I wanted to dispute your sentiment based on the number of billionaires.
I was wrong, Wikipedia list 2, 781 billionaires in the world.
Their comment has been posted before. Either they ruined it ages ago, or it has become copy-pasta, protecting the identity of the climber.
The AI Music CEO was unnamed. I wonder if they are uncharged and keeping their fees.
AI music may be just the business to be in.
"The Mighty Ducks" did a good job featuring Minnesota. "D2" did a shit job. Even called Minneapolis a "po dunk town". I think the writers had nit watched the first movies.
Foot races, at the professional level, decided by fractions of a second...
I don't think it is a "and then commit fraud". They only got caught for the recent stuff.
Great article. August really does suck.
I tend to think of "rich folk leaving hot cities in the pre-A/C world for summer" as "summer". Great times.
This is a thread about slow uptake by programs of Wayland.
X works for me.
This is a thread about slow uptake by programs of Wayland.
X works for me.
What is there to explain?
Please explain.
you think the distros have to implement their own version of Wayland?
Nope. They do have to test their own shit.
Why make a change when one can just not?
But why would the distros do that? It takes effort and has real costs for them.
There are programs made by therapists that are built to be help.
It is not enough to make a better product.
It is not enough to create all tooling and libraries to seamlessly migrate to the new product, but it helps.
There also needs to be a great big positive reason to make the change. Paying developers, huge user base, the only hardware support, great visuals, etc.
Until I cannot run software on X11, I won't switch over knowingly.
For a building in the USA that the government of Afghanistan was renting.
And a few grenades.
If you are set on this, then do crimes that, if successful, would improve your life.
Steal billions of dollars from bad corporations. Steal food to live, trespass to be in shelter.
Personally, I would try to go to the cheapest town and get on benefits. Each state has a really cheap place to exist. There are usually no jobs, but often friendly people.
That is a great perspective. The burgers were pretty good. Much better than fast food.
The lines are long. The food is expensive. Everyone in the group wants to eat something different. The food taste is a gamble. There are few places to eat.
Does everyone stick together and wait in all of the lines? Split up and meet at some location? Eat on the way to the festival and just hang out?
It often feels like there are only 3 productive hours in typical American white collar work day.
What if we just cut out the rest?
Edit: Some great responses. So responses must have also been said about the 5 day and 40 hour work weeks.
Explore the geographic distribution and demographics of America's major religious groups.
In the USA, 3.1% claim Atheist, 4% Agnostic, and a total of 22.8% "Unaffiliated".
In Minnesota, 3% claim to be Atheist, 4% Agnostic, with a total of 20% Unaffiliated.
Posted as I often feel there are few Atheists in the USA. Turns out Atheists are under noticed.
I keep getting a red banner saying “Toastify is awesome” when updating. What does it mean, and what should I do differently?
How would one actually calculate the full "fruit of labor" in work that includes several people doing different tasks?
How to calculate between people doing the same task producing physical items seems easy. Add in customer service, sales, and development, and it seems easier to focus on what other groups pay for those skills, which is not what I want.
It also seems looking at the difference between having the role, and not. However some skills are mandatory, just less involved.
Feel free to simplify, but different tasks is a must.
I don't like subscribing to nonphysical things. I can read a physical paper a month after it arrived. Digital is faster, but I tend to lose it before I have read it.
I need a recipient in my pocket. Too often my virtual thing is lost, my device fails, or things reboot and I don't have my secure 24 digit password with me.
I won't subscribe to a digital only anything. Physical and digital is nice.
Edit: They don't even have to be identical. A digital daily with a monthly print would be nice.
Hello friends. Work email is crushing me. The ticketing systems, plural, email me on everyone's tucket. (Because some people only work tickets via email and others through the web interface.)
Are there any email clients or servers that allow new email to land somewhere other than the inbox? Or allow my view to start elsewhere?
I declare email bankruptcy daily....
Send whiskey.
Edit: I was unclear.
I have filtering, but those all happen after the mail is in the Inbox. I get a quarter second of crazy emails and previews and things moving, then they are gone. (Outlook sucks.)
I don't even want to see that shit. Not at all.
The Change ransomware attack left an Oregon medical practice with an empty bank account, and only one quick way to fix it: sell to UnitedHealth.
> Last Thursday, the medical colossus UnitedHealthcare applied for an emergency exemption that would fast-track its takeover of a medical practice in Corvallis, Oregon, in a letter warning regulators that the practice might close its doors if the merger were not approved right away.

Pretty sure I will be asking a lawyer, but I want to learn more words and concepts first.
A possible new job wants to own any intellectual property I create and wants me to declare anything I want to keep as my own. This seems normal in my industry as they will be paying me to do some thinking.
Issue is that I have a number of ideas I have been developing. I am going to float some of them as products in my own time, though this may be years from now. Most of these are outside the current market for the company as far as I know.
How is this typically handled? I presume I don't need to have copyrights or trademarks prior and can just list tentative titles.
I am also a little unclear on the spread between "intellectual property" and "an idea I am playing with".
Thoughts? Concepts to investigate?
Edit: I did Internet search this, but I have not found working keywords.
I'LL TELL you this, but you'll have to promise that it will go no further. Not long after we moved here we had the people next door round for dinner and - I swear this is true - they drove.
Article from 1999, referenced study likely from earlier.
> The average American walks less than 75 miles a year - about 1.4 miles a week, barely 350 yards a day.
Thank you to @urlyman@mastodon.social for pointing this out.

> "I don't know if you saw this study the other day, but what this study clearly shows, is when people have the ability to come downtown to an office and don't, when they stay home, sitting on their couch with their nasty cat blanket diddling on their laptop ... if they do that for a few months, you become a loser! It's a study. We're not losers, are we?"
Be careful who gets to hold a gun to your head.
The great Jeff Vogel discusses the Unity event.
Xcel Energy customers in Minnesota will likely soon have good reason to hold off on running dishwashers or charging vehicles until bedtime. The state’s largest utility is asking regulators to approve a major change to how residential customers have paid for their electricity for decades. In December...
Recent changes to the Minnesota laws regulating political advocacy have expanded the definition of a “lobbyist” and the universe of people who now have to register as one. The changes will have little effect on existing professional lobbyists but are expected to mandate a bevy of new people register...
There is evidence that standing is better for the human body than sitting. For work we have standing desks for computer work and such. Some aim to stand 8+ hours a day.
What about for other activities? How do the unemployed, retired, and homemarkers get in enough standing? Are there good ways to stand while reading a book, or sipping a coffee and enjoying the dawn?
While looking for uses for old disposable AA batteries, I ran across the Batteriser from 2015. Clearly, it was a flop of some sort, as I am posting in 2024. What happened? Are there any iterations that do work?

A federal court rejected a rehearing of Berkeley's ban on new natural gas appliances, putting similar regulations in Oakland and elsewhere in doubt.
On Tuesday, Jan. 2, a federal appeals court declined to rehear the case of Berkeley’s ban on new natural gas hookups, which was struck down by a panel of judges in April 2023.
The mayor of Blaine is an investor in a baseball-themed restaurant going up near a planned massive sports entertainment district that may include a taxpayer-subsidized minor league baseball stadium.
