This is actually the least stupid example of this type of abbreviation

That’s insane. Even if they did this intentionally to be as difficult as possible, they locked themselves out of being able to detect long presses?

It’s called a Doohickey, thank you very much

I don’t really want them around trying to touch stuff at all

It’s a consulate for a medium-sized country in a medium-sized city, so it might just be one person at a desk.

I just finished Normal People, which was my first Sally Rooney book. I loved it, but I wouldn’t say it had a lot of political theory, just light commentary by the characters. I take it you recommend Beautiful World?

I’m currently reading The Bricks That Built the Houses by Kae Tempest. It might be a good candidate, but I’m not far enough through to really recommend it yet.

Suicidally bad naming is the one thing we can always rely on Microsoft for

For something pretty low level and gigantic, Mesa (or at least RADV) is a pleasure to hack on. It has a great config system (meson), compiles super fast, has lots of debug functionality, and can easily be loaded into e.g. a game, without any system level configuration.

In a particularly retro touch, the new ID Polo will even have a volume dial.

This seems like a weird thing to mention because every stupid touchscreen car I’ve driven still has a volume dial.

That really depends on how much things cost, whether you have a social safety net, etc.

I thought it meant someone let Microsoft WinRT escape from hell.

The Andrew/Bill Gates one is creepy as fuck.

“Bill, I can’t let my mom find out about this. She’s basically the pope.”
