Ah yes, open threats leveraging intentional division, like a true leader

A fine wine, emphasis on the fine

Gen Z / alpha: “fix the computer? Do you mean the phone?”

Still running Pop on my desktop years later, exactly because of this. It’s stable and I like it. The only thing I don’t like is that it’s Pop.

And yet, all my laptops (which I don’t really rely on) run Arch.

I don’t disagree about archiving. Though for a local collection, I think the space savings of AV1 are worth it.

Especially for grainy footage, which is extra costly in h265. The noise analysis and synthesis in AV1 is killer, IMHO. But of course… it’s not the same noise.

Not only is everything smaller, but the codec looks better. Compression artifacts when AV1 is really pushing it at lower bitrates are more like… pointillism? They resemble grain instead of the fuzzy squares you can get with 264 or 265, and it is especially better in dark scenes.

This. Businesses running leaner and leaner to comical levels so the C-suite can make more profit. It’s not my problem if they’re too shortsighted because of the dollar signs – my vacation time is a necessary component of my employment agreement and my compensation.

They cover the tiny hands

The party of small government sure likes to put its meat gloves into corporate decisions lately

Shocking image

Who is paying her legal team?

Because the gerrymandering exists exactly so opposition votes don’t matter.

What if she was buddies with the President of the United States?

Is this enough evidence to say that MAGA is running purely on accelerationism at this point?

(If you are a USian) your conservative dad should probably know that corporate tax rates in the US were as high as 52% in the 1950s. Imagine the social programs that could be paid for which such things.

Most of the people who say they want to go back to the 1950s for political reasons don’t mean it. They just want to cherrypick certain things and claim everything used to be better. As with anything, there’s a lot of extra details, but I’d be willing to bet that a lot of these folks want the casual racism but not the taxes.

Nearly always suspend. It just works for me and I’ve never had issues (Arch and Pop). I rarely, rarely have power outages so the end result is the same.

Yes. And it’s just hypocrisy all the way down: otherwise, as you say, we wouldn’t hear anything negative about the left exercising right to protest.

On top of r/conservative is a post about “the algorithm” flooding someone’s feed with news about US protests. Of course, the response wasn’t “hey great! Look at all those people exercising their right to free speech!”. Instead, it’s just bitching and claims of fake news (and no understanding that there really may be significant protests right now – just automatically, they must be false). There is no logic for people who can no longer discern facts from opinions.

It never left. Using it still makes you look like an asshole.

All these “free speech absolutists” still don’t realize that free speech does not mean immunity from consequences of that speech from your fellow citizens. It’s almost like they just haven’t paid attention for their entire lives.

Abraham had sex with his (wife’s) slave Hagar to produce Ishmael – and both Hagar and Ishmael were then exiled after Abraham was able to conceive with his wife and produce Isaac.

Certainly not the kind of values I’d want for my family.

When the rich people are now questioning the other rich people, you know shit isn’t exactly going to plan.

At least not the plan some of the rich thought they were getting. They forgot to factor in the incompetence.
