I am extremely biased on this, but “The Enchanted Forest” in Oregon on I-5 looks like a tourist trap. And it is. But it is also pretty neat! The founder just recently died, but he built it by hand and it’s still a family run business. Tickets for rides are egregious, but the “storybook trail” that it’s known for isn’t bad! Also, don’t eat the food.

7r has a kind of time travel, right? Or I guess that’s more an alternative dimension…

I’m white, if there is a middle class I’m in it, a man, and attractive (if I do say so myself, I wish this wasn’t relevant but it definitely is a part of the profiling) so my risk level is about as low as it could be in regards to being targeted by these fuckwits. But I do think if ICE is patrolling my fucking airport that I will tell work I’m not able to travel.

Sure, my one instance of business impact won’t do anything. But hopefully other folks like me will do the same thing. Enough to cause some amount of notice. And hey, if it doesn’t, at least I have a good fucking reason to not travel for work, I hate it.

How familiar with this are you? I’m pretty sure most MDMs have to play nice with the rules set by GMS. There are MDMs made by the OEMs of some HW brands, and they have the system signature in their MDM agent for sideloading, but even then if they’re GMS compatible and not AOSP there are limitations to what they can control from GMS’s influence.

Is there some sort of in between of GMS and Non-GMS that this could possibly apply to?

I avoid using apps on my phone as much as possible

5 figures is not “set for life” money like everyone seems to be suggesting

This isn’t your fault, but I’m on mobile in the default web interface and fuck this side-scrolling code block thing.

nah, "vote with your wallet" can never work! You can only contribute to the problem more until it can't go any further!

(i am not serious about any of this. a sane society would reject the existence of these "businesses" swiftly. if only...)

The only way to fight this is to make a new bet on polymarket to profit off the odds that this journalist is killed by the gamblers in polymarket.

i heard shit like this in school too. but it wasn't from teachers or adults, just other idiot kids and i wasn't dumb enough to take it as a definite truth, though i did consider it plausible.

 

Playing FF7 with my kids and we ran into this chump working for shinra who is now surprised they’re doing a terrorism

 

That is all

Hey all!

I currently utilize Debian and used KDE Plasma on my old computer as a Plex server, RetroNAS, and also run protonVPN when i need to use it for downloading files for Plex to server on my network devices. The only problem is, I have to leave a keyboard and mouse plugged in for when i need to use it, but don’t have much space in the corner it stays in.

I happen to work for a touch screen company and have a glut of touch screens laying around my home office and I’ve got a VESA mount in the corner this PC lives in, and one of my spare touch monitors can go there. Unfortunately I’ve had trouble with touch friendliness with Linux distros. I’d love to find one that can support my usage needs with just the touch screen. So an on screen keyboard, and support for scrolling web pages (Wayland?) and other scrollable areas would be stellar.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a distro that would be great at this kind of thing? My PC uses an intel chipset with integrated graphics, if that matters.

 

I made this video review of a new aftermarket VMU for the Dreamcast. Infinite virtual VMUs!

 

I currently run windows 10 on my main desktop PC, and also have a steam deck that I sometimes use in desktop mode instead of my desktop. With the way Windows is going, and the way Linux Gaming is dramatically improving, I might consider ditching Windows, at least for the most part, on my next PC build. What would be the best distro to use for gaming, with casual use as well? Any suggestions?

 

Heard about these on the CRT Podcast by RetroTech and ZezRetro. Seems insane, I’m really curious about them.

Edit: changed link, hopefully it works now?

 

I love this video and how it reveals how displays work, it’s really enlightening if you’re interested in understand a bit of why CRTs look great for old games!

 

Love this little guy! Clear picture, very little CRT whine, super adjustable, and excellent scanlines. Just an adorable and beautiful little PVM.

 

My wife got me this silly little plastics phone holder thing because it looks like an old CRT and she thinks it’s silly that I love them so much.

 

I figured folks who are exploring both Kbin and Lemmy might enjoy subbing to both to get a mix of fediverse CRT love!
