The fact that you can’t run through Windows setup w/o internet and an online account is absolute bullshit
Shift + f10 for cmd. Then do "start ms-cxh:localonly" and hit enter. Enjoy local user profile without internet.

I just use the native docker apps that truenas has preconfigured. The one time I needed a custom compose container I just bashed my face against the keyboard until it worked. This is how I feel about all containerization. There really should be an easier system. Nothing wrong with higher accessibility.

Behold, "the whole story of Steam's economy in one picture": the top 1% of games earn 84.5% of estimated revenue, and most games barely make anything

How do you decide what qualifies for the community dividend? Does every publisher get an amount from the dividend? Is the dividend a pool of earnings that has to be split evenly? Are there devs that don't qualify for the dividend? Is it because they make too much money? Or because the thing they created is ai slop uploaded specifically to syphon free money away from the dividend? You either have very wealthy devs taking from the pool or you have people who shouldn't be allowed to call themselves devs taking money from the pool, either way it's unfair to the devs who poured their heart and soul into a project nobody heard of.

A mass 'de-flock' campaign is planned for Halloween, allowing masked people who may wish to remove flock cameras to blend in with the crowd.
Reply in thread
Near-Infrared cameras can see through many thin fabrics and some other materials. If you wear a good enough mask, it shouldn't be a concern. But most cheap Halloween costumes are made of the exact materials that can be seen through, which is a whole other concern. I had to demonstrate how easy it is to see through some clothes with the right (easily accessible) equipment for my mom to force my little siblings to wear full proper clothing under Halloween costumes. (I'm much older than the youngest kids in my family.

I thought I was adding to the discussion. I wasn't dismissing your idea, I was providing a perspective on what could go wrong and asking how that might be handled.

Two lifelong Republicans leave the GOP in support of trans grandchild
Reply in thread
Most of the right are the uneducated and poor voting to empower a system that already oppresses them. For many of them, it's not about what affects whom, it's about whose side is winning. The fact that a Republican changed sides at all is enough for me. I do not care why.

Texas sues Biden administration to limit teenage access to birth control

Because democratic Texans have been convinced that their vote doesn't matter. However that couldn't be further from the truth. Ted Cruz would have lost his last election if something like 6% of registered Dems who did not vote, had voted. Also Greg Abbott would have lost if around a quarter of those registered, non-voting Dems had voted. The propaganda in TX is deeply ingrained in its residents. The state would have voted blue in the last presidential election. Trump won by 8% while over 20 million registered voters did not vote.
IF YOU LIVE IN TEXAS AND YOU ARE READING THIS PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS LIVING, VOTE.
here is a link to verify that you are registered (many residents believe they are registered but are in fact not)
https://www.texas.gov/living-in-texas/texas-voter-registration/
If you are not registered, register here:
https://vrapp.sos.state.tx.us/index.asp
Print out your registration and mail that fucker in today so you'll be ready for early voting in October
YES TEXAS HAS EARLY VOTING AND TIME OFF LAWS. THAT MEANS WORK CANNOT PREVENT YOU FROM TAKING TIME OFF TO GET TO THE VOTING BOOTHS.

That's the risk you take with an outdoor brat. It's not even like water is harmful to it.
I used to have an outdoor brat and if that happened I would have shrugged it off and expected him not to go there again.

I do this from time to time but with bison. I will casually slip "flock of bison" into a conversation hoping someone corrects me to "herd of bison". So I can say. "No I hadn't heard about your bi son. You must be so proud."

Anon orders food
Girls have a super power they can use to live rent free in any guy's head pretty much eternally. All they need to do is catch them off guard with a compliment.
A guy will keep a shirt until it literally disintegrates if one time a girl said "that color looks good on you." Pretty much every guy that wears a particular cologne, wears that cologne because at some point a girl said he smelled nice. It's not even a horny brain thing I don't think. It's just that guys get so few compliments on their appearance that every single one is massively precious to them.

Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS
What is this news outlet? This seems like just an outright lie...
Here's another article from a more well known source saying the opposite is true. That they have no windows 12 release plans for 2026 and instead they're trying to fix the issues with 11 and reduce the amount of AI is being pushed on the user.

Mozilla chairman's salary vs Firefox market share (as of 2023)
This graph shows a disingenuous relationship between revenue and the market share of a free and open source project within the walls of a not-for-profit organization. Firefox is not a revenue stream in the traditional sense. In fact, most of Mozilla 's money comes from grants and donations for projects and research they do.
I get that CEO=EVIL is a viral topic these days but if all you know about Mozilla is that they make the Not Chrome browser, then you should really educate yourself on what it is that Mozilla actually does for the internet. Then you might feel a little better with this pay scale graph.
That all aside, this graph shows the market share of Mozilla when there were 5 browsers available to the vast majority of users, Internet Explorer, Firefox, chrome, Opera, and safari. It's also before chrome took over the market share from IE at the same time that it pushed out Firefox as the leading browser because chrome was available on the iPhone and was the default browser on Android devices. Hardly a surprise to see that when the internet exploded in users and literally every human being started to carry around a chrome device in their pockets that Mozilla Firefox's market share went down.

Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking
If you follow the standard 5 day business week, that is 70 hours worked for every 50 hours not worked. Account for 8 hours of sleep a night and you have 2 hours a day to commute to your job. Literally zero time for any other needs. And that's ONLY if you are generous enough to give everyone the weekend to recharge.
For a 7 day work week with no days off, allowing for 8 hours of sleep per day and 2 hours of commute time, that is 4 hours a day to do anything else. I also would assume that part of the day would still be considered off hours for lunch. As well. Call it 3 hours a day for anything not work related.
This man should be hanged for even suggesting this as a reasonable productivity schedule for any living being.

If they're people, why aren't they in prison?
I had an employer who would tell us that we were committing "Time Theft" any time we were on the clock and not actively working on something at any moment of the day. When California DoL started cracking down on my city, my employer started complaining about government overreach and "State Sanctioned Time Theft" when he was required to give us 2x 15 min breaks on the clock on top of a whopping 30 minutes off the clock for lunch.
