Instead it is a message to tyrants: The US is for sale, you may loot and pillage as you desire. The law cannot and will not stop you.

I’m in the same boat. Lemmy has some decent ‘gaming’ communities, but very few active communities around specific games. So when I need to find advice or discussion I still end up having to search Reddit for that sort of thing.

It at least pleases me to know this level of care is something he wishes to extend to all Americans. Many in Congress with this care would deny it to the rest of us as if it were some sort of favor.

The media wanted a competitive Republican primary to give them something to talk about. That’s really the only reason. Even with a 95% chance that Trump wins the nomination they can still talk about all the dorks fighting for second place.

My imaginary train is even faster.

Republicans are either “Strong MAGA” or “Nervous MAGA”. The party does not tolerate other perspectives.

I started learning Linux in 2009/2010 and remember doing hacky weird things in X to get my displays working properly and hearing about how Wayland was going to replace it and make that all easier. I had no idea it was such an ordeal and would still be in a transition at this point.

Journalists don’t seem to know how to report on politics when people are not acting in good faith. Why assume that Republicans stated motivations are genuine at this point? Republicans know that they will always be given the benefit of the doubt by the media and that their radical messages will be transmitted directly to their supporters and then sanitized and normalized when repeated by other media outlets.

Are you using disk storage or object storage for pict-rs? I need a better way to test updates but I’m trying to avoid having to duplicate my storage or risk breaking prod by pointing to my live object storage from a second instance.

I manage my own tiny insurance and it took long enough that I thought I broke something. I must need to turn up logging because the back end was completely silent except for “0.19.0” and I only knew something was happening because the database was busy.

Not anymore.

Yeah, I was using mine right up until they took it away from me. Now I use bluetooth or my chromecast, both which have their own problems.

Once I got to the point where I was running a ton of containers I’d occasionally have issues where a maintainer wouldn’t resolve issues fast enough for my liking so I started building more containers myself which was a lot easier than I’d anticipated.

Get the government off the backs of the great American people

And into their bedrooms, pants, classrooms, libraries and everything else… apparently.

When did ‘rootkit’ come to be a generic term for invasive software? Rootkits are a specific type of thing.

People managing their own users is super nice too. Easy self service password resets without me having to do it for them.

Ideally houses would have ceiling drops for Ethernet. Consumers are getting all these wireless mesh networks that cause more problems than they solve.

On the Steam Deck, ‘game mode’ runs in exclusive fullscreen mode without the KDE desktop environment. I’m not an expert, but I think the gamemode desktop environment is specifically tuned to the Steam Deck hardware and isn’t something that you can just replicate on your own hardware.

I really want to test this though, I’d love to build a ‘Steam Console’ running on standard x86 desktop hardware running Linux that launches directly into Steam.

I think the big cost savings on PC come from a lack of subscription fees. Plus a huge variety of storefronts to choose from so prices tend to be low. Games get cheap fast if you wait a little bit.

It’s pretty easy to match console performance with a budget PC, but it definitely isn’t as easy. I can’t wait until I can pause/resume games on my desktop like I can on the Steam Deck. Huge quality of life feature.

Having Generative AI make API calls on your behalf is a work in progress across pretty much every industry. It’ll make complex tasks across multiple services a lot easier but it’s definitely going to cause weird unpredictable behavior too.
