To be fair to the media, there just isn't enough time to cover all of the blatant corruption of Trump and his orbit. There are only so many hours in the day...

I think Israel didn't bother to 'talk', they just Leeroy Jenkinsed it up and the military decided they had to ride or die with it...

Oh I'm certainly in the 'do both' crowd, but particularly in summer I just wish the parking lots I had to go to were shaded more... Also in the rain...

You forgot "yes to more bribes to politicians"

True, though as he pointed out, at the time they released it, it was against microUSB and lightning was better, to be fair.

Then they just ignored USB-C for way too long a time.

Because it can be a pretty steep hit to power output/efficiency compared to angling them to face the sun.

Cost per watt is significantly higher this way compared to what you generally see. It allows more sharing of sun between other uses and solar, but it comes at the expense of not letting the solar get as much sun for the same panel cost.

I think it's unreasonable to say it's fossil fuel propaganda. I like having shade and coverage in a car parking lot.

It's not that the solar covering is just for solar power, but it's a convenient pitch to combine the use cases where sure, solar covering parking is more expensive than solar straight on the ground, and sure, a plain covering is cheaper than a solar covering, but right now the lots are uncovered bits of asphalt that could be better.

Yeah, beating someone who takes a game super serious is super unlikely...

About the only exception was seeing some people who took fighting games seriously in some fighting games the rando pressing random buttons was hard to beat.

Well some have a 'team sports' ideology where your team is your team, no matter what may come. So you always support 'your team' or else you are a bad person. Nevermind that 'your team' displays no loyalty to you and screws you...

What's scary is that beyond Trump's 37%, there's still some people that will now badmouth Trump and what he has done, and perhaps their biggest worry is that because Trump did so badly, the Republicans will lose power. They get actively screwed on economy and foreign wars while the party cheers on and they still say "well at least they aren't democrats"

Then there's the folks that are at least happy that they are grabbing hispanics off the streets. Was exposed to a conservative ranting about wasting our resources in Venezula, of being too cozy with Israel especially with the Iran war, and even going so far as to blame the Israeli relationship for the death of Charlie Kirk... But at least he was doing something about those scary Mexicans...

I've found competitive games just aren't for me.

When I'm doing well competitively, I'm just not having as much fun. Have to take it too seriously to compete and particularly in strategy games the best strategy is often not the most fun.

Playing with known friends in a small instance is decent, but playing in an open scenario just feels exhausting.

I frankly don't know about Apple and Tim Cook specifically, but broadly a lot of enthusiasts may not be as excited about revenue and profit as they are about how good the experience is for them.

For example, looking at a well executed enjoyable game with no bullshit micro transactions or loot boxes or anything most would agree that is a good game.

But revenue and profit wise some random low effort mobile game with micro transactions would blow that good game out of the water business wise.

Unfortunately, lots of "better business" is explicitly screwing over the customers as much as they can possibly get away with, so I'm not super excited about arguments around revenue, profit, and market cap as a measure of a company I should like to buy from.

It's putting whatever you want and what you don't want on the home screen, including for example launching into search.

My phone stock launcher search dialog that once would have been to type the app name became a 'multi-search' that would do internet search and AI search and app search was sluggish and third set of results. So I go for a launcher that keeps the app search field just a quick name based search of applications.

It does also do things like let me opt into fitting more icons on the screen at a time, since the default launcher has some ludicrous small number of icons on screen at a time.

Also, the scrolling lets me scroll letters to rapidly get to apps starting with 'm' for example without typing, though I never use that.

It also presents a different 'folder' design where a tap on it launches a default app from the group, and a quick slide opens it up to select a less popular, alternate app quickly.

Also, two finger swipe from top takes me straight to typing app name to launch.

Someone else I knew swapped launchers just to have a different wallpaper behavior that their stock launcher wouldn't do.

Currently using Octopi.
