"Nationwide" is sanewashing. It's really expanding specifically to blue states (because its real purpose is punishing the regime's political enemies).

House Oversight votes to hold Clintons in contempt over Epstein subpoena

Jump

First of all, LOL, what a clown move by a clown committee.

Second, I don't give a shit about the Clintons and neither should anybody else. I would have loved for them to be held accountable for contempt, if it weren't for the fact that the committee itself lacks credibility and deserves it.

Third, I'm just hoping for the silver lining that liberal Democrats learn the hard way what they should've done with that power, back when they had the chance to wield it against MAGA fuckwads legitimately.

There's also Ubuntu (which is even less cool than Mint, i guess, but nevertheless exists).

FWIW, I play a lot of the sort of games where you use the mouse as a cursor to click on UI elements, so I actually like that it isn't captured and I can still click on other programs' windows. (For example, looking things up in the game's wiki while playing something like Oxygen Not Included or Stardew Valley.)

I can see how it'd be super-annoying in a shooter, though. I don't recall it ever being an issue for me, but I'm not sure if that's because it "just worked" correctly, or if it's because I just happened to run my shooter games in "real" full-screen mode instead of borderless window mode without really thinking about it.

Is there a reason why "real" full-screen mode doesn't work for you?

Been daily-driving Linux for going on a decade, but recently got a "smart [bicycle] trainer" and a Zwift subscription.

Using this the Zwift program runs just fine. However, passing sensor data through Zwift Companion on my Android (GrapheneOS) phone, only some of the sensors connect and others don't.

(Running Zwift itself on my phone connects to the sensors correctly, so that's what I've been doing so far. I would like to get it set up more completely, though, with a decent-size screen for the main program and freeing up my phone for Zwift Companion, so I do need to troubleshoot it eventually.)

How do emulators handle games that want to use the VMU as an auxiliary display? (Did that actually ever matter?)

Not radioactive enough, and way too tropical to be a suitable punishment. My vote would be the South Sandwich Islands, but I'd also accept St. Helena (where they sent Napoleon) if marooning them on an uninhabited polar island is considered too "inhumane" or something.

Good engineer, bad judge of consequences

This is supposed to be why they make you take one semester worth of ethics and learn about Therac 25 and that hotel with the incorrect bolted connection on its catwalk and whatnot, but it's a fucking joke that misses the point. Even in concept, it is wholly inadequate to stopping engineers from working for evil, especially if it isn't poorly-designed.

Shut it down. Shut it all the fuck down!

I don't even want the Democrats to condition it on demands anymore. I just want them to obstruct completely as a matter of principle that fascist government is worse than none at all.
