Their goal is to cause unrest so they have an excuse to cancel the midterms

You know, honestly? I didn’t do any like, testing to see how much impact each had. I just used some recommended settings like setting the kernel to PREEMPT and setting mitigations=no (this is a minor security risk, I am spectre vulnerable but this is a performance increase)

My CPU is very old and I have a newer graphics card, so I figured this would help but I didn’t do any concrete testing. Seems fine.

Edit: also I had to set my CPU governor to performance. Debian had it on some low-power default setting (forgot now) and this DID matter, a lot, way more than any kernel argument. I control it some other way than a kernel arg, tho

fwiw I’m running Debian 12 and had no issues getting steam to run, and all games I’ve tried run great (with a few exceptions but not many).

I really really wouldn’t recommend Debian as an OS for games. It’s a server/workstation OS. I use it because I like Debian, not because it’s a good idea.

I remember changing my grub config to pass arguments to the kernel for gaming performance. I bet you wouldn’t need to do this on a distro designed for gaming like Bazzite.

Oh ya I get that, but in general that’s what the phrase makes me think of.

I don’t like the phrase. It just feels bad, idk. If she put in effort to wear nice underwear for you, its probably one of many little details she put into your date. Idk. I’m kind of a prude.

It also kind of feels like something a dudebro might say later after he pressured his drunk date into something she didn’t want to do.

how do i stop the mind goblins

how do i. STOP the mind goblins

hhhhhhhhhhh

It’s also untrue.

Watch: Fuck

Much appreciated. Haven’t found any time to read anything, regrettably, but I have bookmarked your lists!

Part of the sign up process I went through was to copy a line from something Marx wrote (can’t remember now I’m a bad communist) to be approved for an account.

Maybe it wasn’t like that in the past but it was made clear in the sign up processs that the admins are ML communists and run their instance with those beliefs informing their moderation decisions.

He said, as he replied to everyone in the thread that he did not agree with.

Thank you for the thorough answer, this is what I was looking for.

Where do you draw the line?

I’m asking if its good or if its edgelord shovelware.

Have you played it?

So you’re saying this game is a work of art that will endure the ages? Worthy of hundreds of years of praise?

Horses, a first-person psychological horror adventure about “the burden of familial trauma and puritan values, the dynamics of totalitarian power, and the ethics of personal responsibility” set on a ranch where nude human beings in horse masks are treated as livestock.

Is this just a game for edgelords or is there something compelling under that mess of a description?

Edit: We don’t have to pretend every game is art - there’s crap out there. I’m asking if anybody thinks this thing has redeeming qualities based on actual information about the game, not hypotheticals.

Yeah but it seems they are being rented by people in plain clothes, as apparently several companies are already trying to refuse.

Seems to me (non-lawyer) like they can put out a form like “Are you renting this vehicle on behalf of a federal agency, or to accomplish work for a federal agency Y/N” and if the ICE agents lie on the form, the rental company can now sue the government for fraud. I imagine the individual ICE agent would also be in breach of contract or something.

I know someone who works for a federal agency (DOI, not DOJ/DOD) and they rent cars on behalf of the government frequently when they need to travel to accomplish their work (or they used to, in the before times). But they’re like, doing normal, non-reprehensible things with the car… not filling it up with detainees.

Why can’t they just pull over the vehicle, impound it, and have everything happen like it would with anyone else?

They can do both, and I imagine they probably will.

Idk what you mean “no significant features”. I definitely needed AI integration in notepad.exe.

You don’t need childcare if you’re childless

Childless person here. My partner and I had no ability to count on our families for childcare, or more basic things. Our choice to not have children was more about our (tenuous) mental health and lack of emotional support from family, but economics played a part too.

You are lucky to have support from someone who has good health and the ability to watch your kids (they are retired? None of my family can afford that)

Children aren’t some sort of luxury. Our poverty line should allow for people to afford children.

I don’t agree with all of this guy’s numbers but you absolutely should include the cost of children in the poverty line.

Tbf 1y coin is made out of aluminum, not copper. They float.

We would call them yennies. Its probably time to get rid of them, but I’ll be sad.

The 10000 yen note is obviously a yenjamin.

Haha no big deal. I don’t even read the article half the time either, too many ads, paywalls, etc

Donald Trump’s Education Department (ED) released a new rule to deny student loan forgiveness to people who work for LGBTQ+ organizations.

It is based on the nonprofit they work for, not their gender expression/sexuality. So, basically the administration can just decide if he doesn’t like the organization you work for, you’re screwed. Obviously wrong and messed up.

BTW that is the first sentence of the article. Seems like the people replying to you didn’t read it either.
