I like the Beaverton's take.
Lol, Niantic coding anything that actually works well is hilarious.
I'd also argue that Ingress players likely gave them way more useful data than PoGo
When the side you are negotiating with is a bully that keeps "negotiating" after invading more of your homeland and will just do that again in a few years, you stop negotiating and take what is yours back and make sure they remember that.
Sometimes negotiating amounts to enabling.
This atitude a modern day public entitlement encouraged by tabloids and selfish fans. Its unhealthy for the public and the entertainers. The fact that this attitude is what the public defaults to is the primary reason the "truly wholesome professionals" are gone from entertainment and we've been left with folks like Trump. You've created an environment that is actively hostile to the average person maintaining their sanity.
Similarly, the obsession that people have with taking pictures and knowing everything about an entertainer and invading their lives is why there is such a ridiculous level of fortune associated with these roles. No one in their right mind would do it otherwise.
This attitude drives the very principal it purports.
It's an interesting culture difference, but I live in Campbell River on Vancouver Island and have lived in several areas of rural Canada but generally when celebs come here and they are out to eat, as humans do, people let them be.
Yes cause god forbid he should be able to exist outside his house with his family. Fuck this attitude is self-centered. When people are out doing their thing and not at work being a star, leave em the fuck alone.
Fetal Heart "custody"?
I mean if it's a fetus I'm pretty sure the mother gets custody by default.
Still not ready to trust AMD/ATI again. I used them exclusively right up until they bought ATI and then decided fuck open source and the drivers for Linux tanked.
I hear all the issues folks have had with Intel/NVIDIA but I have yet to experience any of them. From where I'm sitting they are still working great. And their open source has not been perfect but its consistent. Instead of going from being golden to fuck you Linux folks overnight.
named a TV show after it
The Springfields?
As much as I love Vulcan, AB... based on the qualifiers for this post, it is disqualified by Dildo, Newfoundland.
Dildo, Newfoundland, Canada: 803 people as of 2021.
Someone here mentioned Vulcan, Alberta - however given the qualifiers of country and size, its 1769 people disqualifies it.
Also, though I am a Trekkie myself and know that Vulcan is well known in those circles, it's virtually unheard of outside them.
Meanwhile, Dildo:

I'd go back to the Yukon Gold Rush and make sure Fred Trump never made it out of Canada.
Edit: Doh! No consequences... huh. I'm not really sure it would be worth the trip then.
Time to build a new one and this time, dont tell investors.
In Canada, it must contain cream. Milk based desserts are labelled ice milk, and anything using oil or solids is a 'dessert'. The primary determining factor of the definition is the milk fat content.
Absolutely, especially with ADHD in the mix. When demand aversion kicks in, your brain literally tries to undermine any attempt to focus unless you can force it to cooperate. Music usually helps me with this.
Autistic Spectrum Disorder.
We don't have a natural ability to infer emotions from body language, for a start. We have to learn to actively pay attention to it. Replacing natural instinct that a neurotypical person has with an active thought process is tiring, for a start.
Add to that most ASD people have trouble with emotional control, need to actively think about their own facial expressions, and often have social quirks that are unacceptable like nail biting which must be actively repressed... and being around others for hours on end is exhausting.
On top of this, most ASD people also have ADHD, and in the modern open office environment between the social aspect and never ending barrage of distraction, and the workplace is hostile, actively hostile to folks with ASD.
This combination of factors leads to having no where to unmask and relax until they get home. When they do, they are so exhausted from being something they are not for 10 hours (commute has to be included as its all public space) that when they get home they just shut down. They don't call family or friends usually, they don't get things around the house done. They have to turn off and try to re-energize themselves for doing it all again tomorrow.
I know all this as I am ASD and ADHD
Being able to work from home has brought actual balance to our lives as we can unmask the moment the camera goes off, we have rooms at home where we can close the door and remove distractions (well except mandatory work chats, but its a matter of muting that for focus) and at the end of the day we still have energy for our actual lives. In other words, this is the true work-life balance that I had always heard of but never truly felt I had.
DuckDuckGo is still the main one but the Bing results annoy me (MSN news proxied articles from other news sites)

Was the planet where "The 37's" were found ever given a name or revisited in STO or in Novels?
As the title says, I'm curious if they ever named or revisited this Human civilization in the later parts of the timeline in any way? It seems like too good of an opportunity to not revisit it at some point.
My searches did not reveal any answer, so thought I'd ask my fellow trek nerds.
A candidate who has many interesting things to say about lots of stuff.
This is the most unfiltered article I've read from The Atlantic... by the time I finished the second paragraph I had to re-read the title to understand how I got here.
Edit: To be clear, this has been revealed as satire, its just so close to reality one could be forgiven for confusing the two.
The Dad Trilogy
Just had this one shared with me directly on signal and could not find it in here, nor could I find a source. Too good not to share though. If someone knows the meme creator I'll update this with proper credit.
About the "darkspace" Theme
Is the darkspace theme something that comes packaged with Lemmy or something the server admins are throwing together? I love where it's going but its in need of some love.. there's nothing to make the posts readable against the background.
Complaints are not intended here, I could likely help if someone points me to a place where I can make PRs.
