I find Waze has better real-time traffic info. Driving time estimates may vary a bit more, but I find it to be a more than adequate replacement for most tasks.

You do have to gut check some of its suggestions, though: it seems to think some roads are slower, even when they’re not as busy, and will route around them.

Honestly, wherever these images come from, if they were posted every day it would probably help visibility of what they actually DO.

Yarr, matey.

They’re relatively cheap. I’ve had one for years, though I don’t use it for email forwarding.

Weird shit also happens if send mail isn’t coming from a big provider :(

Article says 6.0 is still in interoperability testing. So not out yet.

Takes like 5 years for a standard to become reality.

This is exactly what I would suggest, with one addendum: use internet archive links wherever possible. Especially if the links are intended to be clickable.

In the process of acquiring an advanced degree, I learned the worst part of research is finding dead links to pages that were never archived.

By putting it in the internet archive to create a link, it also adds a snapshot.

Most settings average “Facebook machine” users need are available on common distros without touching a console.

Unless you want to emulate common windows software. Then only God can save you.

I use Arch, btw

All true. The point is that win 11 doesn’t support a lot of old hardware that’s perfectly usable, just doesn’t have TPM2.0 chips built into them. There are some hacks around it, but it takes a great deal of desire and proficiency to make them work.

Reminds me of the liminal spaces subreddit. Not sure we have a Lemmy version?

Isn’t this the bisexual stereotype? I may be confused, but the joke is that they never sit in chairs normally.

They are not joking, and some cars cannot adjust the angle or lateral position of the headrest without replacement. There are cars (like 2009 Lincoln MKZs, cough) that have headrests and seats that look and feel exactly like the image.

I owned one for about 3 years, and I still blame it for starting my weird neck/shoulder problems years later.

I think the voiceover was added for YouTube, but I’m pretty sure that footage came from a game in 1991 “Zero Wing”

This is just an impressive troll, right?

I mean, where you sign up says something about you, right?

Yarr.

Unpopular opinion (at least in the Fediverse): while mastodon exists and is nice (if a little harder to grasp), Threads actually has a sufficient user base to be considered a substitute for Xitter. I was watching it during the debates and there was lively enough conversation to be interesting and still unable to read every comment that tagged the debate in real time.

Down with centralized social media and all that, but just a suggestion if you miss the volume of posts and the centralized interface that Xitter dumps out.

Poison is generic. Venom is specific to normal method of delivery (e.g. snakes and bees).

Swallowing venom may or may not hurt you. Probably not a great idea, but there’s a better chance you’ll be okay.

Getting a known poison stabbed/injected intravenously seems likely to be pretty effective, but it depends on the mode of action. Blood goes everywhere in the body, so it will likely find its target eventually.

I had the same experience. Nano is great if you’re used to notepad or a generic, limited text editor.

Once you learn a terminal editor like eMacs or vim, why go back? So much less hand motion going to mouse, arrows, and back.

It’s remarkably difficult to really fuck up freebsd. On Linux, getting boots to fail is easy. FreeBSD is quite a bit more robust in that regard, as the base image isn’t updated piecemeal.

Hahaha. I feel dumber than a ferengi who can’t remember the rules of acquisition.

Thanks for your service!

In Pennsylvania, I believe liquor stores do have to scan ID for most purchases.

Bars don’t HAVE to scan. The age threshold is fairly arbitrary. That said, there are companies who do contract stings/spot checks at bars (contracted by the owner of the chain, usually) to make sure they’re carding everyone.

One of my friends lost a job because of said sting by an 35 year old employee (who definitely looked over 30) and a zero tolerance policy for failing said checks.

So it makes sense to me that the bar wouldn’t provide alcohol to anyone without ID. That’s how they were trained.
