grue,

If somebody doesn’t shop at Costco enough to justify the executive membership, I’m not sure the regular membership would be justified either.

grue,

…you believe the CEO feels entitled to gamers becoming OK with subscription models. What he actually feels is a hope that subscription models will take off

That sounds like a distinction without a difference to me.

Adriano Celentano - Prisencolinensinainciusol

From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisencolinensinainciusol:

Both the name of the song and its lyrics are gibberish but are intended to sound like English in an American accent.

Celentano’s intention with the song was not to create a humorous novelty song but to explore communication barriers. The intent was to demonstrate how English sounds to people who do not understand the language proficiently.

J’apprends la français depuis trois ans. (Mais pas a cause de la chanson.)

Stromae - Papaoutai (I found out it existed because Pentatonix did a cover of it)

That guy’s also got some other interesting songs, with quite a bit of social commentary: carmen, Fils de joie, tous les mêmes, Santé

grue,

If by “nonsense” you mean “exactly correct,” sure!

grue,

^ This guy Costco hot-dogs.

grue,

Why do you hate consumer protection law?

grue,

Depends on your location. Where I live, chicken is cheaper.

grue,

It’s fine as long as you’re not a robot made out of aluminum or something.

grue,

Boris Johnson wishes he could fuck up his hair as badly as this guy.

Being fit to be drafted is for the little people. Presidential candidates can just get out of it by claiming to have bone spurs.

grue,

I’m OOTL. Why is Codeberg better than GitLab?

Amazon clearly lying about "ownership" on Prime. (lemmy.world)

You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?

This sort of blatant violation of the First Sale Doctrine shouldn’t even require a lawsuit to stop; the FTC should prosecute companies for it proactively. We need to demand our government start doing its goddamn job again.

grue,

Pretty sure CNN is (willfully) misinterpreting the law. The EU is definitely not prohibiting them from just turning off the tracking without providing a choice.

grue,

No, that’s a myth. America had extensive train networks – both within cities and between them – and deliberately destroyed them because of a combination of misguided modernist city planning and corrupt lobbying from corporations from oil companies and car manufacturers.

There is nothing special about America that makes it inherently unsuitable for trains.

grue,

Congratulations, you just reinvented basically the same thing (minus the “AI” buzzword) that Transmeta was doing a quarter-century ago.

grue,

საქართველო, apparently

grue,

Well, of course. There hasn’t been a legitimate question on that point since 1991.

grue,

But I don’t wanna secede, though! : (

(I’m in GA, US.)

grue,

Ballistic trajectories don’t count as flying.

grue,

I’ve wondered the same thing about the Octonauts.
