52·3 days agoLITERALLY
It’s also why I’m excited about the Steam Machine despite not actually owning or wanting one. It gives a consistent benchmark upon which game developers can be judged, and hopefully further encourages Linux support.
If reviewers start consistently referencing Steam Machine performance, it’ll give developers something to optimize for instead of just optimizing for the latest, fastest hardware.
10·3 days agoDocker helps with software compatibility, SBCs with hardware.
The advantage of SBCs aren’t just the price, it’s the uniformity. Before SBCs made it on the scene, the default response when something doesn’t work was either:
“Well, it works on my 12-year-old Thinkpad”
Or
“Your system sucks, just buy better hardware”
Now there’s a consistent system to build compatibility for and benchmark against that can help the most people, allowing devs to spend time on things other than hardware, and allowing a “how-to” community to flourish, bringing new users into the fold.
Please let Hegseth be the GOP nominee, dude is practically radioactive for abusing troops and being a key player of the economic nightmare we find ourselves in.
8·4 days agoIDK why OP used it, but if I recall Pepe lore, the original creator was not happy about it being coopted by racist trash humans, so they probably(?) would approve of this post.
I could also have made all of that up.
8·4 days agoYeah, it does imply that, which is why they compared the top 3 oil companies to the top 3 environmental groups.
Together, Shell, Exxon, and Chevron spent $2.1 million on “social issue” ads on Facebook and Instagram between late July and late October 2026. In the same period, three of the top climate and environmental groups – the League of Conservation Voters, the Sierra Club, and Greenpeace – spent just over $846,000, less than half the amount spent by oil companies.
But also, it doesnt matter because they could have focused on Shell alone who outspent all three Climate groups combined
The office of the President has a press budget. They could easily give him a dumpster to shit in over at
whitehouse.gov, woulda made it harder to grift idiots though so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Look, I’m tired of Jefferies smug “I tweeted about it, what more do you want” face, but I do want to call out a bit of a hypocrisy I’m seeing here on Lemmy.
Theres a bunch of folks clamoring about how they want Democrats to focus on trying to fix things and not just waste time on impeachment, but then Jefferies says that’s what he’s gonna do and everyone is back to WHAT ABOUT IMPEACHMENT.
Personally I’m a fan of the walk and chew approach of doing both, but seeing a lot of people bickering about what Democrats should do for the next two years as if nothing they do will be sufficient.
For me, for now, I’m just glad we slowed the bleeding.
Reminder that gay marriage failed in California back in '08.
People will come around, but it takes time to overcome ignorance at this scale.
For now, it’s on all of us to do what we can to support the community and highlight how these injustices impact real people - hate thrives on ignorance.
81·6 days agoThe reason impeachment is even in discussion is because we have a president who would rather burn the country down while blaming the Democrats, than compromise.
Hell, compromise is even the wrong word, they could pass the “Trans ban tax cut deregulation super bill” and he would still veto it out of spite.
Without presidential support or a super majority, Democrats main tools are investigations and impeachments. If anything, that gives them leverage or a shot at getting someone into the Oval Office not obsessed with retribution.
Republicans in both chambers could take a hint and help pass things without the president, but it’s more likely they’re doing the political calculus and coming to the decision that resisting Democrats passing popular bills is the best shot they have at the GE in 2 years ago they can say “See, the blue wave was useless and Democrats can’t govern.”
This isn’t me pre-appologizing for Democrat inaction, it’s the reality of how our political system works - having a simple majority in one of the three beaches of government isn’t free reign to do whatever you want.
3·6 days agoMy home loan is less than that and it already hurts to pay every month. With a second big loan, I’d have to declare bankruptcy.
Now if this is a gift of free money - I’d pay off that damn home loan so it’s one less thing to worry about. Remaining balance on the $1M would probably get invested in the hopes that I could push forward my retirement by a couple of decades.
5·6 days agoThis doesn’t at all answer your question, but Handbrake has always frustrated me by being aggressively opaque.
Like if you’re not trying to encode something to run on an iPod Nano from 2007, the presets are all arbitrary and wacky, and it gives you very little control over the underlying commands.
I GREATLY prefer StaxRip. It strikes the right balance for transparency, automation, and configuration for me. Closest thing to working with commands from scratch, without all of the headache. Only downside is it’s only built for Windows.
It works with Edge on Windows 11
El-Sayed Hates Jews and Hates Blacks!
… Is he trashing El-Sayed or is he trying to get his supporters to vote blue?
35·7 days agoHonestly would be a fun character build with the right DM.
A cursed rock that talks to you and demands sacrifices. After being thrown returns to your inventory in 6 seconds (start of your next turn)
Could do fun things like player can cast spells through the rock like a familiar.
Yes and no, mostly no, but it’s open to interpretation.
Short version, he bragged about not voting for Harris, with the nuance (which is so easily lost in today’s society) that she was all but guaranteed to win California, so his protest vote did not, on it’s own, risk contributing to Donald Trump’s second term.
The flip side of that nuance is that his rhetoric about the subject, without the additional context, may discourage voting in swing states, which could help Trump/Republicans in a much more significant way than just not voting for Harris in California.
His follow-up statements clarified his stance, including the quote I provided.
His behavior overall was messy, but that quote holds up nicely on its own.
I post climate articles I find interesting rather indiscriminately probably 70/30 downer/upper, but the engagement I see in terms of upvotes/comments is probably 90/10 downer/upper.
I’m saying this because I dont think there’s a dirth of positive content, it’s just not being encouraged to flourish.
Be the change you want to see in the world and upvote/comment on positive content. Even silly affirmations help things float up the algowall.
If you want to take things further, post positive and organic content! Adopt a community and make it your goal to add something to it every week - start growing the positive culture you want. It’ll feel rough to start because you likely won’t get any engagement, but keep at it so folks know its okay for them to share as well.
