Having kids makes you think differently. It makes you think about longer term plans, and immediate plans. It makes you yearn for stability. It makes you more succeptible to scare tactics. It makes you less likely to rock the boat.

It made me personally accept shittier situations personally (work) for the percieved benefit of ensuring stability for my baby. You can imagine how that extrapolates across an authoritarian society.

Even knowing it would probably be fine to advocate for myself, to push for what I deserved; knowing that it was purely biology pushing me to make the choice, I still picked percieved stability. I just couldn’t bring myself risk being fired.

Counter-intuitevely, we think of parents as being primed to defend their children from any and all attacks and threats. That works monkey to monkey, but at scale, it breaks down. Being parents makes both men and women more vulnerable.

As for immediate effect: I’d be a lot easier to coerce if you had access to my family.

Edit: It also makes you busy as fuck. Ain’t nobody got time for nothin’ when they have a kid. Certainly not for uncertain outcomes, like resistance groups or political disident work

One day, I’m sure there will be a defcon talk about reprogramming powerbanks to fry devices.

I found a copy of 1995’s ‘Desktop Toys’ on archive.org, and ran it on linux with wine literally yesterday.

Windows 11 has an incompatability with 32 bit progams apparently.

I see your point, but I think we’re in better shape than you estimate.

That said, we could always be in bettar shape, and as more is created, the less complete archives can be.

According to Cory Doctorow, Rupert Murdoch owned newspapers have made over 100 editorials attempting to smear Lina Khan at the FTC. A cursory google search seems to corroborate this assertion.

I’m inclined to agree that there’s nothing ‘election year’ about these cases, and that real work is being done to claw back some measure of control from these monopolies.

You’re power hungry, selling soldiers in a human grocery store

I got a Slimbook executive 14 (spanish company), which is identical to Tuxedo’s infinity book pro 14.

Loving it so far! Not helpful on the vram front though.

The only thing that might do it ( assuming you want thin and light) would be a razer blade with a 3000 series nvidia they must be fully compatible with linux, otherwise their lambda labs tensorbook collaboration wouldn’t work.

People really don’t understand just how invasive this is. At that point, if it was programmed to, it could pretend to obey your uninstall directive, while actually overriding your attempts to uninstall the game.

Squad has this problem for the first 5 mins in the pregame bit before you can leave the base.

Most of the interactions I’ve had after that period have been pretty positive

Hell yeah. Every one of these threads makes me more inclined to read man pages

And a treasure map

Seems likely! Not me, but my experience mirrors it pretty closely

It’s roughly the same. I never used the tabbing features, so I can’t comment. But until wayland came along, it was always there for me, working away just fine.

Thirded, foot for me!

I wanted to love it, but I keep getting crashes in mixed dpi environments on wayland.

I moved to foot instead. Bare bones, but unobtrusive enough. Shame the scrollbar is jank.

I love VR. I have so many hours in some of the slower paced fps titles that it’s almost matched my video game time total for non-vr games on steam.

The one thing I learned for sure is that I don’t want anyone else telling me when I have to put on the headset and when I’m allowed to take it off.

Never will wear a vr headset in the workspace.

He could do with a few more.

How does that work for broadcasts from your device, designed to prompt beacons from dorman aps you might have joined before? Once you join it provides a random mac, but before then?

I did exactly that, albeit with a 3rd of your hiatus. I want to play it every moment I get - I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

I’m right there with you, but I also remember hearing that this time last decade.

And here’s why!
