I try to use local stores or other websites, and only use Amazon if I can’t find what I need there. But at least half the time I end up having to use Amazon because I can’t find what I need.

It’s probably a kind of vicious cycle: as Amazon eats further into profits of other companies they are more limited in what they can offer.

Incoming second pardon from Trump for this guy, probably.

I’m genuinely surprised Utah isn’t higher on this list. I’ve driven in many states, and that state has by far the worst drivers I’ve encountered.

Yeah, but they’ve already shown they are woeful at basic counting and math. Look at how Bondi was claiming their crackdown was going to save billions of Americans from fentanyl.

She’s probably framing her argument to include more than just Latinos. She probably wants anyone who isn’t a white Christian cis conservative fed to the gators.

He needs some sharks with frickin’ laser beams attached to their heads!

I swear, with every week that goes by Bezos looks more and more like Dr Evil. Increasingly acts like him too.

Why not both (and many other countries too)?

Photoshop as in the general concept of editing photos? Sure. There are a lot of decent tools out there, including for mobile devices.

Photoshop as in use the proprietary Photoshop UI? Probably not.

With tungsten cubes apparently. Lots and lots of tungsten cubes!

Of course he will keep it that way. He won’t have the time to continue sucking off Putin if he has to think about NATO membership. Hungary needs to flush that miserable turd down the political toilet once and for all.

I fucking loath LinkedIn! I don’t go on there much, but every time I do it’s 99% shameless self-promotion using vapid, one-dimensional content that’s wrapped in a thin veneer of motivational speech bullshit.

How do many people can’t see through it (let alone tolerate it) is beyond me. LinkedIn embodies so much of what’s wrong with modern society.

JavaScript, AJAX, and modern web frameworks have pushed us away from displaying information in a pure and clean way. We need to go back to a better time!

Looks at no-HTML websites

Shit, we’ve gone back too far!

Exactly!

Screw that. Give the government a way to track my vitals 24/7 and sell that information off to their cronies in the private sector? No thanks.

I get the feeling there was a lot of other shit boiling away under the surface here, and the hot sauce argument was just the straw that broke the camel’s back.

They could probably use some of that thermal energy to power lighting that would grow some veggies and other low-resource plants. Although they probably aren’t set up for that today.

ETA: Turns out they are set up to use thermal energy to generate their own food, which actually makes a lot of sense given how resourceful they are as a people.

That’s not how knowledge works. You can’t just have an LLM hallucinate in missing gaps in knowledge and call it good.

I gave up Reddit after the great API fiasco. Once in a while I check out Bluesky, about the same frequency as I look at Mastodon. But about 98% of my social media time is spent on Lemmy.

The bombing actually makes the chances of regime change even harder. There’s nothing like being attacked by a foreign adversary to galvanize support for an authoritarian regime.
