It still does despite what Trump and his gestapo claim. They are illegally deporting U.S. citizens. If we ever manage to dislodge these parasites the ones responsible better face jail time for these crimes, because “I was just following orders” isn’t a valid defense for breaking the law nevermind the constitution.

This idea keeps coming up and while it sounds great it has the slight problem that states don’t pay taxes, people do. Basically your suggestion is then that people living in blue states should stop paying their taxes. Now, the majority of those taxes are collected for them by the companies they work for. You can reduce (maybe eliminate I’m not actually sure if you can opt into 0% withholding) how much is collected by your employer by filing out a new W-4 form, if they let you. But even setting that aside there’s the problem that none of that will matter in the slightest when the IRS comes for you with an arrest warrant for unpaid taxes. Or they might just start garnishing your wages, I’m honestly not 100% sure how that would play out. I just know that number 1 rule is you don’t fuck with the IRS.

That would be incredibly unlikely. As a general rule the US military does not use foreign made gear, particularly anything from China. More likely it’s human error, someone fucked up the maintenance.

Ruby is a terrible language. It combines all the worst parts of Perl and Python. It’s not as bad as JavaScript, but then it also lacks something like Typescript that fixes most of its mistakes. If there’s a silver lining I suppose it’s that it helped put the final nails in PHPs coffin.

The minute I found out this was created by DHH and came preloaded with a ChatGPT link I knew it would be hot garbage. Give me an opinionated distro from someone who has a clue like John Carmack and I’ll be interested, not the madman who dreamed up Ruby on Rails (or really anything by anyone connected in any way to a train wreck like Ruby). It doesn’t surprise me in the least to find out Omarchy is a pile of fragile kludges and poorly thought out decisions.

It’s very popular to the point where multiple other distros are starting to offer its patched kernel on their distro. It’s very focused on gaming performance, particularly around Steam and Proton.

Yeah that should be completely fine then. Try dual boot, if you don’t have any issues you can always go 100% Linux at some point in the future and in the meantime the old Windows partition can provide some amount of reassurance if something does go wrong.

Is it a newer Nvidia GPU? If so I believe it pretty much works the same these days. It was mostly the older Nvidia GPUs that seemed to have a lot of problems.

So the standard setup these days. The regulation won’t be used to actually regulate the industry but instead will be used to set up a series of roadblocks that protect the major incumbent players from any smaller competition.

Cachyos seems like the general recommendation. Haven’t used it myself, but I’ve used its kernel so I guess that counts for something.

They don’t even know how to use a gamepad nevermind a keyboard and mouse. If it doesn’t have a touchscreen and big shiny icons it’s too complicated for them. One step closer to Idiocracy.

I wonder if this is a single cell bacteria in the process of becoming a virus? This could be an important evolutionary link to how viruses come about.

So I looked it up and title 10 is all the rules that govern the US armed forces. The president of the United States can trivially be shown to not have plenary authority by the simple fact that the constitution exists. That is in fact the entire point of the constitution, it ensures nobody in the United States has plenary authority. Even title 10 disproves that as it sets out the rules that US armed forces must operate under.

Seems like a lot of the early LTT crew were chaffing a bit under the LTT contract for a variety of reasons and opted to leave and start their own channels. I hope most of them succeed because honestly I always liked the other hosts on LTT far more than Linus who usually came off as more comic relief than actual tech news. As the old technical crew left I’ve found myself watching Linus Drop Tips very rarely.

Should start a crowd funding campaign to make an even bigger version out of something hard to damage like steel. Make it a regularly scheduled display throughout his entire term.

It seems like both of them are dancing around talking about the actual issue. Reading between the lines, the Steering Committee is claiming moderators aren’t moderating based on the code of conduct but based on personal beefs they have. The Moderation Team is claiming that the Steering Committee is being political and trying to enforce moderation rules that didn’t exist and targeting specific community members. Weirdly they’re both kind of claiming the same thing but blaming each other, namely that moderation is happening that isn’t following the standards.

I’d like to know what exactly set this all off. They obviously have some specific events they’re thinking of, but are refusing to say what those are. Who got banned or yelled at that started this whole thing and why?

It’s because TV speakers are crap and audio mixing is worse. You can’t hear shit. I’ve got good headphones and I’ll watch something on my computer and it’s perfectly understandable. Then I’ll watch the same exact thing on my TV and it’s a garbled mess with the dialog drowned out by ambient noise, explosions, and the music score. No amount of playing with the audio mix seems to fix it. So yeah, subtitles it is.

They have not even begun to dark pattern. Be prepared for free mobile game levels of bullshit in $80 “premium” releases. “Micro” transactions on literally everything. Ads crammed into every available inch of screen realestate including unskippable ads that have to be watched in order to use certain game features. Egregious time gates that you have to pay to skip. Multi-layered battle passes and season passes. Limited time bundles and skins. Lootboxes. Rigged match making that makes sure to pair under geared free players with a player who recently purchased a bunch of OP equipment (in order to allow them to easily stomp a bunch of people with their shiny new gear). Pre-release exclusive items that are locked behind a confusing array of premium editions that only the most expensive $200+ bundle will include everything. Massive chunks of what should be basic functionality sliced off and put into day 1 “DLC”. Intrusive kernel level anti-cheat that somehow doesn’t actually stop cheaters but does conveniently conflict with their competitors games. And the cherry on top, everything is a live service game where anything that under performs their arbitrary sales metrics gets axed in under a year, and even the successful games get shut down after a couple years so they can launch essentially the same game again as a sequel.

And all of this will of course be vibe coded and use AI art assets so it will crash constantly and when it actually does run it will stutter and lag on anything less than Nvidias latest $4000 GPU even with DLSS on and cranked to the maximum.

Fully expecting chip makers to just manufacture a bunch of cheap garbage here that eventually ends up in a landfill in order to avoid the tariffs on their expensive chips. With a 100% tariff and prices per-chip in the $300+ range if they can make a chip for less than $300 even if they immediately chuck it in the garbage they’re saving money. Imagine a whole tray of cheap 500nm chips that are full of defects because they were made with wafers that failed QA. They manufacture them, document that they exist, dump them in a bin in a warehouse, then just throw the bin away in a year as unsold inventory and write it off as a business loss.

It’s a problem anywhere Rupert Murdoch runs a media company, so the UK also. There’s even a very small minority of Canada that’s suffering from the same delusion. Propaganda is a hell of a drug.
