  • There is literally no way to define this anti-DEI craze except saying "anyone who wasn't white and male never helped with anything". There isn't even a veneer on it. It's pure racism, sexism... probably many other isms.

  • Elon, the "it's not a Nazi salute, he's just autistic" guy?

  • All that freedom!! What will they do with it?

  • The CoW nature of Btrfs means it's often slower than ext4 for common tasks, right? It also means more writes to your SSDs.

    I've stuck to ext4 so far, as someone who doesn't really have a need for snapshotting.

    Edit: I'm not an expert on file systems in the least, so do chime in if these assumptions are incorrect.

  • I would suggest that the Dixon Ticonderoga is the most reliable, most cost-efficient, and easiest-to-use writing utinsil in the history of humanity.*

    Each other option has more points of potential failure and additional complexities over the Ticonderoga. While more complicated tools may net you some improvement in writing style or sharpness, they are massive trade-offs in more basic areas.

    This would be much the same question if it were "what car would you drive for the rest of your life" between fancy ones like Ferraris and Lambos to cheaper, more reliable ones like Corollas and Civics. Everyone likes the look of the Ferrari -- but the only car for the rest of your life? It's got to be reliable, or you're going nowhere. You want to be able to keep driving.

    The Ticonderoga guarantees you can keep writing.

    *intentionally overselling it for humor. But it is a nice, simple, good-quality pencil.

  • Smoke and mirrors.

    The whole thing is just designed to make it look like Musk is doing something other than shutting things down haphazardly. Someone makes a claim, it gets press, and then it is never verified.

    There is a reason DOGE sees itself as immune to FOIA requests. They don't want anyone looking behind the curtain.

  • Whew, that's gonna open up a lot or capital so these companies can finally pay other employees fair wages. Right?..... Right?!

  • It's Ok. Dems will keep losing big until the useless fucks get it into their heads that the future doesn't have them in it (if the Dems even have a future).

    They can't follow the money anymore once it stops flowing.

  • It's also way different from the goal of HL2. Downloading a launcher called Steam for free is not the same thing as buying specific hardware to play one game.

  • Thanks. I wasn't sure based on the tagging.

    I've been looking for one forever. It's my main reason for not using Deadbeef. One exists, but it's only for Mac, for some reason.

  • The Trump administration is descending has descended into authoritarianism

  • Many modern devices can "float" between 110-220v as well as 50 and 60Hz.

    In practice, it means you don't need older style, larger adapters which actually change the voltage and frequency for you. You can just use the cheaper adapters which only change the plug.

    To be sure, just read the little print by the power area on whatever device(s) you're bringing. The ranges will be listed.

    Done it many times.

  • I'm still in the hate camp. To me, it looks like a Star Trek ship design made by a primary school student on a cafeteria napkin.

  • Do you have some kind of media library plugin for Deadbeef?

  • Jfc. They'll never learn. We really are all doomed.

    Just kidding. We were doomed already.

  • She sounds pretty dumb. Maybe someone smarter will take over the farm.

    • It only flies to Greenland.

    • The flight computer rambles on about someone trying to get inside when no one is around.

  • "Illegal"... hm... now that's a word I haven't heard for a long time.

  • I know people will quickly balk at this because people tend to balk at new taxes, tax changes, and anything happening in California.

    But it's a good idea. Driving electric should not get you out of paying for roads.

    The only way out of paying for roads should be not using them. And that bumps up demand for better public transit, which does substantially more to combat climate change than everyone driving electric cars.
