  • Or anything relating MTG.

    She's just a low effort troll looking for attention.

    There's no value in anything she ever said or did in her entirely life, so there's no value in reporting on any of it either.

  • When Netflix and Premium came along, I switched from pirating literally everything to finding that I had access to everything I wanted to watch between 15-30€ a month combined. Cheaper than a TV sub here costs (and a TV sub here didn't have the shows I wanted to watch).

    Then the whole streaming market fragmented with every jackass on earth starting their own and removing a buttload of content from Netflix and YouTube.

    Resulting in that if I wanted to watch everything I want to watch, I'd be paying north of 150€ a month.

    So I pulled my wooden leg and dead parrot out of my closet and resumed pirating.

    Yarrrrr!

  • When I went to school, my hometown with about 10000 people had 12 schools. They are now one single school community.

    Close to 15000 students from up to 50 miles away came to that school when I lived there, somewhere between 25-30K attend school there now.

    Schools here get funded per student nationally, rather than locally (which removes this issue of towns not wanting people that don't pay town taxes to attend).

    School curriculum is guided nationally, rather than locally (which removes the issue where large school districts dictate school curriculum across the nation).

    Etc, etc.

    Even private schools need to follow national curriculum. They can supplement it, but the base education is dictated nationally.

  • I watch them to spectate the inevitable moment she grooms a bonafide ice bear.

  • This is getting out of hand rather quickly.

    I recently was watching some feelgood videos to up my mood (stuff like Thedodo) and one of the channels I landed on, the voice instantly sounded extremely familiar.

    I thought "oh, did The Girl with the Dogs start another channel?" but then I listened more carefully and noticed the typical "generated" fragments in the audio.

    They aren't just copying the voices of celebrities, but also of popular YouTubers.

  • And it's often familial too.

    My family on my mothers side and my eldest sister all struggled to carry pregnancies to term in their 20's, getting pregnant relatively easily, to then miscarry.

    Heck, my mothers mom died in childbirth giving birth to her, she first had a long string of miscarriages and then was on the old side to have babies when my mom came along.

    It's all a very "hey, lets stigmatize and traumatize these people that are going through a horrible medical and psychological event in their lives some more!".

  • Biggest issue I have with Linux is the inability to sanely use multiple hard drives

    What do you mean with that?

  • None.

    Halloween isn't really a thing here, but last year the elderly home organized a Trick or Treating event where everyone was invited, but it was mainly setup to give the elderly a fun activity.

    I don't think I've ever seen people enjoy dressing up for Halloween as much as they did.

  • Depending on the OPs circumstances, that realization may actually be what is causing them their bad times.

    Friend of mine has had ideation for a long ass time and the frequency of them trying to step out of life increased considerably when that realization hit them.

    When you're already feeling worthless and without purpose, realizing nothing has purpose and this whole concept of life and living we have is utterly meaningless in the grand scale of the universe, it's not ideal.

  • And with that, a shitton of games that weren't yet, are now also playable on Linux, sometimes on 1:1 parity with Windows performance. (sometimes even better)

    I thank Steam for finally kicking the habit of using Windows as my browsing and gaming desktop.

    My development and work rigs and laptops have been Linux based for over 2 decades.

    But after attempting to go full time on my gaming system with Linux every couple of years, I always ended up going back to Windows because the compatibility issues couldn't be overcome at all, for some of the games I regularly played.

    Now, while there's already a crapton of games that simply get released on Linux at launch, plenty have Windows targeted versions that simply work on Linux compatibility layers, thanks to Valve.

  • And he did.

    If you look at the history of the Goa'uld coming to earth 12000 years ago and ruling most of the Galaxy for nearly as long, Jack ended all that within the confines of a single decade.

  • I wouldn't go as far as to say they care about employees, there are plenty economical reasons to do so, the fact it gels with happy employees is pure happenstance..

    The difference is when the drive to maximize money is greater than the need to lord over people.

    That is, unless the company owns the real estate and buildings themselves, then the fear the value of the property will tank is another overriding factor that sets them against WFH.

  • He knows because it is in his best interest for it to be so.

    As remote work is going to decimate the commercial realestate market.

  • No conflict of interest here folks.

    Not like there's murmurs about a commercial real estate crash looming due to remote work being super effective and there being no reason what so ever for CEOs to have these gigantic castles with thousands of serfs.

  • Yet it's still the guns, be it in the hands of an officially mentally ill person or someone who's undiagnosed but can't descern reality from fiction none the less.

    Assault weapon ban goes into effect, mass shootings drop drastically.

    Assault weapons ban is allowed to expire, it goes up north of 200%.

    Assault weapons are revered like Jesus himself and mass murder scenarios suddenly happen every goddamn week.

    The prevalence of weapons and free availability of them to virtually anyone, be they mentally ill or fundamentalist radicals, is the direct cause of this getting so out of hand.

    Not mental illness or healthcare.

    Mental illness exists everywhere.

    Mass shootings (and probably any shootings) on the scale and regularity like in the US do not exist anywhere else.

  • Yeah, my SSD can do somewhere around 7GB/s read/write, barely half that with the encryption enabled.

    And I have an external USB carry with an NVMe drive which should be perfectly capable of doing the maximum (1GB/s on a USB3.1 port) , but with encryption enabled, it's struggling to do over 350MB/s

  • Stewart does not need Apple at this point pretty much at all.

    Did he ever tho?

    It's Jon Stewart. He can start a YouTube show and hit millions of subscribers within a week.

  • Stuff like this tends to be rolled out in groups.

  • That seems to happen a lot with Kbin and Lemmy.

    Either you hit add comment and it says it had some error, so you do it again and it actually worked the first time.

    Or you hit it once and somehow it posts it twice.

    That's why some apps use this mechanism to gate submissions by a few seconds.

    So you can't submit or edit/save more than once every 5 seconds or so.
