Car, Power, Electricity, they’re all falling behind. US is doing so many stupid laws right now because it’s the last place that the lobbies are desperately holding onto. Rest of the world has already been moving away, and the companies know it. Now the shareholders are starting to know it. You literally can’t beat free electricity from the sun. They could only prolong it so long, and you can tell they’re desperate with forcing the US to act against it’s best interest.

In the 40s it was as much as 90%, and that caused the boom in the 50s

Same. They took a risk with that in 7 and I liked that. What I didn’t like was starting over each time, I would have liked a new Civ but then simply continue on with different perks. Now it’s the same as 5 and 6

Absolutely because it got roasted on April fools as the stupidest executive level idea in all of gaming.

Hey play this game I paid 60 bucks for for me

Nothing to see here folks, move along

Ok great, thanks for sharing.

ZFS works best for drives of the same size. It is possible to do multiple drive sizes, but it’s pretty tedious. Mergerfs is a clear winner when you have many varying sizes of drives and are okay with the speed tradeoff

You’re right, and it bugs me when people say things like “Or seattle”, my hometown, or any city. US cities get a very bad rap because our conservatives push “cities bad and scary” to small town/suburban residents, who are now terrified to go into cities. Furthermore they convince them that if you build transit or do anything for the city that the “problems” that are in the city will leak into their suburbs.

It boils down to one thing for me. These problems are real, but being able to say “City scary” allows people to shift blame to the city. Them being afraid that it could leak out to their areas proves that. It’s not the city’s fault. It’s society’s fault, and most people don’t like to be reminded that problems actually exist and our society we’ve built has real casualties. By having a homeless problem “in Seattle” or “in Dublin” it allows them to feel superior, like their town wouldn’t be the exact same if it suddenly 20x’d in size. They don’t need to think about homeless because it’s that city’s problem. Seeing homeless makes them feel things, and they don’t like that. It’s callous, it’s selfish, and it reeks of putting heads in sand as far as I’m concerned.

As for city dwellers, we’re surrounded by it every day. We empathize, we donate to our food banks, we do what we can - but most of all we don’t have the luxury of pretending the problems don’t exist. So when I see a post like this I roll my eyes. Keep your eyes down, don’t make eye contact, let them move on, and then think about donating to your local food bank or detox center. In fact, I think I’ll go donate to mine now.

They’ve been anti-open source for a while, they clearly don’t see a profit motive without killing off their open source side. Anyone selfhosting or into open source should consider MinIO dead, and migrate. Hopefully someone forks it.

If you’re on windows this is a relatively easy fix, I believe you’re looking for the “4GB patch”. I believe anyway. There’s a patcher out there that fixes it up easy.

I hate to say it but… Linux really shines here. The backwards compatibility is insane and it really does just work. If you have a deck it just sings, in fact the deck is one of the best ways to play the older games

2030 - please insert your hand for blood testing to authorize online play.

Also “attestation”.

Immediately at the top of my watch list. Because the movie sounds so good. I’m sure it will be.

Linda Cardellini. She is absolutely stunning IRL and a very underrated actress IMO

Federal jobs used to be nice. Stable solid employment for the rest of your life. Nothing glamorous but you wouldn’t have to worry while the market goes up and down.

And then last year that completely changed in a bad way

Hanselman pointed to a Microsoft blog post noting that, starting in October, the company began requiring “mandatory account verification for all partners in the Windows Hardware Program,” which also covers certifying software drivers. Last month, the company updated the post to say: “Accounts that did not successfully complete account verification and received a Rejected verification status have been suspended from the Windows Hardware Program, and submissions from these accounts are no longer permitted.”

So they didn’t hand over their blood and urine samples to Microsoft so they don’t get to be developers anymore

I stream on owncast and it’s tock solid. It needs very few resources and is very easy to get set up. We have matrix rooms to help you, and a community here on Lemmy! Check us out at [email protected]

Yesterday my spouse was trying to figure out how to set up copilot. I was trying to show them how I use AI to automate some of my flows, and tried to set it up for them, but turns out Copilot is different under every area of the company. Github Copilot != Office Copilot != Windows Copilot. They are all different and require different subscriptions! Horrible horrible user interface. Even the shit they’re trying to push everywhere on everyone is convoluted to hell. Why in the hell is would there not be one subscription that gives you access to everything?

Microsoft is bloated and bureaucratic, and this whole thing proves it. They never think out of their divisional lines and it shows so hard. “Why would our subscription need to be linked with X or Y division?” _Because to a customer, there are no divisions, it’s just Excel and Visual Studio, it’s all just microsoft.

Nothing concrete, but their stated goal is to play any pc game on it, similar to what steam did with the deck. That was enough to scare off sony

They made such a wonderful bug beautiful world and filled it with fetch quests and chests. I swear ubisoft should focus on making worlds, then hand it off together studios who know how to write stories and fill those worlds
