Refurbished Refurbisher

Actually, the thing that is causing me stress is also my source of joy.

I quit weed last week. Going through withdrawals which are pretty bad, but I know in the long term, it’s going to be worth it to have a clear mind.

I don’t think GSM changes the render resolution of the game, but only the output resolution.

At least that was my experience when I tried it last over a decade ago.

You should also try date molasses. You can find it at basically any Arab market.

They need to operate out of a different country that respects human knowledge even at the expense of corporations’ profits. What exactly that country is, I have no clue.

But yeah. In the short term, moving out of a fascist country to basically anywhere else is a good idea for them.

Israelis and Jews in general have been victims of a massive pro-genocide propaganda campaign from the Israeli government for many, many years now. Not everyone buys into the propaganda, though.

Kind of similar dehumanizing rhetoric as we’re seeing in America right now when it comes to immigrants and trans people or the cold war rhetoric of the past when it came to Russians.

There are no winners in war (except for banana companies).

I’d also like to know. Carmack, unlike most tech bros, is actually intelligent. I wouldn’t have taken him to be a Nazi, especially since one of the games that made him rich was about killing Nazis.

People missed it because they chose to “not pay attention to politics”, leading to right wing indoctrination.

Turns out everything is political.

Your password shows up to me as ************

I write it in plaintext then email it to myself. For my email password, I write that down on a sticky note next to my monitor with my webcam pointing towards it with Skype and Zoom always running so I can look at it when I’m not at home. I always make sure to turn 2FA off as well, since that gets annoying and isn’t very convenient.

I might choose to mirror the webcam stream to a public RTMP stream later, but not sure yet, since I think that might open up some security holes.

There actually is a “hypervisor OS” called QubesOS, but it is not for the faint of heart. It’s not exactly difficult to set up or use for basic tasks, but stuff like passing through hardware is more on the advanced side of things. I wouldn’t personally recommend it unless you really enjoy tinkering or if you need max data isolation.

Eternity

Infinity was my favorite Reddit app and I saw that Eternity existed, so I switched to it the moment it releasedits first alpha. I see no reason to use anything else unless it breaks and is no longer maintained.

Jim Keller is now working on one. I kind of doubt it will be FOSS, though.

I’ve been using GMail in K-9 Mail for years. Maybe you’re thinking of OAUTH 2 support?

The system is the problem here, because it incentivizes these kinds of corporations to do these things.

So by the very nature of capitalism, all corporations.

When you have a boss “ruling over” a worker, that is just barely different than living as a serf. The difference here is you can choose your boss, but inherent in the system is that workers don’t earn the full value of their work (surplus value), otherwise it wouldn’t be worth it for the owner class to hire anyone.

Worker-owned cooperatives are pretty cool, though. Would be nice if all corporations were forced to be worker-owned.

Literally everything is a red flag in this post. Stay far away from this person.

I personally think you need to take some time off dating in general (both women and men) to really figure out what you want (not just sexually or romantically, but what you want a relationship to be). Don’t let other people influence that. Dating out of lonliness is a great way to get stuck on the receiving end of an abusive relationship. You need to be comfortable with and love yourself before it is possible to be in a healthy relationship. It is a lot of work to do so, but it is absolutely worth it in the end.

Also unrelated, but make sure you stay far away from drugs. They will make not just this situation, but every situation worse.

Not having fully functional Vulkan is going to make gaming on Linux a real pain. WINED3D (DX to OpenGL) works well enough nowadays, but DXVK and vkd3d-proton (DX to Vulkan) is where the real magic is.

With Vulkan, very low level programming is possible, which means translation layers and HLE emulators benefit a lot in terms of accuracy and speed.

I would strongly recommend upgrading your hardware if at all possible, not just because of performance, but because of up-to-date Vulkan driver support. AMD GPUs work best on Linux. Avoid Nvidia if you can, but if you literally can’t get anything else, it will also work. Modern Intel should also be fine, but not as mature as AMD.

If you really want to run games on these computers, you will need to force enable WINED3D via an environment variable, either in Steam, or in whatever launcher you’re using.

There is a fork of Proton designed specifically for old GPUs. I would use this if you absolutely cannot upgrade: https://github.com/pythonlover02/Proton-Sarek

Yeah, the fact that Russia is so red in this picture leads me to believe that something is off when it came to collecting the data. Russia doesn’t exactly have freedom of speech, for instance.

Good to know, but I also know nothing about Songtradr.

If they hold the copyright to their own music (basically, if they’re not signed to a label), they can distribute it wherever they want.

Isn’t Bandcamp owned by Epic Games?
