I think to even it out hovering would have to be free, or maybe a very slow descent. I don’t want people to be able to rest in the air, specifically so they can’t cross oceans. I guess flying at 4 mph across an ocean is already a hard/long enough task.

Let’s try flying.

You can fly, but you still have to put in the same amount of effort as if you couldn’t fly.

For example if you want to fly over a house it would be at the same speed as climbing a ladder and taking an equal amount of time.

Or if you wanted to fly a mile away it would be the same as running or walking a mile. Also if you want to carry someone or something, how fast could you move while doing it? Same as on the ground or in the air.

Basically you still get the convenience of flying, but you have to put in all the work.

I don’t think it has any apps by default, or if it did I removed them. I just plugged in an Android TV and that seems to be working just fine.

But the TV itself isn’t connected to the Internet and it doesn’t bug me to connect and the default is just a nice background image without pestering me.

I bought an LG in 2014 and it lasted ~10 years before the backlight died. I bought a new LG that has a bunch of smart features but I’ve never connected it to the Internet, and it’s largely stayed out of my way and not been annoying.

So I guess LG has been good for me.

Not that I’m against new communities, any reason you made a new community instead of joining !dcstudios@lemmy.world ?

We’ll just deflect it with another ball of garbage.

True, but this book is the best thing Microsoft has made.

Self-destruct.

You don’t even need to be a Pokemon to do it. I’ve been succeeding at this move for years.

After you updated the config did you update-initramfs or update-grub (I forget which flags might be needed off hand).

Since this is happening pre-boot it isn’t reading from /etc.

Not my daughter, you bitch!

It’s a great character moment for the Weasley matriarch.

who needs the web?

Generative AI that’s who. For it to spit out information, it needs information. The argument may be that it is better at collecting all that information in one place and returning an answer, although we know it hallucinates responses. But to even begin a response it needs data, it needs the web.

I did some digging.

First, this is not the standard “cowsay”, this appears to be from the NPM version of “cowsay”. (npm install -g cowsay)

Second this is the “meow” cow, so cowsay -f meow "hello" . Also called “A meowing tiger?”.

Third, the fortune is available in the, now commonly removed, fortunes-off, package. I know Debian removed it, I think others did too. But you can install it manually.

And finally the source of the quote seems to be “Jester’s Condescending English Dictionary”.

That is true. Voice acting starring role works just fine. He is still just himself, but himself is a panda so it works.

I’ve found Jack Black works best when he appears in a supporting role. When he’s the main character he takes the entire film and makes it “Jack Black the Film”.

Put him in something like Tropic Thunder? He fits great. Have him lead School of Rock? It’s too much.

Meanwhile, Bobby’s outside playing in the tall grass pretending to be a Rattata.

Pfft, I just eat the entire loaf in one sitting.

Excellent. I was thinking, I don’t know of any Hershey’s issues, but I’m confident someone else will.

Of note KitKats made in the US are made by Hershey, not Nestle. As I understand it’s a legacy licencing deal and Nestle makes no money if you buy a US KitKat.

That being said Hershey’s chocolate is what it is. American’s are used to it, but it’s not great.

Whenever you send a card to get graded, no matter which grading service, they serialize every single card

Wouldn’t serializing a card “damage” the card and make it less valuable? I know the grading service wouldn’t say so, but that’s because they damaged it.
