God damn, where are you like Alberta?

You don’t know where the dog lives. Maybe they’re in Japan, which would have been Thursday there when this was posted.

Easy anti-cheat stays on. Several other games have implemented it on Linux without problems. Easy anti-cheat made it as easy as the developer (Epic Games) checking a box to allow it to run on Linux. That’s what the person you’re responding to is referring to. It’s a recent development that happened earlier this year.

cobra89,

Are you aware that Fortnite uses EasyAntiCheat which is already working on Linux with plenty of other games? It’s literally as simple as Epic Games allowing it. And yes the anticheat still works, so no it’s not about preventing cheaters. Read the news from earlier this year about EAC enabling it on Linux and how a whole host of games have already done so.

cobra89,

This will literally never happen because economies need babies and population numbers to sustain themselves. It’s why countries like Japan and to some extent the US are freaking out about declining populations.

While I agree the problem as written is ambiguous and should be written with explicit operators, I have 1 argument to make. In pretty much every other field if we have a question the answer pretty much always ends up being something along the lines of “well the experts do this” or “this professor at this prestigious university says this”, or “the scientific community says”. The fact that this article even states that academic circles and “scientific” calculators use strong juxtaposition, while basic education and basic calculators use weak juxtaposition is interesting. Why do we treat math differently than pretty much every other field? Shouldn’t strong juxtaposition be the precedent and the norm then just how the scientific community sets precedents for literally every other field? We should start saying weak juxtaposition is wrong and just settle on one.

This has been my devil’s advocate argument.

To all the people who want to vote third party or withhold their vote, please tell me, when had that ever effected change?

This idea that if you hold your vote or vote 3rd party you’re gonna teach the establishment a lesson is laughable. No, the system will go on without you and you’ll just have even less of a voice/decision in the direction of our country.

There is a reason certain people work so hard to tell you your vote doesn’t matter. You’re all falling for it.

Edit: If you don’t like the candidates you have to choose from then go out and vote in the primaries because there’s about a 90% chance you’re not doing that.

Can’t imagine there’s too many maintenance costs besides brakes and suspension and suspension is more like a 8-10 year cost. And brakes are relatively cheap.

No oil changes, no transmission fluid changes, no fluids in the car except for hydraulic fluid for the brakes, and windshield wiper fluid.

Edit: I am curious to see how durable that cover for the tailgate is though.

cobra89,

Great Scott!

cobra89,

I just do the opposite and start wronging a comment.

cobra89,

Lol yeah, as a guy I am so happy I wasn’t judged by the size of visible appendages on my chest. The occasional boner is whatever, tuck and go on with your day.

Also bleeding from your crotch and possibly showing blood stains? Let’s not pretend like girls don’t have it way worse. Cramps, worried about getting pregnant, etc. etc.

cobra89,

Every time you’re excluding something you’re excluding updating a package, while updating all the others. Then if the new packages depend on the newer version of the package you didn’t upgrade by excluding it, things break. That’s what’s happened here. Every time you use exclude to upgrade something you’re essentially breaking your system worse. That’s what the other person means by “partial upgrading”

And now that message says it’s going to completely remove your desktop environment so you’re gonna have no desktop, just a cli shell.

At this point the easiest thing would probably be to back up your home directory and whatever else you want to keep and just reinstall the system. Any other process to try and fix it is going to require more trouble and time than it would take to just reinstall unfortunately. There may not even be a way to successfully unbreak your system.

Hoboken, NJ reduces annual traffic deaths to zero (www.bloomberg.com)

The mayor of Hoboken, NJ came in with a vision of reducing traffic deaths to pedestrians and cyclists. He instituted several strategies of traffic calming, increasing pedestrian visibility, reducing city wide street speeds to 20 mph with schools and parks down to 15 mph. Within a few years of road improvements and redesigns...

cobra89,

He still added bike lanes that weren’t there before no? How is that harming personal non-car transit? Maybe go to city council meetings and ask that double parking in bike lanes be enforced. I would certainly think the city wants to make money from fines.

Also how many people are riding around on rollerblades? The “hexagonal bullshit” makes the bike lanes distinct and noticeable increasing awareness and also gives tactile feedback if a driver starts driving on the bike lane. Yeah it sucks for skateboarders but the tradeoffs are worth it, especially because again, how many skateboarders are there really? Some municipalities don’t even allow skateboards in bike lanes because the drastic speed difference between them and bikes tends to cause issues.

Could the bike lanes be better? Absolutely, they could be actually protected bike lanes like you pointed out but don’t let perfect be the enemy of good, they don’t “suck”. And 0 pedestrian deaths over the span of a few years is very very good.

Nero’s Soundtrax application, bundled in the Nero Multimedia Suite, is capable of encoding and decoding this format into several others.

It’s available for free now: nero-soundtrax.en.softonic.com

If you’re willing to run a windows VM you could probably convert them back to normal MP3s.

Ah yes the good ol’ LPT ports. Back in the days of pin printers and them catching on fire. Good times.

cobra89,

The only caveat I’ll add is that because of the way package managers work in Linux, it’s much less likely someone will be running something from an untrusted source. It’s less true these days with snap and flatpak but those are at least sandboxed.

It’s not that common these days for Linux users to be downloading random binaries and running them.

cobra89,

Lol you are the only person with a brain in this thread. This entire service they’re advertising sounds like a scam.

People really think these apps are bypassing the Android OS protections that show the microphone icon when the mic is listening?

And what apps are widespread enough that it can capture a wide enough range of people to target the things their customers would want while also not getting discovered or someone working for the app disclosing it?

None of this passes the sniff test.

Or just buy a cheap laser printer, probably a brother, that doesn’t have any of that bullshit.

Also AFAIK this is some HP program where you sign up for it as a service and they send you ink cartridges. It’s as dystopian as you’d expect:

Sign up & pick a plan. Choose a plan based on how often you print, not how much ink you use. Plans start as low as $0.99/month. Every page costs the same, so you can print high resolution photos for the same price as black and color documents.

Your printer detects when you’re low on ink or toner and automatically ships more when you need it.

Change or cancel your plan anytime with unused pages rolling over each month and extra pages cost just $1.

Ohio Republicans Say It’s Their ‘God Given Right’ to Restrict Abortion Access (web.archive.org)

Ohio Republicans are claiming a constitutional amendment protecting abortion rights, which was approved by voters in Tuesday’s election, doesn’t actually do that — and they’re promising to take steps to prevent the legal protection of reproductive freedom in the state....

cobra89,

Isn’t this the same exact shit they did with the marijuana referendum a couple years ago? These people need to be barred from ever holding public office for failing to uphold their duty to serve.

Instead of indiscriminately bombing thousands of people, maybe send in troops to clear out the areas they’re concerned about?

I dunno why this is some crazy unthought of idea?

Can’t steal something you don’t own. And people should never forget you don’t own anything on these platforms.

cobra89,

The censured her:

The Doug Ford government has put forward a motion that would censure an Ontario NDP MPP over her comments on the Israel-Gaza war and ask they not be recognized in the legislature until a formal apology is made and a statement on social media is deleted.

The motion calls comments made by Hamilton Centre MPP Sarah Jama last week “antisemitic” and “discriminatory.” If passed, it would call on the Speaker not to recognize Jama in the House “until the Member retracts and deletes her statement on social media and makes an apology in her place in the House.”

So they’re trying to completely take away her ability to govern because of her speech. So yes, the government is trying to silence her.

cobra89,

There’s a difference between 1 or 2 cases of precedent and hundreds or thousands of cases.

The days of everything having a 30 pin adapter. What a wild time.

A Russia apologist, Surprise Surprise. I’m shocked, shocked I tell you…

It’s amazing, and there’s a reason Firefox has had it as the default for years.

Holy shit, how is this being left up to an apology and possibly a voucher??

The US government should be suing the fuck out of Air Canada under the ADA…

Thanks to dust I deleted a 70 gig file on my drive

Dust is a rewrite of du (in rust obviously) that visualizes your directory tree and what percentage each file takes up. But it only prints as many files fit in your terminal height, so you see only the largest files. It’s been a better experience that du, which isn’t always easy to navigate to find big files (or atleast...

cobra89,

Seems it just runs Salt/Saltstack?

cobra89,

Oh that’s pretty nifty, thanks for the comment. Sorry wasn’t trying to minimize the tool, I was simply referring to the orchestration/config management aspect of it when I looked it up real quick.

I used to be responsible for configurations of 40,000 (yes forty thousand) VMs for a large company using puppet and then later using Ansible and that was an interesting challenge. I’ve been out of the configuration management game for a few years now though so I’m pretty out of the loop. Was familiar with spacewalk back in the day too.

I’ll have to check Uyuni out, thanks for sharing!

cobra89,

There are apps which offer user specific filters. I highly suggest switching to one. It’s made my lemmy experience much better.

cobra89,

Corporations already do hold onto buildings without using them. Because typically real estate goes up in value, especially when there’s scarcity, which there will be if corporations are holding property. This isn’t the solution you think it is.

Yayyyyyy Jeremy’s dead!!! krusty the clown laugh

cobra89,

Unlike the rest of our legal system that presumes innocence by default, IP law does the opposite.

The criminal legal system is built on the presumption of innocence. The civil legal system, which the DMCA falls under, certainly does not put presumption of innocence first in MANY circumstances.

The Radeon RX 6600 is not even 3 years old, not to mention it was impossible to get any GPUs during that time so it might as well be only 2 years old.

And yeah the 2060 will be 5 years old in January but if we look at something like Steam’s hardware survey, it took until this month for the 3060 to become the “top dog” on the steam survey. Which is still only 6% of people, prior to that it was the GTX 1650.

cobra89,

Oh also, the GTX 1650 launched at $149.

The 3060 launched at $329

So essentially in 4 years the cost of a base GPU more than doubled.

cobra89,

Spot on. Bernie has been called an anti-Semite before, he will probably be called one again for this and I’m sure it won’t be the last time he is called one.

cobra89, (edited )

Either that or they end up doing a bunch of coke at 3am.

Despite those deniers that still blame housecats

Both things can be true. They aren’t mutually exclusive.

Also we have less pollution and pesticide use than we did in the 60s and 70s. Why is it just becoming a problem now?
