Definitely noticed that with Mastodon – there’s not a whole lot of folks talking/reacting with one another. I suspect it’s related to the user base (doesn’t have critical mass, demographics, or activity) or a discoverability issue. Bluesky, on the other hand, has a whole lot more engagement on a host of topics.

The best they can do is probably close their Canadian/Mexican plants if the losses are too great, which would increase unemployment in those areas for not only the automotive factories, but also the ones for the automotive suppliers. Even if a Chinese company swoops in to buy the factories, it’d take time to set things up.

They did that when the TPP was scraped too.

Cheap USBs mean cheap read/writes.

Makes me think of the episode of Batman Beyond called “Shriek.”

Do we have a plant-based chicken substitute?

If you’re going on a long road trip, yes.

Yeah for the same price as the color option you could get a Garmin Vivoactive​ on a sale.

Isn’t that the FCC?

I figured it was related to the hardware architecture, but I’m curious if this is for security reasons (potential exploits that the OS can’t resolve) and/or just a support bandwidth concerns managing 2 OS code bases (on top of the obvious revenue from new licenses).

If the hardware security isn’t the issue, then switching to Linux is a good money saving choice for those that are tech savvy.

I mean at a subconscious level, they have feelings for each other – a good chunk of the show is them dancing around that concept. That being said, all they both know is that it’s a marriage of convenience – neither knows the full identity of the other.

Yor constantly worries she won’t measure up to Loid’s needs, and that’s a risk to government scrutiny by the secret police. Loid worries his relationship with Yor doesn’t look airtight, and could compromise Operation Strix. Everything they do publicly to prove their relationship is legit is an act in which any enjoyment is a secondary benefit (like the scene above).

But…Loid and Yor are faking it to avoid scrutiny.

Or Rapture

As much as I love Sync, it has been almost a year since the last update.

It’s not winning, it’s about “the libs” losing – and that’s enough for them.

Oh that irony would be painful.

Better marketing, better UI, lots of users, and plenty of non-political content.

Whenever they shifted focus to Crowley is when things got more interesting. I mostly just watched for Dean being Dean.

Man you’re in for a ride if you watch the full thing. Be warned that season 6 is a bit rough.

Plus, these have to be automotive grade, which requires a higher tier of durability. Not a lot of profit margin to be made on those sorts of devices.
