Did you ever try gnome? That’s what OP asked.

To be honest, I’m a firm believer that if it’s considered required to read the news file for updating then the update tool should be printing that information for you. I used to have a hook that did it, but it was flaky. Also, I saw the creator mention that due to the design of the hooks, it happens too late in the process for some manual intervention to be done properly. But because everyone in Arch has such an obsession with “no bloat” I doubt we’ll ever see pacman have that feature.

I don’t believe arbitration agreements should be legal at all, but with how conservative US courts are right now, I doubt we’ll see it overturned.

I would be careful calling this “de-flock” because one of the more prominent groups against Flock is called Deflock and they already get lies from police calling them a terrorist organization despite never advocating for anything like tearing them down. If I really was putting on my tin foil hat, I’d say this was an intentional false flag operation called “de-flock” to further muddy the waters with regards to the Deflock organization. That’s a bit much, though.

Note that I’m not saying folks shouldn’t be participating, I’m only saying a different name for the activity would be prudent.

Rhys Darby did a bit somewhat similar to this at a standup. About a Roomba and a Cyber Truck. I don’t remember the specifics. But it was about the Roomba wanting to see the world. He’s very funny, if you ever have the chance to see him live, I highly recommend it.

you have recourse when stupid shit happens like them stealing your hardware

Just as an aside, you didn’t directly say it but may have inadvertently implied it, but the post says BestBuy sent back the extra 32 GB they removed with the laptop. They didn’t steal it.

Yes, there are multiple moments where they have to get to a landline to get out. if they could extract via cellphone then there wouldn’t be any tension around them needing to extract.

Reread the post. They never leave the matrix through cellphones, only landlines.

I can get that. Whenever I am sharing my screen or someone is watching me use a computer I turn into a boomer. I can’t type. I can’t find anything. I lose where the mouse is. Very annoying!

I used to work in a deli. Our scales gave weights in decimals, people always ordered in fractions. One day someone asked for an eighth of a pound. My coworker asks me “Is that .8?” I politely told her “it’s .125, so it needs to say about .13.” I guess part of it was panic, maybe if she had thought about it for a second she would have gotten it, but to think it’s more than a half pound was crazy. People ask for a half pound all the time.

Hmmm, could be numbers k such that phi(k) divides k+1, where phi is Euler’s totient function or perhaps numbers k such that every base-4 digit of k is a base-6 digit of k? Quite the puzzler.

If you say clavicular three times in a bathroom mirror, he’ll appear and chase you with a hammer to even our your cheek bones

Don’t you know? Click bait headlines have to say “someone”

The difference here is that I can reasonably believe the quarter second of spray being an accurate serving, but nobody has just one tictac.

Always take the lump sum!

My mom was weirdly prudish in the '90s and early '00s, I don’t really know why. Like she wouldn’t let me watch Dexter’s Lab because she thought it was gross or something? Idk. Weird time.

My mom told me never to click “I’m feeling lucky” because she thought it had something to do with porn because it’s a phrase people would say about sex.

Evil Chinese company as opposed to an evil American one?
