Do you have a link to that video of the tanker dropping water? I haven't come across that and am having trouble finding it.

Bribe. The word the editor was looking for here is “bribe“.

Well, I hope you have a terrible new year then.

Mostly everybody else out there (you know who you are), I hope you have a happy New Year!

If you want to see a good modern take on an RTS, check out Mechabellum.

Once Jassy took over as CEO, there was a slow march of the executives and board abandoning the Leadership Principles and data driven values that made Amazon the beast it is today.

Amazon has left the growth phase of their business and is now in value extraction mode, which means they have to enshittify everything, treat their educated staff like shit, and charge more for all of it.

So glad to be done with that shit hole.

Just an HMD. He's largely a sim pit VR user.

Samsung Odyssey w/ GTX 2060.

He's using Monando built with Envision without the steamvr-monado Plugin because "it slows everything down".

I have a friend that regularly games in VR in Linux. Admittedly, he's always faffing around with it to make it work. But he's also a bit of a chaotic person that runs Arch, so that could just be him and not a failing of the current level of support.

Time & effort. Everything that you do means something else doesn't get done. Whether that be gaming with friends or an item off your project/chore list.

We know that gaming centric distros are great for getting up & running, but it's still a time sink, and will require effort. Not everybody has a backup drive with their games and will have to re-download everything too. There's also a risk their favorite game isn't compatible with Linux

Windows 10 also works just fine. I still have it on 2 of my 4 computers (2/5 if you count my Deck), and haven't switched those over yet because I'm being lazy on one and the other is a perfect candidate for the SteamOS UX experience since it's a HTPC. However, I have done some looking around at other HTPC experiences and just haven't pulled the trigger. Which will be awesome, since Windows did away with their HTPC UX years ago.

I haven't run across a game that hasn't run on The Deck yet. I know it's capable of running quite a lot, but I got it to play indie games. It's been great and does what I want it to do phenomenally. Additionallh if I ever wanted to do something more demanding on it, I could.

Die Hard is not a Christmas movie!

Die Hard is a Christmas Eve movie.

It was only a few months ago this tool was complain about how dangerous the homeless were @ the San Fran Twitter HQ.

Why do people like BlueSky/Twitter for sharing long-form information?

That is such a terrible way to convey that much information. The continuation of posting every half-scroll is so jarring and made it harder to follow.

$50 on Musk calling everybody pedophiles when they reject his proposal that's full of issues.

Like everything, including water?

Yeah, but all they heard were campaign ads. And what little news they did hear either is actually propaganda that came from Fox News or their local news that's actually part of Sinclair.

That combined with the shenanigans of social media the last few years, yep, low information voters only wind up hearing the lies they were meant to hear.

But they don't. They just formm small communities and slowly work their way back up to power.

Might take 50+ years, but it'll happen again and again until crushed out.

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."

And the dude next to me says, "hey i'm not doing anything, i'm a paying customer." and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, "out. now." and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed

Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, "you didn't see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them."

And i was like, ohok and he continues.

"you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it's always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

And i was like, 'oh damn.' and he said "yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people."

And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven't forgotten that at all.

It's pretty common in NY state and other areas of New England. Outside of that area however, the term is rarely used outside of shopping centers, apartment complexes, or HOA governed planned housing communities.

You can also use the workflow_dispatch execution pattern and use some data input params and execute through the portal interface.

However, do be careful about trusting input params without sanitizing them (GH has docs around this).

I'm glad that Bluesky is seeing a boost in user registration and X is loosing users. Great news for the fediverse, even though Bluesky is fediverse-lite.

However, the editor that chose that headline should be fired.

The ambiguous wording and lack of commas for the "of unhappy x users" probably boosts engagement though. So I guess TechCrunch's bottom line gets boosted and they'll get praise instead.
