  • So Bigland then.

  • Man Displays Father’s Severed Head in Horrific Video Railing Against Biden, Immigration, ‘Far-Left Woke Mobs’
  • Yeah I don't think we want to demonize the folks that work at Redhat.

  • Twitch updates attire policy to prohibit implied nudity.
  • Hole up! Doesn't the existence of clothing imply nudity? Covering the nudity is what clothing is for! I feel like they hadn't thought that through all the way.

  • "Innovation"
  • Search engines exist. Pretty easy to find facts from a large number of different sources. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2021/jul/14/food-monopoly-meals-profits-data-investigation

  • Privacy is Priceless, but Signal is Expensive
  • Sure, now which pre-existing piece of xmpp based software checks all the feature boxes as noted by both Signal adherents and myself regarding Session? Are you implying the lay user code their own? If that exists you could have just linked to it rather than engage in whatever this is.

  • Privacy is Priceless, but Signal is Expensive
  • I will preface this with, I may be wrong, but as I understand it xmpp is just a protocol. One that, unless it's been revised, imparts no encryption at all. Signal, and Session, are full architectures that enable all of the afrementioned features from my initial post including server and client.

  • Gamedev and linux
  • Wow, a bit touchy. I didn't indicate that your world view was problematic. Just US centric. Was not in any way implying some morals to the debate.

    Simply stating facts that not all, arguably not even a majority are IT professionals, except perhaps in the US.

  • Gamedev and linux
  • Not sure what windows apps you're using but in my 20+ years IT that has absolutely, in most situations, not been the case.

  • Gamedev and linux
  • This is pretty US centric thinking. Linux doesn't have licensing. That means it's used extensively in other countries, especially poorer ones. Some countries entire governments use it. It's pretty huge in India too. Africa. Places where common folk, not IT professionals, use it but either have rough or no Internet and aren't communicating in English, especially not GitHub.

  • Gamedev and linux
  • I think part of this that I'm not seeing talked about, and perhaps confused for "more tech savvy users", is just the user hostility of Windows.

    9 times out of 10 when a Linux app or game crashes I get a verbose error and more often than not one that I can simply copy and paste.

    9 times out of 10 when Windows, or much of windows software, crashes it gives some random number or code and in a window I can't even copy and paste out of.

    My skill level doesn't change. Linux just isn't user hostile in nature making it easy to search for fixes and report issues. Where as on windows I can't summon the care or effort to manually transcribe the error so I can then do something with it.

  • Add-on: same password, same identity.
  • I get the joke.

    But related real talk phones get got a lot. They won't need to steal your phone they'll just hack it like every other computer on the planet.

    You don't have to look much for the evidence.

  • Police say there’s an active shooter in Lewiston, Maine, and they are investigating multiple scenes
  • I agreed with your factual correction. I'm not sure why you're coming at me so hot.

    I will maintain that while their facts may have been incorrect the intent isn't what you seem to want it to be. Of course the op of the reply we're replying to is the only one who can say.

    Also, yeah, you're right no systemic change has ever been successful ever so why try. /S

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Police say there’s an active shooter in Lewiston, Maine, and they are investigating multiple scenes
  • While your argument is sound it doesn't dissuade from the point the preceding argument was trying to make. Which maybe you missed, or maybe you just like to debate? Guns as they are now in this country are a big fucking problem. Anomalies are just as bad, and likely preventable, as any other thing with a higher number on some chart. Many might argue >0 is a number to large when it comes to loss of life.

  • Sounds like lots of folks who could take advantage of SmartTags/Airtags and the "notify when left behind" function. Tuck/Clip a tag in thing that needs to go with. Get electronically yelled at if you get to far.

  • Have you ever had a bad gut feeling about a (generally well-liked) person that ended up being totally justified? If so, what happened?
  • Deployed to Iraq cross leveled to a different unit. One of the staff sargents at this unit, who I didn't know at all, just had a super creepy touch children type look and vibe about him. I knew some shit was going to go down with this guy.

    There were two privates, both super young like 18-19, married to each other in this unit. Turns out he slept with the wife and it came out right as we were getting into country.

    The Army pretty much straight disappeared that Staff Sgt. I didn't see him again for like 8 months. Not even around the billeting. I wish I had said something before all that went down. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Remember kids: Canonical is not your friend.
  • Not if you install Firefox from Flatpak. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

  • Remember kids: Canonical is not your friend.
  • Flatpak steam can do all that. You just have to learn to control the flatpak sandbox. There are CLI commands of course or you can install Flatseal which is a real nice gui that lets you control the sandbox for each individual flatpak app. https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

    Just add whatever drive/directory/mount point in the filesystem path for Steam in flatseal and Steam can see it.

  • How to find Vans Wide Shoes

    Some time ago I ordered UA Authentic Wide C 2.0's in Green but via the Customs creator. I love them. They fit my wide feet perfectly. That said green doesn't go with everything. Is there some way to find wide Vans on the regular website or are doing customs the only way to find the 11W I need? If I go to men's shoes they only show 11 and 11.5 in the filter but no wides.

    I'm hardly an artist as evidenced by my totally unoriginal green shoe with white trim. It would be nice if I could just browse some awesome looking shoes designed by someone else, but that I know will fit me.
