Lots of modern indie or AA games are cheap and really, really good.

Didn’t know poppy was still around.

She’s actually growing in popularity, opening for and collaborating with major bands. She’s booked on a lot of metal festivals as well.

Glad I canceled my subscription then.

My friend is pretty smart and he left France to work in the US a while ago. He’s pretty pissed at the election though, and afraid especially since his wife is black. He’s seriously considering moving back to France.

You should get all the stats you need in the upcoming years. Not sure it will make a difference though.

It’s a huge ball they put up in Las Vegas because why the fuck not I guess? It seems to be a huge screen because it was a US flag in the other picture I’ve seen.

Nick Fuentes, for one. He seems pretty proud of it judging by his Twitter.

I went through all of these, and honestly plugging in a single cable into your laptop and having power, external display, network and input peripherals all connect instantly is pretty damn cool.

Yeah but they weren’t one of the main driving forces behind a major political party at the time.

(If you haven’t seen Severance yet, get on your big screen and watch it now, you won’t regret it)

I understand why [you] think too many people have died.

Like it’s a fucking matter of opinion… “Some may think there are too many dead babies, but hey, some feel that there are not enough! So really we should meet in the middle and decide on an acceptable number of dead babies which satisfies both parties.”

Yeah, and that’s sad and dumb as fuck.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure 15 minutes after this post OP was crawling barefoot in HVAC ducts.

It was like 20 years ago, but their sidewinder brand was pretty great, as was the intellimouse.

Sure, but in every picture? Including some where he’s supposed to actually have fun?

One thing about him I saw in a Lemmy comment a couple months back, is that in every picture of him smiling, if you hide his mouth you’re left with his lifeless eyes, it’s like he was told how you’re supposed to smile when you’re cheerful so he goes through the motions but he’s not entirely sure what the point is. It works with all the pictures of him I came across since then, including the thumbnail of this post.

No, a bêtise is when a kid spills her milk or breaks a toy.

In this context I think they use the word as an euphemism for cheating on your spouse, as that’s the defense of most of the accused: they thought it was a kink and that Gisèle Pelicot had given her consent.

The point is also to minimize potential damages caused by a bug in the software. Just this year there have been multiple data-destroying bugs in publicly released software. If the app runs as a server it’s usually trivial to have it run as a dedicated user, with just enough permissions to do its job.

It’s just good practice, even though the risks might be low why risk it at all?

I used Ubuntu at work a couple of years ago. When they announced the switch to snaps I didn’t really care, but when they switched Firefox to the snap version it had quite a few issues like really slow startup, inconsistent theming, and problems with some extensions. So I uninstalled the snap, installed the standard DEB and went on with my work.

But then the issues came back, and it took me some time to figure out they had replaced the actual DEB package with an unholy shim which just installed the snap. THAT really pissed me off, so when I got a new laptop I just installed Arch and my only regret was not doing it sooner.

For a couple of people I know, the answer would be: “This is obviously terrible, yes, but we need to preserve our traditional values at all costs, otherwise Muslim immigrants will replace us”.
