She wanted something that was an easy transition from Windows. She is competent enough to install her own OS but wants to spend what little spare time she has on the computer gaming and not troubleshooting and maintaining so I recommended she tried Bazzite with KDE.

Just have a friend who finally decided switching yesterday. She picked my distro recommendation too which makes me feel all validated.

Wow. I don’t know if everyone understands how unbelievably fucked up that is. A person overboard is usually considered an all hands on deck, high priority search and rescue operation because of how hard it is to spot the person and how finding that person a few minutes earlier can make the difference between retrieving a person or a corpse. She downright sacrificed a Coastguardsmen’s life for something that could have waited. This is beyond incompetent priority management and I can guarantee that most Coast Guard members hate her guts for it now.

This isn’t new. I remember seeing a promotion for this exact same printer many years ago already. I’d approach it with suspicion.

And yet the “I don’t care that they gather data on me, I have nothing to hide” crowd is still clueless

It is baffling that people hadn’t clued in about this sooner

Because as long as they haven’t seen the files they can make themselves believe that maybe the whole Epstein affair is speculation and grossly exaggerated and that they can’t possibly be that bad. When they finally see the truth they can no longer make those mental gymnastics. It also helps that they also likely realize that the truth will get out sooner or later and don’t want to be among the ones who protected those monsters.

I live in Canada. My rationalization is that as much as what’s happening in the US is pissing me off, I have no business going into another country to try to fix it for them.

However, if the day ever arrives that they decide to follow through with their threat of annexing my country, it will become my problem.

There’s a reason why they prefer to attack unarmed people. That one time they encountered someone who turned out to be carrying a weapon they panicked and murdered him.

That acronym is common in the military for reporting enemy sightings. How fitting.

You mean the same Ghislaine who got transferred to a nicer prison after a meeting with Trump’s lawyer and then making the statement that “Trump was a gentleman”?

I just felt like we had to remind people of this every time she is being brought to testify about anything.

It would have been unbelievable in the past as well. We are in the unusual period where the forces of capitalism have stopped incentivizing quality and efficiency.

We should put out a ransom for the video.

GoFundMe anyone?

Sadly, those videos are likely stored offline on removable storage.

We know. We noticed.

Unfortunately they’ll never release it because if they do they’ll lose their leverage

IMO Supreme Commander failed to capture the original game’s soul had. You had a sense of an epic battle going on when playing. I think it was because it always devolved into playing all zoomed out, watching tiny strategic icons moving across the map, blinking and disappearing. I can’t even tell you what any of the units looked like because we almost never see them. The fact that they gave generic names to units and structures such as “level one point defence turret” didn’t help either.

BAR does a much better job of keeping the player zoomed in and into the action, seeing and feeling so the cool details of the battle going on. Heavy plasma batteries blowing up chunks of advancing armies and terrain, lasers blowing up i dovidual targets in rapid succession, sending debris flying everywhere, this was all what TA was about.

One thing I miss the most from the Biden era is we didn’t hear from this piece of human garbage doing shit like that every day.

I understand that, but if a third-party was to make a mod that restores the old names, I don’t see how they could possibly be held legally liable for it.

The very act of floating this idea is election fraud. Even if they don’t do it, threatening to do it could discourage voters.

I wish someone made a mod for this game that restored the names of the units and buildings to all their Total Annihilation equivalents.
