I worked on it, it’s not Roger Rabbit, but it’s a decent film. Lots of human element and a feel good interesting take on Acme vs Coyote.

A decent Plymouth to punch that juniper through?

You can taste the gin in that?

Took me an hour in the evening to do the cash admin and banking when I worked in retail, for a 3-6k a day business years ago. I think my hour was cheaper than 1.5% of takings, but then card was usually faster at checkout, so maybe it does all balance out.

I’ll put Hayman’s forward as a neutral middle ground.

Fuckin nihilists, dude.

Thermal sand batteries are a thing, I think?

That was some solution talked about on Undecided.

I’ve got a checklist of what needs to run well in order to switch, but Lutris just gave a big AI fuck you to users so I’m not hopping yet.

I think if it’s understood that it’s your first and you’re exploring, an understanding stranger can be a great ‘trial run’, but finding that person will take trust and patience. You control this.

When your enemies are destroying each other, do not interrupt.

I think it’s fine to pay for a service, rather than free but monetise the data and push ads.

The space is a massive jumble of competing ideals and desires for the replacement right now. Fluxer looks optimistically promising based on the stated desire to be as much of a reverse-engineered open source clone as possible. If that’s what the majority want - a simple drop-in replacement - then it’ll succeed.

Oh look, a billionaire baby boomer who thinks immigrants are the problem.

Can we get his head sized for a basket please?

No accountability so far.

Asif Lehrer’s “employees” amount to one other family member and a host of dissolved tiny computer companies according to Companies House, not exactly a pillar of upstanding community business.

Should be stripped of his license for weaponising a vehicle.

That feels so much like niche coder hobbyist hurdles that I really doubt people en masse would make the switch by themselves.

“Give us personal data or we won’t be able to monetise every waking moment of your life” seems like a real silver lining. I wonder if they then can’t legally do certain marketing things because the user isn’t age verified?
