I don’t know how or why, but something about doing the school run either creates or attracts some of the worst drivers I’ve ever seen in my life. Literally zero awareness or concern for others, including sudden stops, driving in slippers, mounting the pavement, blocking access, failing to indicate, and a general disregard for safety.

If you regularly have to drive during commuting hours, there’s a genuine and striking difference between term time and school holidays.

IMO if you live within a certain distance of the school or a suitable public transport route, driving your kids to school should attract a fine.

Everyday? It has to be salt & vinegar. So many bangers to choose from, too: McCoy’s, Discos, Pringles, supermarket own-brand twirls, Chipsticks…

If I want a special treat, though? I recently discovered Croky À L’Ancienne Sweet Paprika and let me tell you, they blow every other paprika crisp out of the water. Don’t know what they’re doing over there in Belgium but it’s truly a game changer.

Yes, I is intersex.

There are a few variants that add or replace various letters; sometimes it’s a personal preference, sometimes it’s an age thing, sometimes it’s a deliberate exclusion.

The generally accepted ‘catch-all’ is LGBTQIA+, but ultimately it comes down to the individual. One person can never speak for such a broad community.

Whether you consider queer a slur or not is also a personal matter. Anecdotally, I see a lot of people happy to use it to self-identify, but it does have a hurtful history that others can’t separate it from.

FWIW, on iOS Face ID is marginally better for this than Touch ID because it requires you to make eye contact with the camera before it unlocks. If you look to the side it won’t accept the biometrics.

But it’s still not as secure as a regular password or pin in terms of forced compliance.

The transition away from flat design back towards skeuomorphism continues.

That’ll get the birth rate up

It’s literally in the community rules:

If the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn’t belong here.

People actually pay attention to spell components? I’ve been playing D&D for 20 years and literally every campaign I’ve ever played in just ignored them.

‘Brought us’ is generous. The 8010 was prohibitively expensive, as the article says - over $16,500 in 1981.

Xerox might have invented the GUI, but it wasn’t for you and me. It was Apple and Microsoft who polished their ideas and made them accessible to the masses.

Now 31, released July 1995 apparently. Very strong memories of this specific cover art. Some good songs on there!

They don’t - this is about a deadline for the employer to voluntarily recognise the union as the entity representing their workers.

If that doesn’t happen, as may be the case here, the union can go to the NLRB to hold a ballot and, eventually, force the company to recognise them.

Basically, they gave WotC the easy option first but they ignored it.

Not these days. Apple hasn’t launched a new product with the ‘i’ prefix since Steve Jobs was around.

There may be occasional inaccuracies

I’ll say. Tried a handful of things I’m actually familiar with and it was full of mistakes and hallucinated ‘facts’.

Typical AI slop - looks good at a distance but crumbles under the merest scrutiny.

I guess so? But that seems a bit like grasping at straws. They still have access to the games, unlike what the outrage-bait headline suggests.

And even in those cases, they could just switch to a rival service like GeForce Now, which still allows you to import third party libraries for streaming.

Yes, it’s true that you won’t be able to access your third-party games through Luna anymore. However, you’ll be able to access those games through the third-party account you had to link to Luna to purchase the game. As an example, if you purchased a game from EA on Luna, then you’ll be able to continue playing that game through EA directly after these changes to Luna’s services go into effect. You aren’t getting refunds because you aren’t losing the games. You’re only losing access to them through Luna, which is fundamentally different from losing the game entirely.

It’s not just implied, it’s explicitly stated:

For the time being, we will allow Catalog titles that have used AI assistance in the coding process, but we will flag any title as such and specify the extent that it was used (for example, “Lua debugging”) so the customer can decide whether to support it or not.

_{why is the comic so tiny?}

I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.

If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don’t understand quantum mechanics.

Both quotes attributed to Richard Feynman.

Anyway, I was suspecting that this “issue” might come up so I’ve removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what’s generated and what is not.

Great way to torpedo any trust people might’ve had in your project.
