I pirated a Prime show I already had access to just the other day out of annoyance because of their ads.

A selection of up to 30 candidates for a ranked choice does sound daunting. Yet despite that 80% of those that voted did complete those sections. That doesn't sound unreasonable to me.

Edit: mentioned city council specifically. Changed to more generic phrasing.

I tend to be nostalgic for the tech of my childhood. VHS is an exception. It always was horrid.

(Yes, I know you're referring to it's use in horror films.)

I hope it's a positive experience when you do!

An hour old post about Windows on the Fediverse and no one has said use Linux?

Use Linux.

Almost everything on my store page is AAA or liveservice trash.

Very little on my Steam page is. This is just one data point but still it suggests their suggestion algorithm somewhat works for this.

Just an observation on that specific thing not a disagreement with the problem. Live service is trash and needs to go away if it's not an exclusively multiplayer game.

I'm just throwing shade for fun.

Feels like the right choice for a shitposting community!

Are ps5's not useful?

I haven't bothered with the last generation of consoles, but I haven't heard anything bad about them.

But maybe my "haven't bothered" comment is a common sentiment and the answer to my own question?

I've never had any trouble running adobe software on Linux.

I've also never tried, but still the statement is technically correct.

That's a new metaphor for me. I like it! And I want some chips now. Either the British or American kind.

Give up on nvidia, IMO.

I feel like most everyone* who cares about distros likes Debian. It may not be the right distro for your use case, but you're glad it's around.

* I'm sure even Debian has it's haters. But I think it's a minority.

Or just a pun that went over my head. Either way, thanks for the answer!

I'm guessing there's some story with spa sex? "Elon Spa Sex" isn't a search term I'm willing to enter.

Found it mentioned as an alternative when Reddit announced their API changes.

My guess is we're still too small and niche to be a tempting target.

I think the federated nature of lemmy will make it an easy target when it does come along though.

Disclaimer: I don't really know what I'm talking about.

Edit: Spelling

I hadn't heard the term radiation fog before. I figured it probably wasn't as scary as it sounded (to me) and indeed it's not.

Some suggestions for solid state alternatives as old mechanical magnetic storage has such a high failure rate. But retro whatever way you want, of course!

You can get ide to compact flash or ide to sata adapters and get some reasonably modern solid state hard drive storage in there, if that interests you. I understand (haven't tried personally) that compatibility can be kind of a crapshoot though.

You can also get a gotek which has a floppy interface and can load floppy images from a USB thumbdrive. Which might be a more functional option than getting a USB floppy drive for a modern machine.

I've heard of one of them and consumed content from none of them.

According to the plan linked in the article https://mailchi.mp/press.kamalaharris.com/vice-president-harris-lays-out-agenda-to-lower-costs-for-american-families this tax credit would be for low and middle class families. Which I agree with and like. Help those that need it.

Edit: copy/pasta of the relevant bit: "Vice President Harris is proposing a new plan to get tax relief to more than 100 million Americans. Her plan will expand the Child Tax Credit to provide a $6,000 tax cut to families with newborn children. Unlike Trump and Vance, Vice President Harris is committed to ensuring no one earning less than $400,000 a year will pay more in new taxes."
