  • Im just happy Lemmy is developing its own novelty accounts and inside jokes. Reminds me of better, older days.

  • Exactly this, its the main reason people around this corner of the internet push ad-blocking software so much. Its a slow toxin that warps your subjective processing.

    Everyone is vulnerable to it, those that claim otherwise are deluded, and the only way to be free of it is to cut advertisment from your life in as many places as possible.

  • Thats like asking what hammer is best. You can use most if not all to drive nails, but not all are best suited for the task.

    Pop_OS lets Ubuntu drive fast and break things while focusing hardware/driver support, makes it great for video games. The only program Ive ever had issues with is Davinci Resolve, but those issues with linux compatibility are of their own creation, not the OSs.

  • He very clearly shit himself while on TV a few weeks ago, and its not headline news because reality is crazy town these days. I fully expect the day they announce he croaks to be a lie and they have been "Weekend at Burnies"ing him around for atleast 72 hours prior.

    If that happens early next year around his terms half-way point I fully expect a "Death of Stalin" scenerio (from the begining of the film, where they have to find the best Dr in Moscow, but cant, because they threw them all out of the country and finding one would mean the violated Stalins orders) because if Vance has to server for more than half the remaining term, he can only run for re-election once.

  • LoL no...

    Laws like this are trojan horses for draconian data collection policies and a failure of every other metric. The "Think of the children" people do not understand technology or how to enforce their own laws. Anyone with the impetus to get around the changes these laws mandate will do so with a google search and ~30 min. worth of effort regardless of age or ability to wave a credit card at something.

  • My jedi powers sense and increase in VPN subscription sales.

  • Thank you for the correction, been a long time since Ive been around higher ed.

  • State accrediation is usually harder to get than the national one. When looking at schools (if you give a shit on where the degree is from) the state accred is what your looking for. If it has just the national accred, then be warry of it being a diploma mill. If it has neither, dont bother, they are likely run by a cult.

    What I feel is going to happen is that companies will stop viewing that degree as favorably and pick applicants with stronger credentials. Worst case is that people with social science degrees from florida schools wont be able to breaking into job fields related to the degrees that are having the state intervene on the subject matter, but that will take years to notice if it happens at all.

  • Ill throw shit at hobby lobby and hate chicken because they are national chains and their owners views are abhorent. However, im not familiar with the views of Waffle House's owners, but their locations are almost entirely in the deep south. I dont expect anything worse than bog standard social ignorance from some of their owners and a policy to not wear politics in the office (thus this headline coming as a suprise), but please correct me if im wrong.

    The memes about Waffle House along with a few other establishments are there because they never close, are in well traveled places and are desperation food. To quote someone else from the internet, "You dont go to a Denny's, you end up at a Denny's"

  • Its that reason why I say everyone is a nerd about something.

    Yah, you may be talking to the former school jock/football star who was barely handed their diploma, but ask them about their sport/the industries around it. You will likely get a better lesson on statistics and managment that you can get out of most text books. (Assuming you can keep the conversation focused)

    People usually like talking about their interests.

  • In EvE Online, Goonswarm Federation usually goes by Imperium these days to crib GamesWorkshops branding for 40k and to get away from their old leader and past problomatic branding... For an online army of 10k angry nerds, got to look presentable...

    I will admit, online names used to have a bit more leaniency for being immature.

  • For consumer grade yes, I look forward to seeing more people choose anything else (even Apple). For enterprise, lol, they have every Dell or HP house in the world by the balls. Atleast they ensured system admins have more job security (not lime that was in short supply anyway)

  • Random name generators from World of Warcrack and EvE Online.

  • The Pinephone was a fun expiriment. I want that pinboard switch on other devices, but the linux dev/update cycle is very unconducive to the needs of most daily drivers.

  • No... Not really, but I like to pretend that I do.

  • He did it, he found the Warhammer Fourty Thousand.

  • Ive hosted my own TS3 server for well over a decade and matrix was spooled up this past year. They both are good products and server their roles, but they dont line up 100% with Discord and its user reach.

    I am hopefull TS6 gets the funding it needs to get out of beta and I wish the Fluxer dev the best (they are going to need it).

    What this whole discord debacle needs to teach people is how to be independent regarding your communications, data and their storage.

  • [Insert South Park "We're Sorry" scene here]

    Also, given the state of affairs and the lack of trust, I dont believe they are cutting them off. Assume the worst and do what you can to decouple from the platform I dont expect people to quit cold-turkey, but put in the effort, it takes a long time to degoogle yourself and given how ubiquitous discord was during the plague, I dont fault people for making sure lines of communication and contacts arnt broken.

  • Yah, been messing with meshtastic and have built [counts on figurers how many nodes ive built] and Reticulum is new and is on the to do list. [Checks increasingly long list of stuff to do]...
