RavenFellBlade,

Those are definitely Cloud Strife’s. Dude straight up nicked Cloud’s boots when nobody was looking.

Heat Index in Brazil Hits 137F (58.5C) (www.okdoomer.io)

It's official, red alerts have gone out across the entire country of Brazil as the heat index hits 137F. The high temperature combined with humidity has made it impossible for most people to carry out their normal lives. There's already reports of power outages. People can't work. They can't run errands. They can barely sleep....

RavenFellBlade,

Southern Hemisphere. It’s late spring there.

RavenFellBlade,

Get the permit for Shinrarta Dezhra and go to Jameson Memorial. Every ship, weapon, and module all in one convenient location.

RavenFellBlade,

Vulture or Type-10 for me. Especially at T-10 with moar spoiler.

RavenFellBlade,

I’ve been saying that about Twitter and Reddit from the beginning. Both have been platforms responsible for significant progressive organization. The Arab Spring would likely not have happened without Twitter. Conservatives know they cannot compete in the “marketplace of ideas”, so their only means to compete is to silence the competition by dismantling the platforms progressives use to organize and communicate their ideas.

RavenFellBlade,

Same. Almost every autist I know who has any interest in politics is very strongly leftist. It’s the sense of justice and disdain for obvious bullshit, I suspect. At least it is for me.

RavenFellBlade,

Bad Moopsy! Leave Bones alone!

Share your tips and tricks!

Starfield is a massive game with lots of systems and a massive amount of area to cover. I thought it would be nice to share useful information as a community. So what is your secret best spot to find medpacks? What skill was more useful than you thought? What thing did you not learn about until you were 15 hours in, that you...

RavenFellBlade,

My valuable tip: resist the temptation to play on the cloud. It’s frustrating to the point that I put the game down until I can afford a Series X. My PC won’t run it, and my One X can only play cloud, and it’s just so damned unreliable with constant lag spikes.

RavenFellBlade,

I don’t have access to wired internet where I am. I have a 5G household wifi hotspot at ~100 Mbps, and it has actually worked great for a lot of other games. I play Hardspace: Shipbreaker and Everspace 2 on it without issue. I’m not really sure what the specifics are, but I’ve had issues every time I’ve played Starfield. I went from Everspace 2 without issues to Starfield playing like a Vaseline smeared slideshow and right back to Everspace 2 with no issues, so I suspect it may be related to something about this specific game, or massive coincidence. I get occasional hiccups in other games, rarely. Starfield has been pervasive lag issues without fail.

RavenFellBlade,

I earnestly believed that quicksand was going to be a far more prevalent danger in my life than it has.

RavenFellBlade,

Ray? Ray…

RavenFellBlade,

Glory!

RavenFellBlade,

Work! Glory to your houuuuuuse!

RavenFellBlade,

I couldn’t see it.

RavenFellBlade,

Love Steve. Dude is always on point.

RavenFellBlade,

Good. I despise Trump, and look forward to seeing him and all of his crooked cronies behind bars. However, nobody has any right to threaten or attempt to harm anyone. This imbecile deserves the full weight of the law just like all of these morons threatening the judges and prosecutors overseeing Trump’s now numerous indictments.

RavenFellBlade,

Yeah. All those damned Jewish Nazis in charge over there.

If you were any dumber, you’d be a doorstop.

RavenFellBlade,

FOSS platforms with closed clients are fine, because nobody has any unilateral ability to dictate the direction of the platform. You can always choose whichever client you want, so long as the underlying platform is FOSS.

Reddit and Twitter have proven that closed platforms aren’t compatible with FOSS clients because eventually, the closed platform will force out all competing clients to monetize every last bit of traffic it can.

And honestly, I have a higher degree of trust for Sync Apps LTD than I do for most others because they have historically been above-board in their dealings and have always been user-forward in everything they do. If that changes, then it changes. And so might my decision to support them. However, considering their entire business model is and has been dependent on the continued loyalty of their user base, I doubt they will make any significant changes that could affect their reputation.

And let’s be honest, where software is concerned, there’s a reason that all software isn’t FOSS, beyond just “greedy capitalist overlords”. The overwhelming majority of FOSS software is simply not as user-friendly or, in many cases, stable or even usable to people who don’t possess a significant degree of computer software and hardware literary. Most folks don’t have the know-how or time to go combing through dozens of conflicting and outright contradictory online resources trying to figure out exactly which .lib file is causing their software to crash on startup, or to learn how the hell to use github.

RavenFellBlade,

It’s amazing how divorced from reality the FOSS obsessed can be whenever anyone mentions non-FOSS apps. Nobody is bending over backwards, and nobody is sucking anyone’s schlong. If Sync were to have been FOSS, you’d be first in line to sing its praises. This trollish behavior doesn’t win anyone over to the “All Software Must Be Foss” camp at all. Must be a PC Master Race thing.

RavenFellBlade,

From the perspective of someone who isn’t currently in the “Bad If Not FOSS” mindset, this image really gets the impression backwards. To the average user who doesn’t appreciate the user-unfriendly klunk and jank that is inherent to FOSS interfaces, it really feels like the image should depict a bunch of FOSS Teletubbies being intruded upon by a competent Power Ranger.

I used to be a FOSS guy. And then I realized I valued my time and sanity way too much to spend more time troubleshooting and nudging my software into just working normally than I did actually using it.

FOSS software as the underpinning of the platform that is then accessed by a closed-source client is, ultimately, the best circumstance we could ask for. Clients are what the user actually interacts with. If that experience is more engaging and approachable, you get many more users on the platform overall, without threatening the sanctity of the freedom of the FOSS platform it all runs on. There is no one authority to make unilateral decisions to derail the platform, while still offering a more welcoming public face. If you can’t understand that, or don’t care to recognize it, that you’re content to let the platform wallow in obscurity.

RavenFellBlade,

It comes from a ten year period of distro-hopping a dozen different Linux distros that ultimately all fell short of delivering an experience anywhere near as stable or reliable as Windows or Mac OS. The closest I got to that was Mint, which I ended up using from Mint 9 thru Mint 17. And then the drivers for my nVidia graphics card just…broke. I had my laptop set up as a dual boot, and until that driver mess, rarely ever booted Windows. After the driver busted, I found myself having less and less interest in spending ungodly hours trying to coax some other distro into cooperating (Ubuntu, Pentoo, Kali, Knoppix). Every distro would have some kind of conflict or missing libs or some other issue requiring hours of fixing config files or finding exactly the correct repo to install from so as not to break compatibility with something else. It just got exhausting, like having a second job just to maintain a functioning desktop that wasn’t full of obsolete or deprecated software. Mind you, I gave up back in 2015. I did wonder if I should have given LM 18 a try when it came out about a year later, but by then, I had largely just moved on from PCs as an interest altogether. I just didn’t have the budget to keep up with hardware, and my job as an over the road driver at a time lent itself to portable gaming and consoles. I couldn’t justify spending another 2 grand on another laptop that would be obsolete in two or three years.

So yes, it is my own experience with FOSS software, and lots and lots of it, and all of the headaches that went along with it. I absolutely adored Mint when it worked. It’s just too bad that that only lasted a couple years, at least for me.

RavenFellBlade,

“Wrote a wrapper”. Oh, is that all? It’s just that easy, huh?

Then why can none of these FOSS apps deliver the same experience, if Dawson is such an untalented hack?

You either have no clue of what you’re talking about, or you’re a troll. From my perspective, there is no substantive difference. If it’s such an easy shtick, the do it yourself, and do a better job. Put up, or shut up. Nobody asked for your respect, and I’m certain you know precisely where you can shove it.

RavenFellBlade,

Your comment misses the very important point that nobody who experienced this issue had the clairvoyance to screenshot their cleared profile on Day A to prove that their comments were restored on Day B, C, or D. You’re expecting someone to have explicitly predicted that exact circumstance and deliberately documented it before it ever happened to them. That’s like complaining to your neighbor they they can’t prove the scratch wasn’t already in their car door after they watch you hit it with your own.

RavenFellBlade,

Yes. I did. Please show me a reputable, peer-reviewed study showing any evidence of Ivermectin efficacy in treating viral infection. Just one. Go on, we’ll wait.

What I do know is that over the counter equine Ivermectin should never be consumed by humans, and that this spate of idiocy gave science way more data than they ever asked for on the deleterious effects of Ivermectin toxicity in humans, including blindness and death.

But go on, tell us all about how you’re the expert.

RavenFellBlade,

This is almost poetry. Love it!

RavenFellBlade,

Have you seen this boy?

Sweet Child O’Mine intensifies

RavenFellBlade,

So how does one pronounce the double t “tt”?

RavenFellBlade,

Awesome, thanks for that! So it does something akin to a doubled d in English.

RavenFellBlade,

Fuck! We’re all dead! Get the fuck out!

God, it’s been too long. Some of those were absolutely brilliant!

RavenFellBlade,

So many others! This particular one was just memed especially hard.

RavenFellBlade,

I used Linux Mint for several years on a dual-boot laptop. I rarely found myself booting Windows. While there was a learning curve, Mint was fairly accessible out of the box and was generally a delight to use. Until it wasn’t. At some point, the drivers for my video card updated, and just flat broke everything. And I can’t really use a computer on which I can’t see the desktop. I waited. And waited. A fix for the driver may have eventually come, but after awhile, booting into Windows just became my default, until eventually I just wiped the Linux partition to recover the storage space.

It was fun while it lasted, and I may choose one day to give it another go for the fourth time. This wasn’t the first time I’ve had something like this happen. First time was with Fedora, and the second was Ubuntu. Each time, I had the same “it worked until it didn’t” experience, and each time it stopped working was usually some kind of broken driver making my hardware incompatible.

RavenFellBlade,

Just deleted my Instagram account. I really want go delete Facebook and remove all things Meta from my life.

RavenFellBlade,

Here’s my example: I subscribed to Paramount Plus explicitly for Star Trek content. The week I subscribed, they pulled all of the non-Abrams films. So I got to watching other stuff. Eventually, they brought all of the films back. Cool, right?

So I finally get around to Prodigy, a show made for Paramount Plus. Two episodes in, and it vanishes. No announcements or warnings that that show was just going to disappear. It’s gone. Because “it wasn’t popular enough”. A show that only existed on that one platform was pulled off of that platform with absolutely no other legal way to view it. Content that I specifically signed up for that platform to see, and now I can’t… legally. Yo ho, yo ho, me hardies.

RavenFellBlade,

I’m so happy for you to find your true self! Be safe out there, and never forget to be kind to yourself.
