Most of the ones who aren’t don’t reveal they are gun owners or think about it so much.

Part of the problem with it is that it is very difficult not to use it, for instance if your code uses dbus, that makes systemd a dependency and almost all of the tools are like this. Want to use alternate software with systemd init? A-OK! want to use systemd tools without systemd init? Too bad! This inter-dependence is what I think makes it break the unix philosophy, its components dont like to be replaced or used outside of the “intended” environment of systemd init, keeping it from being replaced without breakage on lot of systems.

On my install for instance, systemd is roped in by xdg-user-dirs (and hence steam), flatpak, fcitx5, and cups. And that is just a few. So the init system isnt a problem to me, the lack of drop-in replacements for its suite of tools is.

Im still annoyed we didn’t get these.

This adobe, not the company

Nobody will want to join the UN when they see how little is done for member states. Their inaction will be their end, just like the League of Nations before them.

We dont need compact apartment complexes, we have plenty of houses being hoarded by companies and landlords so they arent on the market and the few that are can have artificially high prices. There are “Cash for your house now!” signs everywhere where I live plus they keep mailing us too, and those are usually either landlords or house-flippers.

Not sure why you’re pulling PNG into this, that’s an entirely different file format.

Just mentioning what format I remembered it with since I dont remember if the rotation flag was in the image file formatting, in the webpage, or if it could be specified in either place.

It was top to bottom unless the image had a rotation flag in it. I don’t remember if it was just PNG that had that or if other formats could too.

Si vis pacem, para bellum

Apparently it is just the ones containing menthol, salicylic acid, alcohols, camphor, or some fragrances. Apparently some chap sticks have petroleum jelly as an ingredient too.

This site does that

True, but all of the other things they track are more sensible.

tbf they are only heavier because they are making them SUVs instead of coupes or sedans and trying to convince people that a 150 mile range isnt long enough for them as if they wont just plug it back in when they get home or as if they actually commute 75 miles each way. God forbid they have to wait for it to charge. Electric vehicles have the potential to be the same weight or lighter but car companies all suck.

Shame the cloudflare VPN wall doesnt let me sign it. It just loops a captcha at me that insta-fails.

The longer time to pay makes sense but the cards I have dont charge me for having them, I know availability of cards may vary though, some people might not have decent card options, I guess it makes sense.

All of the “buy now pay later” or pay in installment schemes/apps popping up, supposedly they are popular but I don’t get it, it is just a worse credit card.

Absolutely this, sedans are virtually dead here in America thanks to CAFE regulations and I staunchly refuse to buy an SUV or pickup, even used, unless I have a need for something bigger, and then Station Wagons and vans will get my attention before pickups, and SUVs will never get my attention.

Especially when you consider my 2000 Town Car (RIP Mercury) got 21MPG city and 30 Highway (on long interstate trips), even though it was only rated for 16 city 23 highway, but somehow a 2025 Ford Explorer only is rated for 18 city/25 highway, only 2 MPG better than a 25 year old car’s official rating on both categories, despite being the same price new, before being adjusted for inflation (both started between $39-40k), 25 years of development for a 2.3L I4 SUV to match a 25 year old 4.6L V8 sedan, our vehicle market is a joke.

It might be, where I live in the US all microwaves with a power setting ask you to set the power from 1-10 (implied to be percentages/10) with no hint as to the wattage except the label so you have to hunt for it.

Eh, I support places moving time zone but a bigger factor for me is also linguistic, it doesnt make sense for high noon at the place the time zone is defined at to be at 1 in the afternoon, the one thing I think alot of people can agree with is that 12 should be noon or as close as possible and I feel that DST works against this.

I support standard time more, the 12 o clock at the center of the timezone should be noon, not having noon at 1PM, and day lengths are better on average without. DST makes it better, but only for sunset times, it makes the mornings drastically worse and I think employers and schools should just change their hours if they care so much about sunlight when they leave.
