We need to stop reporting what these brainless twats are saying. Just freeze 'em out.

Stop it. Just stop trolling.

Red Dead Redemption 2.

I picked it up a yeat or two ago, played through it, and loved it. When RDR was finally released for the PC, I immediately dove into it.

RDR was ezcellent, but it made me crave RDR2 gameplay, which was far deeper. So now I’m riding around in the epilogue, completing challenges and collecting every piece of clothing, saddle, and trinket.

Mint is good. It might be worth trying a few different desktop environments to see what you like - you can probably run all of the major ones from a LiveBoot device.

BUT, and this is VERY important, ypu do not need to do any programming or coding on a Linux desktop. Ever.

If you’re not a programmer then you are never forced to peel that onion. You can do EVERYTHING from a GUI if you want.

You’ll lose the ability to run some games and software, but between alternatives and emulation, that list is getting smaller.

The one that really struck me was “Starstreak: Stories from space!” It was a collection of short sci-fi stories including The Haunted Spacesuit and Who Goes There.

Turned me into a lifelong SF reader.

I read this as "have no plans to remove any titties.’

Slavery.

Grim Fandango.

Seriously, it’s one of the only games I consider to even HAVE a soundtrack. It’s absolutely next-level.

I played through RDR and RDR2 on a 1060 and i7-4770k, and it ran fine at 1200p. Damned shame that these cards won’t ve getting updates anymore.

But they’re stable as they stand and we WILL be getting security updates, so my card is going to run another year.

If you’re not sure what my point is you’re not informed enough to present a legitimate argument.

Or maybe you didn’t present your point clearly.

Or maybe you’re just wrong.

These are entirely possible scenarios you might want to consider.

The premise of a web business model is that websites must make a profit - either directly or indirectly.

That’s utter bullshit. Some of us are old enough to remember when the web (or for that matter, the pre-web internet) was there for sharing of information, social interaction, and community. Schools, the government, and nonprofits provided hosting for free.

Later on, ISPs started to add hosting as part of their internet service - along with usenet access and an email address. The cost to them was negligible, especially vs. the benefits of being able to say “switch to us and create your own website!”

Nowadays you can run a site from your home PC in a VM, punch a hole through your firewall, and pay a modicum for DDNS to a custom domain for under a hundred bucks a year. If you’re a bigger site with more traffic, maybe you spin it up on AWS and pay ten or twenty bucks a month.

The very idea that “The Web” is a homogeneous, for-profit entity is a profound and fundamental mistake that is made by every money-obsessed organization around - not just the financial rags like Forbes and The Economist, but essentially corporations as well. Take a look at the support site for your favourite product and try to convince yourself that they didn’t just put the minimum required effort in to send customers into the arms of their competitors.

Such bullshit.

“AI is going to fix everything, so we need a new way to make money.”

1. AI is nothing but a delusional and unwanted waste of energy.
2. The web doesn’t need a business model, period. Money-grubbing billionaires are the only ones who need a business model.

Why mention it? Because the media has a DUTY to call out a corrupt government! Because they’re not doing their job!

No discussion in the article about fraud or conflict of interest.

And they’ll continue hiring and expanding, pushing the ‘churn’ bullshit to keep thrir employees scared.

Asshole company deserves to die.

I’ve got a playlist for that. Two that come to mind are Gliry Box and Fade Into You.

Out of misplaced nostalgia, I keep wantimg ZD to not completely fuck up for once.

Alas, I’ll have to continue waiting.

If we’re talking about a bar/restaurant, then the amount of alcohol in a drink is regulated and consistent.

That said, if the total volume of ice and water is consistent, then 10ml of the liquid portion of a drink on the rocks will have more alcohol than 10ml of the liquid/ice mixture in a blended margarita, at least until the ice cubes melt.

Far more importantly, a margarita on the rocks is a superior drink. :-)

Nobody knows how they died, because they’re dead.

Many people know how they’re going to die, at least approximately. When you’re 93 and have cancer, you know.

I don’t have a strong opinion on the matter, but it really seems like it would encourage stalking and revenge-downvotes.
