You can run Windows on the Steam Deck but I'd argue you also introduce a bunch of new problems.

kick_out_the_jams,

Not a drop of historical context

Guessing you missed the essay dated 1960.

kick_out_the_jams,

"We are sorry for the fact that the game didn't meet the expectations of the majority of the players," reads a statement from Mytona, noting it's an investor in the game.

"Today we will work with Steam to open up refunds for any players who choose to make a refund. We're in contact with Fntastic regarding the future of the game."

Answer to those who ask for a refund. Mytona and we're currently working with Steam to allow refunds for any player who chooses to request one, regardless of game time. Fntastic received $0 and will receive nothing from The Day Before sales.

If you want to be mad about Apple not opening iMessage up, be mad that they don’t have an SDK, API, etc for non-Apple developers.

There might have been anger in the beginning but after 10+ years it's just kinda disappointment.

The only reason anybody is trying to make it a product is because there is demand and they think people will pay if they can deliver.

kick_out_the_jams,

Apple is just going to turn the codebase to iMessage over to a 3rd party?

You've got that backwards - beeper was offering to do that for their own codebase.

kick_out_the_jams,

Maybe you struggle to picture two things at once but I'm told with certainty that it is actually possible to do multiple things simultaneously.

Trump says he won’t return to witness stand in $250m New York fraud trial (www.theguardian.com)

Donald Trump announced he would not take the witness stand for a second time at his fraud trial in New York on Monday, the former US president’s last chance to make his case as he combats a potential $250m fine that hangs over his family business....

kick_out_the_jams,

He didn't win by getting the most votes the first time.

No surprise about him not testifying, though.
Last time he showed up he was really stuck on some disclaimer clause he thought would get him out of this whole thing.

Not realizing they went over all that earlier in the part of the trial where you are supposed to present documents.

kick_out_the_jams,

Kinda like how you're trying to gloss over everything about an entire person?

kick_out_the_jams,

If the open source community could provide such a thing for free I think they would have done it already?

But presumably they lack the ability, the motivation or both.

kick_out_the_jams,

The original posts were limited to SMS length because that was an interesting way to post.
For awhile cellular data connections were expensive and very limited - so it freed people from thinking about the quality of their opinions vs the precious time and megabytes it might take to post it.
You could just fire off a text from the toilet instead of having to think too deeply.

kick_out_the_jams,

It depends on the game but I'm surprised how well some games run.
Steam Deck got me playing games on MicroSD which is really where you feel the pain.

kick_out_the_jams,

they should target Hamas buildings

Hamas is a terrorist organization and not going to clearly mark their buildings in an organized or defined manner.

kick_out_the_jams,

That's true but it's neither an app or a common platform.
It's an exclusive one, hence the headline.

kick_out_the_jams,

It was in response to Ramaswamy's comments yesterday.

During Wednesday’s GOP primary debate, Ramaswamy appeared to embrace a baseless right-wing conspiracy theory that federal agents orchestrated the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

“Why am I the only person on this stage at least who can say that Jan. 6 now does look like it was an inside job?” he asked.

Freed Israeli hostages held by Hamas were terrified IDF airstrikes would kill them (www.businessinsider.com)

Freed Israeli hostages erupted in anger during a tense meeting on Tuesday with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying that they were terrified they would be killed by Israeli airstrikes on Gaza instead of their Hamas captors....

kick_out_the_jams,

Multiple photographs from the sites after the attack show the bodies of women naked from the waist down, or with their underwear ripped to one side, legs splayed, with signs of trauma to their genitals and legs.

you haven't seen these photographs huh

Killer’s family allegedly knew Gabby Petito was dead weeks before discovery (www.theguardian.com)

The fiance and killer of the domestic violence murder victim Gabby Petito desperately called his parents and told them that she was “gone” weeks before she was discovered dead – yet they later shared messages expressing hope that search efforts for her would end in success, her family has alleged....

kick_out_the_jams,

The amended suit does not elaborate on how the Petitos knew about the phone call Laundrie made to his parents about his fiancee being “gone”. But NBC News reported being told by the Petitos’ attorney, Pat Reilly, that the information came from depositions that the Laundries gave in October.

Having the right cartridge available without trying to find a shop selling them is.

One of the obstacles in this is if your printer only takes a single brand of ink.
I usually just order ink, but it's not too hard to find ones compatible with my brother in a store if I need one immediately.

kick_out_the_jams,

How would you describe 'fixed' inflation?

Price decreases would be deflation, but fixing inflation is literally something like stopping/slowing the rate of increase.

kick_out_the_jams,

Presidents are subject to an annual mandatory audit by the IRS.

Would it surprise anybody to find out that Trump somehow avoided this?

kick_out_the_jams,

US Elections were less than a month ago, it was mostly non-eventful.

kick_out_the_jams,

Since April 2022, Texas has bused more than 66,000 migrants to six Democratic-run cities, four of which have Black mayors - Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and Washington.

It's not a flood but a regular thing Republicans do.

All consoles are computers, in the sense that their chips are turing-complete
Nobody has really come up with a computer that can only run things you like and none of the things you don't.
They're just computers locked down by digital rights management, opaque operating systems, or other protection measures.

“The two preceding chairs of this committee violated the letter and spirit of Committee Rule IV,” he said, referring to a committee rule that requires at least one member of the minority to vote with the majority to end debate on a matter before moving to vote on it.

Durbin said one former chair, Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), violated this rule with a vote on Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination, and Graham was chair when he broke the rule to advance a partisan immigration bill without Democratic input.

“In doing so, Republicans established a new precedent that I followed on one occasion last Congress and will follow again today,” said the Illinois Democrat. “I’ve said time and again there cannot be one set of rules for Republicans and a different set for Democrats.”

The best remedy is a consistent set of rules, but once a precedent is established, that's basically the new rule until proven otherwise.

Israel Knew Hamas’s Attack Plan More Than a Year Ago (www.nytimes.com)

Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened, documents, emails and interviews show. But Israeli military and intelligence officials dismissed the plan as aspirational, considering it too difficult for Hamas to carry out....

kick_out_the_jams,

They’d rather portray themselves as allowing the attack to happen through carelessness or maliciousness because they can not allow their invincibility to be questioned.

I feel like their invincibility is questioned every time Hamas fires a rocket in their direction.
It usually takes more effort to defend something than to attack.

kick_out_the_jams,

the majority of our country has better sense than to elect him president again.

The majority of country didn't elect him the first time and definitely isn't necessary to elect a president.
The presidency is decided by electoral college votes, not by the people's vote.
