The idea that Republicans might be willing to “jump through more hoops” would certainly align with Lakoff’s ideas (from 2004, mind):

That hurricane machine must not be working too well…

Looks awesome!

Near the top of the ReadMe, it says “desktop and mobile devices” - what’s mobile support like? Is there an app…?

Kinda disappointed in The Register of all things adopting this faux personal life story reporting style on such a matter.

I feel most of this is a slippery slope / negative sum spiral.

See e.g. Liv Boeree’s video on beauty filters.

In my opinion (see also Dr Gabor Maté), addictions (which, I also think, can be about petty much anything) are very much mostly attempts to escape pain, when better alternatives do not seem available to a person.

So, yeah, video game addiction can be a thing, and certain game designs exacerbate that (similar to what might fuel gambling addictions and such).

But all of this perspective only distracts from whatever is causing the people/kids pain, makes them seek out games in an addicted fashion in the first place.

I’m gonna be interested how that’s supposed to work with false positives, err, collateral damage, err, plausibly deniable canceling of free speech of citizens. Nice try.

Started negotiating at 40%, agreed to 10% less “so 10% of 40 is 4, right?”

… And it’s rather quite… interesting… how long this has been going on…

I recently came across ReaR and very much like it so far for my “fire and forget” whole system backups (working data I back up differently, typically something rsync-y).

From one perspective, it should work; from another I never thought about how SATA/IDE adapters exactly work in this regard. Would any old one work, or most, or (almost) none at all?

Just to add this idea, I’ve used internal floppy drives with USB connection in the past, to attach in systems that don’t have an old style floppy connector.

P.S.: Love the idea! I’m also a great fan of haptic/physical interfaces.

Working and well-integrated “run this on that rendering GPU”, with unused GPUs being switched off (laptop use case).

Hope this can be understood as semi-on-topic harmless fun here:

Yuki installs Gentoo

Which is kinda one of the main reasons I started to like and still like gentoo. I do understand that it’s not for everyone as a daily driver. Maybe Arch could also fit?

How about adding lemmy.ml?

It doesn’t have the same problem as lemmy.fhmy.ml, but especially because of current unknowns around .ml domains, it would benefit greatly from independent monitoring.
