The right choice. Both for playing and for watching.

Ugh.

Because the usability of it is simply awful.

Gradle Daemon

I guess this is the best I can hope for: docs.gradle.org/current/user...

I really don't like Gradle's daemon. I wish it were something you had to enable in your local settings rather than it just being employed by default.

With all the distracting cookie garbage and location requests, I honestly don't think companies actually want to sell any products online. It's nothing but a waste of time trying to find what you want.

So far, in my experience, AI has turned out to be atrocious at helping to shop. The product suggestions are just way off or overly generic. Probably because even a human can barely shop effectively online.

Your mindless CVE scanner is not open source's problem. Take it up with your admins / organization to invest better.

Max is a hard requirement for me or else I'll be holding out for another R1.

It's truly devastating that the American flag has become a sign of hatred.

Shift+Delete from the URL location bar is broken in Firefox (at least on Linux). Come on now!

I just noticed that ruby-lang.org got a refresh. Nice!

I would absolutely pay full price if it could be transferred, at least between leases.

That was one of my questions. Does the subscription stay with the owner or the vehicle?

I owe a lot of my laughs to Catherine O'Hara. She was brilliant. Damn. RIP.

The only cursors I can tolerate on Linux are the capitaine-cursors. The package build for Fedora is currently failing, so I had to compile them myself. But I'm back up and running.

Interesting. I'll have to check that out!

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

Does anyone have any idea how we break the echo chambers? No Trump voter in my family will ever know what actually happened to Alex Pretti or Renee Good. They will believe the officers were justified. They will watch Fox News and that will be the end of it.

To me, anything short of a guaranteed EV loaner is unacceptable and inconsistent with the brand. They always promise to have a Rivian available, but never do. I simply don't believe them when they make that promise anymore.

@riviantrackr.com I think I talked my Uber driver into test driving a Rivian. When I described that you can charge at home and don't need oil changes, he responded with a brilliant slogan. He said, "so I can just buy and drive". 🎯

The phone better not slide. That's all I'm saying.

Rivian really needs to provide EVs as loaners for multiday service center appointments. Just kicking it to Enterprise is not a great look. cc @riviantrackr.com

Genocide is not a politics topic. It's a human rights topic. Get it straight and don't play dumb.

Framework laptops are incredible. I just replaced the display (literally just the screen part) on my spouse's computer because the backlight had failed. $165 later and its like a new computer again. Seriously awesome.

Corporations are psychopaths. I bought a range from Samsung, but it arrived damaged. They couldn't replace it because they didn't have any available, so I had to return it. I then purchased the same range from Lowes. Samsung won't grant me points for the purchase because I didn't buy it from them.

> the first R2 Manufacturing Validation Build vehicles have officially rolled off the line.

Exactly what I was curious about. Thanks for the update!

The question that keeps coming to my mind is "what night is that going to be?"

Closing the latest chapter in my career. Actively looking to get started with the next one. If you’re looking for a seasoned developer for DevRel, DevOps, and/or engineering roles, let’s chat!
