I'm right there with you but unfortunately I must report that Facebook is still firmly entrenched in many circles. Like if my kid's school posts some news on their website but not their facebook page, I've seen parents get riled up about that.

That kind of suggestive language gives me a large hadron.
It amuses me to play Roblox with my son when he's on a tablet or console and I'm using the Sober app to run the Android client on my Linux desktop that was built to be a windows gaming PC several years ago when he was a little baby.
He has an old PC that he doesn't use much, but he's got a much fancier one on the way.
Is it though? Sure they’ll have a couple great quarters
STOP TALKING! WE ARE FUCKING SOLD!
The entire developed world is on the path to the population stabilizing then gradually decreasing. I've pointed this out multiple times for exactly the reason you state. Policy in the US is horribly backwards even before we get to the immediate damage done to real humans.
Well, the Snaps are one of the things they took out. Flatpaks are enabled in the software manager by default though.
I believe everything that comes preinstalled, including Firefox and LibreOffice and such, is installed the traditional way as if you did "apt install firefox."
I installed LibreWolf and like it. It's just firefox with telemetry removed and some privacy hardening out of the box.
Check out Mint. It's based on Ubuntu but has Canonical's controversial stuff removed, plus an added layer of polish.
Ah, yeah it's affected everything across the board. But with the US context and you talking about giant vehicles, $60K vehicles, and 3 rows, I thought we were focused on the larger end of the population as a whole.
I bet the crash safety design of the current honda civic was definitely influenced by the truck regulations and that whole market driving the large end even larger.
Funny enough, I am eagerly awaiting the official announcement of the 2026 MX-5 of all cars.
Alright fine, I can tolerate the little ✨AI ✨ sparkles in my M365 webpages a while longer if it means more kaboom at the end.
I wonder if it's a white balance thing, as in the setting you'd see on a camera or in a post processing tool.
For instance, consider that "soft" or "warm" light bulbs (say 3000K and below) are common in cozy indoor areas. They cast a much more yellow color of light compared with a daylight bulb or actual daylight, which will look very blue in comparison.
It's like the model detected that the image was people in a living room and it applied a warm white balance to the whole picture because most images of a family in the living room have warm lighting globally.
But since it is a machine and apparently has not yet been explicitly taught that comics generally have bright colors and no strange tints, then it does not adjust accordingly.
I wonder if that is even giving it too much credit. Maybe it's just the deterioration from all the iterations of garbage in, garbage out.
Who would have thought that the Orphan Crushing Machine was just a stock Ford F-150 this whole time?
It sure sounds like it's time to check my 401k and get out of US stock based funds while there's still something left.
The current Shiller PE ratio is over 40. The only other time it was that high in recorded history was 1999 into 2000. And that uniquely crazy time was due to... lemme just check my notes... a massive tech bubble. Fantastic.
The mean and median for the ratio are both below 20. I like the graph on this site: https://www.multpl.com/shiller-pe
(for anybody not familiar, the PE ratio or P/E stands for price/earnings, or how high the stock price is relative to how much money the company makes)
