  • Convicted Felon Trump Lies About Crime Rate In D.C., Deploys Troops

    Jump

  • Honestly I'd love to see them flip the narrative and stand against the criminal thugs... in ICE and many metro police forces.

  • Thank you Tim Apple, who by the way is looking a little pudgy

    Jump

  • Oh, it won't improve then either. The mega rich will stand in a mountain of the dead before they'll give up even a fraction of their wealth, and they'll lash out at anything that they "fear".

  • first time using linux, how screwed am I?

    Jump

  • Arch has a bit of a steeper learning curve. Ubuntu is probably the most "mainstream", but I prefer Mint (based on Ubuntu) for some user-friendly changes. PopOS (already based on Ubuntu) is also supposed to be a bit more gaming centric if you've got an Nvidia card.

    I've got an AMD kit in my main machine and Nvidia/Intel in my laptop and both work fine with most Steam games using Proton.

  • In Norway, laser weapons are being used to remove sea lice from farmed salmon. The Stingray Laser System uses cameras to scan the fish, identify lice, and then deliver a laser pulse to kill them.

    Jump

  • So now the fish are lice free, but blind? D'oh!

  • California May Ban Lyft And Uber From AI Price Gouging Users With Low Phone Batteries

    Jump

  • some permissions can be set per app. I'm not sure battery level is one of those and I have apps (i.e. homeassistant) which can read thatwithout me actually having explicitly allowed it. Usually it's stuff one pictures/files, location, camera or health data that are restricted

  • Ah heck

    Jump

  • Yeah you just get to do the work of 3+ people as others get laid off and the workload shifted to you, until you can't actually manage to keep up and then either get laid off or quit...

  • Ah heck

    Jump

  • I refer to this as "the curse of competence"

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Yeah. I played that biach in poker and she cleaned me out. Pay sure she had her little animal friends informing on my card.

    Fair my ass...

  • Denmark zoo asks public to donate unwanted small pets or horses to feed captive predators

    Jump

  • My comment was mostly a joke but that is a fair point. No tiger-pit for body disposal then

  • Denmark zoo asks public to donate unwanted small pets or horses to feed captive predators

    Jump

  • Not my kid, but if I'm terminal I'm gonna add "killed by some food-safe means and then fed to tigers in front of zoo patrons" to my potential death plans.

    "The funeral will be at the civic building at 10am, and the viewing at 12:00 by the tiger sanctuary in Edgewater Zoo"

  • Anti-Trump MeidasTouch dethrones mighty Joe Rogan as top podcast in US

    Jump

  • People need to start somewhere, and sometimes smaller acts of defiance can grow

  • Magic Rocks

    Jump

  • Makes sense.

    When I spend a lot of time doing 3D design work I find myself looking at the world afterwards in terms of underlying mathematics, angles and shapes. Like I'll look at a cabinet and see rectangles and cylindrical cuts that could reproduce it in 3d, or a lamp-post as a circle extruded along a path.

    People who are really into rocks probably notice more about that stuff because their brains are hyper-focused on such

  • Mastercard deflects blame for NSFW games being taken down, but Valve says payment processors 'specifically cited' a Mastercard rule about damaging the brand

    Jump

  • They're not talking about with Steam customers though, but rather with the religious idiots who have decided to crusade against porn, feel emboldened by recent age-ID bills and are now pursuing the "MasterCard funds filth" angle.

    I'm kinda wondering what the ratio of anti-porn religious knobs is you gamers. There's a lot of religious folk but many of them also enjoy porn so ...

  • Straight men don’t have enough friends—could gay men be the cure?

    Jump

  • No shit eh?

    Gay couple? Do both like classic LAN games, some board games, etc and have an appreciation for sarcastic humor? Cool, it's a 2-for-1 friend special! Why not?

  • hygiene

    Jump

  • That's horrible but kinda hilarious too. Wondering how the hell they tracked that one down.

    "Well this one had bits of corn and bean in it but only Bob had that today for lunch and I'm positive I saw him bolting for the men's room, so mayyybe..."

  • hygiene

    Jump

  • I've got a cheaper, tap-cold only version (mainly because that's the easiest to install without running new plumbing or electrical in that particular location). Honestly the cold water isn't so bad. It can even numb things up if you've been dehydrated and launched a particularly stressful cannonball.

  • short

    Jump

  • I thought it was supposed to be a pineapple?

  • YSK this is Susie Willies. She is the most powerful woman in the United States.

    Jump

  • I've read plenty of books, and I'm not really a huge Potter fan but it happens that my kids were re watching the old movies.

    Still, Umbridge stands in my mind as one a great example of somebody who assists evil by hamstringing good and chipping away at hope, all while stating "this is for your own good" mentality.

    It's one of the few TV characters that actually made me angry because she's so believable

  • Battlefield 6 will be a unplayable on Linux systems due to the anti-cheat

    Jump

  • Ha. I really wanted to play BF2+Project Reality back in the day but it never quite ran right on my PC (more the fault of the PC than the game or mod I think).

    I'll check Squad out
