This player's comment seems to be implying that Outside (or one of the mini-games) is not a game. How does that make any sense? What does it mean? (lemmy.ca)

Some of Valley Metro's "Respect the Ride" rules but I tailored them to GNU + Linux users (lemmy.ca)
 

Roller-skating, in-line skating and skateboarding on the property are rituals to summon Steve Jobs.

Riders are expected to treat other passengers with respect and courtesy, even if they develop proprietary software.

As implied by the Unix philosophy, the property is only good for transportation, not for spitting, defecating, or urinating. Entering any Valley Metro vehicle or property with clothing containing blood, urine, vomit, defecation, or anything else with proprietary DNA is also prohibited.

Litter is bloat.

Commercial or Ubuntu-size carts, recumbent bikes, handcarts or bicycle trailers on board a transit vehicle are bloat, unless collapsed.

The ghost of Steve Jobs fears people with tops, bottoms and footwear.

You are bloat if you take up more than one seat. Saving or “holding” seats is a Microsoft salute.

Apple Faces Criticism After Announcing New iPhone Requires Users to Sacrifice a Personal Item for Activation (lemmy.ca)
 

(Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/applecirclejerk/s/rpBQKZ5sxm)

In a bold and controversial move, Apple has unveiled a new policy for the upcoming iPhone model, sparking outrage across the globe. The tech giant revealed that users will now be required to sacrifice a personal item—be it a cherished piece of jewelry, a favorite book, or even a childhood memento—in order to activate their new device. According to Apple’s press release, the act of giving up a meaningful object is meant to symbolize the user’s commitment to the Apple ecosystem and enhance the “spiritual experience” of using their products.

Critics have quickly pounced on the decision, accusing Apple of pushing boundaries that cross into unethical territory. “This is an egregious abuse of consumer trust,” said tech analyst Linda Jameson. “Apple is not only capitalizing on people’s attachment to their belongings, but they’re also commodifying the emotional connections we have to personal items. This is a step too far.”

Despite the backlash, Apple maintains that the new requirement is in line with their mission to “redefine technology as more than just a tool, but a transformative experience.” In a statement, the company explained, “The sacrifice is a gesture that aligns with our vision of tech as a sacred space in people’s lives. It creates a deeper connection with the iPhone and fosters a sense of belonging.”

The announcement has sparked widespread debate about consumer rights, with many questioning where the line should be drawn in terms of what companies can demand from their customers. In response to the criticism, Apple has announced that it will provide a “sacrifice assistance” program, helping users find items of “appropriate sentimental value” for the ritual, ensuring no one feels left out of the experience.

As the controversy unfolds, it’s clear that Apple’s latest move has ignited a firestorm of debate about the intersection of technology, consumerism, and personal identity.

"Why don't skeletons fight each other? They don't have the guts!"

(I tried multiple variants of the prompt, and the joke stayed the same)

Here's to the tiny ones (by ChatGPT) (lemmy.ca)
 

Here’s to the tiny ones, the droolers, the criers, the diaper-destroyers, the round-faced snugglers in a square crib… the ones who see everything differently — they’re not fond of naps… You can cuddle them, swaddle them, glorify their giggles or curse their midnight wake-ups, but the only thing you can’t do is get a full night’s sleep because they change everything… they push the limits of your patience (and coffee consumption), and while some may see them as tiny tyrants, we see miracles, because the ones who are bold enough to think they can turn your whole world upside down, are the ones who do.

Prompt:

Write a funny parody of this related to babies

"Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do."

While trying to fall asleep, i noticed how similar the words and concepts "constitution" and "kernel" seemed, and something like this appeared in my imagination. (lemmy.ca)
 

I got the idea for multiple presidents while recreating the image.

How I recreated it (Fedora):

  1. sudo dnf install grub2-emu
  2. sudo grub2-emu --root=nvme0n1p5 (device is /boot partition)
  3. configfile (host)/boot/grub2/grub.cfg in grub console
  4. Select everything, right click, select "copy as html"
  5. Edit the HTML (includes copying the background-color attribute to the html element)
