Why is a terminal emulator checking their account anyway? Who puts DRM on a terminal emulator besides Microsoft?

You can keep your bread-flavored soda. My water is flavored with ROCKS (minerals added for taste).

I get that it’s woo (e.g. burying quartz crystals stuffed inside a cow horn), but I don’t see any racism. Care to elaborate?

A work phone is a perk because it means you don’t have to install Teams, Slack, and a bunch of proprietary nonsense you’ve never heard of onto your personal phone.

Anthropic Principle moment

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth did a good job with localization. I remember one character speaking with a thick Southern US accent, and at one point mentioning that she was from Kansai. I didn’t previously know that Kansai was rural, but I was able to get that from the context.

Transliteration is another thing entirely: it’s translating the sounds. “I’ll beat you so that the lights in your eyes go out” translated to Japanese is “君の目の光が消えるまで殴ってやる”. Transliterated back, it’s “Kimi no me no hikari ga kieru made nagutte yaru”.

Desktop form factor, not desktop operating systems. There is zero software I’m aware of that runs on desktops only and not laptops, AIOs, and NUCs.

After they used the same line about jazz, rock and roll, Dungeons and Dragons, video games…

Nor John Kennedy, who’s even more of an asshole.

Yeah, the reason is that RFK Jr. is a hack.

So there is a way to use your philosophy degree for evil.

I’m not sure if the closed-source drivers have social media garbage on them at the moment, but I’m very sure that I don’t trust Nvidia not to add it.

You don’t want to, though. They’re horrible. There’s an insane amount of effort that would be required to reverse-engineer drivers since Nvidia is at best negligent. AMD and Intel are much better about OSS.

Evolution by artificial selection is still evolution.

Sounds like time to run either a food grow op or Folding@Home on a schedule to create false alarms

Looks like a graduated cylinder to me on the first one. Second is an odd angle, maybe a selfie stick?

Meh, it’s 0K.

Wait, they took one of our sapiens? The bastards!

Bazzite is generally the go-to for gaming.
