DoJ is currently in a lawsuit against Google for search monopoly. Been going on for a while now.

Then you ask questions about what the past person could possibly have been thinking. You wonder what logic path brought them to create the code this way. You check git blame. It was you.

Woah there! This is GNOME. You don't get choices.

HAHAHAHA 😂😂 None of those are Ukraine.

My fluids professor told us about that when someone asked why do we have wood on the material roughness tables. No one believed him so he brought in a small section of a wood pipe he took from a construction site.

They are bringing votes to a political party who is supporting a genocide where more than 40k people died so far, many of them are children.

It would be no different under the alternative administration. Probably worse actually. There is a very good reason that Iran created a plot to kill Trump and continues to hammer on influencing against Trump. https://www.npr.org/2024/07/16/nx-s1-5042424/trump-iran-plot

The local newspapers in my area send each candidate in every race a form of question that they then print. Typically it is very easy to tell which candidates understand what the that form is, there are those that don't understand, and then there are ones that don't return it. It's makes choosing much easier for me. I'll still pull of websites and check past news articles for each one I am considering.

Support your local newspapers!

Even heavy gamers are getting a much better experience on Linux these days (yay Proton!). There are a couple of anti-cheat systems that are still trouble some, but honestly if the developers don't want to to put in the much smaller amount of effort to make it work on Linux, I don't want to give them my money.

clutches pearls They wouldn't dare! faints

Internet archive, and a chunk of r/datahoarders, is built for that purpose. Just as people have saved old paintings (aka media) it's also good for us to save significant pieces of our current culture. Old VHS tapes and CDs are already disappearing. Sometimes finding something is just a little bit more difficult and it's only going to get worse.

Oh it gets worse and still only in NWS area. All of the severe weather alerts from thunderstorms to hurricanes are also done by NWS. Not to mention the radio stations they broadcast all of that information on that are also used to help tune antennas and receivers.

This would kill thousands of people every year. And it's mostly red states that would feel the biggest burden of being hurt. It does not make any sense except to acknowledge that the people writing P2025 really do not give 2 flying shits about anyone but themselves.

I fire up a Win10 VM for just this purpose. I pass-through the USB and the 8bitdo software is able to change settings just fine. I really wish there was a build of the software that ran on Linux.

Edit: Spoke too soon! I searched again and found this write up for getting it working with WINE. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems reasonable. https://gist.github.com/pocobio/3921e097d0f8fb36f34a3d90a61d5e84

The back log is great and still very watchable.

Not really with ATT fiber anymore. The fiber goes straight into their router to authenticate. There is no option for me to purchase an equivalent piece of equipment. I am forced to pay to use their equipment. Fuck ATT.

Years ago I called them to get an RMA on a scanner that had a fingerprint on the INSIDE side of the glass. They wanted me to disassemble it and charge me $70 for the knowledge on how to do so. Fuck HP.

Their sales reps that hang out at Microcenter would actually not stop talking to me. I literally walked past them and wouldn't make eye contact. They followed me through the whole section. It wasn't until I approached an actual MC employee and said, "I will never buy an HP product. Can you help me?" The HP guy still followed us while I bought another printer! Fuck HP.

I continue to be impressed with the Arch community and their dedication to collecting information about Linux into one place. Props to everyone that has contributed! You really are helping users solve problems everyday!

Wait, Lidarr also has broken metadata search?

I think that is just wildly amazing that printer drivers in Linux so often just work. I plugged in a wireless printer the other day and the hardest part was connecting it to the network. Once that was done BOOM Ubuntu found it and I could print. Those driver maintainers are doing a great job!

I did it purely so I could fully back up my server VM and move it to new hardware when I wanted to upgrade. I just have to install Proxmox, attach the NAS, and pull the VM backup. And just like that everything is back to running just as it was before the upgrade! Now just faster and more energy efficient!
