Exchange it until you get one that isn’t destroyed by improper packaging.

For those wondering what could possibly be serious enough to justify that, unfortunately, they don’t say:

Details about the circumstances that led to their medical evacuation have not been disclosed.

Sometime before 2007:

Zuckerberg: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
Zuckerberg: Just ask
Zuckerberg: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
[Redacted Friend’s Name]: What? How’d you manage that one?
Zuckerberg: People just submitted it.
Zuckerberg: I don’t know why.
Zuckerberg: They “trust me”
Zuckerberg: Dumb fucks

Facebook was NEVER not evil, regardless of your rose-tinted glasses.

“Most common” (i.e. statistical mode) is often such a misleading thing to pay attention to because it’s so sensitive to how the person doing the study chooses to group things. For example, also on the Steam Hardware Survey, it looks like Arch is more popular than Ubuntu, but that’s because Arch (being a rolling release) is only one entry, while Ubuntu is separated out into versions.

Similarly, “16GB is most common” is easily confused with “most people have 16GB,” which is very much not true. It’s just that the majority, which is less than 16GB, is divided between people with 4, 8, 12, etc.

Pretty sure that’s an X (and I guess now Wayland) thing, not a KDE thing. I could be wrong, but I think you could sit down at a VAX from the '80s and expect it to work.

“Sublemmy” is just such an awkward word, tho.

the sub

ಠ_ಠ

Also looking at that map, that’s a nightmare town already.

Well, it’s the “1974 Flint, Michigan” scenario, so yeah.

Ancient Romans be like:

There are apparently also similar products from “Reflectacles” and “Vaydr,” but they were more expensive and/or not normal prescription glasses. The Zenni thing is just an extra coating you can add on to the glasses you would have otherwise bought anyway (which is how I found out about it; I didn’t know it existed beforehand).

Meanwhile, I recently got new prescription glasses (after wearing my previous pairs for way too long, BTW) and got some that have an IR-blocking coating that’s supposed to block face recognition cameras. Because that apparently needs to be a thing these days.

(I’m disappointed that these DuckDuckGo glasses don’t have a similar special coating. I like the company I got mine from, but I’d like to see more companies offering privacy-enhancing tech.)

why include an instance that doesn’t?

Because it lets you see how common or uncommon defederations are relative to the total set of all instances (or at least, all minus the long tail of very-low-user-count ones). And although it would make the graph larger, it would also make it sparse and IMO that would also be easier to read.

It could also give a misleading impression that all instances defederate or are defederated by somebody, making people think it’s more common than it actually is. (Or maybe not doing that, if you include all^ish instances and it still ends up being not very sparse.)

I’ve had people get mad at me when I state the comparison that plainly (because they think I’m making light of SA or something, IDK), but yes.

Microsoft doesn’t understand consent. Everyone ought to stop accepting its abuse and kick Windows to the curb as a matter of basic self-respect.

Get an old bike that’s in good mechanical condition but looks shitty.

Alternatively, figure out how to take the bike with you on the bus. My transit system’s buses have bike racks on the front, but if yours doesn’t, get a folding bike (e.g. a Brompton).

But they only got up to 17 GB on Windows and 11 GB on Linux. With 32 GB available on both.

In other words, if the systems had 16GB instead, it might’ve made a huge difference. Too bad they didn’t pull a stick from each system and check again.

Or a felony violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act!

I won’t use a Meta product under any circumstance, but I’m not going to pay an unlimited amount of money, either. If the alternative can’t get reasonably close to Meta’s reasonable prices, that just means I will continue to never get VR at all.

If they’re doing a bit, it’s too mean-spirited to be a good one.
