Journalists don’t seem to know how to report on politics when people are not acting in good faith. Why assume that Republicans stated motivations are genuine at this point? Republicans know that they will always be given the benefit of the doubt by the media and that their radical messages will be transmitted directly to their supporters and then sanitized and normalized when repeated by other media outlets.

Not anymore.

Yeah, I was using mine right up until they took it away from me. Now I use bluetooth or my chromecast, both which have their own problems.

Get the government off the backs of the great American people

And into their bedrooms, pants, classrooms, libraries and everything else… apparently.

When did ‘rootkit’ come to be a generic term for invasive software? Rootkits are a specific type of thing.

Ideally houses would have ceiling drops for Ethernet. Consumers are getting all these wireless mesh networks that cause more problems than they solve.

On the Steam Deck, ‘game mode’ runs in exclusive fullscreen mode without the KDE desktop environment. I’m not an expert, but I think the gamemode desktop environment is specifically tuned to the Steam Deck hardware and isn’t something that you can just replicate on your own hardware.

I really want to test this though, I’d love to build a ‘Steam Console’ running on standard x86 desktop hardware running Linux that launches directly into Steam.

I think the big cost savings on PC come from a lack of subscription fees. Plus a huge variety of storefronts to choose from so prices tend to be low. Games get cheap fast if you wait a little bit.

It’s pretty easy to match console performance with a budget PC, but it definitely isn’t as easy. I can’t wait until I can pause/resume games on my desktop like I can on the Steam Deck. Huge quality of life feature.

Having Generative AI make API calls on your behalf is a work in progress across pretty much every industry. It’ll make complex tasks across multiple services a lot easier but it’s definitely going to cause weird unpredictable behavior too.

It won’t matter when she loses the nomination. She’ll probably be his VP though and then it’s a real shit show.

Republicans brag about passing laws that they voted against. I think Biden is allowed to toot his own horn a little bit when it comes to fulfilling campaign promises as best he can with this Supreme Court.

The amazing and perfect Republican healthcare plan is just two weeks away.

The rules around pardons are incredibly vague. Presidents have typically treated them vary seriously and used them sparingly. Then Trump saw it as an opportunity to make some cash and do favors for his cronies who committed crimes to help him.

Young disillusioned men who don’t think they are getting the respect they deserve fantasize about a submissive wife and family that they can rule over as a Patriarch. They think that this is more natural or normal than marriage as a partnership of equals.

How people feel about the economy in the three months leading up to the election is still the largest indicator of whether the incumbent will win or not.

That’s what makes me nervous every time congress punts on the budget. Republicans will be happy to tank the economy and hope that people blame Biden for it.

“When a President does it, it is not illegal.”

This seems redundant. We already knew that the hackers were all furries.

If you live in town, even in a very rural area you typically going to have at least one, maybe two options for decent internet even if the cost might be absurd compared to areas with more competition. The further you stray out of town though, your options might disappear entirely leaving you with options like satellite internet or mobile hotspots.

When my mom was teaching through Covid she had at least 2 or 3 students in class (class size varying between 15-25 students) that either had no internet at home or their internet was not sufficient to handle a video call.

Pass phrases for the passwords you have to type by hand, automatically generated passwords for the things that can autofill from a password manager, MFA for everything that supports it.

Anything less or any password reuse is just asking for trouble.

It’s worth it as a quarantine zone for MAGA losers. Though Twitter is determined to become the same right wing safe space.
