Lmao… let’s start counting the laws he hasn’t broken. I’m so done with trying to care about each instance of him breaking the law. He’s unfit for office, has been impeached twice, and he deserves only jail for as long as his miserable heart will last.

It got me too. While we did it, and while writing that comment, and just now reading it again. We love him, and miss him every day.

Our Husky was 10 when he passed away in 2023. We had always joked that his middle name was "pizza thief" because he was very good at stealing pizza when you weren't looking. easily at least a dozen times in his life he nabbed pizza from right next to you, from the counter, or sometimes even from your lap. For one of his last meals, we got a pizza and specifically left some out for him to "steal" for the last time. I will cherish that moment forever. Celebrating his life spent with us, and the quirks that made him who he was, was the only way we could let him go.

Blockchain, crypto and web3 are all the same thing. You’re right tho, tech bros hype any new tech they think they can sell for more than it’s worth

just did the math, I've averaged about $165/yr on steam, with very little (though not none) microtransactions. like maybe less than $50 total in 15 years.

this is part of your compensation. you pay state taxes for it. And you deserve it. decades of corporate propaganda has made most people believe they don't deserve leave at all. ignore the haters and take your leave.

Probably just their favorite song. Easy to find songs without buying them… ;P

I don’t really understand your snippet. But yeah i think the issue with IoT devices having connection to any other network device at all is that if they have a security hole that can be exploited through a malicious USB drive or BT or any other compromised device it can connect to, that it can act maliciously in a number of ways. The only true security for devices that can’t get patched is a complete air gap for any connected devices.

 

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!

 

Gotta love a nice macro shot of some scanlines.

 

This 32” beast of a trinitron has been RGB modded and accepts composite, S-video, and of course RGB. Geometry isn’t perfect, but it’s close enough to sit back and enjoy!
