regex101 also excellent

Stop trying to address the root cause of thie actual issue and humanizing these people. You need to act performativly OUTRAGED and have a moral panic fueled by your repressed sexuality!!1!

But the title also neatly sidesteps all of the nuance that a user needs to actually understand what is happening. But "Norway experiencing unintended consequences from poorly executed EV incentives" won't drive clicks the same way

I mean, it specifically is giving support for booting disks over an existing protocol to systemd. That's pretty well within scope?

Comedy follows the rule of 3s...

That's the line in the sand? Sheesh.

I know white people with Asian names. It's called interracial children. Give it two generations and last names can look like literally anyone.

Sure the omnipotent part would near to be changed a little bit

And I'm sure the fanbase would have been just fine with that.

I mean, he represents a fairly conservative section of Minnesota, but it's still Minnesota. He needs to appear to be bridging the divide.

And I'm sure he colluded on those votes to make sure they didn't tip the scales. Lots of 'neutral' politicians do that so come election time their opponents have less ammunition.

But yes, the least rotten apple of the bunch, by this measure.

I mean... Gestures broadly at the GOP reps

Sure, we'll just have 6 million people become unemployed overnight, causing an instant recession. Brilliant.

Oh, and red states suck down a ton more federal aid than they contribute.

And I'm sure you're cool with the states increasing your tax rates to pay the 6,000,000 civilian federal employees their contracted and salaried jobs? And all the humanitarian and research grants that the federal budget uses to employ hundreds of thousands of others while investing in our future?

Nah, you're just here to suck off Ayn Rand and spout Charlie Kirk talking points you think make you sound edgy and wise, while contributing nothing of value to the conversation.

I just love how my printer has become an appliance. Like, shit, I need to print something. I just press print. No print head cleaning, no alignment, no driver download and crapware games, no color cartridge wack-a-mole to print black and white. It just... Prints. Every time.

It's become as exciting as using my toaster, and I love it for that.

Brother Laser here. Never fucking going back.

YES. I don't understand this delusion people keep perpetuating. Flatpak has a MILD form of container sandboxing. For a real security sandbox we have Firejails or Bubble wrap.

Flatpak is, at it's core, a software development and distribution packaging format. NOT a security implementation.

I understand this stance emotionally, but there's a ton of extremely important work Congress needs to get done immediately. It can't progress with a standard interim speaker.

This is bigger than "Haha, the people I don't like are going to look bad". They have a fucking job to do and a limited amount of time to do it. If it doesn't get done, innocent people will suffer.

Unless you're offering to somehow pay the salaries and contracts of the 6 million civilians who will lose pay with a government shutdown, to say nothing of the humanitarian efforts worldwide that run off the federal budget.

Others can probably add more, but PA started as a Kickstarter back in the wild West days of Kickstarter. Lots of promises made, lots of concepts shown. Biggest failures I can recall from that hazily distant time:

1. Last minute they added an always-online requirement to play. This was in the early 2010s, and was very frowned upon considering the local-first nature of TA. Also lead to enormous stability issues for months after launch.
2. The promise was for a TA/SC successor, but what we got was far more cartoony and watered down than TA/SC and what was shown during Kickstarter. A lot of the core game loops of TA/SC were simply missing or so simplified they no longer mattered.
3. While the game was still in a fairly immature, broken, buggy, incomplete state, they released Planetary Annihilation: Titans. This was probably done to duck all the poor reviews they had on their Steam page, which stemmed from the issues with the Kickstarter campaign promises and the mentioned bugs/incompleteness on release. Titans was significantly better, but required a new purchase (begrudgingly discounted if you had bought PA early enough) and offered a lot of improvements that should have been brought to the original game for free.

All of that said, since the Titans release, Uber has generally done right by the community, but it was a painful and bumpy road. Most of the community turned their focus to work on Beyond All Reason, rather than continue to depend on Uber.

If you liked Total Annihilation, Supreme Commander, or were able to see the interesting game behind all of Planetary Annihilation, you should check out https://www.beyondallreason.info/ instead of continuing to support this company after all the BS of PA.

Did you ever get into Supreme Commander? It's a true, updated TA successor. Otherwise now there's Beyond All Reason, which the community has largely migrated to.

Then, uh, $1000 should probably be the "maximum placeholder" too, jackasses.

A thousand times. And I say that as a fan of Syncthing, I use it for half a dozen other use cases.
