I do get it. I'm not a game dev but I am a dev, and it's always surprising how many "simple" changes require rewriting a bunch of core code, while how many "complex" changes are just a few line edits. Code be weird like that.

By design, I'm sure. Can't have those poors even thinking about saving money.

A VM is going to incur a pretty big performance loss. From what I've read, Soulframe works just fine with Proton. Either Lutris or the Linux Steam client should work for running it.

I was listening to a Jim Gaffigan bit he wrote during the first Trump admin which is even more true these days. Short version, he compares having Trump as President to having a parent who's a raging alcoholic: what he does isn't directly your fault but you still know you should apologize.

Passport proper is still kinda expensive, but you can get a passport card for $65 for a first-time applicant. Good for a decade, Real ID compliant, works for all US land border crossings and domestic flights. That's not exactly cheap, but it's not that much more than a License in California.

whereas previously all states kinda did their own thing

This can't be emphasized enough. Different states had (and still have) wildly different standards for what is required to get a basic Driver's License or ID Card. Making a unified standard needed to happen, even if the way Real ID was implemented was... let's say "problematic".

AFAIK you can still get a non-Real ID compliant license in almost every state, though for some the difference in documentation requirements are all but nonexistent. Here in Nevada the only difference in required documents is that you can't use a Prison Identification Card to get a Real ID.

I love how the UK's supposedly left leadership aggressively, insistently opened with "let's cut off the heating for old people in winter" and kept doubling down on it.

Quick, someone make a Lemmy instance called Scunthorpe. Should keep out the trash level of LLMs that seem to shit things up.

Full-sized trash cans don't fit in a car very well. But they fit nicely in a truck. This truck can "haul"...all kinds of bulky, awkward shit that doesn't weigh much. I've got a lot of that in my life.

Yep, furniture especially. A Queen-size bed is bad enough, but at least you can tie that onto the roof of most sedans. A table and some chairs? Some dressers? Doesn't matter how light they are, you run out of space real quick, and that's assuming you've got your Luggage Tetris skill maxed so you can cram everything in perfectly.

...or you could just set it all in the bed and put a net over it if you really wanna make sure it won't go anywhere. I know which one I prefer.

Debian 12 let me turn an ailing Gateway Centrino laptop into a media center + game station. It's technically dual core but it's 32-bit and really, really goddamn slow. Still, it's more than fast enough to run everything from the 4th console generation and before, and play a bunch of stuff I snagged with yt-dlp... as long as I made sure it was h264 and 480p or lower. Yeesh.

Still more than enough to make the break room at work amazing.

Ironically, a large portion of that industry is owned by the Timeshare industry. You can imagine that they aren't always the most effective at getting people out of those contracts.

What's the Venn Diagram of "childhood pyromaniacs" and "Linux users" look like?
