Kanopy looks like they use Widevine DRM. I will continue using other DRM-free sources.

They've always had this policy. A priest would be excommunicated for revealing even a murderer, if they knew about it from a confession.

Gods, that's awful. I would send them a bill for the cost of my attention.

At this rate, they'll deport the players. Is it too late to move the 2026 world cup?

From the Steam page:

    
 SteamOS + Linux
    Minimum:
        Processor: Core 2 Duo
        Memory: 8 MB RAM
        Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 or other shader model 4.0

  

    
Windows
Minimum:
    OS: Microsoft Windows 10 (latest SP) 64-bit
    Processor: Intel i5 @ 3.0 GHz or higher (or AMD equivalent)
    Memory: 8 GB RAM
    Graphics: GeForce 1660 Super / Radeon RX 5600 XT / Intel B580 or higher

  

I lol'd.

Their entire security model depends on knowing file extensions, but they still hide them. Even if you enable it, there are some extensions that still won't show, like .lnk (shortcut file). You can absolutely have executable code, and therefore malware in a .lnk file.

And it was GPL, so it wasn't even copyright infringement.

That's kind of an asshole take. As a US citizen, there's no country that would take me in right now. I'm just not eligible to work in any of the other countries I've looked at.

First, I only know English. I know a bit of French because my parents paid for lessons when I was a kid, but I've had zero chance to practice after college. Many Americans have no foreign language experience at all.

Second, what skills can a typical American market? If you don't have any good skills, it's hard to apply for work visa in another country. You could try applying for asylum, but other countries don't really see things as bad enough to take in Americans yet.

Third, how long would it take to apply? A year is typical. Again, you could try asylum which may have an initial time allocation to stay until your hearing. But that only works once countries start accepting Americans' asylum claims.

A lot of people can't afford to move.

And a lot of people want to stay and fight.

I stopped eating there a year ago when I found out they were charging me about 50% more for not using their app.

I have to disagree about the idiot proof. KDE Plasma and Mate Desktop are more idiot proof and easy for newbies than Windows 10-11, yet have more features in their simple control panels.

I've had no bootloader problems in the last 10 years of Debian, Linux Mint, and Ubuntu (15-20 installs, plus another 20-30 if you count VMs.) However, my work computer's bootloader was semi-bricked twice in 2019 (Windows 7).

Hegseth himself is a bigger threat to the US than China will ever be.

I assume bash scripts using jpegtopnm | pnmtopng are also in the neutral good category (from Netpbm).

Turn signals are not optional.

Yes, I think he will (except the ones that fall over to threats, and give in to 47's demands).

But that's not the point. It's possible to have a safe factory staffed by happy, well-paid workers. If it were actually true that manufacturing would return to the US as a result of the tariffs, that manufacturing shouldn't be considered an inherently bad thing.

I like git add because then you can do git diff --staged

Are they trying to say it's inherently miserable to work in a factory? So let Chinese workers do it instead of Americans?

It shouldn't be miserable to work in a factory. The overhead pneumatic drill shown towards the end is just like a drill I used when I worked in a factory one summer in Chicago. It was perfectly safe, and the people I worked with were well compensated. (I was not, because I was only 16.)

I think people in China might have this attitude because to them, it usually is unsafe, miserable, and underpaid. There is no proper unionization in China, and no OSHA, so it's always bad.

In 2019, when I visited a Chinese factory for work, the assembly line was tight enough that all the workers bumped elbows constantly. One person had a very loud compressed air tube to clean off components, and wore hearing protection and safety glasses. The person next to them had no hearing protection. Another person was testing blindingly bright LED shop lights, and wore sunglasses, but the people next to them had no protection. This would have been considered totally unsafe in the US.

I doubt much manufacturing will return to the US, but if it does, then even by 2025 standards it wouldn't be as bad as in China. With OSHA gutted by the current Republican administration, it's getting worse, but we still have more worker's rights than workers in China.

Because assault rifles (or any fully automatic rifles) are highly illegal in the US, and very rare in practice. If it was an assault rifle, its existence would have been as notable of a crime as his brandishing and threatening. The police would have been unlikely to let him go, would likely have confiscated the gun, and would have reported all that to the media.

The Nintendo 64 had no 64-bit games.

They probably would have taken more flash and RAM with no advantage in performance.

Nobody knows. The police didn't say. There are no photos close enough to identify it.

The article says "gun" seven times. It's accurate and gets the point across about his crime, unlike "assault rifle", which falsely states that he had an illegal type if gun.

"Rifle" is a word that everyone knows is a type of gun. Even if not everyone knows the specifics, news people should at least look up the word before using it if they don't know. It's wrong for news people to use falsely the phrase "assault rifle" because of their ignorance.
