‘Freedom Convoy’ lawyers attempt to block Ottawa residents from testifying at trial
Isn't blocking Ottawa residents what they are on trial for in the first place?

Firmware.

Hardware is the physical part of computer.
Software is the code that runs on the computer to do the thing you want to do.
Firmware is the code that is installed on the hardware itself, usually in some sort of permanent or semi-permanent memory to make the hardware work.

Elon Musk supports eliminating voting rights for people without children
How about instead we eliminate the voting rights (and eligibility to hold office or judgeships) of those who are within 10 years of their life expectancy? Childless middle-aged adults have a lot more stake in the state of the world they are going to be living in for the next 40-50 years than the old farts who are about to die.

I haven't heard much about Bezos since he sent Shatner to space and then was a total dick and cut him off during his post flight interview.
His ex, on the other hand, has been taking her half of the divorce settlement and giving hundreds of millions to good causes.
Best thing that man ever did was divorce her.
Excuse me, I think today's Amazon package has arrived.

Night owls of Lemmy, what do you like to do at night?
Have a gummy, watch TV, play video games.
My wife goes to bed early, so I get a few hours to myself to watch whatever show I'm interested in that she's not, and play video games without it taking my attention from the family.

As Reddit Crushes Protests, Its User Traffic Returns to Normal
Reply in thread
Take a look at the site, you'll notice many usernames consisting of a random adjective or noun in front of a random noun and a random number at the back. Sometimes they are in camel case, sometimes they are separated by dashes or underscores.
That's the format of the usernames that Reddit suggests. That doesn't really mean much.

If Lemmy and Mastodon continues to get popular, we will eventually get Instance wars.

If some of the 3rd party app devs convert their reddit apps to fediverse apps, that will really get the ball rolling

In which game did you spend the most hours?
Definitely factorio, but I can't tell you how many hours. I started playing on steam, but then downloaded it from factorio.com and had multiple installs so I could play different mod packs. Steam says 1100 hours, but it's got to be 3 or 4 times that, total. I've played multiple saves that took several hundred hours

What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected?
Hand rolls of stretch wrap. Have an artificial Christmas tree you want to make for back in the box? Wrap that thing up. Have a stack of stuff you want to bind together to move more easily? Wrap it.

The thing I use mine for most is vegetables. Not sure how roasting Brussels sprouts or making kale chips makes me lazy.

IRA for a child
I'm no expert, but I'm gonna say no. Your child would need to have earned income. Allowances or getting paid for household chores isn't going to cut it.

TIL How scientists shave ants, and also the ant hair has very cool reflective properties.

I always shave twice. Once with the grain, then against the grain. I don't ever get razor burn or ingrown hairs.
