  • I can only agree. The Democrats are just as bound to the funding of the billionaires as the Republicans, they just have to hide it better in order to have a chance to win something.

    The Roman Empire fell slowly, and now it's our turn. I only hope that true socialism can emerge from the ashes.

  • That's the nature of the beast. You can't have human users on a network without at least some slop.

    But the decentralized network ensures that a "techno-baron" has no more say than you or I, which is exactly what the internet is supposed to do.

    That's decidedly better than a centralized system, especially now.

  • I considered getting a Pilet, but I can't justify the cost when my 5-year-old lenovo flexpad does everything I need. Then I almost got a Raspberry Pi 500 just because it's cool, but again, I don't have any actual use case, I just love these sort of setups.

  • At least they stuck to it, and were transparent about the state of things.

    I've bought several early access games that I don't play yet, because I believe they will get there at some point. My hardware doesn't do cyberpunk 2077 justice, but if it did I would've bought it too.

  • I definitely agree that less plastic = better in general. But if you're going to 3d print stuff, at least this is functional.

    And I'm not here to argue. God it is nice to have a civil discussions on social media.

  • China has also mastered modern slave labor. That someone makes thier own replacement instead of ordering some small uncomplicated part from across the globe isn't crazy, it's self-reliant and smart.

    But that's, like, just my opinion man.

  • I just thought perhaps there is already a lot of the necessary components there since bazzite is so well-tailored to running windows games. But of course I have no idea what I'm talking about. I hope I made that at least somewhat clear in my comment.

  • This is just an idea, but bazzite could possibly work for affinity. It's designed around steam and proton compatibility layer, and it can play almost all games made for Windows out of the box.

    So perhaps you could use the proton compatibility layer instead of wine. You could even add the exe to steam as a "non-steam-game" to make starting the program super simple.

    I am no expert here, it's just a thought.

  • Yes. German is a Lego-block language. The example in the image is extreme, but there are lots of "combination" words like that.

    For example, glove is Handschuh, which means hand-shoe. A shoe for your hand.

  • Germany has regulations for food that are much more demanding than those of the US, so there isn't much that fast food restaurants can do to cut costs in Germany aside from the order touchscreens and such.

    Here's an example.

    Excerpt about additives:

    Believe it or not, big name food brands often adjust their ingredients in European countries compared to their products released in the United States. Certain ingredients that are illegal in Europe are still allowed, and commonly used, in the United States. The following eight common ingredients are approved in the U.S. but  banned by the European Union or select European states.

    • rBGH (rBST) 
      • Common foods: Milk and yogurt
      • Purpose: Injected into cows to boost milk production
    • Ractopamine
      • Common foods: Pork, beef, and turkey
      • Purpose: Increases lean muscle near the end of an animal’s life
    • Potassium bromate (bromated flour)
      • Common foods: Hamburger and hot dog buns, and packaged baked goods
      • Purpose: Makes bread fluffier and whiter
    • Brominated vegetable oil (BVO)
      • Common beverages: Sports drinks and sodas
      • Purpose: Keeps flavor from floating to the surface
    • Olestra 
      • Common foods: Fat-free chips
      • Purpose: Substitutes fat
    • Azodicarbonamide
      • Common foods: Frozen dinners, pasta mix, and packaged baked goods
      • Purpose: Bleaches flour rapidly
    • Coloring agents (Red #40, Yellow #6, Yellow #5, and Blue #1)
      • Common foods/beverages: Cake mix, candy, soda, and sports beverages
      • Purpose: Changes food color
    • BHA and BHT
      • Common foods/beverages: Gum, cereal, vegetable oil, butter, and beer
      • Purpose: Makes food last longer

    And these additive ingredients expand past the EU into the United Kingdom. For example, the American version of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese is entirely different from Kraft’s “Cheesey Pasta” sold in Great Britain. Take a look at the differences below.

  • Good point, that was the beginning of the decline already.

    Those speeder bike scenes, though. >chef's kiss< The rest of the film could've been Han Solo throwing up into his helmet and I still would've watched it.
