Austin Powers was made approximately as long ago as Austin spent frozen.
Finally those capitalist pigs will pay for their crimes, eh? Eh comrades?

RTX 4070 Super launch day sales are rumored to be a ‘disaster’ – what’s going on with Nvidia’s new GPU?
My Nvidia 1070 with 8gb vram is still playing all of my games. Not everything gets Ultra, nor my monitor isn't 4K. Forever I am the "value buyer". It's hard to put money into something that is marginally better though. I thought 16g would be a no-brainer.

How disheartening for Snowden to do the right thing and be stranded in Russia.
Reply in thread
It's pretty crazy that he left his cushy job getting paid a government contractor salary and living in Hawaii and end up in Russia living in exile. He didn't strike me as someone who hates America - but someone who hated the abuse of power and lies. Which is all the more ironic. I still can't reconcile it. I understand that America isn't ALWAYS the good guy, and it's got a long history of awful things. But Russia? I still don't get it.

Who is this "Jenkins" and what now has broken him?
Ah, good 'ol Jenkins. It's on my list of software I never want to use again, twice.
One feature was really sweet though: being able to edit the Jenkinsfile script inline and run it. On the other hand, that encouraged the wild cowboy lands. Contrasted to GitHub Actions, you get to see how many commits it took to get right 🙃

I find it hilarious that the image is of Google Play and the title used the word "this". Pretty misleading

I recall Snowden speaking out against WikiLeaks because they were a seemingly unfiltered trove of secrets disseminated, and he considered it reckless. Whereas Snowden worked with Greenwald and his team and ultimately had them figure out what to be published.
I definitely remember WikiLeaks and the Clinton campaign though! I thought that was a Julian Assange thing.

Airlines will make a record $118 billion in extra fees this year—their websites are designed to get you to pay
Reply in thread
Yeah, this is a pretty common thing for me as well. I prefer to sit by my wife on long flights (3+ hours) and will usually pay an enormous fee for a damned middle seat. Outside of that, pfft hell no. Then it's a toss-up whether I get what I want or not. The prices are pretty outrageous considering it costs nothing.
On exception was flying Lot Airlines to and from Poland. We picked seats together on both flights, and neither selection was honored. That was pretty BS. They couldn't fix it at the gate because the flight was full and it would be too difficult. 🤦♂️

I looked up a list of countries without extradition to the US and it's a short list today. I'm not sure what it was when this took place, but it's probably quite similar. Not many of the options seem like an appealing long term plan 🙃

Thinking about the better and cheaper stuff I have in my basement.

Bulleit is my go-to for cocktails at a bar. It's a fine flavor, widely available, and not too expensive. If you're ordering a cocktail you really don't need anything too nice because you're masking/blending the flavor with others. Buffalo Trace is my other go-to for the same reasons there.
Getting a nice bourbon neat, well, that's usually so expensive at a bar I'll only get it if the company is paying 😅

We have a tech literacy problem. We should strive to teach all who are willing to learn, and refrain from demonizing those who screw up. But yeah... Hopefully this bad experience is the push some users need to hear to take it more seriously.

Apple to pay $95 million to settle Siri privacy lawsuit
Reply in thread
Class members, estimated in the tens of millions, may receive up to $20 per Siri-enabled device, such as iPhones and Apple Watches.
Seeing as more than half the country uses an iPhone, I can't imagine getting anywhere near "up to $20". You're probably right.
