Maybe it's for the best. The tech's still new and a lot of people shouldn't be trusted with flying. At least this way only the rich can really get themselves killed.
Glad they didn't have the usual "Maybe later" button and you have a means to block it out completely.
They might call it something like a convenience fee.
There's a cyberpunk novel called Feed in which some teenager got a trendy Nike tattoo that would force him to say "Nike" in every sentence. I think that's the next step in our deliberate effort to pay for the privilege of branding ourselves.
That should be illegal, it's like using counterfeit cash that only needs to fool your server long enough until you're out of the restaurant.
The average Republican voter is the scientist?
The moral of the story in the Tower of Babel was that even God fears unions.
The US wasn't much different from Saudi Arabia back in the day. At least we still have religious fanaticism even now.
This is a good first step. The next would be to lower the ridiculous amount of electronics in them and remove wifi and telemetry functionality. A dish washer should never have to connect to a server to do its job.
TBBT can be an okay show if you don't mind the overused surface level nerd culture references, casual misogyny, and Elon Musk's appearance. Other than that it can be a guilty pleasure of mine.
They knew this over a hundred years ago when Upton Sinclair reported on it and motivated the government to found the FDA. It made everyone more disgusted about what was in their food rather than the cost of human misery workers paid to produce it. Why do people forget the lessons of the past?
All these jokes about guillotines is getting old. Either shit or get off the pot.
Too bad there isn't a company out there that focuses on making privacy respecting goods like TVs, washing machines, and cars. I'd buy all their offerings.
If this goes well I can't wait to see its sequel 28 decades later.
We're so fucked then.
The quality of oatmilk varies wildly based on the brand. I'm not a fan of Kirkland or Oatly but Califia and Silk are delicious.
"Hello hotline? I've been feeling pretty blue lately and thought about dyeing that way. Can you give me any tips to be sure I don't mess it up?"
I miss the days when most long running anime didn't have seasons and would just keep going until the story was over.
America will make up for it somehow. With the way we're cutting regulations here, our environment will be loaded with heavy metals and carcinogens in no time.
Beginner telescope suggestions
I'm planning to go to a rural spot that has a Bortle class 3 night sky around Southern California. Can anyone recommend a beginner friendly telescope with decent magnification for around $200? I'm not interested in using an accompanying smart phone app to go with it either. I'd like to see nebulae and galaxies the most. Thank you.
Lemmy Sorting Hat
There should be a kind of "sorting hat" personality test to attract the interest of prospective Lemmy joiners. People who love solarpunk stuff, for example, would easily find their home in slrpnk.net. Set a link to it on sites like join-lemmy.org to make the fediverse more approachable to casuals.
Is ice cream becoming too soft?
I decided to purchase store bought ice cream after years of just buying from places like Cold Stone. It seems to me most ice cream manufacturers have very soft ice cream now despite storing it in a freezer for a week straight. I could easily drop a spoon in the tub and watch it cut straight through to the bottom. The consistency is now kind of disgusting because it feels like I'm eating whipped cream instead of something that should be semi solid. So far I've tried Tillamook, Dryer's, and Target's in house brand and they all have that same mushy texture.
Before anyone suggests it's my freezer, I've kept it relatively uncluttered and everything else stays frozen just fine. I also make sure not to purchase those tubs of "Frozen Dairy Dessert". What happened? Is this some cost cutting measure or are customer's preferences really going to extremely soft textures?
If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?
It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.
If billionaires could suddenly gain immortality, would the world's governments finally act against climate change?
I'm pretty sure they would. It's not like they'd like to see their seaside properties go underwater within their lifetimes.
Installing CH340 drivers in Linux Mint running 5.15.0-88 kernel
Hi all, I've recently switched over to Linux Mint from Windows 10 and I'm having trouble installing a CH340 driver from Sparkfun. I've managed to unzip the contents and have it in this location: /home/user/Downloads/CH341SER_LINUX. I've tried running the files using the ./ command for both the ch34x.c and Makefile but ran into a bash issue which I'm stuck trying to figure out. Could someone please tell me how to make it work? I've already looked up a couple of different videos on Youtube but they kind of skip the explanation of how to install this driver on Linux in favor of Windows and MacOS.
Please see the attached image for the response I get in the terminal.
UPDATE: It turns out I had a bad micro USB cable. Most of the ones I was using to connect to an ESP32 board were charge only. Mint apparently had the driver for this all along. Thanks for the help everyone.
