support the required extensions, and the hardware needs to support the particular codecs as well. So if you don’t have already have encoding/decoding support for the given codec with OGL etc, this won’t add it most likely.

The main benefit is that application devs won’t need to add multiple hardware decoding/encoding APIs, and can just target Vulkan. Cross platform support in particular is currently a mess due to the different APIs on Windows/Linux/Mac, so this will simplify things greatly. Eventually, driver devs will be able to just support Vulkan too, but that’s a long way off.
