The Galveston one is kind of interesting. The guy ran on eliminating the position. He’s not taking the salary. There are several other counties that have gotten rid of the position. It reads like a department consolidation rather than a downsizing in terms of personnel.

GPL says you can sell the software for whatever price you want too. I could take any piece of sodtware licensed under GPLv3, bundle it up, charge people for that software (while telling them that what I am selling them is GPLv3 software and informing them that they can request a copy of the source code including any modifications that I have made to it). That’s totally fine. But why would someone pay for the software if the seller is not adding any value to to product? cough windows app store cough

Disagrees with whatever administration is in office. You can’t be short sighted with SCOTUS decisions. The Justices aren’t.

There was slant for a bit. Turned out to not be as reactive to market distributions.

Stack exchange has some good stuff going for it.

The browser add-ons for redirecting to old.reddit are doing good work. Best add-ons 2023

I fired up Horizon Zero Dawn by clicking play. Which is wild compared to back when I tried to understand wine for Word back on 12.04. Super slick! Ubuntu 23.04 with Steam flatpak.

You don’t. I had a few issues because I’m not using LTS. There were just enough differences that the flatpak was the way that worked easily.

Arch has some serious pull with the wiki being nicely fleshed out for gaming. Ubuntu works great. The hardest part is enabling flatpak to get Steam.

The DoD has a list of approved drone companies now. Some have similar features of distance sensors and such. Others try to cut costs a bit or put the money else where such as nicer motors or better GPS. Some of them even run the open source autopilot Ardupilot. https://www.diu.mil/blue-uas-cleared-list

If those DoD options don’t seem to be the right fit, there are still many commerical off the shelf options that use Ardupilot (no calling home at all) or PX4. No calling home, and (with Ardupilot at least) you’ll be able to update the firmware on your own. This can gain you bug fixes and new features without waiting on the company.

If those don’t seem to have what you are looking for, we’re down to DIY! Which is fun in its own way. There have been a ton of advancements in the DIY space since DJI became more mainstream. Lots of cool frame options and some very powerful processors by comparison to DJI.

I’ll leave a link to the Ardupilot and PX4 docs which list a lot of information about the last 2 options. https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-rtf.html https://docs.px4.io/main/en/complete_vehicles/

People are buying land in Alaska for future vineyards.

It’s not the most feature rich video editor. There are other options. It’s a capable software/hammer than I reach for often whenever something resembles a nail.

Wine or a KVM might be options. Blender can do everything except the transcription. There’s probably other software or a plugin that can do that.

The original intent from the Constitution was that the winner was president and the second place was vice president. Since the vice president also is the tie breaking vote in the Senate, that doesn’t sit very well with the president. So they changed it to the running mate system.

The group your talking about would essentially be the cabinet? Right? They get approved by Congress. So indirect approval by the people.

If a party receives 5% of the popular vote, they start to receive funding from the FEC. That hasn’t happened in a while for a third party.

VRR (Gsync module at least) works on Ubuntu 23.04 for sure. It’s a bit limited though, but it is improving. I was able to get it working by only having one monitor plugged in and running the game in full screen (not windowed). The arch wiki has a very nice write up of the current state. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Variable_refresh_rate

Maybe the Koch brothers really like Yellowstone and asked for a whole program focused on that National Park.

I think that’s in Fort Worth, right? I saw the little one when it was about half that height. Did you stop by the cats?

They made a forum feature. Heck I’ve used slack at work as a sort of community knowledge base. Discord does have some features thread conversations for topics.
