Bilb!

Our taxes should be paid directly to Musk instead of going through the government.

You don’t think it’s more to do with his proximity to power?

If it makes you feel any better, this happens in the UK, too.

That did make me feel better, thanks! 😃

I’m betting hard that microplastics are actually good for us

Isn’t she the one who wrote homophobic stuff on her blog and then tried to pretend she didn’t like we’re all stupid?

You probably could, but you’d have the taste of citric acid (which is not awful) and baking soda in the water. The Spärkel has the water that activates the reaction in a separate chamber so they don’t wind up in your drink. You need to change that water every four or five times you use it.

I use a “Spärkel” carbonator. Instead of CO2 canisters, it uses packets of citric acid and baking soda to generate CO2 and uses a compressor to infuse the liquid.

Pros:

• You can either use their pre-measured packets if that’s convenient for you, or do what I do and just buy a bulk amount of both the citric acid and baking soda.
• You can carbonate pretty much any liquid. Water, wine, flat soda, mixed drinks, you name it. The sodastream will explode and cause a huge mess if you try to carbonate anything besides water.
• They don’t appear to be Israeli.

Cons:

• Because it uses a compressor, it needs to be plugged in to operate. It’s pretty loud too!
• It takes longer than a sodastream. While a sodastream is almost instant, this will take 1-3 minutes depending on the level of carbonation you desire.

Yeah, I wonder what might might cause the American people to be inured to crime and violence. We see oligarchs making a mockery of the law almost constantly, not to even mention the ridiculous appeals to “rules based international order” abroad.

Agreed. It’s touch optimized, not mouse and keyboard. That’s not a criticism!

I love Voyager on mobile but feel constrained by it on desktop. (It reminds me of using Gnome, which is not my personal preference.)

Interesting, every example people have given you in response is pretty weak. (I’m not saying I agree with Nintendo have any exclusive claim here.)

This is just motivated reasoning. Someone thinking “Oh no, I look kinda like that guy! I’m fucked!” seems incredibly far-fetched to me.

Let me enjoy making fun of them! ;)

By the time I got it I think most of the driver issues had been ironed out. I did have some trouble with a couple of games running on Linux with Proton, but those same games worked fine on Windows. I think there are some kinks to work out still with dxvk. It is possible that I just never tried one of these problematic games, though.

From what I can tell, that’s not unique to the lemmy network.

I guess being loathed and having an indifferent at best reaction to your murder is one potential negative consequence of participating in an industry that that devalues human life in exchange for profit as a matter of course.

What makes it “cartel style?”

I wonder if/hope they will release a 16 GB model like the A770. I got one of those on ebay for $180 on a lark and it’s really not bad. I put it in a dedicated media/gaming PC connected to my TV.

I don’t think Beastars was a documentary

Except that time like 50 years ago when Universal sued because Donkey Kong was too close to King Kong.

It looks like they’re considering adding some equivalent of a robot.txt to express consent or non-consent for posts on ATProto, but of course as they say:

“Bluesky won’t be able to enforce this consent outside of our systems. It will be up to outside developers to respect these settings.”
