"My wife wants to go for dinner but I'd like to eat anything other than fish." Strongly implies the wife in the sentence wants to eat fish. Anyone with a moderate grasp of English understands what Kimmel was implying. "T

Do you have a source for this? Also, do you watch his podcast? His host (who's literally also one of his employees) is a black woman. Not proof he's not racist, but suggests probably not. Unless you just assume anyone to the rig

While Pinta uses (and abuses) GTK4, it has nothing to do with Gnome. Inkscape is also a GTK app that follows Gnome guidelines, and every menu and tool is out in the open. No "hamburger" menus anywhere.

Strategically this is good for the US and the West. Intel needs to survive because they have the only advanced fabs that aren't within reach of China. But as a consumer, I hate this. Intel APUs have become quite good and are great fo
