let's keep workshopping that, but yes they are authoritarian assholes and they need to go down.

I feel like I remember seeing something like this get posted and celebrated in this or some other techie community, and I'm interested in screwing around with other OSes but I can't remember which one it might be. What's your favorite 90s-flavored Linux desktop environment / distribution?

there's video, no one was doing anything to him. he got out of his SUV, started yelling at people, returned to the vehicle, got back out with the weapon at his side. self defense would have been (a) for literally anyone to have threatened him and (b) for him to simply leave the scene.

This has been making the rounds on line, but it turns out that this business merely grows cannabis at a former prison that's been repurposed; it's not being grown by the inmates.

This fucking article goes on 3 more paragraphs after that about how great the current offerings from Tesla are. Feels like the whole thing is just a Cybertruck sales puff piece in disguise.

It's horrifying to me that any of these fucking games are running outside userspace. Is anti cheat the only reason why that is necessary? Why is it necessary for anti cheat?

And yet with Firefox+ublock it is still 10000000 times better than its competitors.

You don't own your Kindle books because you bought them from Amazon

I don't own mine because I pirated them

We are not the same

edit: I actually try to circle back around and buy physical copies of any book I really enjoy. But I'm much better about paying for video games, tabletop games, and even journalism than I am fiction... I think my bezos resentment gets in the way a bit there.

The submission title of "earning trust" is fucking hilarious but it speaks to your question. Trump has appeared before an audience of Bitcoin enthusiasts in recent days. He's apparently open to reaching out to crowds that aren't his core MAGA audience at this particular moment.

Knowing as we do now that this event went to shit for him, it's easy to look back and say it wasn't strategic for him to do it, but for the campaign manager planning the event, it was probably an easier call than letting him debate Joe Biden was, and he [will be perceived as having] "nailed that," right?

I assume OP just did their best to make up an example. She doesn't say anywhere that she is a superfan herself or even has read the books at all.

The guy who discovered the xz attack was also a Microsoft employee, for what it's worth.
