When Trump says something important and really lays it on, that’s how you can tell the opposite is true.

Yeah, I remember mouse gestures with Maxthon being awesome.

What percentage of the market is daily pass vs seasonal pass, I wonder? I think it’s close to half at the big resorts. I feel like mountains (and mountain ownership groups) are pushing hard into the subscription model which means a lot of those people are paying less than the surge cost for the day, but a lot of people are also paying for a year pass but are sitting on their butt at home b/c they don’t actually have time to get out.

On peak days, both people with onesie-twosie passes and the people with annual passes are out there, I bet.

Iowa also has county names on their plates as well. I think it is probably a mix of:

1. that’s how we’ve always done it
2. kinda cool to see where people are from and display where you’re from
3. makes it easier to spot “out of place” cars for suspicion/police reasons (bleh, probably helpful in racial profiling too. pessimistic take…)

Also just guesses.

You can beat it??

Will someone please think of the companies!!!

The Pledge of Allegiance is what kids say, not the Star Spangled Banner. The Pledge is a little light on drama and more nationalist than patriotic imo. Not too terribly bad, except for the “under God” part they added in 1954.

Want to throw me an invite? I really want to try it, but none of my friends are on it. I stopped playing OW when they jumped the shark and announced OW2. You can only play if you know someone who is playing, right?

Don’t forget to add padding, so I’d just round it out to 18 months to be safe.

Some of the UI mods are really good. Gives what can be a bit of a clunky experience some QOL features and look.

I think that’s the point of what these statistics mean. This is an indictment on manufacturers not pushing the latest OS updates more than people not accepting the latest OS updates when they’re available.

Seems like a solvable problem though. We have a list of federated servers inately built into activitypub, right? Just need to tag results from those servers as being linked to a “lemmy” keyword search.

I’m sure I’m oversimplifying it, but all the pieces are there, just need search engines to be smart about how they index. Since there are a couple of federation based models that would be good to index, not just lemmy, it would probably behoove them to figure it out.

As I understand it, Lemmy, being FOSS, is pretty immune to this since there are no big tech shareholders to appease. Lemmy is susceptible to EEE (embrace, extend, extinguish) via something like Threads, however.

There are plenty of private companies that are shitty too. It definitely helps being private (and maybe is a requirement?), but you also have to have the right owners for private companies to be good.

I well over legal age to drink before he was even born and I’m a millennial. Man, when did we get old???

Also, he’s awesome. Really excited to see him in the final. What a birthday present that would be, eh?

Linux supports network accounts of all kinds.

They even have a guide for that! https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linux/install

So emojis like this are the internet equivalent of the cockney rhyming slang, innit? I immediately translated that, but someone, in one hundred years with no knowledge of 2020s meme culture will think it’s complete gibberish.

Looks a lot like Immersed’s Visor glasses. Not sure which one is more likely to actually be released and actually meet expectations.

It definitely feels more robust and a lot more activity in recent weeks/months. It takes a lot longer to get to the infinite porn posts in All.
