I wonder if he ever read the 5th book, Mostly Harmless. In that book there’s an aside which describes how the people of the planet Golgafrincham tricked all the useless members of their society (management consultants, etc) into thinking the planet was doomed and getting on a ship to escape the planet which they programmed to fly to another salary system and crash into one of the planets there. That part of the book always stuck with me, and more and more I wish there was a way we could do the same to Musk and his billionaire cronies.

Of course I don’t think Musk has actually read any of the HHGTTG novels, especially not the 5th one so maybe there’s still a chance?

The puppet’s face is also based on Picardo’s

It’s been a long time since OnePlus could claim to be a budget brand. That ship sailed a long time ago.

This is like a real life Wagner post

Been running it for about 6 months now with no issues apart from a weird display issue when I go full screen in YouTube in Firefox on one display and the other display goes all white except for a couple of glitchy flickery areas, but I think that’s more Wayland/plasma 6 related.

I will say that I’ve worked with the Linux command line for years now so I may be slightly more technically capable with it in general than a complete newbie but I think most other people here on Lemmy have a similar level of experience as me.

The Guys podcast has a pretty fun episode about this.

Oh, that’s cool then. I’ll have to go back and take a look as I hardly use the app.

I guess if the new company fucks it up (which lets face it, is a given) at least you get to keep the music you’ve already bought which is more than you can say for Spotify.

I like what Bandcamp does, but I don’t necessarily want to have to download every song/album I buy off there and store it on my phone, or open the app and manually select a song or album one at a time to listen to.

I wish there was a way to build playlists, or even a full featured streaming service similar to what Spotify offers that would pay artists a respectable cut for streaming but not necessarily purchasing albums.

It would be nice to have that option but I suppose there’s probably arguments against it, I’m not really that familiar with all the pros and cons from the artists’ perspective. Even just a song radio type option like Spotify has would be great, because I do find a fair bit of new music that way.

Also, in case people aren’t aware, Spotify was sold to Epic games a few years ago, and they sold it on to a music licensing company who then laid off 16% of Bandcamp’s employees. So I’m not sure how much longer it’s going to be a good place for indie musicians.I guess we’ll see though.

Elon Musk and a board of directors that are controlled by Elon Musk.

There’s been some discussion over the years that Tesla never seriously tried to make the battery swap work, that they did it to claim subsidies from California which they subsequently never returned to the taxpayers.

Oh, yeah I think you’re right. I think I might’ve changed it at some point.

Just checked and it’s under system > gestures > press and hold power button

I also have a pixel 6 and holding down power also works, though you have to wait a second. Power and volume up is instant.

If I’ve been repeatedly rerunning commands via ctrl-r’ing back through my history, I’ll start getting careless and more than i should have I’ve accidentally hit enter twice on the wrong command without pausing to double check first. Sometimes to less than desirable effect…

What a fucking terrible name

The Dark Knight has fucking terrible editing and a lot of bad, hammy acting. The opening bank heist is just bad, with really on-the-nose dialogue delivered pretty badly…even William Fichtner seems like he’s trying a little too hard, and he’s an otherwise good actor.

I know the editing has been covered in some YouTube essay that made the rounds a number of years ago so maybe that’s not such an unpopular opinion, but it really sticks out to me like a sore thumb.

Before anyone gets totally mad at me, I still enjoy the overall story, a lot of the action, and I think both Ledger and Bale (dumb batman voice aside) are great. Also, Morgan Freeman, Michal Caine and whatshisname who plays Harvey Dent are also very good too.
