Thank you for the additional clarification. And naturally, potentially mitigating solutions such as bike lanes are so often demonized in our society, not because it actually causes disruptions to traffic, though; I figure it really is all about drivers getting jealous because they see people on bicycles not getting stuck in traffic (in my not so humble opinion). Not to mention how many violations of basic road safety and laws get handwaved because “they need their car”.

But I do agree that endangering pedestrians is no solution. I guess it infuriates me that real solutions are ignored/refused for such ridiculous reasons.

Well, I can easily identify two. The standards applied to cyclists versus motorists, as well as the fact that commercial vehicles be civilian makes no difference. At least from your description.

Separate from that is the general problem that couriers are essentially coerced into behaving so irresponsibly by corporate greed, bit that’s a whole other can of worms of course.

That’s the largest exist I’ve heard for such an egregious double standard.

What do you mean developer? As soon as I got a dock so I could actually use my steam deck like a desktop, I started experimenting with everything!

Obviously, I would never escape that trap…

Hmmm, I wonder if Valve might, quite accidentally, end up turning SteamOS into a viable option. Immutable, flatpak app store, simple install, etc. But desktop mode would need a lot of work, so…maybe not.

But it would be funny as hell if it happens!

Oh, so that means people are smart and never believe lies??

Go away

People are stupid. They can be made to believe any lie because either they want to believe it’s true or because they are afraid it’s true.

Hate to break it to you, it’s not just religious people.

None of that is an excuse to brush such a significant issue aside.

I manually disabled all link types for the YouTube app, then went to the settings for NewPipe and enabled all supported link types to open there instead. That way I can use YouTube for the occasional video that fails to open in NewPipe, but clicking on a link will open NewPipe by default. It’s tedious, but so worth it.

If I understand correctly, this one is still in progress, i.e. her hasn’t quite accomplished it yet. They tried to add the selloff of public land to the big piece of shit bill, but I think that failed?

Bawls

I get your point. I guess I made some assumptions there. Still feels like a big red flag that he handwaved a very big difference in their desired outcomes.

In other words, it doesn’t sound like he respects her wishes at all.

Exactly. There’s no license involved here. This is pants on fire levels of stupid.

You tried to cancel, he refused to accept that. Huge fucking red flag! He also ignored your clearly started desire for no kids.

The rest of it sounds like love bombing, a really disgusting tactic mostly used by abusive individuals to get you to doubt your own thoughts and feelings. But really, I strongly suggest you do some web searches regarding love bombing.

I will only purchase a Switch 2 once somebody comes up with a way to hack it (and assuming any modchip is not unreasonably difficult to install); if that doesn’t happen, fuck it, I’m gonna pass.

Ah, yes, because I don’t need money for rent and food, just healthcare.

What a moron.

AI assistant? Right where I lost interest…

Lol right

No, I’m pretty that we’re not quite that far. So far, they can grow like a chicken nugget size chunk of muscle. But I would not be surprised to see it in my lifetime.
