It’s really funny because Cory always champions POSSE. Post (on)own site, share everywhere.

And it’s funny because he mostly does that.

I somewhat disagree.

Music seems like it’s followed a similar trajectory of most things where it’s become more centralized and mass marketed. Music has to appeal to the masses for studios to pick it up. So there is an incentive to find music that appeals to the most people and turns off the fewest.

Similarly, you have a handful of studios telling you what is “good” and pushing it. Even if it isn’t great, it’s good enough that people listen and then they can create the hype behind it where it might not organically exist.

Some music bubbles up organically from independent artists but quite a bit is mass marketed and produced by big studios. And they have the money so they can choke out smaller artists.

School is usually cancelled because the schools are often polling locations.

It makes it all the more dumb to not have it as a national holiday.

Just love each other. Problem solved

I feel like you all are misplaying your hands. Find contractors that work for the govt.

They can bill the govt much higher rates because you have a PhD. They don’t have to pay you the extra. You could literally tell them that. Pay me at a junior rate and keep the difference until I prove I’m worth more.

You’d be straight revenue/profit for them. and it gets your foot in the door and you start getting actual experience.

Newborn diapers.

Get the cheapest Walmart special you can find. Newborns don’t poop or pee enough to warrant fussing over fancy diapers.

Once they get bigger and the contents start getting…bigger, then spend more on better diapers.

This is solid advice. If you buy a cheap one and use it so much it breaks, you’ll know you use it enough to warrant a nicer one.

Also, small rivers that need fording.

Paying for search aligns incentives better than free search.

It’s also the best results from a search engine I’ve had in a decade.

Counter point: I just got a new MacBook at work. It’s an all windows enterprise. There are like 10 of us that got macs. The setup for them is kludgy because all of the tooling is for windows.

That said, Microsoft office and one drive is so much better to use because the “integration” isn’t there…and it works like I want it to work.

It’s hilarious to me that they’ve made their offering worse with all of their efforts to integrate 365 and onedrive into everything.

I think if apple just did a little towards the enterprise they’d take chunks of market share. Like having a macpro with a pic/cac card reader would be a good start.

Apex started acting up on pop a year and half ago which drove me back to my windows partition (that I hadn’t seen in almost 18 months).

I don’t know if my issue is: pop, proton, steam, apex, my hardware(bad ram?), flatpaks, the deb, or something else. In my opinion it’s one of the toughest part about Linux gaming–when something goes wrong you arent going to find a ton of help since there is so much fragmentation.

But anyway, I echo your sentiment. Windows is still a necessary evil for a lot of us if you are big into PC gaming.

I was about to pay for it when they doubled the cost. No joke I told my wife I was going to start paying since we watch it all the time. The next week they doubled the cost. It irritated me. Not because I couldn’t afford it but because they added no value with the increase. Nothing changed.

My first thought was “thank God! Maybe I won’t have to scroll past their AI results to get to actual search results”.

Kagi needs better android integration. I hate searching ony phone now because I can’t use kagi easily.

this probably wasn’t supposed to be funny but holy shit lol

It doesn’t really integrate that well, but it’s included with most enterprise licenses so what company is going to pay for another option when they get it for “free”.

Turn it into a utility. Having an Internet connection is arguably more important than a phone line ever was and is up there with electricity.

It’s a utility. Treat it like one.

As an American who learned German, this is very accurate for the krautistanis.

Google need to separate YouTube and Music.

I actually think they need to go the other way with it. Increase the value proposition by adding more features to it. Include more drive space, Google one, etc.

A lot of people are upset because they haven’t added any additional value to YouTube and are now just hiking the rents. If they threw in, more products and services to the bundle it’s a more compelling offering. I’d pay if it got me unlimited data on Google Fi, Google one with 200GB of storage, yt premium, I guess yt music? (I pay for prime music RN), and maybe some collab space/compute.
