Does that mean that Professor X might be in the redacted sections for renting out poor little Bobby? This new information doesn’t look good for a boarding school for unwanted children with a private jet for unregistered international travel.

Every time I notice I cannot use my full refresh rate over the HDMI on my 7900xtx in Linux because of licencing issues, I get rationally pissed off.

Unfortunately we are all out of name brand luxury gay space communism.

We do, however, have Temu deluxe ambiguous resource “sharing” managed by Grok, and an couple open packs of glow in the dark ceiling stars. Only $19.99 a month at 30% interest when you buy now, pay later.

Totally separate from the capitalism part, isn’t composting a portion of what is grown to return nutrients and maintain soil health a thing? Along with crop rotation, I thought composting the unwanted or unusable products either through a feed-to-manure or organic waste composting method was part of healthy arable land management.

The capitalism part is certainly creating a larger “unwanted/unusable” percentage, but is there any information on how it is impacting overall land sustainability? Monocropping is 100% known to be killing farmland, so I am wondering what the current state of agricultural research is around this.

But the other options are Junos, whatever unholy abomination Dell is doing now, or HPE Aruba.

Reading that both made me dumber just by its existence and made me throw up a little in my mouth.

God, I almost trauma blocked the driver situation for that first year or three. My q6600 and 8gb of ram ran like greased lightning, and disabling Aero made it even more responsive than 98SE or XP. (I am a latency and user experience fluidity whore though, so sacrificing eye candy for performance was and still is A-OK with me). The Aero design language was still killer even with the bells and whistles turned off.

The main reason to jump from XP (or 98) was the 64 bit jump and breaking the 4gh ram limit. XP x64 was kinda hot garbage, also due to driver issues if I recall correctly.

It would be nice if the old democratic Iran came back to be an actual “peaceful democracy in the Middle East” as a stabilizing entity.

I hope I am wrong about either Sha 2.0 or Islamic Republic remaster.

Vista honestly wasn’t as bad as we all said/remember, but it was the start of Windows optimization downturn. It worked great on top of the line systems with tons of power, and was the best looking Windows Microslop ever developed.

It just happened to also coincide with the start of netbooks and low power computers going mainstream, and marketing thought that the F1 requiring OS should also be sold on a 3 door hatchback with 60 horsepower.

There’s an old saying: “the child who does not receive the warmth of the village will burn it down to feel warm.”

It’s a scientific fact that legs cannot be or get cold. Much like birds, the legs of Midwesterners, Rock Mountain statesers, and Canadians evolved separated blood supplies in their legs that just exchange oxygen within the thighs to preserve core temperatures.

P.S. the best time to go to the beach in California is over Christmas, because you have the whole place to yourself and can laugh at everyone wearing coats in 60° sunny weather. Come on in, the water’s great!

My issue has been with #1 on your cheat sheet. My first modern (post 2014) migration attempt was with Manjaro, but every time I would install updates it would break secure boot. Then 2 weeks ago it just flat out killed grub.

I decided to take the advice of many people on the Linux side of Lemmy and nuked Manjaro in favor of CachyOS. I like it quite a bit more than Manjaro, and limine kicks grub’s ass, but I keep running into more limitations with the package manager. I look for windows software alternatives, find they should be available on the AUR, but then have problems getting an installation.

There is a lack of good documentation for using AUR on Cachy, and things aren’t intuitive for a long time Windows power user. That doesn’t even get into flat pack or AppImage. It’s a very steep learning curve.

TIL that Lithuania is Russia’s Scotland. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.

The Hunt for Red October did the same, the first minutes are in Russian with subtitles and then it slips into English mid sentence as if the audience adapted to the language. Very effective actually.

Doesn’t change the fact that it’s Sean Connery’s brogue on a Russian naval captain, but at least it somewhat explains it. Clearly the captain is from wherever the Scottish equivalent for Russia is.

Is that to the tune of llama llama duck?

I’m sure they would if the city would stop fining and harassing them about the bore holes for core samples. The pencil pushers are always standing in the way of real science.

They are not subject to Federal taxes (except FICA if you count that but they receive those benefits), which is just one of the reasons statehood polls in Puerto Rico tend to be relatively divided.

What a horrible day to have eyes.

It’s almost like the Bible is actually a collection of separate books written by a bunch of random people with wildly different ideas and perspectives over hundreds or thousands of years, and not a single coherent document written by a single omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent entity.
