Alaska belongs more in the “acts mean, is nice” category. But it’s less “mean” and more “apathetic and disinterested.”

That just sounds like the gut biome version of a spworm.

That song goes hard though. Felt bad ending it.

That is generally what I use in my homelab. Though I’ve found that Fedora works a bit better for a general purpose daily workstation OS.

Did you even read the wiki? It’s so easy! Totally beginner friendly provided a basic level of literacy.

/s, hopefully obviously. Arch is a fragile house of cards.

I think you mean here.

I think it depends on your definition of positive.

In the short-term I think there will be some economic benefits. Long-term not so much.

But for positive effects that’s about all I’ve got.

The political climate will become more divisive.

Red states will enact more regressive policies driving left-leaning voters out, while attracting large businesses into those states with economic incentives. Which will cause blue states to lose jobs.

The Democrat party will be pushed further to the right as they try to court the needed electoral college votes from red states, leaving their actual voter base feeling less and less represented and driving resentment from the left.

All of which will eventually set the stage for a second American civil war within the next couple of decades. Though that assumes we don’t blunder our way into WW3 by antagonizing China with a trade war when they’ve already indicated that they intend to start militarily enforcing their One China policies. A protracted trade war with the US would potentially force their hand. If that happens we will be forced to defend our allies in Asia, particularly Taiwan and China has enough allies and is economically powerful enough that such a conflict could rapidly balloon into a world war. Which would likely stave off an American civil war for at least a few additional decades.

I think we’re watching the culmination of nearly a century of shortsighted, reactive policies enacted by greedy people that have progressively escalated in a way that you could almost mistake for a long term plan. I don’t think any of this will end well and I think the new administration is in a position to make things significantly worse for a great many people and fully intends to do so. Nothing good will come of this.

Yeah, there was a great video on YouTube I saw a few days ago that went over why Sony is backing Pocket Pair, why Nintendo is making this case about patents, why that’s a massive risk for Nintendo, and why Nintendo is willing to take that risk.

It largely seemed to come down to the Nintndo-Sony rivalry that started when Nintendo backed out of the SNES era deal to create the PlayStation. Nintendo is trying to crush Sony’s potentially viable competitor to their largest franchise and are making the case a patent case because that’s the only route they can pursue. If they lose, Nintendo stands to lose those patents.

The video in question

Khorn really stepped up his game once we started rounding the edges on our PC cases.

Just be sure to do it in binary. You gotta squeeze all of the value out of those phalanges.

And context usually gives away whether something is being used innocently or not.

Don’t assign moral values to words or numbers. Those things are morally neutral. Look at how they’re being used and the context surrounding their use then use that to determine the morality of the individual using them on a case by case basis.

Hell, as long as it’s consensual, go full Emperor’s Children. Deny yourself no experience for all sensation is delectable.

That looks useful, I might host that. Does anyone have an RSS feed of at risk data?

GrapheneOS has the option for a scheduled reboot if the phone hasn’t been unlocked for a configurable amount of time.

Of course it does. Does it use electricity? Then it can run Doom. It will run Doom. It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when. Doom is inevitable.

I think it technically would be copyright, it’s his likeness that the scumbag is using without permission.

I dual-booted for almost five years. Never once did I have to boot to Windows to fix Linux. Sometimes I’d have to boot to Linux to fix Windows or boot to a Linux live USB to fix the bootloader that Windows broke. But never did I have to use Windows to fix Linux.

The very idea of using Windows to fix Linux seems absurd.

To be fair to Meta, they did tell you they might do that. They didn’t lie. They just told you in the find print of an already convoluted and arcane legal document that they know most people would never read, fewer would understand, and no one could do anything to change.

So unlike Tesla, where they did lie about FSD’s capabilities, and that is at best false advertising but probably actually fraud, Meta at least had a thin veneer of plausible deniability against accusations of being liars when they sold your data to unknown third-parties because they did tell you about it, you just needed a law degree to understand what they were telling you.

At least in my experience, this does seem to be an unpopular opinion. One that I share.

70F without a thick layer of clouds might as well be the inside of an oven.

45F in spring is T-shirt weather, in fall it’s light hoody weather. The difference is humidity.

The ideal outdoor temperature is between 0F and 25F. Subzero is acceptable down to -30F. At that point stay inside.

You can always put more clothes on, but you can only get so naked.

Snow is great, perhaps the single greatest ground covering.

It’s easy to cool off in a proper winter. Just inhale deeply. It’s also easy also to stay warm, just dress appropriately for the weather.

It’s not hard to keep a house warm in the winter either. Just make sure it’s properly insulated for the weather. You’ll only need to run the heat a few times a week or in severely cold temperatures if it’s built properly and not massively oversized for the number of people living in it.

My electricity more than doubles in the summer because AC is so horribly inefficient.

Summer is the single worst season. Fuck summer.

Didn’t Willie Nelson out smoke Snoop Dogg at one point?

But also, yes, old school country that tried to tell a story and wasn’t just formulaic pandering to rural americans was great.
