Mac shipments grow 10%, as all major PC brands see downturns
It's not something is recommend if you are a big gamer. Windows is still king there. Linux is making a ton of progress but if you want a gaming machine do windows.
That said Macs with the new silicon and unified memory absolutely crush in a ton of areas. I run an AI job that takes 45s-120s on my Mac air m1 and 5m in my Nvidia gfx card and 10m-12m on my Ryzen cpu.

I play this game where I try to understand the ich_iel memes. I usually get close. Some of them are hilarious.

TIL that millennial dads are spending 3 times as much times with their kids than their fathers spent with them. Back in 1982, 43% of fathers admitted they'd never changed a diaper. Today, that number
As a millennial who just had a baby girl, I can't imagine being so disconnected that I hadn't changed a diaper.
I think parenting in general for both sexes is more involved and the expectations are much higher that it was for our parents. Making sure you get x tummy time or do y development activity or z social development classes with other babies etc.
I also think parents today are having kids more by personal choice than societal pressure. So they are more engaged and less "just going through the motions of what society expects".

FTC sues Amazon for 'tricking and trapping' people in Prime subscription
I've been a prime member since they offered it. It's gone up a bit since I started but they've also added more value to it. Prime video is nice as an "extra". Prime subs for twitch. Same day, overnight, 2 day shopping either for free or trivial cost. Their returns are fairly painless.
I have never even thought about cancelling it. Is it that hard?
I guess I've also never experienced being "tricked" into subscribing.

House to vote on Biden impeachment
Reply in thread
Lololol. The border situation that is objectively better than last year even with Title 42 ending and trending downward?
Also, these are encounters/apprehensions, which by the very definition of those terms means we are interdicting illegal crossers. So if you want to play the game of "record apprehensions!" Then, great. Kudos to the Biden administration for stopping the most people ever. More than Trump! More than Obama! More than Bush!
This is a waste of time and resources. For the party that throws "witch hunt" around, I can't think of a better term to describe this type of BS.
Fixing our immigration issues requires nuance and compromise. Neither of those things are an earmark of our current Congress or political climate.

Can I ask why you think that's too short? It seems like a long time for no activity on an account. And they are fairly generous about defining activity.
This seems reasonable to me.

How do we feel about Meta joining the Fediverse?

We would be opening the door to allow a large corporation to do what they've done with open source for a while. They'll privatize the public commons.
But all this work [GPL licensing] was ridiculed. Microsoft, through Github, Google and Apple pushed for MIT/BSD licensed software as the open source standard. This allowed them to use open source components within their proprietary closed products. They managed to make thousands of free software developers work freely for them. And they even received praise because, sometimes, they would hire one of those developers (like it was a "favour" to the community while it is simply business-wise to hire smart people working on critical components of your infrastructure instead of letting them work for free). The whole Google Summer of Code, for which I was a mentor multiple years, is just a cheap way to get unpaid volunteers mentor their future free or cheap workforce.
Our freedoms were taken away by proprietary software which is mostly coded by ourselves. For free. We spent our free time developing, debugging, testing software before handing them to corporations that we rever, hoping to maybe get a job offer or a small sponsorship from them. Without Non-copyleft Open Source, there would be no proprietary MacOS, OSX nor Android. There would be no Facebook, no Amazon. We created all the components of Frankenstein’s creature and handed them to the evil professor.
This article is actually pretty great.

What's your most-loved non-star movie/show?
Firefly definitely counts as lesser known. Op is on drugs.
I would pick Firefly, the Expanse, and Orville (for an unexpected great show.)

Kbin noob here - Is it the intended experience to take 2 clicks to open an image? (one to open the thread, then another to open the image)

you have to be logged in to see that icon. I learned that as I was going to ask "what icon?! I dont see anything". I guess I was logged out, but when I logged in, the icon appeared.

What headphones are you all using while gaming on Linux?
Sennheiser HD58x
My wife got them for me for my birthday years ago off of mass drop. They've been solid. No complaints.

In that sense, isn't Redhat pushing to CentOS Stream?

The jail one seems a little "edge case" but the dead relative one is interesting. I think Google's "takeout" would help with that.
