Lived in California (SoCal and Bay Area) my entire 42 years.

No, we don't.

There was a short, planned outage in my neighborhood (San Diego suburbs) last summer - we got a few days notice (can't recall if it was a letter or an email). Didn't have one the summer before that. I don't recall any power outages when I lived in the Bay Area.

I'm addition to tldr which someone else suggested, there's also the cheat command. It's pretty easy to add to it's cheat sheets, if you have custom commands, or want to keep a specific example. I've never kept a physical cheat sheet... They're just too inconvenient and my fingers are probably already at the keyboard.

If you're "entirely serious" in the literal sense, just to be super clear the answer to "why can’t the Democrats run an intellectual Canadian?" is that a Canadian is disqualified from the office of the President in the Constitution. Unfortunately, they didn't think to prohibit megalomaniac felons. That's apparently on us. :(

Ehhh... The Java edition has had more than one dude working on it for a long time. It's not like MS bought it and tossed the code in a vault.

I play both pretty evenly, and while bedrock isn't as bad as people say it is (anymore?), Java is still probably the answer.

That said, they're both fuckin maddening to admin.

Right, there's definitely a threshold... but we're not anywhere near it. Like I said I have the FW13, and my wife has a similar sized Dell XPS. There's less than half an inch difference. The Dell has almost no bezel... and fingerprints on the display all along the edge from having to open and close it. And the bezel on the top of the FW has hardware switches for disabling the mic and webcam which is probably why it's bigger in the first place.

This was a nice article to read, except complaints about the bezel (really we're still talking about bezels?). I've got a Intel 12th gen Framework 13, and I've been curious about how they'd do with the AMD version. I'm really liking mine, but a bit more performance would be appreciated since I use it for work, too. I'll probably buy the motherboard kit in a year or so, and slide the Intel into a case for a home server.

I'd love faster boats (I'd love faster minecarts more). As is tradition for the mob vote though, you don't really know what you're voting for. When I heard "can help your boat travel faster", I think "rad, faster boats", but that could also mean "can help your boat travel faster [when you're nearby penguins and being in the boat doesn't count]" or anything in between.

CA has only elected democratic (vaguely to the left of the median Democrat, if fairly rank-and-file) senators since 1992. As long as she didn't leave it to chance and die during her term (...) while she coincided with the honestly fairly moderate-but-still-republican Gov Schwarzenegger, she could have had a hand in picking her replacement.

As others (including myself) have noted, any Democrat-led SCOTUS nomination or major piece of Dem legislation would have passed more-or-less the same. I'd be curious if there was some analysis of where a particular Dem Senator from CA was a "swing vote". Meanwhile now we're in a vacancy and her missing vote definitely matters (again, thankfully likely with less impact than RBG's).

That last paragraph is all sorts of reasons why she should have retired 15 years ago (at 75!) When voters would have easily voted in her (possibly even hand picked!) protege.

We're now left a mess because someone with an ego didn't retire when they could have. Wait this is starting to sound familiar. Thankfully the consequences aren't likely to be as dire this time.

It is a problem with The Court though. Sure, Sotomayor is classy here, but only because she chose to be. The things coming out about Thomas shouldn't be allowed but no one is functionally capable of doing anything about them, even though we have rules in place for other civil servants - that's the problem with the court.

Nope, Prism doesn't do bedrock.

This is exactly the kind of thing that gets backported to stable LTS distros tho. The kernel Major.Minor is just the base - it doesn't tell the whole story.

Exact same in SoCal.

I don't suppose you've got yours setup to bypass/ignore the ATT provided router?

Oracle keeps trying to throw shade, but I hope everyone knows that it's just opportunistically poking a competitor in the eye. They don't have an open source leg to stand on.

Relicense or update CDDL to be GPL compatible and then I'll reevaluate.

Threads -> Lemmy doesn't make sense, no.

But consider a service that looked more like Kbin, which merges "microblogging" (like Twitter) and "link aggregation" (like Lemmy/Reddit) under the same account, but puts those in different parts of their UI. Facebook could (and really, strategically, should! If they're after Twitter's lunch, why not Reddit's as well?) be working on a similar thing. All current users of Threads could one day wake up and find a new "Communities" tab in their app.

So right now, the Federation discussion seems moot with regards to Lemmy, but it's really a longer term issue.

Agreed EEE doesn't need to be strictly technical (but it certainly could be! See the example of increasingly complicated and quick moving web standards driven largely by Google which makes creating a new browser so hard).

But a UX path could easily look like:

Find the top 500 lemmy communities by size/engagement. Create those communities before the server ever opens up to the public. Pre-poulate with content.

As people join, sort them into these communities based on their FB/Insta/Twitter/Threads profile. Indicate in some way that their existing contacts are into those things too and "may" be there to encourage adoption. Open up to federation.

Voila, f/linux has 200k users in the first month all chatting and posting. People like content, so native lemmy users subscribe and start engaging over there. The UX is great, very polished, etc. Maybe they create an account migration tool.

A while later, BigCorp decides it's time to pull the rug, defederates (for whatever reason, probably moderation issues), and now everyone who's still a Lemmy user is cut off from the communities they followed and the "native" Lemmy communities are tiny and quiet. Lemmy users cry foul, and no one cares because Big Corps get to set the message and for some reason people come out of the woodwork to defend them.

Facebook has no incentive to Federate (seriously for what?), but has insane incentive to kill a federated service before it gets off the ground or ever grows to be anything approaching the size of reddit.

I acknowledge Threads is a bigger problem for Mastodon, but you would be incredibly naive if you think there wasn't a team of people working feverishly at getting a FB owned ActivityPub targeted at a Reddit replacement. It would even integrate with Threads, like Kbin has microblogging.

Thanks for all the feedback!

The flatpak (I think that's what people are talking about here) was what I was using before and IIRC, there was at least one point where the dev threw his hands up and stopped working on it, as someone (MS? Mojang? Google?) was making his life harder. That's probably my biggest complaint about Bedrock, actually. It's not nearly as buggy as its reputation claims, but lordy there's a lot of hands in that pot. And that's before you even start talking about cross play from the Switch...

I was actually hoping to hear that somehow Proton and the Windows version of Bedrock was the way to go these days, but glad that there's at least something.

I've got a chemex and love iced coffee... Talk to me about this "brewing over ice" method?

Oh nice. We just drive a couple streets over. There's a bunch of hills in my neighborhood pretty close to where they launch. But I definitely remember it being something of a fiasco in other places.
