I believe the FairPhone is pretty solid.

Depends on what the deployment is, if it is just airstrikes or even limited ground operations, no reason for it to be a forever war.

Note: I have made zero statements about that being something I would support.

from a, a coworker and b, a manager

A coworker and a manager at your company gave you advice about your job?

If that is the case, you should take it seriously. Make sure you know why they think their suggestion is better than what you are doing. You don’t know everything, there is a darn good chance they are trying to make you better at your job.

If it isn’t about your job, you should still make sure you know why they think their suggestion is better than what you are doing. Other people do know things you don’t.

I normally just cut it in half and scoop out the insides. Peeling one of those is a PITA.

No penny pincher is still buying food at McDonald’s. That place is expensive as fuck.

Exactly, they will use nickles. It’s a non-problem.

Heroic with GOG works great on Linux. Why wait?

Option 1: When you go to their website for the flathub link, it takes you to a download for a .flatpakref file. Dowload that and run it. It will open the Software Manager to the gopher64 entry. If it isn’t opening with the software manager for some reason, tell it to open .flatpakref files with the Software Manager.

Option 2: Search for gopher64 in the Software Manager.

Gotta wonder what just parking all these gas guzzlers on the south side of the Equator is costing us.

This is a really weird criticism in an article about a nuclear-powered carrier.

Customers have roundly rejected game streaming. If streaming is the only way to play a game, that game will see a colossal hit in sales. This won’t be acceptable to companies trying to make money.

Protip for the room: Use a password manager with a unique password for every service. Then when one leaks, it only affects that singular service, not large swaths of your digital life.

Why did ICE arrest a US citizen?

FTA: the 32-year-old “exited his vehicle wielding a hammer and threw rocks at law enforcement while he had a child in his car”

Were they supposed to just leave the child alone after arresting the father? If so, would they have written this same story, but lambasted the officers for leaving the toddler alone?

The Guardian for some reason is really focusing on the part that isn’t actually bad, in a story where bad things happened.

I 100% get what you are saying. But I’m also 100% fine with voting with my wallet by not supporting game developers that demand kernel-level access to my machine.

Think about the EA stuff. You install one of their games, and now Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner* have kernel-level access to your machine. Why, why the hell is that worth it for just a game?

*I wish I was joking

Should i unplug everything other than the new drive, and have the installer do it automatically?

This is what I did. Made the installer mostly a bunch of hitting ‘next’.

Plus, I don’t trust Windows to not fuck up my Linux drive, so when I used to dual boot, I would only have one or the other in the computer. Though, haven’t booted into the Windows drive for months now.

The chart is based on ProtonDB, which covers all Steam games.

She must not address you. Basically act as if the other person does not exist.

The MIL has already offered to not engage in politics, take her up on the offer. Batting away the olive branch just comes off as childish.

You don’t have to agree with your family’s politics. It’s basically guaranteed a huge chunk will disagree with you on something. Just don’t talk about politics with them since it upsets you so much.

It’s perfectly reasonable to steer the conversation away from politics if it comes up, and if they insist, particularly at your house, be a bit more direct about not having political discussions over the dinner table.

Not sure why you are trying to jump from the frying pan directly into the fire…

This is just more government bullshit

Just like the California cancer label that is on everything, if you put this label on common shit like bacon, then yes, “it’s just more government bullshit” is exactly how the vast majority of people will treat it.
