I really think if the only thing that changed was Kamala's race and gender we'd have woken up to different news today.

What do I win once I tick them all off?

It's showing me two AMD GPUs currently but one of them is listed as a new product so it might not have been there when you last checked.

Something about the Blitzball players all being characters you could find in the world, some of whom would otherwise be unremarkable NPCs really burrowed into my brain with FFX. Something about the fact that you'd have relationships with characters in two different contexts where they would often play a wildly different role in each really made the world feel a little bit more alive than normal.

I like it but found the fear of using items you might later need too be exacerbated to an uncomfortable degree by the magic system. I suspect I'd enjoy it more today than when it came out.

Both She-Hulk and Ms Marvel had flaws as TV shows. On account of being TV shows. The over focus on those flaws was driven by people who wanted to hate them for not being about white American men.

It's because they go hand in hand. I've had experience with customer service roles where staff are empowered to solve issues and it requires very very very slightly higher investment in your employees to pull off.

Horse and Sparrow Theory.

Raphael Ravenscroft for anyone wondering. His daughter Scarlett Raven is a successful visual artist combining traditional impressionist paintings with augmented reality.

I imagine either the "Oh God-mass God!" Version of the song either is the first version she learned whilst very young or she was taught this "fact" by someone who she trusts unquestioningly. It's very hard to convince people to reasses beliefs they've taken on in that way. Maybe you could give up that dream and work on gently leading her to a compromise of doing a verse of each?

This sort of confusion is why I think we need to always define economic and social political positions separately rather than lump them together.

On the day it happend I watched the videos being shared by the people participating amongst each other. There were tremendously more than 200 people.

This kinda just feels like "what single question would you ask ChatGPT if it was omniscient" so my mind is just getting lost in the arcane and complex structuring and restructuring of the question to get the answer you want rather than one that literally answers the exact question you asked.

Assuming though that you actually do just get the answer to the intent and spirit of your question the only rational one I can think of would have to be some variation of:

"What answer could you give me that would offer me the most peace, contentment and sense of resolution to my life?"

Otherwise I'd spend an eternity (or however long I'd have to consider my question) pondering how to ask that question without getting an accurate and correct response like:

"A really good one."

Because they are judging the water use by final weight and you make cheese by removing the water from milk.

Also like... Cheese is where you take all the valuable stuff out of milk and through away the water that constitutes most of it's mass. Of course it's a poor water to weight ratio because most of the weight of milk is water. But in terms of water usage to available dietary nutrition I can't see it being very different to milk.

While it's not perfect I think emissions per calorie is a better measurement than emissions per kg (even more importantly for making comparisons of water usage.)

All you're arguing is that the web is decentralised, not that any given website within it is.

AFAIK it's a system to let Linux software bundle all of it's dependencies up with it so it just works in a self contained way that doesn't care about what else is and isn't installed.

Advantages is that they are more reliable and user friendly than traditional approaches to Linux software installation.

Disadvantages are that they have bigger footprints where you might have the same dependencies I dependently installed for each app rather than as a single installation that they all utilise and that they need to be updated individually (as part of the flatpak.) IE if basically every app uses the same dependency and it turns out to have a huge security hole, under normal Linux software the developer would patch it, you'd update it and the hole would be filled. With Flatpaks you need each individual Flatpak developer to update the version used by their Flatpak and for you to update all those Flatpaks before the hole is plugged. I think I remember they run in some kind of sandbox to mitigate this though.

All you can hope is that some day they are forced to support 3rd party apps because of some anti monopoly lawsuit telling them they have too.

I'm not sure if you are aware already but the reason Epic are announcing a million changes to their business is that the previous business plan was based around them successfully throwing a fortune at suing Apple to force them to support 3rd party apps and they tried and failed.

I think if it were ever going to happen that way, Epic would have succeeded.

That's not to say it won't still happen one day through political means. Seems plausible the EU might force it at some stage.

if this company goes out of business the source code dies with it.

Despite the fact that probably none of us had heard of them until today, it appears that FUTO has tremendously deep pockets so are very unlikely to go out of business any time soon (which Rossman mentioned in the comments of his video with a link to this one (that I haven't yet watched) of his interview with the owner a year ago https://www.youtube.com/live/OJPmbcU-Vzo?si=DovtYTWTC3S1QIY-)
