Well, you'll be happy to hear that starting next year, to earn a 5 star safety rating for the EU, cars will need to have less of all those things!

Edit: sorry. Not less knobs and buttons. More knobs and buttons, less touchscreen bs.

Based on my frequent listening to behind the bastards, I'd say chances of that are low. Best we can probably hope for is really painful illness leading to a slow death.

I have an alt on .ca, I find there's a pretty good mix of beliefs there. And a fair number less tankies than where this alt I'm on is....

It's not a bug, it's the system working as designed

That's fair man

👍 any time bud

VPNw

It's a little known FOSS project, it piggybacks on TOR network and several other VPNs. The "W" stands for wank, as unfortunately VPNw only allows porn through to the user's device, if a non-smut site is accessed VPNw injects millisecond flashes of tiddies n cacks full screen every 45 seconds. Highly recommended, can't ever be too safe out there on the digital seas....

Never forget the broad bipatisan support for blind support of the genocide being carried out by Israel.
The current Republican party is definitely the worse of the two, but it's small margins. The Democrats, with a few exceptions (that I'm sure would be Independents if there was actually any point to that in the American electoral system,) only barely qualify as liberal these days. They keep shifting further right to try and capture some of the less rabid "disenfranchised" republican voters. End of the day this is doing damage to American democracy too.

I only had an underpowered laptop that could barely play modern games.

I would like to point out that not all modern games have stupidly high requirements, and I might argue that the ones that do could actually optimise their shit to work on lower spec machines.

That'd be a good band name

My phone's camera app just doesn't scan qr codes. It's actually really frustrating. I refuse to install a specific qr scanner, but I'd still like the ability to scan a menu code at restaurants or to get the WiFi connection at a hotel....

Hmmmm.....I'd never thought of that.....but goddamnit you're right! Guess I'll be telling the wife we need to pump a few out!

Nah, what he means by "traditional family values" is the women folk stay indoors, keep the house, pump out kids til they're a dead shriveled husk, the men get to do whatever they want, sleep around whatever. And if they feel like the wife or kids are talking back they beat the everliving fuck out of em, and that's fine because the wife and kids shouldn't have been talking back to the man of the house....

He's not a hypocrite, he just doesn't mean the same thing you think he is with the words he's using.

My cat has a new obsession: sticking his head out of the cat flap, seeing that it's raining, staying still, coming back in, meowing at me like "Daaad, it's raining" and starting the cycle again.

My cat does this, except he goes all the way out, stands under the one leaky bit of the guttering 3 stories up, comes in soaked, yells until you dry him off and repeats. It's gotten to the point we just lock him in if it's raining. That way he yells about being imprisoned for a few minutes then goes and has a nap until the next meal time.

Patently false! They produce money for shareholders, by providing a really shitty way to pay for food.

Yeah, bar progress is sus

They're quite dated now, but Neverwinter Nights 1&2 have a pretty robust multiplayer element.

Best description I could find is from this steam post reply by DrLoboto:

AFAIK, there are three different possibilities to play multiplayer:

1. You and your friend play through the official campaign and/or and the first expansion Shadows of Undrentide, or a user-made adventure that specifically allows for multiplayer (not all of them do). The second expansion Hordes of the Underdark might be possible to play through in multiplayer, too, but I heard there are some issues. Of the DLC, I think only Pirates of the Sword Coast and Infinite Dungeons officially support multiplayer.
2. You and your friend log onto a so called Persistant World (PW), which is like a mini MMO, an online world created and hosted by users which is usually accessible to everyone, so you might run into and interact with other players. Some of these are more action-oriented with pre-scripted quests, others are strictly roleplay, meaning you are meant to stay in character and not talk about meta stuff while playing. Sometimes administrators may take on the role of NPCs or monsters and entertain you.
3. You and your friend either join another group or run your own game in which one of the users assumes the role of a dungeon master, taking control of NPCs and monsters and creating an adventure for the other player(s).

The more common options would be 1. and 2. In those case, you will both control your own character and you can form a party and fight together, but theoretically you can also split up whenever you want to (even while remaining in the same party) and explore on your own. In case 1. one of you will open an online game and host it for the other player to join (anyone who owns NWN can do this, you don't need anything else or any particular knowledge), in case 2. you will both join the server of the according PW team. Note that in case 1. the pre-written adventures will often assume that the NPCs are always talking to the same character as the hero of the story; it's not perfect but it works if you agree that one of you is the main character doing most of the talking for the main quests, or if you can live with the occasional confusion now and then. ;)

Full "It's my first day on linux" step-by-step guide. Everything from updating, setting themes, backups, installing nvidia drivers is in there. All relevant choices are meticulously explained.

Ok.... that's not what you said though? That's a usage guide, not a set up wizard. Sorry for being pedantic, but words mean things, and sometimes if you use the wrong words for things people can get confused by what you're trying to say.

It's the only distro I know with a fully featured setup wizard that holds your hand through the entire process.

Ubuntu, Fedora, Nobara(Fedora fork by GloriousEggroll of proton-ge), Garuda Arch, Pop!OS. Those are just the few I've personally fiddled with.

Highly recommend Garuda, Nobara and Pop!, in that order, for gaming.
