The American public school system as it currently exists is largely a joke.

Android apps are blocking sideloading and forcing Google Play versions instead (arstechnica.com)

You might sideload an Android app, or manually install its APK package, if you’re using a custom version of Android that doesn’t include Google’s Play Store. Alternately, the app might be experimental, under development, or perhaps no longer maintained and offered by its developer. Until now, the existence of...

…as I upvote you from my Pixel. ☹️ I give the sad face because Google isn’t who they once were and I’m just going to have to deal with that.

I smoked for a decade and have been quit for 19 years.

Made me think of something that Brett Easton Ellis would write.

I donate to Planned Parenthood AND I don’t eat at Chick-fil-A. Win-win.

It’s not you. If I’m at a RESTAURANT and can’t hear my friends, I leave. I won’t spend money at a place I have to yell to be heard (unless there’s a band I specifically want to see or I’m at a bar, but even bars have limits).

Stewart can play both roles on his own. He will not hesitate to call EITHER side out.

hogmomma ,

That is one diabolic curse. Diane, remind me to never piss off Empricorn.

hogmomma ,

Could a grease monkey script do something similar? I’m probably just talking out of my butt, but it seems like GM can sometimes do things easier or better (or just at all) that extensions can’t or won’t do.

Ah, gotcha.

Intel's stock drops 30% overnight —company sheds $39 billion in market cap | As of now, Intel's market value is a fraction of Nvidia's worth and less than half of AMD's (www.tomshardware.com)

Intel’s stock dropped around 30% overnight, shaving some $39 billion from the company’s market capitalization since rumors of a pending layoff first emerged. The devastating results come after the chip giant reported a loss for the second quarter, complained about yield issues with the Meteor Lake CPU, provided a modest...

If you can tell what the person means, there’s no reason to publicly correct their spelling or grammar.

hogmomma ,

I said “publicly.” I wasn’t commenting on the fact that you corrected someone, but the fact you did so publicly.

hogmomma ,

I’m no doctor, but you may want to check these out.

Reminds me of the episode of The Office where Jim tricks Dwight into being his own assistant.

The Notebook, but it’s on the moon.

Call me weird, but I have never once salivated to the smell of any wood.

replacing Biden now may help Trump win, but it may also help Trump lose, whereas in contrast NOT replacing Biden now may help Trump lose, or it could help Trump win.

Either that quote doesn’t really mean anything, or maybe I’m missing the nuance to it.

Turning the thermostat up will either cool the house or warm it. Turning the thermostat down will either warm the house or cool it.

I’ve been using Gmaps since forever and can say I’ve never had any problem with it. I mean, it took me to the business office instead of the main entrance to a theme park once, but I can hardly fault it for that. Calling it actual hot trash just seems so out of nowhere to me. It’s a fine product that I’ve had great experience with.

hogmomma ,

It’s great on road trips! About a decade ago, my wife and I loaded up the car and just sorta started heading south. We were on the road for about four weeks using nothing but Yelp and Gmaps. It was great!

Alli block fat absorption, I don’t think the two you mentioned do.

Salesmen of north-eastern Pennsylvania, I ask you once more: Rise and be worthy of this historical hour! No revolution is worth anything unless it can defend itself!

Head of group responsible for Project 2025 threatens violence if people challenge their "revolution" (www.salon.com)

“And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be,” he said.

I’m going to put an lgbtq+ flag in my classroom next year. I don’t expect anything to come of it, but you never know.

If you don’t shop there to begin with, continuing to not shop there isn’t boycotting.

I had to buy a Clicker for college in a day when any number of phone apps, or even the Smart board, would have done exactly the same thing. I think it cost about $150 and the only thing it did – THE ONLY THING IT DID – was serve as an expensive and drastically crippled version of Kahoot. Abject waste of money for all parties involved.

I’ve never gotten Handbrake to do anything I wanted. DVD Shrink, on the other hand, is one of my top five most-used apps. It’s quite old, but DVD encryption hasn’t changed since its release.

It’s the level of commitment. You can start and stop online activities with almost no preparation or planning. When you watch a movie, you have to mentally prepare yourself to be in one spot and paying attention to one thing for an hour and a half. When you play video games, it takes effort to turn on the console or launch Steam / Epic / whatever.

For work, I use Chrome, but only because Firefox’s profile management is (more or less) nonexistent. Once they have that, which I understand isn’t too far out, I’m ditching Chrome entirely.

hogmomma ,

What’s this, you say? Floorp? Sounds like you’re setting me up for a Futurama joke, or something.

hogmomma ,

I’ll see what’s up, as long as it doesn’t require admin rights.

hogmomma ,

Why’s that?, if you don’t mind me asking. I have no skin in the game, just curious.

hogmomma ,

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted; not everyone is comfortable (technologically or morally) with pirating.

US Army officer resigns over 'unqualified support' for Israel (taskandpurpose.com)

He wrote that the justifications for Israel’s war in Gaza became “difficult to defend” and that “whatever the justification you’re either advancing a policy that enables the mass starvation of children, or you’re not.” The post received an outpouring of support with hundreds of likes and comments in just a few...

Yay! Making jokes about the name of a person who took a stand and put his money where his mouth is is fun!

hogmomma ,

Big-time disagree. Been using Windows and Mac versions of Office for over two decades. The Windows version is far superior in pretty much every metric I can think of.

When was it ever just one portal with everything available?

Why build one when you can build two for twice the price?

The biggest risk is that it renders your pineal gland completely useless. (not the face, not the face, not the face)

I’d go with Possessor by Brandon Cronenberg. I’ve only seen it once so far, and the unfolding of the story was such that you had to work for it. It wasn’t impenetrably dense, but I definitely had to give it the attention it demanded.

hogmomma ,

What do you mean by “also?” Do you tip twice?

hogmomma ,

Curious about your movie-buying habits… How do you determine what you buy? Movies that look interesting? That you’ve seen before? A little bit of both?

hogmomma ,

Genuine curiosity, why does it matter which platform it comes out on? Asking from a comlnsole-only point of view. I only game on PS5, so I’ll never get to play Xbox-only games. But if you’re on a PC, you can just get the other platform?

hogmomma ,

Did you let them know why you uninstalled?

hogmomma ,

I don’t understand this mindset. Could you elaborate a bit? What about Amazon’s service or products made you feel enslaved by them?

hogmomma ,

Just to be clear, what they pay their employees and the commercials they show made you feel enslaved?

hogmomma ,

I think you’re being just a touch dramatic, but aight, dude. I don’t have any relationship with Amazon other than being a Prime subscriber.
