Yeah! Sabrina is way better than Taylor!

Well FIFA players are mostly just gamblers so that checks out. The contingent of non-gamblers should be big enough to sway the rest of the industry if they really did stop spending though. Unfortunately I don't think it's going to happen. Most big games are attempting to shift their players slowly into gambling addiction too. Roblox, Fortnite, Overwatch, they're all attempting to hook players on gambling. We need regulation to more heavily restrict those games from having anything related to gambling in them before we can expect players to bail (or stop spending) in large enough numbers to make anything change.

couldn't it simply be that lots of other people know the corporate account number and just spout it out to ship stuff at the expense of a dead man?

You mean “at will” not “right to work”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-will_employment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law?wprov=sfti1

Let me just check with you that i'm interpreting this comment correctly: I accidentally informed you of a Linux platform that is highly interesting to you and fits your exact use case? Well great! happy to help. I work for a HW OEM that is "IGEL Ready" so I'm familiar with their platform and it's use cases, but I don't use it myself.

so, bit of a non sequitur here but: I'm interested in other work if you are familiar with some roles looking for a "solutions architect" type person and want to chat about that sorta thing in the DMs.

IGEL OS could potentially get this kind of pull going from medical/govt primarily to more general business

 

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

 

Cross-post, as the latest top post here was the trigger for me posting this: https://lemmy.world/comment/17803912

 

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!
