Every operating system should come with a built in noise gate.

Valve just absolutely killed it with the Deck, and this seems like a great way to jump in for people who want to save a bit of cash.

These obese inbred fuck nuts can spend whatever they want on guns, bows, samurai swords, nunchuks, DIY flame throwers, or whatever else. They've already proven that they are incompetent and incapable of throwing a successful insurrection against the United States, even with minimal resistance.

If these dipshits try to pull another January 6th the hammer will be dropped so hard on their asses we'll need a paint scraper to get them off the street.

It's bullshit. Not Just Bikes is the Dutch equivalent to a weeb--a Dweeb, if you will.

I live in the NW US, but I've visited plenty of places in Europe including Ireland, the UK, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, and yes, the Netherlands. Nowhere is perfect. Seattle and Portland have flaws, as do Amsterdam and Rotterdam.

It's a real cynical bitch move to pretend that American cities can't be improved and aren't worth fighting for, especially when <100 years ago Europe was a smoldering warzone.

Anywhere can be made better, if people advocate and vote in ways that will make them better.

This looks super promising to me, as it seems to blend the best of both tiling and floating windows. I hope they manage to work this in to future versions of Gnome.

Is it just me or is mastodon.art the source of almost all of the drama on the fediverse?

If the voice actors get paid fairly for the use of their voice, and I mean fairly, then there really isn't much of an issue.

As long as they pay the actors fairly for use of their voice and/or likeness, it's fine. The problem right now is the exploitation of people's personality rights.

This fucking dude could have spent <$1M hiring a small team to spin up a heavily customized X-branded Mastodon server, but instead he spent $44 BILLION dollars buying and ruining Twitter.

How fucking crazy is that? That's fucking crazy... right?

Everything loads slower on Windows. I've run programs through fucking Wine that still load faster than they do on Windows.

I don't know much about ARM, but this is good right?

It seems that the more officially supported, open source GPU driver stacks we have, the better.

Yeah, it's incredibly hard to be optimistic about how things are going. Tech used to be one of those things that made me excited about things to come and look forward to the future, but now (with rich AI tech bros ripping off artists and creatives, proof of work harming the environment, people owning and controlling less and less, etc.) it just feels like so many things are pushing us in a bad direction.

On the bright side, things like Linux, FOSS and the Fediverse are examples of good tech, and at least the potential for a future where the people have some agency and ownership over the digital world. I hope that we can continue to grow software in an open and community-based direction, if only so that the niche of geeks who care about computers and the internet can have some way of fighting back against ever-growing tech conglomerates.
