Also, bring back gauges, instead of idiot-lights. It’s nice to know when a problem is beginning (overheating, etc) before it becomes a crisis when you have no choice but to pull over.

For the 1000th time Tesla: don’t call it “autopilot” when it’s nothing more than a cruise control that needs constant attention.

Whales are the idiots who keep the Madden games alive.

Companies are stealing your computer’s resources (hard disk space, CPU time) to build their own Skynet and charging you for the privilege.

So is Donald Trump “presidential” yet? Trump will never get a bigger or better venue than Madison Square Garden between now and the election and THIS is the stupid shit he is going with.

I’m glad I keep backup copies of anything that might be important later on, like the 40 gig MAME Rom library.

If you’re using Steam, they use a native Linux client and a custom Proton that has all the settings and presets for their game library.

Everything I bought on Steam works for me under Linux Mint. And almost all my older games, like “Deus Ex” or “Giants: Citizen Kabuto” I can run directly under Wine with the default settings.

Well, you should care about it because that’s how online communities get ruined. Case in point: Twitter has become a propaganda tool for an apartheid-loving fascist since he bought it.

A distributed service is much less vulnerable to being bought up by a single narcissistic billionaire who can ruin the online experience of millions of people at once.

A distributed service like Lemmy is spread out over 600 Instances in countries all over the world. If someone buys the most popular Lemmy Instance and wrecks it, those users can simply move to the same communities on the second or third or fourth most popular Instance and the original Instance will wither and die. This also works for communities with power tripping moderators. You can quickly find out through a search which community is the “real” one by the number of subscribers it has.

At this rate, we’re going to have our first trillionaire by the end of the decade. How much is enough? How big does that pile of money need to be?

That’s life in Goober Nation.

Businesses that knowingly buy fake reviews, procure them from company insiders or disseminate fake reviews will be penalized

Penalized how much? How big are the fines?

Another vote for Linux Mint. I finally switched from Windows 10 months ago and I love it.

I’m really enjoying the learning curve with Linux because I’m not always fighting the operating system. On the other hand, every time I’ve had to go “under the hood” with Windows (edit the Registry, change config files) it’s been to stop Microsoft from doing something sh*tty to me.

And never, EVER disable JavaScript on that website and reload the page! Not even if your Ad blocker lets you selectively do it.

Gay Lead!

Because that’s what it means to be a MAN! Bolting fake testicles onto your truck.

Bunch of striving, alpha-male wannabe, Oakley-wearing Thumb heads.

I’ve played the original “Deus Ex” for years and I’m still discovering new things about it. I don’t even have to worry about Windows anymore. I can play it with Wine on Linux.

The power required for this level of AI won’t be used for faster delivery of pizzas. It will be used for surveillance and control. For world domination shit.

TikTok also wants to turn millions of teenagers into “pranksters” who are just begging for a beating.

Also keep in mind that the astronauts communicated with Earth by radio. Anyone with even 1920s radio technology would have figured out that the astronauts weren’t broadcasting from the Moon.

We were in the middle of a cold war with the soviets back in the 1960s. Proving the moon landing was fake would have been the propaganda coup of the century for them. What possible reason would they have to stay quiet about that?
