Support peace. It is the only correct stance. There is zero reason for conflict, find a peaceful resolution.

So who will they get for the main character? In other words, who gets the hand job?

What Game Boy game do you love that you never hear anyone talk about?
Donkey Kong. I think people just think it's a port of the arcade game because it has the same first few levels but it becomes something more afterward and is incredibly fun.

Pixel 8 to have seven years of Android updates
Meanwhile every other phone is on some old version of Android. The fuck is going on where every single Android phone can't just upgrade to the latest? Why does the phone maker have to be the one to support the OS? It's like relying on fucking Dell to update Windows on a Dell desktop, for example. Makes no goddamn sense. I should be able to download any new version of Android for my devices and install them.
The only alternative is fucking crApple, and I won't go there. Fuck that pile of trash that you have to beg crApple to do any simple thing or have any simple customization. They control all their own phones and upgrade them, which solves that problem, but I want phones and tablets to work like a real computer. Is that so goddamn hard?

A visual guide to ACL Access-Control Lists
Confusing. You set a mask for a user and somehow it propagated down to a group and then you change permission on that group suddenly it applies to the user? Either something is wrong here or ACL permissions make absolutely zero sense. It is 5 billion times easier to use normal permissions to set these things up.

127.0.0.1 has never been "home". It's loopback or localhost. ~ or $HOME would be more appropriate.

Not even the ghost of obsolescence can coerce users onto Windows 11
These will be the same people forever defending and holding on to 11 after 10 is dead and 12 has been out forever. Just like all times before. The people holding on to 7 are now these staunch 10 defenders after it was obvious 7 was a crutch.

According to Steam's terms and conditions can they remove games from your library and are Steam emulators allowed?
Reply in thread
Not all games require Steam. Steam DRM exists for companies and individuals to use if they want, but it is in no way mandatory. Look for lists online of non-DRMed Steam games that can be ran completely without Steam.
Blame the maker of the game, not Valve.

The log files only have binary markers within the text. You could run the raw log files through strings and get the plain log files with everything important intact.

Phones should have FM radio again

Exactly. The real plea here is "bring back 3.5mm ports." I'm afraid of the day my old phone dies because I have this fear that even cheap-ass phones are going to abandon 3.5mm headphones for cheap, unreliable, garbage bluetooth trash.

When you need a scalable service for tons of users, federated isn't going to cut it. This is why Apple wants DDG. Point the bajillion crApple lusers at one of your public instances (or even all of them chosen at random each time) and watch it crash and burn overnight. DDG has tons of servers and the infrastructure to hold up while a ton of people search why their luxury device is slowing down every time Apple releases a new one.

Modern Linux distros tend to have configuration and dependency issues where certain packages if installed the "Linux Way" doesn't completely work as desired at times depending on the distro or even a desktop spin (which might have different default libraries installed than the "main" one). Flatpak is a single configuration meant to work one single way across all distributions and has become more of a standard, usable way for Linux applications to just work.
Use Flatpak. Easy to install and easy to tweak from flatseal or similar GUI Flatpak permission tweakers if you want more flexibility at the possible cost of security.

He can't be stopped
I've always called bullshit on the second movie making that much damn money. There's no way. Not nearly that many people cared about it at all, I seriously think somebody faked that attendance.

Microsoft ends free upgrade from Windows 7 to 11

You mean 2000 was the last tolerable version of Windows.
Everything since has been just the irritating pile of trash anyone doing anything decent with has had to put up with. Linux is nice to play around with but I sure the fuck have a long list of shit that isn't going to magically work on it.

You know, if I did get relevant ads from all of these places that are supposedly tracking everything that I do and monitoring my likes, I wouldn't mind ads so much. But the fact that even though Google, for example, knows everything that I do and everywhere that I go and everything that I like, they still serve me irrelevant ads that I would never care about in a billion years. All of this touted targeted ads bullshit technology and it doesn't even work. So I don't care, harvest everything that I like and everything that I do. Because it doesn't work anyway.

I'm not incredibly rich and can give everyone including myself infinite toys. So there's a bit of a disparity here.

Living to 120 is becoming an imaginable prospect
You're assuming humanity is going to survive the next 30-50 years. Unless we do some major course corrections right the fuck now (and that's not looking likely at all because most of it has to do with the rich and powerful who will never change), climate change and/or our own hatred of each other is going to make us extinct or at least endangered and very unhealthy.
