Of course they are - it’s very difficult for a rat to use a lighter.

Great article and explanation on why Proton and its components are such a game changer. Thanks for sharing!

Ironically, Nier Automata is only listed as “playable” on Steam Deck.

I just hated that Windows had become a privacy cesspit and I wasn’t afraid of breaking things in Linux. Also, I accept that sometimes you just have to format and reinstall your sins of stupidity away.

Command line stupidity, not Bad Dragon stupidity.

Stardew Valley: 1.6 ended up being a little larger in scope than originally planned. I'm done adding major new content to it now, though, and it's in a bug-fixing and polishing phase until it's ready. (twitter.com)

Nitter link: twiiit.com/ConcernedApe/…/1750962107682857258 (Now fixed!) Might have to use this link multiple times to find a instance that isn’t rate limited or check the wiki and change the url manually.

I just picked it up to play casually on steam deck, and it’s fun; in the same vein as Animal Crossing with a 16 bit RPG style. Plenty of depth and homestead building. You are correct that it’s a huge time suck, but unlike AC, you don’t have FOMO of missing days/events when you don’t play. It’s been a great de-stress distraction when I’ve needed it most.

How does Usenet content not immediately get DMCA'd into oblivion?

For instance, say I search for “The Dark Knight” on my Usenet indexer. It returns to me a list of uploads and where to get them via my Usenet provider. I can then download them, stitch them together, and verify that it is, indeed, The Dark Knight. All of this costs only a few dollars a month for me....

No expert, but here’s my quick and dirty version:

  1. Find an unlimited Usenet provider that works with your budget and location. Plenty of debate out there on which are best, and if you need a second pay-per-GB provider for filling in missing parts or not.
  2. Spin up SABnzbd+ or a similar Usenet client on a local PC/NAS/etc.
  3. the hard part - find a quality private Usenet indexer site that you can get an invite or has open registration.
  4. Download the nzb files for the Linux ISO that you want from your indexer and open it with your Usenet client. (There are ways to feed the nzb file directly to your client, but that’s for next lesson).
  5. Client looks for all of the parts listed in the nzb file on your Usenet provider, then downloads and unpacks them.
  6. Et Voila - Linux ISO appears in your downloads directory.

A VPN is probably unnecessary, as most Usenet providers don’t log who downloads which files. Also, you can often hit your ISP’s max download rate from your Usenet provider, and there is no “seeding” to worry about.

Good luck!

Obligatory Fuck Ron Johnson.

How this brainwormed shitbird won re-election in 2022 (when all other Wisconsin statewide elections went Dem) still baffles me.

Senate Republican says US needs to accept Ukraine will ‘cede some territory’ to Russia (thehill.com)

Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) said Sunday that the United States needs to accept that Ukraine will likely need to “cede some territory” to Russia to end the fighting. Vance told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” that he is opposed to sending more aid to Ukraine because he does not believe the country will ever be able...

Vote for people who support ranked choice / final five voting. That’s the best way to ensure 3rd parties can have a say in US politics and that political polarization is discouraged rather than encouraged.

And yeah, it’s Biden + democracy or Trump + fascism. That was the choice to make in 2020, and it’s still the choice in 2024, my friends. Jan 6th demonstrated how clear it is.

Keep putting it on the ballot, guys. Sane people keep showing up and voting for abortion and weed, and voting out chuds like you.

I feel you - she’s nuts and drove the clown car in 2020.

But would you rather have DJT and Ghouliani, or Sidney Powell in jail for the remainder of their gross unnatural lives? Direct testimony against the rest of them helps secure convictions.

The MAGAts will turn on her and make her freedom unpleasant regardless, just waiting for a tweet/truth/x/wtfever from dear leader.

It’s ain’t enough but it’s a start, after 7 years of waiting for consequences.

I came to the finish line of my basement cleanout project yesterday. Only took a year - you got this!

Plot twist: She’s mining shitcoin with the courthouse electricity. She’s smart enough to know that’s the only paycheck she’s getting.

Judge: “Counsel, why is your laptop running so loudly?”

Lawyer: “It’s…uh…fuming at the witch hunt that my client has endured.”

The man was taken into custody for openly carrying a firearm in the Capitol, which is against the law, Warrick said. Weapons can be brought into the Capitol if they are concealed and the person has a valid permit. The man arrested did not have a concealed carry permit, Warrick said.

The crime wasn’t being a raving lunatic with a gun - it was the lack of paperwork and a shirt to conceal it!

This is why we need new legislative maps in Wisconsin.

Matt wants to get back to his true passion project of owning teenage girls.

Also, is it just me or does he bear an uncanny resemblance to Richard Nixon in the picture?

My brother in doppelnamer!!

I share a name with a fairly famous actor with a very uncommon name. After the “wait, is your name really XYZ?” comment I just say “yep, no relation.” with a laugh. I get it about once a week. It used to irritate me but it’s a good icebreaker, and they never forget my name.

I am just grateful he keeps himself out of trouble. Michael Bolton is rough, but no one wants to be the other Jeffrey Epstein.

I feel this in my bones today. Can I add “The Fucking Garbage and Recycling”, since it’s Thursday?
