It's the dream

This is a very weird fetishization of autism that does not reflect at all the hardships you have to go through as someone with it.

This is like saying ADHD people could run the world perfectly on hyperfocus while ignoring all the tradebacks like getting tf out of bed, and then the house, on time.

Jimmy Wales Says Wikipedia Could Use AI. Editors Call It the 'Antithesis of Wikipedia'

Reply in thread

While this is true, the majority of the wikis are not at all low quality. Some are the only ones existing for a topic. The wikis are community-based, after all.

But its easy to vandalize and is highly profit-driven. The fandom wikis are filled with ads that absolutely destroy navigation. Infamous is the video ad that scrolls you up automatically in the middle of reading once it finishes. You have to pause it to read the article with no interruption.

Kick faces possible $49 M fine after French streamer Jean Pormanove dies on air

Reply in thread

Kinda homeless? The victim is the largest french gaming streamer and definitely not homeless. There's indications of mental health problems but it's only visible on camera. There are no documents verifying it unfortunately (though it seems evident). The two killers are people he's known and hung out with for years.

Edit: The apartment was rented specifically for this stream.

Technically not. MacOS wouldn't be what it is today if apple didn't get any money out of it. They get that money from selling the hardware the software is exclusively on among other things. Let's say i. e. Ubuntu: When it first got released then it relied on its owners personal revenue for a long time. None of the hardware sold financed Ubuntu, because Ubuntu didn't earn money through hardware. It's obvious that the money earned by apple through its sales also go back into macOS, because if the hardware didn't make any money, macOS ceases to be developed as well.

With OPs logic, every software is technically free. But no, you pay for macOS with the hardware you purchase. You purchase the hardware because of the OS, not because of the hardware. Technically, you could spin the argument and say that you pay for the OS, and for it to be run a certain way and the hardware that comes with it is free. If that sounds like bogus it's because it is bogus.

Oat milk w/ coffee: ya or na?

I prefer it, but only specific ones with a barista label or ones meant to replace milk. Cheap oat milk doesn't cut it and separates too often for my liking.

Someone mentioned the Oatly Barista one. If you're in a country with Alpro, I really like their "Not Mlk".
