prole,

Is this revenge for the cruise ship that killed that endangered whale?

Are the cetaceans fighting back? Are we at war with whales?? That would be pretty badass.

prole,

Man, the way that headline begins, I thought he had died.

On a macabre, but related, note: how long after Gabe’s death before Steam goes public and turns to shit? I’d give it 6 months.

prole,

Does the bird one actually work? Nature can get pretty loud, I could see that being an issue.

prole,

I don’t know what it is you want to distribute, but if it is newsworthy or political in nature, I think most media outlets (like “legit” ones like WaPo, NYT, etc.) have ways of contacting them through Tor for situations where the person with the information might have legitimate fears for their safety (e.g. whistleblowers).

But that’s really only for a certain type of “post.”

prole,

Yes, and take that a few steps further: does that need for profit ever end? Where does the idea of “constant growth” eventually inevitably lead?

prole,

Source: gestures broadly at everything

prole,

You seem to think if it’s not explicitly in a dictionary, then it doesn’t define a word. That’s not how the real world works.

prole,

You seem confused as to what defines a term. The thing written in a dictionary comes from observing the real world. The real thing isn’t constrained by some written words on a website, it’s literally the other way around.

prole,

I think a big part of that, for me at least, is Steam Input plus the trackpads being an actually usable alternative to using a mouse to move a cursor.

Those two features have made countless games that I never imagined I’d be playing on a controller, let alone a portable device, completely playable.

Steam Input alone is such a killer feature that I rarely see people talking about. The amount of customization you can do on a game-by-game basis is actually kind of hard to believe.

prole,

I imagine the people who still run independent companies that fill vending machines (I’m not sure if this is still the model, or if capitalism ruined that as well) will gladly install the M&M branded machines, when the rental fees go down drastically.

At least that’s how I see this playing out: Machine is provided to small business for cheap (possibly free), majorly increasing their ever-thinning profit margins. I’m sure the cost of snacks increasing every month is a nightmare for people who stock vending machines, and their profit margins must be thinner than they’ve ever been.

They’ll install the new machines, and maybe even make marginally more total profits… of course the real money is in the data being collected by the machine.

Shit, I bet they could start having vending machines where they just give you shit for free, all you have to do is give a thumbprint, or strand of hair, or fingernail, or cornea scan, etc… And people would use them. Hey, free shit right?

prole,

Yeah it fucking sucks. Trolls and 14 year old edge lords with no understanding of how the real world works

prole,

It will be far far worse under Trump.

prole,

I second EndeavourOS. My first distro and it’s been a great experience. I’ve felt no desire to switch.

Steam/games have worked great.

prole,

Fair enough… It’s been nearly a month since I commented here so I don’t remember the exact situation, but if having a lot of updates was an issue, then yeah maybe not EndeavourOS. There may be LTS versions, but since it’s based on Arch, I’m not sure. I personally don’t mind it, and have yet to have a single issue with an update “breaking” something (though I have Timeshift set up to take a snapshot before updating just in case), but I guess

I could see someone being annoyed by having the little thing pop-up to tell you how many things you could update, but I kind of like it I think. It kinda feels like I’m very slowly, incrementally, making my laptop better, albeit usually in ways I can’t even perceive at the time.

But hey, everyone has their preferences. That’s why there’s a billion distros to choose from.

Afghan girls as young as 16 arrested in shops, classes and markets in Kabul by the Taliban, who labelled them ‘infidels’ for wearing ‘bad hijab’ (www.theguardian.com)

The girls – who were detained in shopping centres, classes and street markets – were accused of “spreading and encouraging others to wear a bad hijab” and wearing makeup....

prole,

Religion is a malignant tumor on humanity

prole,

Competitive chess just got a whole lot more interesting.

prole,

Lol @ thinking Musk has even a basic grasp on the physics that his employees work with. I bet you think he “invented Tesla” too.

prole,

Yeah, this behavior has a name already, it’s called “rent seeking.” It’s kind of annoying that so many people think this is a new phenomenon.

prole,

Have you tried using reader mode in Firefox? Or did they fix that one? Still works for me on other sites like New York Times.

prole,

You can do all of that with most basic file explorers. I use Dolphin on KDE. Change the view to “details” and right click the top and choose which metadata fields you want to show up. Then you can sort or filter using metadata.

prole,

I switched my laptop EndeavorOS in 2023. Windows 11 was the last straw. Terrible OS.

prole,

Same. Not only that, but you can play the better quality, 60fps versions on your Steam Deck if you use Chiaki and play the PS5 remotely.

prole,

I watch DVDs on mine all the time, including Blu-ray and 4k Blu-ray.

prole,

I’m not sure… I don’t think so? I use HDMI.

prole,

Why would anyone want a PS5 with coax? I don’t understand… Are you using a 30 year old TV?
