Every accusation is an admission.

Weird, I found the Arch-based one once but now I can't find it. Everything keeps pointing me back to that page...

EDIT: All I can find now is HoloISO - which seems to be in a reasonable place, I guess.

I've been wondering for a little while now if WinApps will work for gaming. It uses a VM in the background but, supposedly, has a "native" experience. Thoughts?

You can also install SteamOS which is literally what the Steam Deck runs.

EDIT: Disregard, I can't read.

My understanding is that running most of BlueSky is possible on small to moderate hardware. However, running all of BlueSky requires basically cloning 100% of all the content on BlueSky (which, as of Nov 2024, was ~5 TB).

So, like, yes, one can run part of BlueSky or a clone of BlueSky which has none of the main instance's user's content without much trouble, but actually running an entire BlueSky stack is eventually going to become cost prohibitive.

I found this write-up to be enlightening on the subject.

Ah, yes, let's make the already illegal thing even more illegal. As if that ever stopped anyone...

Kurzgesagt made a video that I think is related to this. I found it rather enlightening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuFlMtZmvY0

We don't do that here

Unless you live in California, they kinda do.

I use uMatrix (uBlock's big brother), so sites that do this generally lose first-party JS privileges real fast.

Have you met these people IRL or online? Most of the people I've met online do fall into one of those two buckets, but almost nobody I've met IRL does.

I would assume this is selection bias before attributing it to some other thing. The kinds of circles you run in are going to heavily affect this.

I read a decent rebuttal to the "paradox" of tolerance. To summarize for those that don't know, the idea is that tolerance is a social contract. You tolerate everyone that's behaving according to the contract. Refusing to tolerate someone that has broken the contract isn't a violation of the contract; it's required in order to enforce the contract.

You break the rules, you lose the protections. Simple as.

NASA gives SpaceX fat government paychecks. He doesn't want anything to happen to them.

The 22nd amendment to the US Constitution bars Trump as a viable candidate for the Office of the President. It would require an additional amendment to be possible and there's no way that 3/4ths of all US states will agree to that shit.

The only potential loophole that I can discern is that there's no clear consensus on if Trump would be allowed to run as Vice-President on someone else's ticket. If he can, then, theoretically, he could run for VP and then have the elected President immediately resign, making him the President again.

Best I can do is cyber-psychosis and some shit from 10 years ago

And what are the chances that the Democrats have learned their lesson and will pivot to a more progressive candidate for the next election cycle?

Exactly zero. The rich people in the DNC benefit just as much from the conservative agenda as any other rich asshole. Not being in power is completely irrelevant to their interests, as far as I can tell.

Unless and until Donnie makes good on his threats to imprison/murder his political opponents, none of them will give a single fuck that leftist didn't want to vote for them because they weren't left enough.

LAMP is a programming stack used by a couple fediverse projects. It usually stands for "Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP"; the primary components in the stack, though Perl or Python sometimes replace PHP.

Well, maybe you should put them in the second place. 😛

Protip: when you're looking for something and you find it, don't put it back where you found it. Put it in the first place you looked.

If the planes had entered sovereign airspace, sure. They synopsis says the Russians were flying in international airspace, which usually means it's not under the sovereign control of any nation and the Latvians would have had no basis to fire on the Russians.

Personally, I'd love to see the Russians try to stunt their way into someone's airspace and get dick slapped for it, but I doubt that would happen.
