I should come up with a “scam MAGA” business model. Damn ethics…

I downloaded a car the first chance I got! I haven’t actually printed it, but you bet your ass I downloaded it just as a matter of principle!

No, to enable (in the addiction sense) the greed of others. Not “satisfy.” Because it can never be satisfied: they will take and take and take and take until there is nothing left, and still demand more.

I play Grim Fandango on a Ryzen 3 laptop with 4Gb Ram

Grim Fandango Remastered, right? 'Cause it’s not exactly impressive if its the original, give-or-take WINE maintaining compatibility with old Win9x libraries…

I’ve been meaning to get around to playing that game for almost 30 years, and the remastered version for 10.

Never trust a tech worker, they decided long ago to sell out the species and the planet.

The ironic thing is, the tech industry started out from hippie counterculture. Fucking tech-bro business major types ruined it.

So you’re saying that Irish fairytales are funny parodies that are better than the German originals?

Customizing the look, feel, interaction of elements, and general mechanics, seems like a toooon of effort. (It kinda seems like you’re not supposed to customize it.)

Holy shit, he figured it out!

So yeah, it turns out that platform human interface guidelines are a thing, and for good reason.

When all you have is a hammer JavaScript, everything looks like a nail web page.

Kids these days don’t bother learning languages that actually compile to native apps.

I don’t know how many times I’m gonna have to keep saying this, but Idiocracy was infinitely better than real life. President Camacho was both well-intentioned and (relatively) competent, and that is in stark contrast to the “president” we actually have.

Shifter and Oh the Urbanity! are on https://video.canadiancivil.com/ . They are both fairly well-known Canadian Youtubers making videos about biking and urbanism.

At least while we’re still able to sideload install normally… 😔

FTFY. Being restricted to a manufacturer’s ‘approved’ list of apps is not normal, and should be called “cuckinstalling” or something similarly pathetic and offensive.

What regulatory capture of the FTC does to MFer.

All this shit should be considered false advertising, at the very least.

Real talk, though: why has Linux taken at least five tries (OSS, ALSA, JACK, PulseAudio, PipeWire) to get audio right?!

Yeah, sorry, I wasn’t as precise as I could’ve been. I was really just trying to convey the motivations (i.e. that it was due to being mistaken for foreign as opposed to being targeted for using a VPN), not go into the details of exactly which aspect of the VPN (the entrance IP geolocation, the exit IP geolocation, or the company HQ location) would actually trigger the “foreign-ness.”

Due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, both affected regions have experienced physical impacts to infrastructure as a result of drone strikes. In the UAE, two of our facilities were directly struck, while in Bahrain, a drone strike in close proximity to one of our facilities caused physical impacts to our infrastructure. These strikes have caused structural damage, disrupted power delivery to our infrastructure, and in some cases required fire suppression activities that resulted in additional water damage.

Translation: servers got turned into charred scrap.

I agree, assuming the game was released reasonably “complete” and with a minimum of bugs the first time. Or in other words, if the devs were held to the same standard as they were back in the '90s, when games got mastered to physical media once and routine, easy bug fix updates weren’t a thing.

Those are the ones that would cause them to surveil you.

The issue isn’t necessarily “the government will target you for using a VPN;” the issue is “if your IP makes you look like you’re outside the US because that’s where your traffic exits the VPN, the laws against domestic spying won’t protect you properly because you’ll look like a foreigner.”

Frankly, the headline is heavily spinning it to be anti-VPN fearmongering.

guess I need to look at bit for “how to stuff a huge graphics card into a mini box”.

Linux can be frustrating when something goes wrong, but at least you know it was by accident (either a bug in the software or a mistake on your part). In contrast, when proprietary software goes wrong it’s often due to some megacorporation deliberately trying to fuck you over, and that’s what’s really infuriating!
