TIL Madison Square Garden isn’t like… A public park or garden 😳. In my defence, I’m British and only ever saw the Madison Cube Garden parody on Futurama, which iirc is actually a garden.

My guess is that it just defaults to a 0 position, rather than actually showing how people have voted.

It’s also a complete strawman argument, right wingers instantly bring it up when discussing trans people’s basic right to exist, as if all trans people are trying to become professional athletes. They also conveniently forget that trans men exist when trying to argue their point.

I use sunshine and moonlight using a pi 5 running Android TV as the client. It works perfectly for the occasional video stream but latency for games is a bit rough. You’ll probably be fine playing something relaxed like Stardew Valley but platformers (I’ve tried Ultimate Chicken Horse) and racing games (Mario Kart Wii running in Dolphin) are just bad enough to be unplayable. This is with both devices connected over Ethernet (albeit through a powerline adapter and my router is fairly cheap) so WiFi will probably be worse.

Not sure if sunshine and moonlight just have loads of overhead or if there’s a part of my setup causing the latency.

I use Glutun for this

I’ve been using Stardew mods on Linux since I first started using Linux, they’re pretty easy to manage manually and I use Stardrop to check for mod updates.

If anything though, it’s kind of made me hate Nexus Mods being a closed platform which forces you to pay a monthly subscription for API access if you want to do things automatically. I wish there was a more open mod host.

learning online is way more effective and efficient.

Take it from someone who was at university during the pandemic, noooo it is not

From what other people have said and from the occasional video that’s popped up on Youtube, Discord has a library of CSAM content that its automated systems match against and there are certain individuals that try to bait people to post seemingly innocent pictures that are actually frames from said videos. Discord’s systems see that the image is a frame from such material and will auto-ban the account

Framework 16 does have a dedicated GPU option, and it’s upgradable.

No no, Liberty getting smaller and fading away in the background is perfectly on brand

Here’s a wildcard people might not know about: Raspberry Pi Imager

I use it because it’s faster than Etcher and it also has a bunch of quick links to download popular images (mainly for RPI and other arm-based SBCs) in one click which is handy if you use those regularly.

I learned python from codecademy back in the day, are they still around? I remember their examples/course being very interactive and completely free

I recently set up Fedora Kinoite on my dad’s laptop for him and he seems very happy with it. Kinoite is the atomic/immutable version with KDE Plasma by default. Once I’d set up a couple of things everything else he needs can be installed with flatpak (just make sure to set Flathub as the default and disable the Fedora flatpaks repo that ships broken packages all the time)

To be fair, the hardware is pretty phenominal. The whole trying to lock customers into their ecosystem after they felt enough people had purchased their products was a whole next level of scummy though. We must be vigilant as a community in not letting them creep in antifeatures now they’ve backtracked. I keep mine in LAN only mode and will be switching to Orcaslicer as soon as the flatpak hits Flathub which should be soon.

You joke, but this is a real problem in computing Obligatory link to Tom Scott video.

Republicans: Nooooo we can’t add flouride to the water supply

Also Republicans: mmm tasty lead

I read about ActualBudget and although it’s not the most useful thing for me (I only have one bank account and my finances are about as simple as you can get), I spun up a docker container for it anyway out of curiosity. It allows you to categorise all your transactions and set up rules with simple name matches and even regex for more advanced matching. It took me a couple of hours to create all my rules but future transactions should now be categorised automatically. There’s also a tab where you can setup charts and graphs to see visually how much you’ve spent on certain categories in the last X days and so on.

It might be overkill for what you’re looking for, but you might find it useful or just nice to have for other reasons, and it certainly should cover your use case.

Matrix isn’t fediverse though. It is Federated but uses its own protocol

Exit = vacate… Vacation…

Californication?

• Covid
• Ebola
• 9/11 and the “war on terror”
• The cold war
• WW2
• WW1
• a whole host of other things before that

The world has felt like it’s ending to a lot of people for many generations, yet somehow it never does. I’m not denying that the world is in a pretty awful state right now, but we have to hope things will get better because otherwise they never will.
