Is this a shitpost? She is using discord.

Edit: I'm an idiot. This is literally a shitpost.

I have to say if I was one of the Pacific nations and I had to choose between China and Trump Gaza, I'd be looking quite seriously at China.

So what have these asshats been doing lately that they need good publicity to hide behind?

Our work is the opposite. As soon as a new machine arrives we go straight to BIOS at boot, switch the settings and install Linux immediately. Windows never sees the light of day. I do feel for you as we do do sales calls and in the middle of sales calls the people that we are calling have their computers reboot on them, do an update, or I've just got to restart and on restart it does an update and huge amounts of time are wasted on those people.

Windows probably costs the world millions a day in wasted, for time for shit like that.

I've blocked so so many. It can be tiring

Mystery solved. Thank you

TIL!

I spent about two years trying and giving up to get my fingerprint reader working on my X1 Carbon.

Then chat gpt comes out and I ask that how to do it.

It gives me a one-line bash / script thingy, and my fingerprint reader has worked ever since.

That was a pretty cool day.

The dive into fascism

this is a gen6 e14. Thank you. That's what I needed to hear. Turns out the intel has a bit more to it, will udpate my post. So undecided

Watercolour.

The way the pigment blends, and finds its own way.

Predictably unpredictable.

Dreamlike paintings, flowing, and seductive.

I'm smitten, and I'm terrible at it! Haha

They're such a lovely government.

Edit. Turns out it's legal.

"Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles stated on Thursday that the ships did not pose any threats and did not breach any maritime laws."

There ya go. Who'd have thought.

I've fooded after salt and before food in the past

Definitely. My response was probably a little glib.

Tools like this, that help people escape locked down systems are worth their weight in gold.

Just get a Kobo. Don't support Amazon surveillance

My son was born. I held him in my arms for the first time. As that happened, outside the window a massive fireworks display kicked off, along a nearby city river. It was that kind of moment. My boy in my arms. Fireworks, silent, but massive and beautiful, just for me. For us.

Exactly. It's a public service, not a business.

Got a retroid pocket 5.

Wish I'd done it years ago. Never had more accessible gaming.

And not just retro titles. Stardew Valley, modern metroidvanias, etc are amazing on it.

Definitely. I've written some small games. Gave them away free on the play store.

Lasted about 3 years tops before they were removed for not supporting X, Y and Z new features.

Shame. One of them had tens of thousands of downloads.

Tomb raider in 2d metrodivania would be cool.

Same with maybe Doom?
