Oh wow, that looks amazing! Mesmerizing, even

Oracle is circling the drain, here's hoping Ellison is flushed away by it.

I expect Google, Nvidia, even Intel to survive through this, Anthropic might still for a while but days at the purported 1T dollar valuation are numbered.

I've gone with "Vote Shoo-to-Schu no matter who"

Fewer tariffs on Canada! More beautiful tariffs on billionaires!

I use a desktop pc and it is power hungry even at idle so battery life isn't an issue to me.

I would like to manage my library without needing to fiddle with Wine prefixes (which for most 2000s games I have to) or Lutris.

That's actually really cool! Glad they went through the math of it.

But that said, it would be a lot harder to map using this method accurately near airports and military bases since some planes do not activate ADS-B. The method also requires at least the exact date of filming, even if you could get flight data from across the world.

TL:DW; say "eeeeeeeeowwwwwwww" at random intervals on videos to mask your location being identified by background plane sounds /s

Finally! That's one of the main things that have kept me from being a regular GOG customer, having its own Lutris and Wine prefix for it is so annoying. Steam has had it right for at least 8 years.

For takeout, it's ok and totally normal not to tip, by machine or tip jar. If it's a local joint you like, feel free to add 50c, in my head I will cover part of the credit card transaction fee for them sometimes.

Sit down restaurant with table service and waiters has had tipping culture as the norm.

I was talking with awareness of the context of the primaries. Stevens was the DNC favourite but she was still evidently an Israel bootlicker and didn't perform well at the debate. El-Sayed got pre-primary endorsements from UAW and has had strong individual and collective support from labour union members. Not to say Piker didn't help signal boost the campaign a lot, just to say Senator-elect El-Sayed would have never gotten through the primary without him is not necessarily true, there were many axes of support that converged and primary voters also compared the quality of candidates directly. And El Sayed used the fact that gobs of cash were being lobbed into the race to defeat him to his benefit.

I'm just tempering the argument that Piker is the primary or sole reason why we got the result we did, it's a whole bunch of factors, a bunch of rural faces got eaten between the ICE raids, more new wars and gas prices, Republicans primaried particularly shitty candidates because they were measured by their fealty to Trump. It's a bit of No Kings rallies driving people to vote as tangible action against this admin, and finally it's the Mamdani effect where sewer socialism, left-wing populism that purports to go beyond ideology to focus on making a tangible difference for everyone while enshrining rights for the underprivileged.

I don't think Piker was that instrumental in how good the Democrat campaigns were this time...

But I do credit him for getting into Republican media talking heads' heads and living rent-free, to the point that they put out a thirst-trap photo from his IG on the jumbotron at the RNC Trumpapalooza.
