Nobody likes a sucker, especially the kind that fall for fruit tarts like you. I knew there was trouble. I could smell it on the hot evening breeze. Fortunately for me, trouble is my favorite thing… Because I’m Joe Milkshake. I kicked down the door with one swift, decisive motion.

Top right?

A supermarket trip may soon look different, thanks to electronic shelf labels (www.npr.org)

Grocery store prices are changing faster than ever before — literally. This month, Walmart became the latest retailer to announce it’s replacing the price stickers in its aisles with electronic shelf labels. The new labels allow employees to change prices as often as every ten seconds....

This is news? I have seen those labels here in Sweden a lot already. Just no idea if they do those scummy on the fly price changes.

Thanks! I have seen those links but haven’t had time to read them fully yet, they looked like just discussing around the issue to me, not solving it. But I will have a closer look again, thanks for highlighting those.

“Need” for windows is just my wife who uses the same laptop. VM might be an idea but it will still be “different” and she is not very technical. So yeah, it has to be dual boot for the beginning, so I might in the end just go for a different distro that is easier to set this up with.

RootBeerGuy,

No encryption as far as I am aware of, unless its standard in windows 10 and I don’t know about it. I have experience with partitioning, so I’ll have a think if this is worth trying or not.

Have already backed up important windows files anyway.

Awesome, that is exactly the type of first hand experience and description I was looking for! Thanks!

Is there anything to be expected when updating the system to a new version? Maybe you haven’t done that yet…

That’s hilarious for a country with very ingrained bathhouse culture.

Well honestly, that’s too soft. They did not decide. They were pushed by regulators to follow the law. So bowing to pressure is more appropriate in my view.

Google allows that though or do they mean access of Google Play via 3rd party apps?

Not that I am saying it might not be necessary to include Google from the start, sets a good precedence and prevents a future where they might go the Apple route.

Just hope both Google and Apple won’t restrict opening up to Japanese market only. But who am I kidding, they will.

NES/Famicom Box Art (lemm.ee)

We were having a chat about retro box art on my Discord server, so I was browsing some Famicom box art today. I don’t have a ton of NES (North America) ones I like, as it’s a lot of this kind of thing, but there are a bunch of Japan ones I like. The post link is for Destiny of an Emperor 「天地を喰らう」. I also like...

I think your number is from a statistic on share of desktop usage. But I could be wrong about that too.

I can tell you what they will look like. They’ll be as convinced as in OPs article that they are still right and say “see, I told you!”

This is an ad.

No mention of OSMand, Organic Maps, or even Magic Earth

RootBeerGuy,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Yes, exactly. The upvotes did not reflect actual real engagement for a long time. I don’t remember anymore where I read about it, but allegedly there is also some artificial correction applied. Maybe to combat brigading of upvotes but can of course be used for manipulation.

Was there any explanation that I missed what this rectangular icon in the middle is?

Yes and no. Multiple things are the problem.

1st - what you said, this shouldn’t be a thing worth highlighting and its sad it is

2nd - just the usual online clout generating using your sick child. The image below is the poster with her sick daughter in her lap, I cut it off on purpose. I get it, images are more powerful than words but using your child for online clout is a hard no for me, triple that when your child is sick

3rd - the image is taken by another person. Often you see this sort of post with the person taking a clear selfie, here its almost a professional quality photoshoot type of picture, I know its still probably just a mobile phone though, not saying they hired a photographer for this. So who is that person? I’d hope the dad, but why is that person there able to take that picture but not taking care of the child. Sure, maybe same situation, working from home to also take care of the child and they take turns. But then that’s a bit dishonest not to mention you are sharing responsibility but instead celebrate yourself as an awesome “working mom”

4th - if the dad is also home, why can he not maybe even take care of the child alone?

5th - just like how sick leave should be normal, having leave to take care of your children should be the norm too. I know I am having a privileged perspective here, I live in a Scandinavian country where we have such a “taking care of sick children” leave. And its great! So yeah, if you don’t live in a country like that, you look at this and feel like its not so bad, from my perspective it is

Sick kids are low maintenance. You’ve either been a lucky parent or you have no kids.

I am always amazed how these github pages often have 0 information what the software is actually doing.

For this one too you need to follow a link on the mainpage to get to a different site that tells you its for backups. I might have missed the word backup on the github page though… Ah no, it is mentioned a few times but the context makes it hard to get that’s the purpose of the software.

RootBeerGuy,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I am not sure why you are getting downvoted.

The dude may have wonderful motives of not wanting the account linking and decides on his own against it to make the game more available. However he also knew it is not going to fly, so its not very difficult to imagine what will happen. I don’t see this guy being on the right side here.

Now? Like a few years back already. For me this started to get ridiculous when Paramount pulled all their Star Trek content from everywhere, putting it all in Paramount+, their own platform. I think by now this is partially reversed again.

Edit, holy shit, just started reading this “article”. Did someone not teach their AI model proper grammar and language in general? Hurts to read, fuck that.

Haha. Regain trust. You lost people gaming because of that PSN account linkage. Those people are not playing anymore. How will a continued great game experience regain their trust?
