I have a family member that lives in LA county. They’ve unfortunately fallen hard into conservative talking points, and they’re fully convinced that if it passes the legislators will change it after the fact to tax everyone in the state.

This wasn’t a fluke or an isolated incident. Qualtrics, one of the leading survey panel providers, is openly trying to normalize replacing actual survey responses and human voices with their own synthetic data.

Dated to 2018

We once put a Santa outfit on our yorkipoo, but it was a little too big and the hat ended up covering his eyes. He still wanted to play fetch (it’s all he ever thought about), so we threw his toy…and he ran full speed into a wall. I’d like to say he learned a lesson that day, but that dog was as dumb as he was adorable.

I once got caught behind someone who came to an abrupt stop in a roundabout so they could go to the next episode / video on their iPad that they had attached to their dashboard.

I actually just went through this exact situation in the last month and I switched to LMDE6 on my 2-in-1 lenovo touch screen. Auto rotation didn’t work right out the gate, but iio-sensor-proxy fixed that. In general, I’ve noticed that the touchscreen default setting for some apps (eg, firefox) treats touches as a mouse click, so rather than scrolling it would select text. But I’ve found this AskUbuntu fix worked for me. Been a good experience since then.
