23·8 days agoUnfortunate headline. It seems to imply that Sanders would fund ICE if Noem and Miller were gone, but as we can see by reading the article, that alone would not be enough.
I’m glad Sanders is no pushover.
2·10 days agoIn that example, Epic is the storefront and Rockstar is the publisher. It’s exactly what I described.
Maddening, isn’t it?
No mention of Cantata, nor acknowledgement of Amarok’s recent revival. Whatever the reason might be for those omissions, this article doesn’t do a very good job of representing the state of linux music players.
I don’t. Launching things is my desktop environment’s job.
Since the rise of game publishers’ launchers, I have to use my (desktop) launcher to launch a (storefront’s) launcher to launch a (publisher’s) launcher to launch the game. It’s probably the best example of the yo dawg meme I have ever seen. In other words, ridiculously annoying, not to mention wasteful of my time and system resources.
Your main link leads to an article titled, “Live: JD Vance defends ICE operations in Minnesota visit as state officials decry ‘misinformation’”
It doesn’t match the article you archived, either.
This seems like a good time to remind those soldiers of their sworn oath to uphold the Constitution, not a criminal dictator, and let them know that they can get help
1·28 days agoMore accurately, the headline confuses respirators with valveless FFP2/N95 masks, which are adequate.
Appalling? Yes. Shocking? Not to anyone who has been paying attention.
“Before I knew it, I saw ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic, and so I approached her, and we were at that point chanting, ‘We are not afraid, we are not afraid.’”
Callaghan then said he told ICE officers to take him instead of harassing her. An agent then “came, got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, ‘Are you afraid now?’” Callaghan recalled.
After he said he still wasn’t afraid, the officer handcuffed him before putting him into the back of an SUV. “They came back three times and they asked me if I was afraid yet, to which I replied, ‘Hell no, I’m not afraid of you, and I’m never going to be afraid of you.’”
Callaghan said that he asked if he was under arrest after officers asked for him to hand over his identification and his cellphone.
“And then they said to me, ‘Well, you’re white, you won’t be any fun anyway. You can get out of the car.’”
in my car I’m searching through the one screen, not hunting through a field of obscure symbols with no standardisation on where anything is, and all those little lights.
That seems odd to me. I think most of us learn where the physical controls are, and then operate them by touch while driving.
We don’t take our eyes off the road to read the brake pedal or gear shifter, either. ;)
3·1 month agoYou haven’t said what model it is, but if it’s a model 2B, it can be a pretty good 1080p media player with LibreELEC 9.2. A newer model might do well with the current LibreELEC version.
you had no objectives.
So you could just stay on your ship forever.
Are you sure you haven’t inverted the cause/effect relationship here? ;)
Just think how much culture could be enriched (through derivative works) if US copyright was rolled back to its original term: 14 years with an option to renew it once for 14 more.
I wish the filters and most housings weren’t made of plastic.
…but they are known for being privileged and insulated.
It’s wild how far off the rails a person’s thinking can go through a lifetime of privilege and societal insulation.
2·1 month agoThis equation might change a bit as more software users learn how bloated apps affect their hardware upgrade frequency & costs over time. The RAM drought brings new incentive to teach and act on that knowledge.
Management might be a bit easier to convince when made to realize that efficiency translates to more customers, while bloat translates to fewer. In some cases, developing a native app might even mean gaining traction in a new market.

many chat applications written in Electron, none of which are interoperable.
This is one of my pet peeves, and a noteworthy example because chat applications tend to be left running all day long in order to notify of new messages, reducing a system’s available RAM at all times. Bloated ones end up pushing users into upgrading their hardware sooner than should be needed, which is expensive, wasteful, and harmful to the environment.
Open chat services that support third party clients have an advantage here, since someone can develop a lightweight one, or even a featherweight message notifier (so that no full-featured client has to run all day long).
