A lot of those places suck and they’re not going to turn into vibrant cultural centers with social services quickly.

I played GW1 back when it was new. I remember it being a lot harder than gw2, but I might’ve just been bad at it. Gw2 is very forgiving though.

No luck for me:

Not finding a lot of hits online for this problem. I think updating glibc can be kind of dicey?

Does Japan not have the fervent anti intellectualism that we have in the US with our right wing? And it’s not in bed with racism to fuck public education together?

I bought a fancy desktop PC recently so I’m not in the market. Otherwise I would consider it, but only if the desktop environment was usable for general computing. I believe it is, but I’m not sure if its version of Linux would be best for like software development.

Give him the ability to divest his wealth first.

Gop is like a clock where only the minute hand is stopped and the hour hand is flapping all over. Sometimes it’s kind of correct, but not for the bigger picture.

Looks interesting. I didn’t really like convergence when I tried it, and the randomizer wasn’t as fun as I hoped for me.

It says it’s easy to install too, even on Linux. Anyone done so?

I think that’s the one I have. They don’t make them like they used to. The Logitech controller I had in like 2008 lasted for ten years. The new one’s right shoulder button stopped working after like two.

The good news is they honored their warranty and sent me a new one for free.

But then the left joystick stopped going all the way up+left.

But then honored the warranty again! That one is still kicking.

So the lesson is: keep your receipt if you buy Logitech.

Edit: it works fine on Linux (pop!_os) too.

I think a lot about the guy I worked with that said he was going to Palantir. We were like “but what if they have you doing awful things?” He was like, big shrug. He was always friendly to people in the office, but I guess that’s as far as it went.

Have you talked to a lot of tech workers? I feel like there’s a set of left wing ones, a larger set of libertarian types, and an even larger set of people who are shockingly ignorant of politics and history.

Several of my friends are non technical and just put up with the ads. I guess they never thought there was another way

That’s capitalism for you. The owners get all the profits. The people doing the actual labor get a salary, which is as low as possible.

This should be a climate crime and the management responsible forced to pick up trash or some other appropriate punishment

There’s that bit in Baldur’s gate 2 where some NPCs decide they can take you on, die, and then reload the game.

How new is your computer?

I found Pop!_OS worked out of the box fine on my new desktop.

Mint had problems, but worked fine on my older computers.

Back up any important software (like, on a separate drive or online). Get a couple flash drives. Try out mint, popos, bazzite. They’re all free so it doesn’t matter that much if you don’t like one.

I don’t recommend trying to dual boot on one drive because windows is a rude room mate.

I think it would be pretty funny if jesus did return and cast all these rich assholes into the lake of fire. Because they fucking deserve it.

What are people ordering so much of from amazon? I apparently haven’t ordered from them since late 2024, and those were a handful of small orders.

Went to protests, volunteered for better candidates, tried to get other people involved. The bare minimum, perhaps, but more than another run of Baldur’s gate 3.

My current plan is to wait for my basic coworkers to have kids, and those kids to be old enough to ask “what did you do in the 2020s to fight fascism?”. They’ll lie and say they did a lot, and I’ll burst through the wall to shout “NO THEY DIDN’T. THEY DID SHIT. THEY STAYED HOME AND PLAYED VIDEO GAMES. YOUR DADDY IS A COWARD”.

Hopefully somehow this will result in my coworkers dying alone and unloved in a pit of shame or something.

But the reality is their egos are indestructible and they will always think they’re good people, and their kids will probably be the same.
