Someone did some digging and linked Meta to shadow organizations sponsoring these bills, and suggested that it’s a way to improve advertising because they can like real identity to activity. I have no evidence though

There was a channel called Let’s Play, of rooster teeth/achievement hunter origin. Markiplier didn’t have a channel until 2012. The Let’s play channel first uploaded in Dec 2011.

I think that is why many countries have primary schooling as a mandatory thing. Because children don’t want to do labor they don’t value, mental or physical. But we make them do it anyway, because a critically thinking, baseline educated population is important.

I’ve only got one system running it for now, but it has worked well for my 1080ti system. There are usually hiccups with Linux, but they’ve been small ones so far. Nothing worse than what happens on windows. And yeah it’s got a rollback system by default.

I don’t love that I recognize the art style / pose.

It has to be a reference to other posts, or perhaps the professor’s name is distinctly Kenyan?

I’ll be the odd one out, as a relatively new Linux gamer. I almost never shut it down unless I want OS updates. Weeks without an intentional shutdown usually.

I treat it more like a phone than I do a TV or radio like I saw other people mentioning. Always on, as I left it, running whatever it was running. Screen turns off after 30 minutes of course.

I don’t pay for power, so that’s not really a concern for me, and I use it frequently enough when home that most of my time involves the desktop in some way.

Also I’d already attacked it with a flap disk to get most of the surface rust off, it was pretty fuzzy when I started.

Well this was a personal project at a shop I work at, so I don’t have any pricing knowledge really. I did burn up several sides to the inserts I used, so that’s like $60 in tools, took about an hour of messing around with it. I bet a shop with more experience with hard metal and big stuff would charge you $100-200 to face it, depends on shop rate and stuff.

I flipped it over actually, try to get the bottom parallel but I gave up after a few passes, it would have taken more than I was willing to cut.

It said 127lbs on the casting, just about all I could do to pick it up.

Yep, just decking the top to make it smooth and flat. Had been forgotten in a barn for 30 years.

Many people using a VPN have the same IP address, and cloudflare and others can track that behavior and block those IP addresses. Different sites do it for different reasons, some do it for a little extra security because attacks often come routed through a VPN, some do it to block country specific content like Netflix does.

Zero click hacks often find exploits in the victims OS, places where protocols run automatically. Stuff like Bluetooth device identification, wifi, sms protocols. I’m certainly no expert, but they are rare and highly coveted, and nation-states spend a lot of resources finding them. Ethical hackers also look for them, to notify the software/hardware creators and get them fixed.

I’ve been using bazzite for about 7 months I think. I use my PC for Internet and gaming stuff for the most part, not a “workstation” user.

I prefer it to relying on windows, and I find lots of cool interesting things I didn’t know I’d like in kde plasma.

The built in app store, Bazzar, is really well tailored for gamers, plus lots of other utilities and such.

The “immutable” build of Bazzite (universal blue fedora) just means you’ll be installing most stuff as flatpak packages “on top of” your OS like apps on a phone. If you need something that isn’t built to be installed like that, you’ll have to spin up a container of the distro it expects, but I did that within a week and it wasn’t too hard.

I’m still running a 1080ti, so I’m not exactly peak hardware or performance chasing. Only problems with games so far are shitty DRM or Anticheats, and I don’t like competitive multiplayer stuff anyway. Check protondb for your favorites.

It’s stable. I don’t think I’ve ever “crashed” or “blue screened” my OS. Did have 1 lockup where I had to turn it off manually.

Expect to make “gamer rbg ram” levels of sacrifice in a few places, as with all free/foss/not mainstream products.

My grandma does the same for Costco('s) lol

That’s not a smoking gun, that’s a shitty chain email joke. It’s slightly suspicious but I need more evidence than that.

I just watched it, and it was good imo. I played the game a couple years ago I think, and while the film felt indie in several places, I think they did a really good job with the budget and team they had.

The effects were pretty good (except some of the sub shaking scenes), the dialogue got a little mumbly, and they captured the feeling of the game. I’d say well done, and I’d like to see more people shoot for the moon with movies based on games. Hollywood sucks at it after all.

He does bring up that natural gas is still a single use fuel. His argument was that it’s better than oil because it’s domestic, not better than solar and batteries. Also you missed the political call out of you only watched half an hour.
