Until this alleged Motorola collaboration bears fruit, Pixels are all there is for GOS.

I’ve never seen anyone say “Akka Dakka” before and clearly I was missing out. Also, agreed on all points.

The article clearly mentions California, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Washington and Wyoming. Perhaps others that I missed as well. Your comment I replied to was not specific to a location, you said “it makes sense to me that consumers can’t be pumping energy into the grid with no way to cut it off” and I was letting you know that it shouldn’t be a concern because that isn’t how solar power systems work. Do you think that Utah will work different for some reason?

Did you respond to the wrong message? Nothing I said anything to do with Utah.

I’m just being facetious, I of course know there is no bottom to how shitty things can be.

In many areas, they flat out don’t allow the second one at all.

These systems are designed to not push power back up if the grid goes down. In most areas, the municipality won’t even allow a solar installation to be connected or even finished without it being inspected to verify you have that sort of setup.

When I got solar panels on my previous home there was a $5 a month line charge. That when went up to $8 the next year, then $10, then closer to $20. The power company (Duke Energy in case anyway wants to the shitty company’s name) was determined to make it as painful as possible for people to use Solar. They were also apparently responsible for pushing to get it illegal in that area to go “off grid” and to have a cap on the amount of solar power a home could generate. At now point did these line changes stop them from raising the normal power usage rates mind you, this was just an extra “fuck you” from them.

I greatly preferred Redmine back in the day. It was easy to extend it yourself too despite my dislike of Ruby.

That explains the explosion of unwanted AI features in Jira these days. No, I don’t need you to re-write my fucking ticket comment!

They should have worked the wasp angle into their old “A cookie is just a cookie…” commercials. Kids already hated those things, this would have really made the brand stick heh

Now you need to pay for the Microplastic 365 aka Plastics as a Service.

Yeah, they have been on my shit list for a good while. The only thing I’d still buy from them would be memory, either ram or flash, but now the AI induced prices have put even those purchases on hold.

Yeah, I stopped buying Samsung phones after that as well, though I was still rocking the truly great SGS 2. I used that phone for years and years and then gifted it to a friend who used it for a few more. The magic of a user replaceable battery! It is no wonder they took it from us.

So you telling me Jira and all its related bullshit will get even worse? I hadn’t thought it possible.

2FA has been fine for me, but banking apps are iffy where some work and some do not. I don’t use or trust banking apps, so it wasn’t a blocker for me.

That would indeed be awesome. There was a house near one of my previous homes that had a giant Moai (Easter Island Statue) head in their yard. By giant I mean like 6’-7’ tall or so, but it was impressive and I was always puzzled how they got it there.

Damn, I hadn’t understood it as all figs needing wasps, but figured it was more the reverse of what you’re now saying where maybe some specific varieties had adapted to need them. I already was not a fan of figs, but this is definitely too spoopy for my tastes.

Angst was my favorite album until the cassette of the Light single got stuck in his car and we listened to it on repeat for about 3 months. I still have a hard time listening to it lmao. After that he got Rock Horror Picture show soundtrack stuck in the player and we decided he was no longer allowed to drive.

At the time people kind of hated on it, probably because it was quite a departure from Angst and Nihil which were well received. I always liked it though, I’m glad it seems recognized as one of the good albums now.
