Yet they neutered solar for consumers with Nem3.

So they just made the live action movie into an animated movie?

Amen! For a backwater world seems that every important event originates from that dusty rock.

I assume it has to do with the fact that along the equator it's typically warmer and the equator runs through the northern part of South America. So if temperatures go up they'll go up there first and head north south respectively. I don't think they meant Souther Hemisphere as much as they mean Southern Mexico / South America.

From comments I've read in other threads some lemmy instances show the number of up and down votes respectively.

That's still a job that previously would have gone to a human.

Yes, but no. Cable didn't used to let you watch all seasons of a specific show on any given day and time of your choosing.

I also was initially very confused why Mario was upset about the rainbow flag.

It already does on my laptop. They also keep setting my default browser back to Edge. I don't use my laptop much anymore and keeping up with the BS of having to disable stuff I don't want running has become tiresome to the point where I don't even want to use it.

I know, I know, something something install Linux! Question I have there is my laptop is a gaming laptop so my question to all you Linux folks is. Can I continue to game using Linux. Will it work with my Nvidia Graphics card and Steam. If so I might consider it.

Yes I use TikTok. I don't watch short form content on any other platforms. I started on TikTok back in 2019. During the pandemic it was great. In the last year or so it's become a lot more TikTok Store ads. Which I guess was inevitable for a free platform that doesn't charge you to sign up or access it. Just like FB or Instagram they make their money off user data and ads. The only other problem I've had recently is it seems that they don't serve up the content of the people I follow as much as they used to.

The TikTok Algorithm is very tailored to what you interact with. So to me it's always very telling when people spout off what they see when they use TikTok. My For You Page (FYP) is all DIY, woodworking, funny dogs/cats, and married people humor. While my wife's FYP is dancing, new music/bands, and other funny humor.

I think it's an amazing advancement and that's awesome for a quadriplegic person to interact with the world.

The part that I haven't heard anyone mention is what is the life cycle of these chips. Computers and cell phones all become outdated so quickly. Are recipients guaranteed upgraded chips as they become available?

I was reading an article recently about people who have had implants in their eyes that help them to see become obsolete. One because the company stopped supporting the specific version that was in the patient. The other because the company had gone out of business.

It's a step in the right direction. But I don't see anything of substance coming from this. The U.S. has become a Corporate Oligarchy. Apple has enough money and desire to fight this through appeals and lobbying. Pay attention to who they lobby and make sure they are voted out of office. It's going to take a long time to correct what has happened over the last 20 or so years. It will require slow gradual change.
