Corkyskog,

Typically more important for the average citizen. Federal changes may effect you in years, decades or never. Whereas your local politicians impact your day to day life.

Corkyskog,

I mean if it’s foamy enough, it raises some major questions. There are few things that cause that and they are basically all bad in their own ways.

Corkyskog,

They are really trying to push people to Linux aren’t they?

Corkyskog,

I assume they aren’t doing any of this in the corporate environment? Because there would be real world consequences for that.

If they aren’t doing any of this advertising and collecting in the corporate realm, then I just don’t see it making a lot of sense in the private realm. So many people don’t use personal computers. People are burned out already from 8hrs at work, they usually use a phone or tablet at home. Very few things require sitting down with a computer now.

Because so much usage is through mobile now, it seems a dangerous play for the payoff. Every time someone switches to Linux, it makes it easier for the next person. I see a very unlikely, but still possible risk that some minor companies might just switch to some sort of Linux alternative. Especially if they are worried about employees taking sensitive data home and it getting snagged by Microsoft.

Corkyskog,

That’s voter fraud, and not something anyone in the know legitimately worries about.

Voter suppression is a way easier method to change elections and harder to prove.

Corkyskog,

This is why prisoners and felons need to be able to vote also. It wouldn’t be all that difficult for Republicans to slap enough people in swing states with Felonies to change the election. We are talking about only thousands of votes in some instances.

Corkyskog,

Why? Are they afraid UN peace keeping forces would be deployed or that the US would step in?

Corkyskog,

Better to eat the shoe leather with.

Corkyskog,

I think it would be really cool if we found ways to incentivize building communities in and around old dying manufacturing towns. When people say there is no housing, they just mean anywhere they want to live. Rebuilding communities would rebuild local economies.

I could imagine grants given to towns on conditions about relaxing zoning in areas to allow for more high density structures and less building codes that are meant for single houses, as well as changes for existing structures in certain zones. Also should either create and fund a community liason program for starting small businesses, or wave the majority of financial burdens.

Corkyskog,

Does Linux do steam games? Can it easily find the movies I already downloaded? Complete noob.

Corkyskog,

I assume the government gets a product exempted from this feature, or do they too have to do all the work to disable it?

Corkyskog,

They are just movie files, saved in a folder. Nothing complicated, will Linux be able to find that folder or files?

Corkyskog,

Wow, you somehow answered my follow up before I could even ask it.

My main goal was to eventually do a plex or jellyfin type setup for the house. Good to hear that it works just as well on Linux. Is the setup more difficult, or are there enough guides and documentation that it’s not too bad?

Corkyskog,

Oh. I just assumed it was milk with pickle juice in it and was wondering what technique they used to prevent it from curdling.

Instagram's unskippable ads test causes outrage among users (www.techspot.com)

Instagram has long been accused of stealing features from platforms such as TikTok, Snapchat, and Twitter/X. It appears that the company has looked to YouTube for its latest idea: unskippable ads that you have to watch for a period of time before being able to scroll further....

Corkyskog,

It breaks the scrolling, breaking user experience.

Corkyskog,

Trump would kill the vote.

Corkyskog,

This is crazy!

I have so many questions, but lack the technical know how of how to ask them.

Corkyskog, (edited )

You don’t know how much they sold. This could be a fence operation that just grew large.

Thiefs don’t find a buyer everytime they steal something, they go to their “fence” who resells it. Say something is worth $200 used, the fence will pay like half or a third of the value in cash right away, every time. The thief walks away with $80 they can go spend on drugs, and the fence eventually makes $120. Reselling takes time though, and your thiefs keep thieving. If you tell your thief “I can’t buy this today” they will find another fence and you might lose that thief forever. Maybe more thieves if they find out they are a better fence. So you just keep buying stuff, even if your not selling it nearly as fast.

Netanyahu and Putin are both waiting for Trump (www.washingtonpost.com)

Netanyahu reportedly met this month with three foreign policy envoys working with former president and current presidential candidate Donald Trump — who could yet win the election despite being convicted Thursday on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in his New York state hush money case....

Corkyskog,

I think he will just keep going no matter who is in charge. Exterminating a population of millions is hard and takes unrelenting effort. People are resourceful and go to great lengths not to die.

Corkyskog,

This is why I want to reintroduce dangerous predators. They won’t be so focused on liberals or immigrants when you have to fight off saber tooth Tigers on your way to your car. Then get to work and worry about raptor ambushes in the main parking lot, or cave bears in the garage.

Corkyskog,

Whatever happened with that? When do they start liquidating property?

Corkyskog,

When so much is multi-player now, the cross platform stuff sucks on console. Average PC players are gods compared to using a regular controller on console.

Corkyskog,

They should be able to vote in jail too. Otherwise an authoritarian could just lock up their political opponents, especially in swing states.

Corkyskog,

It’s crazy how this all probably rests on the jury convincing that one male juror who gets all his news from Facebook and Truth Social

Corkyskog,

Probably because Putin threatened it. But he also threatens it on basically everyday that ends in a Y… so not sure how credible that threat is.
