  • Same here. If I could get Vortex Mod Manager to work under Wine/Proton, I wouldn't use Windows at all.

  • Yeah this.

    Channeling Joe Pesci from "Casino": "You only have that farking data because WE made that possible!"

  • Who talks like that? A grifter. A guy who literally embodies all of the seven deadly sins, trying to convince his followers that "he's a Christian." That is just exploding with irony.

  • When you car can connect to the Internet, it becomes a data-mining tool that tells everyone your business. Companies would LOVE to have all that juicy location data that only Google has right now (from your phones). Insurance companies would LOVE to know your driving habits to have any excuse at all to jack up your premiums.

  • This. And "cryptically declares?" Really? Trump is always dumb, blunt and obvious. Believe people when they show you what they really are.

  • There's nothing subtle about Trump. So when he say something blatantly stupid and evil, it doesn't need translation or interpretation. If he says, "we're going to 'fix' voting so that you'll never have to worry about voting ever again" there only ONE way to interpret that. Believe people when they show you what they really are.

    It also doesn't help that our mainstream, "liberal news media" (you know, the one that's owned by only six corporations) is constantly running interference for Trump.

  • Damn, Acer. You used to be cool. (a very long time ago)

  • If only there were hundreds of other sites on the Internet that stream video. If porn sites can make it work, anyone can make it work.

  • "Project 2025 will weaken the middle class."

    Project 2025 will destroy the middle class. It is a guide to creating a Judge Dredd universe where the only people living in it will be the Super Rich and Super F*cking Poor. They're not even trying to hide it.

  • Who would have guessed that a social media platform owned by an apartheid-loving fascist would trend conservative?

  • There are many creatures in nature that warn others that they are toxic or dangerous by having bright colors, warning sounds or by wearing little red hats.

  • I didn't think the MAGAs could find a stupider fashion accessory than those dumb, red hats but somehow, they found a way.

  • In April, a CrowdStrike update caused all Debian Linux servers in a civic tech lab to crash simultaneously and refuse to boot.

    And then, you boot their servers from a Linux Live USB, run TimeShift to restore the last system snapshot, refuse the latest patch from Cloudstrike and they all lived happily ever after.

  • Our government was corrupted the moment the courts accepted the "Corporations are people/ Money is speech" arguments. At that moment, the government stopped representing the needs of ordinary people and only represented the needs of billionaires and their lobbyists.

    It's taking a long time to play out but it's going to end badly.

  • The police accepted the software’s judgment and Ms. Hemid went home with no further protection.

    This is what happens when you rely on your Nintendos, instead of using your damn brains.

  • And then they unveiled their, "ByteDance: We're totally not the CCP" logo.

    And everyone laughed harder.

  • Equilateral triangle. All three sides are equal length and it has three interior angles that add up to exactly 180 degrees.

  • There's a couple of YouTube videos where urban explorers re-visited Chernobyl many years after the accident. They explored the area around the plant and visited the hospital where Russian firefighters were taken after they were exposed to debris from the reactor's core.

    Their clothing was seriously contaminated and was removed and stored in a room in the hospital's basement. The explorers visited the basement where the clothing is still stored today. They didn't get close to the clothing because it is still contaminated. As in, "not safe to enter the room" contaminated.

  • Who needs a driver? This car has AUTOPILOT.

    But seriously, Tesla "autopilot" is nothing more than a cruise control you have to keep an eye on. Which means, it's NOT "autopilot." This technology is not ready for the real world. Sooner or later, it's going to cause a major, horrible accident, involving dozens or people. Musk has enough connections to avoid any real-world consequences but maybe enough people will get over their child-like worship of billionaires and stop treating him like he's the next Bill Gates.

  • This is that "AI" that investors keep jerking themselves purple over.

    Real "Self driving cars" will not be available in our lifetimes.
