Not that it's worth the effort of jumping through hoops for a fucking file transfer of all things, but I wonder you can do it by spoofing your user agent?

Remember kids, violence is never the answer. But it's always an answer.

Oh, you can do PieFed on Voyager?

Not with that attitude

$20 is the limit for me. I'm perfectly fine waiting a few years to play the game, if it still exists by that point. If it doesn't, then I'm glad I didn't waste my time.

Funny you mention it, the next large purchase I have planned is a gaming PC to replace my aging 2018 laptop, and I plan on going all-in on Linux. From what I can tell, AMD seems to be the way to go, and as a long time Fedora user, I'm interested in Nobara.

What's your setup? Any recommendations?

Are we missing out on anything important or particularly valuable? (actual question, I'm not familiar with Beehaw)

Plenty happened as a direct result of the protests. There was a brief moment of solidarity where everyone had a perspective to share about racial (and other types of) bias and discrimination, in turn sparking a cultural shift toward better inclusion and equity efforts. Police brutality and excessive force were thrown into a much bigger spotlight, and reasonable districts made positive sweeping changes (shoutout to Illinois's SAFE-T Act). Those months of protests pressured prosecutors to up the charges of the officers involved with murder charges appropriate to the situation, instead of third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter.

There were some people that felt threatened by all this, so they cranked up the propaganda machine (with help from their Russian compatriots) in a desperate effort to bury it, gain traction, and build up enough power to undo everything. To say that nothing happened because of the protests, to oversimplify it down to "just a bunch of looting and riots," to characterize the movement as "radical left-wing/antifa terrorism," are those false narratives they're so desperate to promote.

Protests work. And they know it. They're terrified of it.

Never forget that the crime he was ultimately executed for, without due process, was giving a cashier a counterfeit $20. That was enough of a justification for those cops and everyone who supports them.

Your perspective is way off. It sounds like you're young, single (no kids, at least), and doing well for yourself. Which is great!

I have a pretty well-paying job, at least enough for my family and I to live comfortably. But I also have adult responsibilities, including taking care of said family. Sure, on paper, I could feasibly afford to get both, but there's no sense in getting two systems that--to my earlier point--seem to serve identical functions. Especially not when I'd also like to go out with my wife, prep a high schooler for college, help my younger child with severe special needs with everything he needs to thrive, sometimes go on vacation, do some other hobbies, responsibly maintain vehicles and things around the house, and so on. All that on top of purchasing frugally (every single piece of furniture in my living room, for example, we got secondhand for free).

So yes, it's very much an either/or decision for me, as it is for a lot of people.

I don't have a Steam Deck yet. Given the choice between that and the Switch 2, at this point, I'm still going with the Steam Deck.

Damn, I felt that one particularly hard

What are some good free providers besides OpenSubtitles? I recently migrated my library and I'm hitting my daily limit filling in what I'm missing.

I'm choosing to interpret this as the human being the patient and that (harmlessly) forking pot-bellied pigs is therapeutic for us.

Hit me. I love evolutionary fun facts.

As soon as they showed the JoyCon mouse control I was hoping there would be support for standard mice. It still doesn't do anything to steer me toward a Switch 2 over a Steam Deck, but it's an excellent move for accessibility.

I'm 5'5" and I just know my legs would dangle like a child on their first roller coaster.

Where are you hosting your instance now? I've been looking into a cheap VPS for the things I'd rather not host on my personal home network.

Honestly I'd much rather see homesteading cycle in and out of the public zeitgeist than the trends of felonies disguised as "challenges."

See, and look how he turned out!
