it’s not that they’re ignoring it; is that the legistlation doesn’t address buying it from non-government agencies and probably on purpose.

our billionaires are also funding the protests again them; one of the walmart heirs is entire responsible for the noking protests.

that’s fair. lol

I’m surprised that they kept the “Steam Machine” name. I thought they would choose a different name to avoid any negative connotations. It is a very cool name though.

what negative connotations exsit for “steam machine”

the europeans on lemmy continue to insist that americans are ahead of the fascism game; but we still don’t have chat control and have only elected one fascist so far. lol

now that i think of it, i’m technically one of them since i still play age of empires 2

that looks more like journalctl -r lol

what does logrotate look like? lol

aka hide your fortune from taxes in a charity bill

it makes you wonder why valve is pursuing it; are there enough people still playing these old games to justify a profit from the endeavor?

and it’s written in bash. lol

my last linux rig died and i had to buy a new one and system76 price tag made me go with ordinary windows laptop and putting linux on it.

i’m currently getting reminded of how much headache buying a from a linux-first company alleviates too; it’s taken me over a week to setup an encrypted installation to dual boot with windows. lol

the american diet goes beyond food to include psychological triggers as well as including foods that have been proven to be addicting to some of us. so yes, i’ve changed it several times in the last 30 years; but that addiction keeps making me “fall off the wagon” every time i face diet influencing psychological triggers like layoffs, evictions, deportation, etc.

part of me envys you; my own middle aged body reminds me everyday that i’m middle aged and i curse the american diet & activity levels for it.

I haven’t used Windows in so long that I’m genuinely excited at the prospect at getting a new computer w Windows on it. Lol

Also, I’ve been buying Linux hardware so long that I was surprised how much bang you can get for your buck nowadays.

… That’s assuming that you don’t calculate in how much all the ads and mandated spyware will cost your sanity and future. Lol

there was a mural of this nearby where i lived in austin, but i could never find out who did it because my google searches just showed seemingly random results when i searched for “hi, how are you”

adding in “daniel johnston” into the search terms has finally made me aware of it’s background and the wikipedia article about it is bizarre considering that i first became of aware of it when i witnessed the austin police beat up and harass homeless and clearly mentally unwell people nearby an advertisement version saying “thai how are you” and the wiki article says this:

In 2018, the Mayor of Austin, Texas, declared January 22 (Johnston’s birthday) to be “Hi, How Are You Day”, a day dedicated to mental health awareness funded by the non-profit organisation of the same name.

now knowing that it gained widespread popularity due to kurt cobain makes it feel like a formerly niche cultural reference has been co-opted by the mainstream and now its original intention is so far gone that it has become an advertisement vehicle where basic civil rights can be seen abused by an authority that pretended to embraced it less than a decade ago.

something like this happened to be too circa 2005 and it made me switch to debian; which stayed rocked solid until 2016 when the motherboard died.

what’s ESO?

google suggests it’s elder scrolls online, but i’ve never heard this before

i used to answer honestly like because this and i never understood; and still don’t (i’m on the spectrum); why some people got angry/frustrated and it almost always eventually germinated into a full blown fire-this-asshole-already movement in the places i worked at until my therapist made me aware that people don’t really expect a true answer and will only accept certain responses.

i call it the social handshake now and i allot an extra 10 minutes every single time i schedule a work meeting an wait to hear certain key words/phrases before continuing on for the actual reason why i scheduled the meeting. lol

when i delete a post or comment, it’s usually because i realized that i responded to the wrong comment or that i posted in the wrong community; will it still show in such circumstances?
