I use Linux and happened to just start playing on a private server. I also play Starcraft 2 from time to time.

There are three ways you can get it working:

1. Start the battle net launcher through Lutris. There is a launch profile you can download directly in Lutris to get it working.

2. Start the launcher through Steam. You may need to change the version of Proton in the compatibility options.

3. Start the launcher directly using Wine or WineTricks. This option is less user-friendly but will serve you in getting other Windows apps working on Linux.

The arguments against this are that old people pay taxes and should have their fair share of representation in government.

The problem here is that olds are going to nominate olds and the ideals of the young are being completely ignored, so the younger populations are not being fairly represented. The DNC and GOP are both putting their worst and oldest candidates forward.

All offices need an age cap of 65, and the Supreme Court justices need an age cap of 60 and have term limits of no longer than 5 years. Supreme Court justices should be nominated elected by the people to make sure they balance the needs of the people with the wants of the president.

With less than 1/10 of the money.

People on Reddit migrated to Lemmy. They are literally the same people. It is made worse by the fact that malicious individuals can now host instances instead of just Reddit (who tried to keep the bare minimum of public image).

To be fair, it is possible for idiots to get into the Supreme Court.

If an officer is doing the job they are expected to do then they shouldn’t have to worry about doxxing or their livelihoods.

I am responsible for gathering information on AI to determine whether we should use it for our next project. The ask was to use it for a critical process task. Immediately in my head I was like “no, we are not using AI at all”, but I obviously need quantifiable data. This is just another thing to add to my list of why using AI for core processes is one of the stupidest things you could ever do.

Then we had the 30% who had that ONE issue they couldn’t accept Harris for and decided not to vote which implies they are fine with Trump or with their mental gymnastics think they have the moral high ground by not voting for either.

He doesn’t have the authority to do a lot of things, but nobody is going to stop him.

The fun part is when you need to talk to HR you go to their website and it says “if you need to contact us reach out to your HR partner.” and doesn’t even give you a phone number or email.

Some people need synopsis reviews to fully understand what they watched. I use them all the time for things I have watched. If you make these things illegal, I will simply not consume your content anymore. There are plenty of other forms of entertainment to spend my money on.

Two notes about piracy that these Neanderthals keep failing to understand. If somebody pirates your content they likely weren’t going to pay for it anyway, and if somebody reads a synopsis they either weren’t going to consume your content or they already have and want to know more.

Piracy is a service problem. People pirate because you are not providing something they need. Instead of punishing people for being human, you should try and figure out what you are not providing and fix that instead.

With that said, the real point of the lawsuit is that the site operator profited with ads. That is a separate discussion.

Banks are hilarious. They use YOUR money to invest and make more money, then they have the audacity to give you paltry interest. Meanwhile they charge a percentage of a sale for processing that has a flat constant amount of processing power used. It costs them the same to process a $1 transaction and a $10,000,000, but they have the gall to charge 1.5% for both. Sure you can argue that the 1.5% is to cover overdrafts and nonpayment, but if you pay the bill in full you should be refunded the extra.

Not the worst idea I’ve seen. I imagine the increased air circulation would help prevent some cheese. Obviously this would not be for the people who like high dpi + high weight mice.

3. Because the company gets some tax breaks from the county by having asses in seats.
4. Related to 1, your boss made poor real estate decisions pre-covid and wants to recoup that loss.
5. Most CEOs are older and don’t want to understand the newer WFH dynamic.
6. Management does not trust the employees they hired.

The US music industry has always been bullshit, going all the way back to record labels. I would feel bad for the artists, but I don’t give two shits about the distributor who acts like they own the music and feels entitled to all monetary rewards for someone else’s work.

HR has always been the laziest bunch of fuckers in a company, so it is not surprising they want to use AI.

Some women are happy to give away all of their rights and live in slavery as long as it also hurts the right people.

Starcraft 2 is super fun as a randomizer in the RTS format, but I do want to see more done with that IP. The problem is, like you, I will never give Blizzard a single penny ever again.

I live in the US and I dont trust US companies with my data either. They either sell it or are handled by easily exploitable systems developed offshore in India.

So, in that sense I do not trust the US, China, India, or Russia with my data and avoid software developed in any of these places when feasibly possible.

Curious how the US tries to spread democracy externally when democracy has all but died internally.
