[OC] A look at the rides
  • Valkyria?

  • Ladybird announcement
  • Thank you!

  • Nvidia set to face French antitrust charges, sources say
  • It voiced concerns regarding the sector's dependence on Nvidia's CUDA chip programming software, the only system that is 100% compatible with the GPUs that have become essential for accelerated computing.

    I wonder if changing this would indirectly benefit open source drivers for Linux?

  • Belching
  • I feel confident in assuming the guy who would wear this shirt seeking “girls” between the ages of 18 and 26 is himself no younger than 45.

  • Are Tetra Paks actually recycled?
  • They’re marketed as being recyclable along with the cans that might appear at a picnic. Whether they actually get recycled is another question; I’ve seen more picnic shelters with recycling bins, but certainly not all.

    Some buyers in their online reviews said they were washing and reusing the cups instead of recycling them. I don’t know how effective that is but assume it’s fine. They would be a better choice than glass at places like pools where glass is prohibited.

  • Ladybird announcement
  • As someone who has done no programming since taking C++ in high school more than 20 years ago, what do you mean by safer language?

  • Work from home
  • It might not qualify her for disability insurance, as in she no longer needs to work any jobs, but should absolutely entitle her to disability protections, as in job requirements should be modified to permit her to continue to work. If her employer is not making accommodations to permit her to continue to work then she might have a legal case.

  • Are Tetra Paks actually recycled?
  • I mostly see them used for 1/2-gallon milk and small juice containers in the U.S. I’m in Canada right now and see them being used a lot for large juice containers also. I could see glass used for those (as they were in the past) but with the higher risk of breakage it’s not as ideal, but have a harder time picturing aluminum being used for milk and at least some of the more acidic juices. Does aluminum work with those beverages?

    You seem informed on the subject: I’ve recently seen aluminum single-use cups advertised, targeting the same market as red plastic cups commonly seen at picnics. Those plastic cups are rarely recyclable, so I’m assuming the aluminum kind are more eco-friendly assuming they get recycled, even with high energy usage?

  • TIL: The Chicken soup for the soul publisher owns redbox
  • And now they’re bankrupt!

  • NASA and Boeing say Starliner astronauts ‘are not stranded,’ but will be on the ISS for a few more weeks
  • As long as they didn’t bring any whistles with them they’ll be fine!

  • We get played
  • Yes, this picture is of Rick Moranis playing Seymour Krelborn in Little Shop of Horrors while holding Audrey II.

  • Hack of Age Verification Company Shows Privacy Danger of Social Media Laws
  • I saw they were also used by companies like DoorDash, Uber, and UpWork to verify remote contractors.

  • Woof
  • There are more upvotes on this post than subscribers to the new community. I think we’ll need to see some posts first!

  • Eumetsat moves weather satellite from Ariane 6 to Falcon 9
  • Very unusual timing. I wonder if they had some inside information that their projected launch date was likely to slip and they went searching for alternatives, or if SpaceX was just trying to win the mission and got a good combination of price and doubt in the Ariane 6? I get the feeling that SpaceX isn’t exactly hurting for customers for Falcon, so I doubt it’s the latter option.

  • Microsoft CEO of AI: Online content is 'freeware' for models • The Register
  • I look forward to the lawsuits that will ultimately cost this man his job.

  • Eminem serving food to customers at his Mom's Spaghetti restaurant, 2021 in Detroit, Michigan
  • Your Little Caesars restaurants have tables?!

  • Whales
  • Whale biologist!

  • What’s Your Oldest System?
  • I still have my original Game Boy that was a gift from my aunt and uncle. Still works but I rarely play it; need to find some of my other games for it.

  • Linux market share passes 4% for first time; macOS dominance declines
  • ~15-20% is nothing to sneeze at, but hardly dominance

  • Are you using GOG games on your Steam Deck?

    A couple games popped up on my Steam wishlist at really low prices so I was thinking of getting them, but I’ve also had a few older computers recently that are losing Steam client support. This got me thinking I should really try to compare and get more games on GOG so it doesn’t matter if a client stops working on older hardware. But also following this community has had me thinking a Steam Deck makes a lot of sense for me, so maybe I’ll try to get one in the next year or two. It seems like Steam tries to keep things open to other sources on the device, but have you been playing non-Steam games, and how much hassle has it been?

    Also the games I was considering are Donut County and Planet Coaster, if you have any thoughts on those.

    So that's probably a Yes

    This was a couple weeks ago. He said he wanted to try me on stimulant medication, but I needed to go get clearance from my primary care doctor because I've also been dealing with some tachycardia. She put me on a beta blocker, although hopefully with better time-management and more energy I'll exercise enough to eventually come off the beta blocker. I had a follow-up this week and asked the psychiatrist if he thinks I have ADHD. He was a little reluctant to say I definitely have it, that it's more of a clinical diagnosis and I could go do some tests with a computer or see a neuropsychiatrist for a more definitive diagnosis, but also didn't seem to think I really needed to do that. Still need either a formal letter from my primary care doctor or possibly the visit notes would suffice if she mentioned taking stimulants so he can prescribe them, but I'm really hoping they'll help.

    What happens when an astronaut in orbit says he’s not coming back?

    An interesting story about a rarely discussed feature of the Space Shuttle, that lives on in the commercial crew capsules, to prevent travelers from killing everyone onboard.
