Yeah, people love to complain about authoritarianism. Then those same people cheer murder of political rivals…

It’s not a road we should go down, and certainly not one we should cheer on.

If you mean carbon dioxide, then I hate to tell you, but you make that as well. You existing isn’t vegan.

• Coal is made from plants.

• Oil is made from plankton and algae.

• Natural gas is made from microorganisms.

I believe all three have a small chance of also being made from an animal. But I wasn’t able to verify that part.

What’s the context here?

“no one should be living there” in reference to the LEGAL DOMICILE, the home itself.

Nowhere in the article does it imply there is nobody living in the three story housing complex. The article and everyone is rightfully talking about the crawlspace, a space nobody should be living.

The fuck? It’s a crawlspace. You can’t legally rent that out anywhere.

Nope, you don’t get to live in my house without my permission. You are free to invite strangers to live in your house, I’ll even cheer you on.

But not native support.

Yes with native support. By default too.

jump through extra hoops to play on your steam deck

The Heroic launcher works great on Linux, and to my knowledge the Steam Deck. Let’s you easily play your GOG, Epic, and Prime games.

Yep, gotta love DRM Free!

External recruiters often get paid more after you have been with a company for a year. Furthermore, both you and the employer have to accept the other (do remember, particularly after entry level, interviews go both ways).

They are fairly motivated to get you where you need to be.

This was another month where when Linux use recedes, it’s often correlated to increase in Chinese growth on Steam. Simplified Chinese rose by 0.59% for August to 26.03% while English language use fell by 2% down to 35.62%.

It’s interesting that China’s adoption of Linux is effectively 0%, skewing the overall stats, particularly when there is a surge in Chinese adoption of Steam, which can single-handedly push the numbers around.

A few recommendations with that in mind (Boy does that one restriction really just nuke the list! Common Japan!):

1. Spice and Wolf (2008 series, I have no clue if the 2024 series is good)

2. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

3. Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End

4. Gate: And Thus the JSDF Fought There

5. Crest of the Stars

(Roughly in that order, too)

4 seconds into first anime, high pitched squeal coming from female lead

10 minutes in, realize the main character is 15, girl phobic, and being put in charge of serious military equipment nobody has the right to touch until they undergo a year of training and are willing to follow orders; starts wondering if the person giving the child multi-billion dollar military equipment is more incompetent than the main character…it’s really a close call

15 minutes in, bitches like the child they are for the rest of the episode

episode ends

I love anime, but boy are some of the tropes really annoying and is a massive part of why so many people just turn it off shortly after it starts.

I hope to god they aren’t x-raying people every day.

But, I had a chuckle that my last job had a no weapons policy…but no way to enforce it. A few of my coworkers knew I carried on a regular basis. :)

I use it for playing DCS which is a multiplayer air combat simulator. Lots of aircraft are available and they have a decent range of fidelity. The FC3 craft are simplified a bit and the full fidelity aircraft have every control in the aircraft functional and accurate to real life.

Very easy to put a bunch of time into it, especially if you have some friends who are interested too.

If you want a joystick suggestion, the Logitech 3D Pro is a great starter stick at $35 and is quite sturdy. Everyone I know started with that one as it’s just a solid all-round stick. Also great for space sim games like Elite Dangerous.

Edit: DCS’s 2024 video showcases it nicely.

Edit 2: If you plan on playing DCS, checkout Proton DB, it requires a few settings to be changed to launch. But, been running it for the last year in Mint. :)

I’m open to wired and wireless I just don’t want to end up with some cheap piece of shit that makes playing not fun.

I have found the $20 offbrand Xbox USB controllers to be perfectly cromulent. And I say that as someone who owns a $350 HOTAS setup.

(he ad pivoted to the NATO encroachment defense of the war) and I said even if there was a valid contract

Two things about this ‘NATO encroachment’ angle people like to bring up:

1. There was never an agreement that NATO cannot accept new members. Even Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union, the person whom the agreement would have been made with, calls such a claim a myth.

2. One has to ask why countries want to join NATO. It is something they have to apply for, something they have to work for. Why do they want this security guarantee? Who are they afraid of?

It’s Russia. It’s Russia invading everyone around them that has pushed countries to join NATO. Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine have all been occupied by Russia. Is it a wonder why former Soviet states like Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania so badly want protection from Russian invasion? Is it a wonder why NATO accepted two new members, Sweden and Finland, after the second Russian invasion of Ukraine?

No problem, man! The annoying thing about disinformation is it spreads so easily. While attempting to tease out truth can take much, much more effort.

The biggest thing is teaching people how to be critical of what they hear and seek verification when something seems off. Problem is, once you get too far in, the truth is what seems off and it can take quite awhile to dig yourself back out, assuming you are even willing to try, which most aren’t.
