This is a fantastic video. I spend less and less time on Reddit now because every time I’m there I eventually get struck with a “this isn’t real people” feeling after reading something. It will always be either mundane repetitive bullshit or yet another post demanding civil war or stoking a feeling of helplessness.
Lemmy and Mastodon are slow AF but they still feel mostly real.
I don’t understand something in all this. Does anyone seriously believe he’s railing against the giveaways to billionaires in this bill?
Because as near as I can tell, what he’s saying, and what every Republican who is rethinking this is saying when they say the bill gives them pause, is: the tax breaks are fine as per usual, the problem is the cuts don’t go nearly far enough.
Elon Musk appears to me to effectively be saying he will not rest until all social benefits in this country are completely and utterly done away with.
I hope that’s a joke. Airpods could be a Fortune 500 company all on their own.
No, I was serious, although after looking into it, I am surprised that hardware makes up 72% of their income. Perhaps they could make up the 28% software revenue shortfall with innovative new hardware and still maintain that 3.06T market cap, eh?
Proton cannot even link to FAQ or customer support pages from its apps, as Apple believes it’s possible that users will then navigate from the support page to a pricing page and upgrade their accounts without paying Apple its fee.
I didn’t realize this either.
Yeah, this also is why Apple has been so sluggish on PWAs (and why they won’t allow third party browsers). There is literally nothing that can be done in an app that can’t be done quicker and easier as a PWA these days. But how is Apple going to make any money if you can publish your own app and take your own payments? They would then become a hardware vendor and that would absolutely ruin them as a company.
Apple will throw everything they’ve got at this to attempt to maintain the status quo.

Man, it’s wild to see them go from one-child to this in a single generation.
No, but I don’t use cloud at all, I have a system for doing manual local backups for all my machines. I also have two Windows machines for gaming (that I will be switching to Linux in October) and a Linux media server.
I subbed to salty caramel apple. Love the retro vibe.
I stay several generations behind on purpose now. For one thing, shit costs too much. My Mac is a 2020 Air I got from a friend when his dad died for $300. I can’t see myself getting rid of that anytime soon, as it replaced a 2012 model that is still going strong (and is the computer I take into the field for work).
I cannot stand the size of Apple’s phones, I had an 8 and then an SE and I tried then to move to a 12 and I absolutely hated everything about it, size, weight - the bullshit camera switching between lenses and turning my zoomed-in photos into bizarre cartoons.
I also far prefer the button, as I have to take hundreds of pictures a day for work and FaceID fails, either by not waking the phone up when I pull it from the holster or by just outright not recognizing me in the sweat and sunglasses, making me have to manually open it, shake it, enter the code, swearing the whole time.
I’m now on an SE2 and when I have to get rid of it I’ll go to SE3, but I don’t know what comes after that. Androids aren’t any better.
This exactly. At some threshold of worth, you should get taxed an amount based on your worth that will be big enough to force you to realize some gains in order to pay it.
This is an illustration of why it’s a problem in the first place.
Google “tetragammaton.”
We need a word that describes “questions that cannot be answered with a simple yes/no asked with the explicit intent to make a sound bite for stupid people.” Germans do this kind of thing all the time. Some compound word like “stupid dummy-faced shitheel question.” Studu-fashtion.
“Give me 240 Sterlings for a Pound,” you’d say. Now where was I… ah, yes. The important thing was that I had a kipper in my waistcoat, which was the fashion at the time…
Why do they call the guy “sir” instead of “dipshit?”
Came here specifically to say “Black” FUCK I hate that song.
DO DO DOOT DOO DO DO DOOOOOOO
I’m not exactly sure - far from it - but I have this theory that we might be witnessing the death throes of religion (via its secularization) even though it doesn’t quite look like it from the outside. All that repressed sexuality really fucks people up and when they get unmoored from it they go into a sort of psychic apoplexy, which is what we are witnessing. I’m grasping at straws here because goddamn is it weird rn.
The place I’m referring to is called Pita Jungle. Their baba is a bit healthier I think than the Serious Eats one, can’t find a super great picture of it, but this is it. My copycat is below, instructions are for a gas range but would be similar on a grill.
2 medium eggplants roasted
5 tbs tahini
3 tbs plain yogurt (not Greek)
5 roasted garlic cloves
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 tsp cumin
1.5 tsp kosher salt, or more to taste
1 tbs Extra virgin olive oil
To roast the garlic, cut of the top of a head and wrap in foil. Pour some olive oil over the top, twist foil closed and roast in the oven, 45 minutes at 400F (no preheat). Poke eggplants in several places with a fork to vent. Roast eggplants by covering in foil and roasting over a gas flame set to Medium. Use the biggest burner, set at the halfway point - it has to burn the eggplant somewhat to get the smoke flavor. Roast the eggplant 7 minutes per quarter-turn until eggplants are soft (28 minutes total, 1 full rotation over the flames). Remove eggplants from foil/fire and allow to cool. Peel eggplant and put half in the blender, set aside the other half.
Along with half of the eggplant, add the rest of the ingredients to the blender and blend until thoroughly creamy. Add the second half of the eggplant and blend, but only slightly, leaving some texture.
Chill, serve with charred pita (char over a big burner on low for 1 minute per side), garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, sliced cucumber, tomato wedges and kalamata olives.

We have a place here that has Baba that is unbelievable. I worked for years to perfect it and managed to make a perfect copycat. When it’s right, it’s just one of the best things.
For me it’s because it seems evident that Microsoft wants Windows to be saas and here’s the thing: I don’t like Windows that much. For over 20 years now, I’ve preferred Linux for server stuff and Mac for daily driver stuff, I’ve only tolerated Windows, mainly for gaming.
Since Windows 7 died (I skipped 8 altogether and reluctantly have been dealing with 10 with lots of hacks to keep it locked down), I have only been barely tolerating it - and games were the sole reason.
Well, Proton has now obliterated that, conveniently right as Microsoft has decided that what people REALLY need is for them to be 100% shit. I refuse to install 11. So I’m out.
