peto (he/him)

I can’t prove it but I am more certain that the first bit of worn armour ever made was to protect some guys dick than I am about gravity.

Authority doesn’t exist. He does likely have the power however.

Died quicker too.

See the problem with this is that even if I write code with this font, I can’t force people to read it in this font.

There is generally a battery that powers the clock and keeps it running even when there is no external power to the system normally one of the larger coin shaped ones. It’s non-rechargable as it lasts for a long time. It’s being constantly drained but it’s only the smallest trickle.

If you can get to the internals you should be able to find and replace it, it’s pretty obvious when you know to look for it. While you are in there you can check for corrosion/damage to the traces and components, give things a dust. The biggest issue is probably going to be an old battery, 20 years ago they were rather primative and though generally more replaceable than modern builds, getting a replacement might be harder.

The thing about billionaires it that they could just stop. It’s not a skin colour, it’s not an ethnicity or even a religion.

If they wanted to they could redistribute the wealth. They could use their power to close the political doors they exploit.

Wouldn’t even have to check themselves out, wouldn’t even have to adopt some monastic lifestyle. But they would rather live in a world where they have lifetimes of obscene luxury at the expense of others. At a certain point you have to ask if causing suffering is part of their fun.

And there generally is, most libraries have a catalogue or at least a directory explaining the numbering system at a topic level. Thing is, this sign doesn’t just help people come to the library wanting help with these things. It helps people in the library who are experiencing this and didn’t know they could find a book to help them.

Hell some people don’t even know they need help with these things until someone offers.

Should Vale release a general Steam OS and folk move away from Windows en masse it’s probably going to be worth it. Proton does a great job but a tested and supported Linux build will be better. Some solos do it, but I think it is more based in ideology rather than necessity.

Your time and effort as a solo is going to be limited though, testing and supporting a Linux build is going to be work, and if you want to keep things closed source you are not going to be able to leverage the community in the way open software does.

There might be steps you can take to be more compatible with Proton and/or Steam Deck, which probably would be a good idea, and give you much more effect for your time spend.

I only really associate HP with corporate machines, which they seem to work fine for. Don’t really associate them with the gaming space. Of course them looking at it is probably a sign that the handheld market is about to really open up, which is a good thing I think.

And if they make a good product with neither their corporate bullshit or all the ‘gamer style’ gimmicks I anticipate from folk like Razer or Alienware.

What I’d really like though is something DIY, or at least Framework-like. A man can dream…

True. If the movement was called boycott facists, or even buy local I don’t think there would be the same problem.

Exactly what I am talking about. Plenty of facists in the EU, plenty of non-facists outside the EU. Make your decision based on the politics of the people you are buying from, not what flag they wrap around themselves.

I think the buy EU thing (and for that matter, all this trade war bullshit) is one of those things that claims to be apolitical but is inherently nationalistic and so massively popular with/supported by/in support of the authoritarian right.

One of those salt of saturn political things that lets people pretend they aren’t right-wing.

Or the beginning I suppose. Could be someone gaining their power.

That 2000 IQ king sacrifice gambit.

Are we entirely sure it’s not just an ornament? I’ve got all kinds of things that aren’t even ritual objects.

And as AI monsters go, it’s far from the worst. Barely even a monster.

Scum practice by a scum company. Nothing of value is lost by not going there.

I don’t even think this is top 5 worst things they’ve done.

No wonder he was the captain of the Black Perl…

As if they consider women people.

You have to use it a lot. From what I can tell that’s their problem, they priced unlimited access low based on some numbers they pulled out their arse and then were all shocked Pikachu face when people used it and unlimited amount.
