  • Sounds like they’re opposed to most forms of transportation

  • No, we need to properly destroy the foundation they stand on. Why do these supposed freedom-loving individuals fall for the rhetoric of fascists? Why is it that it only took a couple generations to forget how badly fascism affected our world?

  • I wonder how much functionality of Scrivener you could get in Obsidian. I found an article about someone setting their Obsidian vault up to run a workflow similar to Scrivener.

  • In 1999, how many people in the workplace, or specifically in management, would have been in school when they taught people how to use the internet? This is five years since public access to the WWW.

  • Only certain people had the knowledge to download and install freeware to a floppy disk. Most people in 1999 had no clue about freeware or even how to find stuff like that. Even today, most people who could know just don’t care enough to do it.

  • We assume WD isn’t outsourcing their firmware engineering. That could explain why they’re so quiet.

  • I’ve owned SanDisk for years, before 2016 and after. I haven’t seen a quality difference in the products I use but I also haven’t personally owned this Extreme drive. Flash memory used to have abysmal lifespans, like really bad at long-term storage. Makes me wonder if these Extreme drives are using old tech to save WD their bottom dollar.

  • It’s definitely not unlikely they knew these class-action suits were in the works long before they were formally filed. A lot of times these are not a surprise to a company with a massive legal team.

  • I wonder how representative the Extreme portable drives are to their SD cards. SanDisk cards have always been extremely reliable. I assume the Extreme drives are fabricated in a different factory or even outsourced to some random Shenzhen plant. Worrying is the idea that they’ve done the same with SD cards.

  • They’re under active litigation, why would they comment about something that they are being sued over? It’s obviously a huge legal issue. Not saying they should just stick to their narrative because they’re obviously wrong, but what are we supposed to expect? They’re not going to give up evidence by publicly releasing details.

  • Definitely seems like a difficult thing to establish without many years and many participants involved. Surveys would be an easy way to get people’s self-evaluation of their own usage of gratitude and the usage by other people, but their relevance to actual usage is probably limited.

  • They recognize exactly why people prefer larger vehicles and then completely miss why driving a smaller vehicle puts you at a disadvantage against those bigger vehicles. People would of course become very angry if they’re told their humongous, gas-guzzling, tank of a vehicle were illegal to operate on the road especially only 7 months into an 84 month loan.

    How then to reasonably phase these giant cars out? They’re directly more dangerous to everyone but the person sitting inside.

  • It’s safe to say Russia and China have actually helped contribute to a lot of the issues in the last decade by holding a lot of soft power online. The US government can’t stop an enemy that blends in with their sovereign users, advertisers, and content creators.

  • I run a Lenovo X1 Yoga on PopOS and the overall experience has been great. Touch screen works well and the only complaint I can make is that the on-screen keyboard could be a little easier to deal with but it isn’t bad at all.

  • Yeah it’s definitely the farms and wildfires and not the 1 billion gas guzzling vehicles we drive daily across the globe, the thousands of fossil fuel power plants, or the millions of factories pumping out metric tons of shit into the sky everyday.

    Edit: The context of the article is specifically about PM2.5, micro particles that are linked to dementia and other health issues. However, it’s arguable that the increase in wildfires is actually an indirect result of global greenhouse gas emissions. Here’s the EPAs report on the share of greenhouse gas sources in the US alone. Agriculture ranks low on total emissions, but potentially higher on PM2.5 emissions.

  • This already happened but it wasn’t the automotive company that took it down, if you look at the page now it’s an advertisement for some “AI-driven” advertising thing

  • You’re right, including that lot would have been a considerable difference in overall parking capacity. Even with the lots highlighted there’s still a tremendous amount of pavement.

  • It’s impressive how much “public” transit they have in place for getting people into and out of the park (almost as if spending some money on public transit pays massive dividends). Even then, they still have to put people’s cars somewhere.

    Disney World in Florida goes to greater lengths obscuring and spreading out how much parking fills up the park. It’s design is also a lot less confined by urban boundaries than Disneyland.

  • I just hope there’s some cute women out there that really like my hairy wrists (and total obliviousness) too
