In this heat, the lamp might act as an AC unit.

I’m sure they’re open to suggestions…?

'Cause it smarts when I do.

Go towards the light, Carol-Ann.

(Only those of a certain age are likely to get this reference.)

They’re just trying to encourage people to use their imaginations instead of only seeing what’s… *ahem*… put out for them.

Even if you have to do it yourself.

Your name Schrodinger, by chance? And are you looking for your cat?

The Walmart shopping app does this, too. With a cart full of upwards of 200 items, (we shop infrequently, so the list is big by the time we do), it infuriates the hell out of my spouse and I. I won’t even get into how random and haphazard the items are ordered (and it’s not due to the order we selected things).

In America, although I’m sure that’s on the Republican shit-can list.

It’s actually playable in browsers on multiple web sites.

The difference to me is celebrities are making art that you are free to ignore at will with virtually zero real impact on your life. Politicians CANNOT be ignored because the things they do most certainly WILL impact our lives regardless of whether you ignore them. Therefore it is imperative that we keep tabs on them.

Hey, VisiCalc was an absolute revelation, man!

Hey, 16 bit color is well over 65,000 colors - just how many do you need to show a lousy deck of cards?!?

Already did, just couldn’t get them enacted. Still can’t since I’m not from NYC.

Yeah, any individual that is “fortunate” enough to not have any issues that make them unusable for the purpose of Cannon Fodder.

Ain’t that shit considered “entrapment”?

I’m not sure I’d be a good reference for what should be in the article as my life has been… unusual, to say the least. I used to be quite techy, albeit mostly self-taught. A couple decades ago my life changed dramatically & took me away from all that. Now I’d like to play some catch-up, but still don’t really have the time, budget, and now brain power for it (older ADHD sufferer).

I mean I can still remember some random basics like a minimal TCP/IP understanding, my fingers still have some muscle memory on using a *NIX shell (tcsh in SCO UNIX, to show my age) & vi (supplanted by vim now), etc. I was just getting into VMs when shit went down, so I get the basics there. But I don’t fully understand what exactly docker, flatpacks, snaps, etc. are, their differences, advantage to each, etc.

And don’t get me started on init - I cannot fathom what a monolithic systemd provides that is so much better than traditional startup systems that it was worth breaking the UNIX philosophy of small, simple programs dedicated to singular tasks for.

But like I said, my situation is kinda unique so I don’t expect to find much info targeting former techies who effectively may as well have been in a coma for over 20 years. But some explainers that get to the point of all that’s come along in that time without treating me as if I’m clueless would be nice.

ETA: and no, I wasn’t in prison, or anything like that. Just stuff happened that severely screwed me up.

Might have more luck suing the company running the camera software which flagged it.

I have yet to see a decent explainer on things like VMs, docker, flatpacks, etc. all in one place/article.
