  • Trump thinks he at least deserves a ‘thank you’ for sending money to starving Gaza

  • Ok cool, Trump, but what about those Epstein files?

  • If we're adding "runs from people trying to ask them questions", we should be more accurate about it.

    runs from people trying to ask them questions, calling them plants put there by political opponents

  • Democratic governments should allow all voices to be heard, not silence speech they dislike.

    That's real fucking rich coming from the government that:

    • Removed all references to "trans-" regardless of context.
    • Retaliates against left-leaning press.
    • Calls information they dislike "fake news".
    • Sends immigrants to concentration camps.

  • Musk ordered shutdown of Starlink satellite service as Ukraine retook territory from Russia

  • one more took some significant steps in that direction earlier this year.

    One? Last I checked, both weather and mail are both on their way to privatization.

  • KDE Plasma 6. HDR is supposed to be supported and I do have it enabled under the monitor settings...

  • Sounds like the most sensible option

    Jump

  • I don't use GNOME, but I'll give those launch parameters a try and see if that works, thanks!

    Edit: It didn't work. The game could detect HDR, but the color was completely washed out. Probably Nvidia being Nvidia, but oddly enough HDR can work if I use gamescope as an intermediary.

  • Ghislaine meeting with the DOJ today for a chat

    Jump

  • It doesn't seem to matter even if there is.

    The Republican Party doesn't want to impeach him. Some of Democrat Party do, but their efforts get squashed by the Republicans and the other half of their own party.

    He can't be held personally accountable for abusing his power in this case either, thanks to SCrOTUS basically saying that official presidency acts are above the law.

  • Sounds like the most sensible option

    Jump

  • What GPU and DE? It's been a complete nightmare for me, and only the gamescope WSI seems to actually work.

  • DOJ told Trump that his name is among others in the Epstein files: report

    Jump

  • MAGA claims to have the same distain for the "elite class", but always makes a special carve-out just for Trump and his loyalists. I don't get it.

    Political tribalism with a heaping spoonful of introspection avoidance.

    It doesn't matter to them if the other team gets hurt. As far as MAGA is concerned, liberals and progressives ("the Dems") had it coming and deserve the consequences. But, if their own team gets hurt, that's simply unacceptable because they are the good guys.

    That's why they'll look the other way if Republicans, MAGA, QAnons, or Trump supporters are caught out as pedos, extremists, rapists, or criminals. It's an uncomfortable truth that doesn't align with their reality. They would have to accept that they're wrong, so they deflect and distract not to convince others but to convince themselves and protect their egos.

  • With Linux:

    I don't have forced updates.I do have driver compile error when I update the kernel.

    I don't have spyware recording my screen.I don't have Discord record my screen when I want it to, either.

    I don't have ads for games in my launcher.I don't have HDR for games in my Steam library.

    Etc.

  • Russia’s VK unveils WeChat clone built on Putin’s orders: the app has mic and camera access, gathers user data, and shares it with the state

  • It's not WeChat, it's ШеСнат. That's an entire alphabet of differences! /s

  • Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC

  • Aside from anticheat BS, Linux has come pretty far. It's not perfect, but it's not the frustrating mess like it used to be half a decade ago.

  • Look, I'm not saying the wheel is wrong. It rotates, but what if two people try to turn the wheel at the same time, in opposite directions?

    What if—instead of risking misuse of the wheel—we have a my_wheel::Wheel, which only one person can rotate at any given time? The multiverse could enforce this safety at compile time by making it impossible for there to exist a universe where two people both think they own the right to rotate the wheel. In fact, it could even make it impossible for me to lend out the wheel to more than one person at a time.

    And, maybe... we could make the wheel even better. Cars rest on top of wheels, sure. But what if I wanted to make a car that rests on top of other cars? If we rotate the super-car's wheels, we don't want to make the sub-cars flap around—we want the sub-car wheels to rotate. It would be more future-proof to make a Wheel trait, then to make RubberTyre implement Wheel. Then, if we ever needed to make cars into wheels, we could have them also implement Wheel—but delegate the responsibility of rotating to their own wheels.

    In fact, we should make it into a whole library. Our other projects could need wheels. Mr. Mittens might need them eventually!

  • Should i switch to linux? please tell me why or why not.

  • Do you have HDR monitors? If you do and care about having the HDR part working, you'll likely want to pick one that uses KDE Plasma for the desktop environment.

  • Linux Distros for Gaming: CachyOS is Taking over (ProtonDB data)

  • 3.1% NixOS... that's barely a step below Debian at 3.4%. Is Nix really that popular?

  • Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures?

  • Like it or not, there are people with more power that dictate structure and an order of things.

    That didn't work out too well for the French monarchy, did it?

    It's more accurate to say that the average person doesn't desire a power structure but merely tolerates it so long as it provides them with some benefit. The moment those structures become oppressive, they get violently torn down.

  • Trump intervenes to help block law requiring priests report child abuse in confession

    Jump

  • Trump's Justice Department weighed in too, calling the law "anti-Catholic" and saying "a more direct burden on the exercise of religion would be difficult to imagine".

    The fuck it is. There's plenty of easier burdens to imagine than making priests mandated reporters for child sexual abuse, such as:

    • Banning them from holding public positions.
    • Outlawing the practice of religious ceremony in public places.
    • Making tithing illegal.
    • Disallowing religious symbols outside of private residences.
    • Removing tax exemptions for religious organizations.

    See? It's really not hard. And those are far worse for Catholics than not being allowed to protect pedophiles.
