Billionaires, and basically everything capitalism stands for, is such a scourge on humanity. If life were a video game, this guy would be on a few leaderboards. But it isn't, life should be about individual contributions for a greater good, not this.

It's either woefully incomplete or behind a paywall so someone in the company has access to be you can't figure out who and eventually just give up.

A family friend in a similar spot just referred to each other as "life partners". Any others it was just "partner" or "significant other".

Surprised Slice & Dice hasn't been mentioned, it's amazing. That and Dawncaster.

A useful tool is DarkPattern.games, which lists dark patterns in mobile games (such as micro transactions).

This is the first time I actually did a double take at an onion article lol. It got me good too.

Sounds like you're describing that you view how he is depicted as a good role model. I think the best way to describe it would just be "I'm atheist/agnostic/etc but view Jesus as a good role model" or something to that effect.

Or just lean into chaos and go with "Jesus is my role model" with no elaboration and let people make of it what they will.

I mean, I would sacrifice my own self to benefit an exact copy of me. Or rather, I say that, but if it ever came time to pull that trigger I may think differently.

My HVAC is 25 years old and going strong. Only quirks it has is the airflow sensor needs to be blown (haha) once in the winter. Only maintenance outside of the usual I've done is replace the fan capacitor.

My water heater is about 10 years old but one of the perks of my gas utility is a water heater warranty so when it comes time to replace or repair part of the cost will be covered.

I've seen it a few times in passing and always assumed it was like, a tech demo or proof of concept.

I've had bad tinkering break my system before, but never had an update break it irreversibly. The closest would actually be on Silverblue itself, when an update to the kernel was using different signing keys that cause the system not to boot. Fortunately it was simple, I selected the previous deployment and I was in (on a non versioned OS I would have selected the previous kernel which most are configured to retain the last few). A quick Google revealed Ublue had a whole kerfuffle and after verifying it was legit, I enrolled the new certs into my MOK.

Although one time on Arch I had installed an experimental version of Gnome from one of their repos, and was pleasantly surprised when that version finally released and I removed the experiment repo and did an update absolutely nothing at all broke. Nothing.
