Good, hopefully that will spread to other countries as well.

It’s probably the city people moving into an area with fields and forests that have never heard cicadas before.

I remember being a kid and whacking them out of the air with a stick. There were hundreds.

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

They can at least be disabled but it’s always something with MS these days.

Sounds like something Chase would do.

But more likely you’re typing something wrong or their login servers are malfunctioning and return “no match” by default for safety. Thats always been my theory.

Instagram Advertises Nonconsensual AI Nude Apps (www.404media.co)

Instagram is profiting from several ads that invite people to create nonconsensual nude images with AI image generation apps, once again showing that some of the most harmful applications of AI tools are not hidden on the dark corners of the internet, but are actively promoted to users by social media companies unable or...

Yet another example of multi billion dollar companies that don’t curate their content because it’s too hard and expensive. Well too bad maybe you only profit 46 billion instead of 55 billion. Boo hoo.

Check out Easy Red 2, it’s like old-school Battlefield 1942, has good bots, and there can be up to 100 in a match I believe. On sale on Steam right now.

Hold on to 16 as long as you can

Not sure I like this because it assumes it is her business to decide whether you’re doing the job.

Metallica might have been more influenced by the Thin Lizzy version. But the song is older than The Dubliners.

dan1101 ,

The Breeders “Drivin’ on 9” was a cover of song by an obscure band called Ed’s Redeeming Qualities. The Breeders version is IMO sweet and meloncholy but the original is rather weird.

Some people have too much free time and too few brain cells.

Let’s not be dramatic, it’s per average day. Some days it isn’t 2 million.

Better make sure the generic hot woman doesn’t resemble anyone real though.

dan1101 ,

Same, there are too many humans and too much development and exploitation of Earth. None of the wealthy want to stop building and stabilize things.

dan1101 ,

As long as we control the power we have a chance.

They didn’t lose my trust but also I can see their bias regularly. Their bias is usually on the side of human decency but sometimes they are rather preachy about it n

Is he now going to sue the judge for defamation?

Yeah the hours the medical field demands seems ridiculous. I have a friend working 18 hour shifts as a transport driver. Why is that considered a good idea?

dan1101 ,

There seem to be a lot of exceptions for medic-related jobs.

Mine sounds like a big commotion, like a bunch of metal sculptures falling off a table. Luckily it doesn’t happen often.

dan1101 ,

Used to, now if I have a CD I just rip to MP3.

But when your brain is fascinated by all that has to happen for those screens and meetings to happen, it can still be an interesting job.

I’ve learned that many women are very into shoes and notice what shoes everyone is wearing.

The Mongols controlled Russia from around 1240 to 1481, a fairly long time. So Mongolia is entitled to the Russian lands.

That doesn’t help with memory hungry apps though.

There wouldn’t be so much news if people would quit doing stuff.

First rule, everybody stay home except essential workers.

Italian restaurant I bet. They often seem to have weird bathroom arrangements. One here has two toilets side by side with no partitions in between.

Surely more AI will fix it!

dan1101 ,

Wow. This is like assuming everyone is sitting at home ready to go on a moments notice.

dan1101 ,

I haven’t played the new one but the graphics are a huge upgrade. The player shooter thing in the original 2600 version is a plain rectangle.

dan1101 ,

You idiots.

I believe there is extraterrestrial life, unless God exists. Then who knows?

I think UFOs have natural explainations, are mistakes or hoaxes, or are human technology.

I seriously doubt aliens have traveled here only to play peek-a-boo in the skies. I could sooner believe UFOs were interdimensional anomalies than aliens who traveled from another planet in the universe via space.

Pros and cons of getting a job at a very small software company? (14 employees)

I have the opportunity to maybe get a job as a software developer at a small software company that employs 14 people. But my gut is telling me that getting a job at a small company like that might he terrible. Do you guys have any experiences working at companies that small?...

dan1101 ,

Also there may be very good coworkers or very bad coworkers, you’ll probably work closely with either.

And things will probably be a lot more informal.

dan1101 ,

Taylon

Well there’s the problem.

dan1101 ,

Yeah I keep seeing videos about new small trucks from Toyota and Subaru. Was disappointed when I realized the info was false.

dan1101 ,

I had a big cassette organizer. Later CD wallets.

CDs were so much better than cassettes. But as soon as I could get an MP3 player in the mid 1990s I was over CDs forever. The first car MP3 player I had was a dock for a computer hard drive, it had a faceplate that displayed file info and a knob to select songs/folders.

dan1101 ,

I had a double-sided suitcase type thing with slots for the cassette cases, it must have held 50 at least. That was on my car

And a wooden rack in the house that held dozens. I still have it and the cassettes in a closet somewhere.

The beginning of crappy unreliable service in my area happened years before DeJoy. It was when they closed down a ~5 year old local processing facility and started sending all the mail to a regional facility 60 miles away.

dan1101 ,

Alternate a bit, like 45 min of gaming and 15 min of work.

dan1101 ,

Nothing at all wrong with that once in a while.

dan1101 ,

I just call it planning. For days. Then I pack in about 15 min.

Israeli troops shoot and kill a Palestinian shepherd reading the Quran on his land (www.haaretz.com)

Three soldiers pounce on a shepherd sitting outside his sheep pen. They knock him over and then one of them shoots him to death at point-blank range. Fakher Jaber, a father of four, was suspected of involvement in an incident that probably never happened...

dan1101 ,

The quoted article is a bit short on details of what the shepherd was supposed to have done.

I was with someone who was upset when I left her alone. She finally divorced me.

I don’t remember exactly where I read it originally, but this article says something similar: nbcnews.com/…/earthquake-shakes-us-east-coast-rcn…

Earthquakes on the East Coast can be felt at a great distance and can cause more pronounced shaking in comparison to those on the West Coast because rocks in the region are often older, harder and more dense.

“These are competent rocks that transmit energy well,” Simons said.

A German state is ditching Windows and Microsoft Office for Linux and LibreOffice on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions (www.theregister.com)

Schleswig-Holstein, Germany’s most northern state, is starting its switch from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, and is planning to move from Windows to Linux on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions....

dan1101 ,

Yeah LibreOffice will do things like mail merges, but I mean it will probably require relearning the process. It will be different than the process they used with MS Office.

If you just porting over simple things like letters and simple documents you should be able to move back and forth between MS Office and LibreOffice with few changes.
