henfredemars,

It’s because we get so little for those taxes. If we actually had functional services, I would feel like it’s worth it.

henfredemars,

It’s like how they’ve installed that DeJoy person to dismantle the Postal Service from inside out and then complain that the Postal Service is having issues, so we should privatize donate the business to rich people so their disgusting amounts of wealth can trickle down on our faces or something.

henfredemars,

I don’t really care if someone has it worse. We should still strive to do better. I don’t think that’s relevant.

It would be nice to get something for that money. However little or however much it is. Functional services, a social safety net for example. I’d certainly be willing to pay more to have those services. A functioning healthcare system would be nice. I think you would get fewer complaints if the benefits were most obvious.

henfredemars,

Yeah, right Intel. You’ve been a willing participant in this practice since your TDPs have become an almost meaningless marketing term rather than a technical one. This confuses me because what did you expect motherboard manufacturers to do? If you have constraints, clearly communicate those requirements with your vendors. You built the switches, described the modes.

While the root cause has not yet been identified, Intel® has observed the majority of reports of this issue are from users with unlocked/overclock capable motherboards.

Oh please. Do better. Emphasis is mine.

henfredemars,

It was a very sad day for the rule of law in the United States, celebrated by those who wish to undermine our institutions.

henfredemars,

I don’t even view Steam as being particularly innovative. They just don’t suck. It does what it’s supposed to do.

henfredemars,

But if we don’t self-destruct, how do we create value for shareholders?

henfredemars,

If I like this, should it be an upvote or a downvote?

henfredemars,

Next you’ll tell me I’m not gonna need those cables. Or that weirdly shaped block of wood leftover from that door installation.

henfredemars,

I’d rather have the cluttered cable drawer than something far worse: the feeling of shame at paying money for something I discarded and could have already had for free.

henfredemars,

For better or worse the love of my life randomly discard items from these locations.

henfredemars,

Spent too much money on the official ones did you?

henfredemars,

I also have one. I imagine it could be rather painful to acquire today.

henfredemars,

The MS-DOS v1.25 and v2.0 files were originally shared at the Computer History Museum on March 25th, 2014 and are being (re)published in this repo to make them easier to find[.]

henfredemars,

He’s into it.

henfredemars,

I don’t want my car to be a political statement, thank you.

Box86/box64 is frickin dope rpi400 (sh.itjust.works)

I have been messing with my raspberry pi 400 and stumbled across box86. This program converts x86 calls to arm. And it works pretty well, i got the orginal pvz (disk verison) running through wine and box 86! The game is slow on cutscenes but gameplay is suprisingly playable and was more playable then my first pc lmao!...

henfredemars,

It is really awesome. Note however that there are some gaps, like if you want accurate floating point or full syscall coverage. I’ve hit issues in some scientific applications.

henfredemars,

I’m a little out of the loop, but I recall Audacity took a massive nose dive a while ago. Have they recovered from this?

In particular, the cloud features doesn’t pass the smell test for me. Is this one of those apps where you download the old version?

henfredemars,

Thanks for the tip! Will definitely consider this when I need to edit some audio.

henfredemars,

I saw a matrix posted recently showing each juror number and what new sources they primarily use. I’m too lazy to look it up, but I believe that is public information.

Perhaps another user who is less lazy can find it.

henfredemars,

@jeffw

Thank you for your great volume of high-quality posts.

henfredemars,

Shortage? No such thing as a labor shortage. Humans are not scarce.

Pay more, and workers will follow. If they do not follow, then it’s not worth it to them. Make it worthwhile.

Affordability? I guarantee if you pay enough they’ll be able to afford the profession!

Emergency rooms refused to treat pregnant women, leaving one to miscarry in a lobby restroom (apnews.com)

“One woman miscarried in the restroom lobby of a Texas emergency room as front desk staff refused to admit her. Another woman learned that her fetus had no heartbeat at a Florida hospital, the day after a security guard turned her away from the facility. And in North Carolina, a woman gave birth in a car after an emergency...

henfredemars,

Maternal care was already the most feeble of all the developed countries, and even what we had is being taken away.

henfredemars,

But, I love RCT2.

My wife uses it for the Sims!

henfredemars,

If you enjoy Settings, do I have some operating system suggestions for you!

henfredemars,

My roommate went on to work for environmental protection eventually reporting to the EPA. He left for a job with Michelin because he said it was really depressing playing Earth’s sin tax collector, putting a price on environmental damages that customers were more than happy to pay instead of actually fixing the issues.

henfredemars,

It tracks. I mean, it’s in the name. I thought that conservatives in general have fundamental disagreement with the concept of improving our lives.

It really seems like it anymore.

henfredemars,

Yes, please tax them! We can hardly get them to pay our own taxes here in the US.

henfredemars,

How much will it be doc? I have not the faintest idea. You’ll have to ask insurance. Insurance: What was your annual salary again?

henfredemars,

Precisely. There’s a big difference between learning something new and improving, and bad faith.

henfredemars,

It grew in the reverse time direction.

henfredemars,

I got it in exchange for a slice of pepperoni pizza because an old school friend wanted me to join him.

Wow, what a value.

henfredemars,

I main Mint. Less annoying Ubuntu. Better user experience IMHO.

henfredemars,

Why is this a shitpost? It’s sweet.

henfredemars,

Eat more beans.

henfredemars,

He could go

All The Way!

henfredemars,

I love Shrek

henfredemars,

🥲

henfredemars,

They don’t need to hide it and they aren’t interested in trying. Russia owned the presidency and currently owns a good chunk of our representatives, with a really good shot at owning the presidency once again. I’m not sure how you can get further compromised if you tried. Whatever their objectives, I don’t see how you couldn’t achieve them from this position.

henfredemars,

I’m not hanging out where unforeseen circumcisions are taking place.

henfredemars,

I wish I could do this. There are none left in my area and I’m not drilling and refining my own gas.

henfredemars,

Apple warns that developers are “responsible for all such software offered in your app, including ensuring that such software complies with these Guidelines and all applicable laws.” This raises the question of whether anyone can release a game emulator or only the companies that own the rights to the games distributed for it.

A good move, and great for distribution, but this does look like it’s difficult to publish an emulator unless you could control the games too. I don’t see this clearly permitting a general purpose emulator. It’s possible, but knowing Apple, I would expect that this could let Nintendo publish an emulator but not necessarily an open source project.

I’m glad to see it, but this to me feels more like testing the water then jumping into the deep end.

henfredemars,

The correct tip is zero dollars for the absolute bare minimum legally required service every landlord I’ve had provides.

And a good chunk of the time, even that’s too high.

henfredemars,

Really trying not to be that “use Linux” person, but it’s easy to underestimate the impact this has on user perception. It was communicated to me by these actions that this isn’t my computer. It kept pissing me off, so I went with something that respects me.

I think Microsoft is okay with that because their operating system isn’t a main profit center anymore. It’s cloud stuff.

henfredemars,

Same motivation here, but it took me until last year to make the switch. Pushing Office on me combined with all the good things I’ve been hearing about gaming on Linux was enough to push me over. I installed in dual boot, but I have never wanted to nor had the need to boot into my Windows install in at least three months.

henfredemars,

In my case, many of my games are purchased through Steam, which automatically handles Linux compatibility for most games. The product page of the game lists the compatible operating systems as SteamOS, Linux, or SteamPlay. You can also set up proton directly for other games, which is a fork of Wine that has really good gaming support these days.

I wouldn’t call it a completely solved problem. It’s always possible to find games that just won’t work, but most of them do. Even most DRM works. If the DB covers the games you care about then you’re golden.

henfredemars,

This isn’t the first time I’ve heard a similar story. Windows is often not a good neighbor in multi boot configurations.

henfredemars,

It’s not even good for non technical users. Microsoft takes admin responsibility, but then they manage it poorly by applying updates that haven’t been properly tested and using your system as the guinea pig.

I’ve seen this happen to family. Forced update comes in, breaks system.
