  • Discord cuts ties with Peter Thiel-backed verification software after its code was found tied to US surveillance efforts

    Jump

  • Yeah, they’re doing the right thing here as a PR move, they may have known about the shady bullshit or they might not have but if they didn’t I bet they didn’t even ask or care in any way.

    Still time to find discord alternatives, luckily the landscape of alternatives seems a bit better than I expected.

  • The Finals Steam Background Recording workaround?

    Jump

  • Not that I’ve seen. To me the games seem a touch smoother, not better frame rates but more consistent a bit. I imagine there are probably just different quirks and wins/losses with and without game scope in different games maybe.

  • Something like SDL_RENDERER=wayland environment variable (not at computer right now), and make sure to launch the KDE Wayland session, not x11

  • 'Students Are Being Treated Like Guinea Pigs:' Inside an AI-Powered Private School

    Jump

  • Sure, but who wants to be at Beta School? Miss out on first-mover-advantage in (mis)educating your child? Only an idiot would do that!

  • Gavin Newsom is much worse than you think

  • progressive credentials

    He's only progressive if you squint a little, really want very badly to see him as progressive, and then pretend his actions line up with his progressive speech. And even the left-most of his speech is really milquetoast progressive, like elevator muzak rock and roll.

  • What's your opinion on Ubiquiti/Unifi gear?

    Jump

  • Not so much to the content of your post but to your title:

    Their web interface is nice, reasonably priced (not cheap) prosumer sort of gear. I have 2 APs and 1 router, 1 AP is flaky, it’s the 7 XGS which should be a high end AP. It gets pretty bad coverage with it and it’s flaky, randomly going offline once a week. RMAed it, replaced Ethernet cable, poe injector (ubiquity branded) and tried tweaking settings. Still happening

    So to the subject, some good in the web interface but I will not buy again. That said, most network gear has some sort of jank in my experience, flaky, or just bad management interface, etc…

  • What's a Linux distro thats breaks the windows mold and is good for testing?

    Jump

  • +1 here. I always felt some draw to a tiling or scrolling window manager but they were always a lot of work to set up and I never quite clicked with one. Niri with Dank Material Shell is pretty amazing.

  • If you haven't checked them out before, KEXP is a wonderful source of finding new bands.

    Jump

  • Definitely amazing channel, a couple great sets:

  • Yeah!!!… oh wait….

  • My Indian (dot) wife and all (most?) of her friends love when I ask this.

  • Alternatives for Photoshop?

    Jump

  • Pinta is pretty decent for some things, like a paint.net for Linux.

  • [UPDATED] Senate Democrats reach deal to avert partial government shutdown

    Jump

  • They'll cave. They aren't doing this because they think it's the right thing to do, they're doing it to keep their jobs. They weren't even interested in the idea of blocking DHS funding until the uproar about the latest ICE murder was louder than they anticipated, so now they'll act like they care, at least for a couple weeks until they cave.

    Idiot spineless assholes.

  • Amazon thought I was a toilet seat collector for 3-6 months after I bought a 3-pack. No amount of not clicking on those promoted items could convince them otherwise.

  • Your ring camera is being used to abduct your neighbors

    Jump

  • Amazon reviews were the first place I saw it and reolink even has a page about onvif doorbells where they say that the new model requires the hub. I don’t remember if it was all new models but pretty sure it was at least the new WiFi one since that’s what I’d need.

  • Your ring camera is being used to abduct your neighbors

    Jump

  • It’s sad that it’s 2026 and tough to find a good ONVIF doorbell. Apparently the new reolink models require the reolink hub. I just want something local I can connect to home assistant that works well…

    If anyone has recommendations, I’d appreciate them. Watched a lot of YouTube and a lot of conflicting takes out there where one review is terrible and another sounds like it must be sponsored with how much they love it.

  • Embarassing rule

    Jump

  • That’s my secret… I’m always embarrassed.

  • Trump must give up ‘fantasies about annexation’, says Greenland’s PM

    Jump

  • All Trump has are fantasies, about everything. The world he talks about does not exist.

  • Can do full disk encryption of root and auto-unlock with tpm, the auto-login is a separate thing and not necessarily the same password

  • Corporate mantra:

    Profits Rule Everything Around Me

    Microtransactions may make a game an unplayable pile of shit most of the time, but they’re a great way to turn children’s allowances into corporate profit if you’re a gigantic corporation that doesn’t care at all about amount of fun that can be had in a game.
