My so called blue state of California just voted against minimum wage increase, against rent control, against banning slavery, and for increasing the war on drugs. At least this time we narrowly voted to approve gay marriage (unlike last time where we banned it)

“It never happened to me personally so it must not be real” — this is the mindset that conservatives follow that leads to so much cruelty in the world

How often are you people screwing things up so badly that your servers aren’t reachable over the network and require keyboard/monitor access? This is basically only ever once for me for the initial OS install, and even then that can be automated away if I had to do it more than once every couple years

That’s like saying if you support gay rights protestors, you have to also support nazi protestors, or you’re being hypocritical. You’re looking at things on the wrong axis.

The streamers on twitch control how many ads you see. If it’s a huge amount, they opted into that. They get a small cut of the ad revenue

The big artists don’t fight this because they make more money under the status quo, and Ticketmaster takes all the heat and they can play victim while raking in the cash.

One of those games that seems extremely difficult until you learn the strategy, it is amazingly well balanced, small mistakes are the difference between win and loss

SpellRogue was fun for a bit but not sure it has staying power the way StS does.

The data on your console is just a url address that points at a Nintendo server. That server is going offline. So if we don’t get the url before it goes offline, we can’t download the url.

Home Assistant hates it if you install anything else on your server besides Home Assistant. Don’t even think about running other docker containers besides HA or you’ll get persistent nags and it’ll prevent you from updating without doing workarounds

Asks a sweeping general question

“A real 24bit flac takes longer to download than play” if you have dialup maybe. I don’t think you can even legally call it “broadband” if your internet is slower than a flac bitrate

They’ve all got cell phone modems in them essentially. They use LTE or whatever it’s called these days.

I’m confused, my comment is not valid because amazon is a hospital now?

Not wanting to pay 3% of all your sales to visa/Mastercard doesn’t make you a “front”

NTFS has symbolic links as well, I use them all the time
