Of a user base on average 90% will lurk/vote only, 9% will comment, and 1% will post.

Oh come on, the ratio can't be that extreme. The Pareto principle only say- hang on...

Looks up how many posts in this community are from remington@beehaw.org

I'd like to retract my previous comment and agree wholeheartedly.

    Incidentally, something like this happened in the Alex Jones Texas lawsuit. He tried to get two lawyers in on Pro Hac Vice, who then would be free to obstruct and misbehave knowing there wouldn't be any real legal consequences, through local lawyer Brad Reeves. When PHV was denied precisely because of their reputation for misbehaviour, Reeves was forced to represent Jones himself and proved one of the least dishonest or obstructive attorneys out of the parade of attorneys on the defense in the short time he had before dropping Jones.

    It's not really a concession. Russia pulled a ton of AA equipment off duty to guard the parade, so now Ukraine gets to exploit their absence elsewhere.

    The CEO then consulted with ChatGPT and came up with a plan to kick out the leadership of Unknown Worlds (the co-founders) and delay the release of Subnautica 2.

    And it's worth noting that ChatGPT also told the CEO that there was nothing he could do until specifically prompted to go ahead anyway.

    I had no idea there was so much drama behind MS Office alternatives. I moved to Libre some time ago and although it is often buggy and frustrating, I know it well enough to make it do the job. It's also had a ribbon UI for some time, so I'm not sure what the press release is talking about there.

    China has pretty good public transit. Although its cities have elevated highways and wide roads, they also seem to almost get a subway system automatically at a certain size (they apparently standardised one station design across the country, making construction simpler and faster, and have good geology for tunnels) and even smaller cities and towns have decent buses.
