Everyone's talking about this like it's impractical. This is just the beginning! Scientific advancements often start as completely impractical processes!

I'm positive that over time, this waste-to-cookie process will be refined and refined until it includes not only plastic waste, but human waste as well.

The potential is there! We just need to collect the billionaires and get started!

Couples that get roped into this hobby often tie the knot.

Their entire workflow is in Linux (KDE/Kate/Krita/Inkscape) which is awesome!

I think most people would wine and complain after falling into a ravine like that.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

DUDE, if you're not white you are the "worst of the worst" in Trump's eyes.

I guarantee that these people will change nothing about where they get their information. They will still trust it; even though the evidence that they're continually listening to bullshit is staring them right in the face (with masks and guns!).

Biden just followed through with what was negotiated with the Taliban by the former Trump administration. If the US doesn't follow through we lose credibility in all future negotiations with everyone.

What you're complaining about is the fact that Trump et all made an agreement to pull out the troops within a certain (completely unreasonable) timeline. They had no idea WTF they were doing and obviously didn't do due diligence or any sort of logistics planning for such a withdrawal before making the agreement.

If you think that sounds like bullshit let me ask you this: Does Trump ever do due diligence on anything? During his first administration nearly all his executive orders got thrown out because they were deemed arbitrary and capricious and during his second administration it looks like we're getting the same exact situation.

They don't know what they're doing. They don't know how to govern. If they didn't have several powerful right wing media empires backing up every stupid decision they make Trump would never have been re-elected and he'd have long since been impeached in this administration.

At my daughter's (high) school the kids have to manage social media accounts as part of the curriculum. They're an arts school that puts on plays, musical performances, etc.

It is fully expected that the kids post tasteful videos promoting their work (e.g. a pianist kid would have to post a video of them playing and they'll be taught how to make sure the lighting/audio is right). They also have the kids create all the school's social media videos (only certain teachers have the power to actually post them though).

They are taught what's bad and good about social media and they experience it. All the teachers know everyone's (non-secret, haha) accounts and they get graded on them! There's all sorts of resources for the kids and they're all so damned professional it's easy to forget they're just kids.

Things like bullying, how to manage comments/inappropriate posts, and how to deal with trolls/unhelpful negative feedback is covered and it's fucking fantastic.

Every school should have social media management and online etiquette classes.

What I wish they spent more time on is how to protect your privacy... But I understand the conflict there: If they teach the kids how to keep things secret, well, parents might not appreciate that 🤷

If it runs Windows it's still garbage.

The article sucks. The FTC isn't going after Microsoft's cloud services because they're good/bad. They're going after Microsoft because of forced bundling. Same abuse of monopoly power they were found guilty of when they started forcing everyone to use Internet Explorer.

Microsoft is forcing customers to use their cloud services under all sorts of scenarios. Many of which have no logical reason other than to force customers into Azure.

For example, if you have a lot of Windows servers in Azure they will stop supporting you once you reach a certain threshold unless you also sign up to use their enterprise cloud AD service.

They already do this with regular Windows--you have to use AD if you're a business customer and you go past a certain threshold of systems--but in that case you can just get some Domain Controllers and call it a day. You can put them wherever you want (locally, in AWS, in Azure, wherever).

With Azure Windows servers though you're forced to use Azure AD (or you lose support and possibly access to other bundled services). You can't host Domain Controllers anywhere else. I mean, they'll let you have as many off-Azure DCs as you want but they must still be joined/synchronizing to Azure AD.

There's probably many other anticompetitive tactics in place within the world of Azure but that's the one big one I know off the top of my head.

Tell them, "Sure! You can ride in the trunk 👍"

It's all the places in Canada where you can find maple leaves.
