The vibes of Agatha and Wanda vision being totally unique each episode are a lot of fun

It's really nice to have a low-stakes show. And the campiness right before halloween is refreshing, it's good vibes. I'm tired of shows like Secret Invasion being like 'this show will determine if the planet survives.' It's nice to just have a fun character show in a shared universe.

I'm super happy and excited for GIMP 3.0. I hate that this info was presented in a youtube video. I can gleam what I want to know from an article with bullet points (which I could find) but I'm sick of half the information I search for being returned in a video, with a fixed time commitment and imprecise "scrolling" to skip. I feel like in search and link aggregators, more and more content is video instead of text and I'm not here for it.

I totally agree...the best solution for the specific problem. "Cloud" was the buzzword solution to every problem for a few years and it wasn't great in a lot of cases. High I/O home grown apps to be used from a single campus don't need to be in the cloud. Bulk archive storage doesn't need to be in the cloud, things like lecture recordings from 10+ years.

I don't understand your disbelief here, the 2 major players in online email and account mgmt (for education) are Google and Microsoft and both are 0 cost, but the bait and switch is the limit lowering mid cycle, not even on the academic calendar. Now that exchange on-prem is essentially dead and Google and MS control email via blacklist politics, it's a captive market.

We had been a university with office365 for several years, and the price change came well after the product comparison and decision was made. Once you are in an ecosystem like that the cost of changing is astronomical when you include migration labor, training, and loss of productivity during the transition. When you are a university with thousands of student, staff, and alumni accounts, and the office, mail, and authentication environments are integrated, it's realistically functionally impossible to migrate.
The student A1 licenses are 0 cost without upgrades, which is why it was chosen, but the storage change was a blindside. We had hundreds of accounts using over the 100GB of data (which was within TOS) and had tons of data in onedrive which had to be moved or we had to fork out per account. This was a bait and switch, plain and simple, and that is the issue with "cloud for everything" is you are at their mercy.

Completely disagree. This last March, Microsoft changed the storage limit per user on OneDrive for education from 1TB to 100GB, and users either had to delete a ton of files or pay for increased license/space. We ended up standing an on-prem file server back up shortly thereafter because we could not get our users and faculty to delete research data and could not afford to nearly double our cost expenditure. In my experience doing IT budget for years, cloud has meant that you cannot predict your yearly expenditures, Especially if you use your services that are funded in part by venture capital. Let's say you start using some cool research presentation project and suddenly the economy dips and they lose funding, the cost goes way up. Life cycle management has gone completely out the toilets in my experience with cloud products.

Cloud. Businesses went all in on cloud under this illusion of stable costs, but costs go up and contol/support have gone down, and I'm seeing businesses spin on-prem back up.

Man if she has the proof, she should show it then ask him to prove he had bone spurs.

I just don't know who this movie is for. Slapping a plot on a sandbox game aimed at a wide audience is weird. Leaning heavily into the Legends content is reducing the appeal. The IRL people in weird outfits make it feel like they slapped a Jumanji template on the Minecraft IP, which is a bad sign. I don't see the appeal of this other than "I like Minecraft, therefore I will spend money on anything Minecraft related." I don't see an indication of a plot, the characters don't seem special (Jack Black is Jack Black, Jason Momoa is Jason Momoa). I just don't it.

For real...I don't care about poker but when Hila went on her run I was so hooked!

It's a different device. Already, the existing google tv workflow is different than the chromecast, which was phone control first. Now, it brings up an app which favors navigation with the remote. If I want a set top box, I'll put a kodi box in...I wanted a dumb dongle which could be controlled from a phone. It's fundamentally a different product.
My hope is that casting decouples as a concept from being a google protocol. Even though Amazon is backing it now, I hope MatterCast can become an open casting standard. My vision is having MatterCast be an installable add-on to Kodi, and then an ultra-light image can be made for super low-end devices supporting audio and video (or both).

But the alternative is a gamble on fascism, in a 2 party system you have to pick the establishment you dislike least.

If it wasn't clear I don't want it to happen...but over the years I have felt pretty disenfranchised by the actions of the party vs the will of the voters, and I am still going to vote for them.

It would be the most Democratic Party move ever to push Joe out and announce Hillary again.
