There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

  • I read the aricle as this falls on the House's procedures for hiring, that her team followed and trusted. Meaning that if there was one, there can be others acively serving as security right now for any representative.

    Given everything else federal that's been gutted, this isn't a big surprise.

    What indication did you see that this was just about her team?

  • How does he do Sleepy Joe and yet be so powerful? It's unpossible!

  • That's because the President has no control over gas price changes. Even when he bombs the shit out of a small country.

  • I'll bet Republicans are far better at holding the line than Democrats. Right, Chuck?

  • Don't Look Up is more fitting as a documentary of our times. In lots of ways.

  • A number of weeks ago I noted that one app I use through Lutris for the various settings needed had stopped loading. So I did a lot of looking around to figure out what was going on (didn't know it was Lutris, I searched mention of issues with the app, with Wine, etc.)

    Finally ran across a bug report in the Lutris github that sounded like my problem. And part of it was how slow some updates filter out, so I ended up doing an uninstall from the manager and manually forcing an update. And all is good now.

    I wonder if the bug was AI driven (don't even recall what it was, it was a small update that broke things for some people).

    Great to know I should probably expect more fires later. I probably need to see if I can make this app run on my own in Wine. A shame, it's working fine as is. But I need to be ready.

  • Had a C-64 version of it. Not quite as many windows, larger grid. Same objective: bring peace to the galaxy. One photon torpedo at a time. :D

    A friend had a game on their TRS-80, same concept, but zero Trek references.

  • Why DID is the correct phrasing? And there were reasons then. More bad than good, but that's the advantage of being first, then biggest.

    Why trust them now? It's not trust when it's what's embedded everywhere, required by most large companies. The licensing that was Microsoft's key into everything became dependency. And dependencies can be broken, but that takes time and effort. There's been movement...

    If they keep doing this Co-pilot shit, they'll be helping the cause.

  • I feel the pain anytime I look at a video outside of my browser. So if it becomes where I can't find a workaround, then I'll just have to go elsewhere. And there will be other places. There are other places, it's just hard to get people to not go to or be on the big one. Push people hard enough, they'll leave.

  • What's old is new again. I'm pretty sure I've heard some recent baby names that I would place more in the turn of the 20th century. Reusing older, creating totally new, or taking known names and spelling them oddly. They'll all have critics.

  • Aside from the several good twists, what gets me about this story is thinking about the scale of time. If a normal person likely can't remember what meal they ate last year on this date, imagine that x1000 (and more). Such a great concept.

  • Deep Thought: "LOL"

  • "AI slop" or just "slop" has already broadened its definition to mean anything you don't like or agree with. Think of it as the modern "r/thathappened" or "photoshopped".

  • When you're being raped and forced to do things, you do what you have to do.

  • Joining the conservative Republican party that has been there for a while.

  • Nobody knew war was so complicated. Nobody!

  • Fired because of stuff she's been doing, or stuff she hasn't been doing?

    Noem repeatedly suggested the president was aware of the campaign and signed off on it.

    Oh, that makes sense. Fired for a petty reason by the hurt snowflake in charge.

  • I love how people fight over what's the better editor. I just use whatever makes sense for the time, and it's not always the same one. But if you're happy with just one of them and can make it work for you in any situation, then you do you. That's the point of Linux, or so I thought.
