Yeah, this is my conclusion as well. It literally does not matter what the time is; we can choose to start school/work after sunrise like sane people.

Might as well fall back one more time, leaving an entire generation with an extra hour of sleep that is never taken away again.

Might also just be extreme dental whitening. The gaps between his teeth do not look good. That could also just be the photo though.

By default, it does not; the predatory nature of this particular company notwithstanding.

For an extreme example, all I have to do to give a smoker a craving for a cigarette is too mention how bad it smells. It doesn’t matter that I did it in a negative context, just that I mentioned it.

For this company, a gambling company, which is known as addicting enough to ruin people, just sharing the company name is enough to cause similar affects.

For regular companies the affect is also there, just in varying degrees of strong. As a lesser example, I could give you cravings by just mentioning a specific soft drink, so long as I guess the right brand.

Lense distortion is a helluva drug.

And sunscreen, and smoking, and minoxidil, and

That’s nice.

If it matters, I am on Fedora silverblue.

It does. HDR isn’t really well supported on xorg-based systems. Fedora has Wayland though, which handles HDR better.

HDMI

This also matters. HDMI 2.1 isn’t supported on amd systems just yet. It doesn’t matter unless you want 144hz at 4k, but it does matter. Linux does a better job of supporting displayport, but tvs don’t usually have displayport inputs.

I don’t know that I ever had a windows setup that didn’t have a bigass chunk of lag whenever the background changed. I’d get tired of all my windows freezing every ten minutes so fast.

It really depends on your who your workers are, but I absolutely don’t use emojies in work emails. I do use them in teams messages though.

Emails are for conversations I want documented. Chat messages are the equivalent of a desk conversation.

Also, yeah, angry emojies are still taboo at any type of work chat for me. Can’t be seen as angry at the office.

Lmao. The joke of this comic is that a ‘pong’ comic is really inane. The ball goes back and forth, and then one of the paddles misses. The exclamation point is cute though.

Oh and also, here’s a fancy that does exactly that, which I adore. https://m.fanfiction.net/s/12986683/5/

Chapter 5 is a jump cut to post using the clones to rescue anakin, but before the rest of the war. The earlier chapters are an intro on why obiwan is different enough to stop things.

If you say so. AFAIK that’s legends stuff which I am not actually versed in.

The funniest part is that ‘straight up lose the war’ was actually a pretty solid choice for the Jedi. It’d force the republic to face the consequences of its actions with regards to the outer rim, force palpatine to stall and delay the droid army, and it would give dooku and the separatists time to get a solid outer rim government going. There’s a lot of negatives too I’m sure, but at least they wouldn’t be personally leading enslaved people to their deaths against a droid army.

They (the Jedi council) discovered that Dooku was evil after/during the time they were forced to use the clones to rescue anakin and co. So like, yeah, the group of people involved in the clone creation was sus, but at the same time they were already neck deep in a war when it all came out and they had a moment to think about things.

A better Jedi council wouldn’t have accepted the positions of generals over a slave army.

A better Jedi council would’ve stopped at using slave soldiers to rescue a pair of Jedi and a politician.

A better Jedi council would have been suspicious of a slave army being made in their name.

A better Jedi council would have treated anakin as a person first, instead of as child soldier / prophesied savior.

The better Jedi council didn’t exist. It was an indolent, slow, and prideful Jedi council, and that’s why they failed. That was the whole point; to stuck up in their own assess to see what’s going on right in front of them.

I think it makes for a great story, if not the one that we might’ve hoped for.

I mean I don’t know if I even agree with that; they were suspicious of him. But being suspicious that a mercenary who now works for the enemy, was also hired by your best bro, isn’t really enough to go on and say that the work of your best bro is completely untrustworthy.

Part of the genius of the clones was that, as far as the Jedi knew, one of their own had commissioned it due to his visions of the future war.

It’s like, your old best bud pre-ordered specialty beer for your party but couldn’t make it. So you use the beer, and then surprise! It’s your highschool nemesis who bought shitty ipas and put them into fancy beer cans all along! Who could have seen this coming?

People shouldn’t have to jump through that many hoops to recommend something, that’s ridiculous

True, but only for a commercial offering.

False, for free or open source software. Makemkv is the absolute best tool for ripping DVDs and bluerays. It requires being compiled from source in order to be used for free. Anubis charges 50/month to change the branding. These both serve the same purpose; a mild speedbump to encourage paying for the work of the developer.

Anubis’ direct competitor will straight up hold your business hostage and blackmail your company for money when they feel like they can get away with it.

The ‘ridiculous hoops to jump through’ are there for the developers benefit, and are incredibly mild compared to most every other commercial offering. I just don’t see why it matters so much that anubis must change in this way.

I was just taking issue with the responses ignoring the context given, and rudely.

Yup. The fediverse is usually better than reddit but it looks like today several people got up and chose angry instead of helpful. It happens for sure. I do love how helpful some of these have been though. Lots of good advice among the arguments at least.

You brought up butts.

No I didn’t. You did. It’s right above my comment. Don’t lie. Everybody can see you mentioning butts first.

My point with going to an extreme with that is even you can agree there is a line somewhere where something shifts over the line of “too ridiculous to consider for serious purposes”.

And my point is that “too ridiculous to consider for serious purposes” being the current state of things is wrong and needs to change to allow for less serious things to exist.

There is a conflict here. There are at least three options to resolve it. Either the company needs to change, anubis needs to change, or the users complaining about the other two groups need to change.

I’m arguing that the company is wrong for not changing. I’m also arguing that the user is wrong for complaining about anubis’ branding. Hell, I’m even arguing that anubis is right for choosing to skip out on mainstream branding.

My point with going to an extreme with that is even you can agree there is a line somewhere where something shifts over the line of “too ridiculous to consider for serious purposes”.

In short, I’m saying that anubis is nowhere near crossing that line.
