Y is a vowel?

EDIT: I love how all these responses have instances of y being a vowel.

The no ventilation at all is *chef’s kiss

Also really loving the half-ass hot glue and staple job where there’s no structure beyond “this needs a staple somewhere.”

Does it matter if they don’t get a tax break? They’re still generally billion dollar companies.

In my town there’s mostly Safeways, which are owned by Albertsons, which is owned by Cerberus Capital Management, which has something like $65 billion in assets and a net worth of $3 billion. I don’t give a flying fuck if they don’t get a tax break, they could just make the fucking donations on behalf of their fucking customers since they have so much god damned money.

EDIT: Albertsons gets 34 million weekly customers. That’s around 1.7 billion yearly customers. They could make a dollar donation for every customer for a year and still be worth 1.3 billion.

Not just reverse psychology, I can’t imagine anyone agreeing with most of these. It’s definitely got a holier-than-thou attitude. Like who is this even written for other than people who already use Linux and just want to feel smugly superior?

Thanks for doing this and being so kind as to spread joy to fellow Lemmings!

I don’t actually want any of these games, the ones I want I already have, I just wanted to say thank you for being giving.

You’ll have to ask Donald Rumsfeld.

Isn’t Cisco also moving away from IOS towards web-based GUI-centric administration? I forget what it’s called, but it’s not the same as IOS

I have had great luck with a 6600XT myself, but your mileage may vary. There seems to be a fair amount of variance in terms of which AMD cards have solid footing in Linux and which games they work well with. I haven’t had any issues but I generally don’t play visually demanding games.

Also, if you ever want to roll out your own local LLM, you’re just going to have better performance with an Nvidia card, as ROCm just seems to not be quite up to snuff at speedy work.

That’s a fair take. I deleted it promptly after playing, but anyone who is willing to fund empress’s insanity is a fool anyway. Yet, sadly, a whole lot of fools out there.

A few things here:

1. I personally think that interacting with anything related to Harry Potter continues to give it cultural dominance and longevity, so even if you aren’t personally spending money to support the giant piece of shit that is JK Rowling, you’re helping it stay relevant enough to keep making that bigot of a bitch money.

2. It can also be argued that since Epic made a deal for giving the game away, that the money has already been paid to Rowling, whether you grab the game for free or not. The fewer people who grab the free copy, the less wise of an investment it will be seen as by Epic’s beancounters. This also ties back into the first point of the more people taking the free copy is giving Harry Potter more cultural dominance and longevity.

3. I pirated this game when it came out specifically I could play it and write about how bad it was in terms of gameplay, story, and game design. I don’t feel like re-writing a full on review here, but I’ll just say it: It’s a bad fucking game and the only reason people have given it as much attention as it has gotten is the association with Harry Potter. If this had been an original property with no connection to the HP series with similar gameplay and story it would have been a clusterfuck of a failure on release.

Anyway I’ll shut up now but fuck Harry Potter, the only thing Harry Potter related I’ll accept anymore is Wizard People, Dear Reader, because it’s a parody.

I mean, fair take, but sometimes more thoughtful and forward-looking companies aren’t looking for fast return on investment.

It could be argued similarly for Valve that all their investment in Linux ecosystems and open source in general when Linux desktops account for just over 3% of all desktop installations while Windows sits comfortably at 70% of the desktop market, just isn’t a lucrative investment.

While in the long-term it frees Valve from the restrictions of the Microsoft environment and from the risk that Microsoft would make it more and more difficult for Steam to integrate as they try to make their own game store and Game Pass the premiere gaming experience on Windows, those are future risks that are speculation, even though they are rational speculation.

Investing so deeply in open source isn’t a lucrative thing for Valve to be doing, but they’re looking at long-term goals.

In other words, I could see the goal here being something like protecting the Bitwarden brand and making sure more people are using their official client than unofficial with the goal of making it easy to use and enticing people into the general Bitwarden ecosystem long-term. Ten years from now, people who have been running Bitwarden Lite might have a lot more options for integration and paid services than people simply using Vaultwarden.

Is that lucrative? No, but it’s still pursuing brand-name dominance and keeping people officially within their ecosystem as a way to grow userbase and give users more features (including paid ones) that may not be immediately available or easily integrated with Vaultwarden.

Furries are a financial force to be reckoned with.

I don’t know, but I’m gonna take a wild guess and say some Nazis pissed some people off… As they do.

I like having a consistent update and reboot schedule. Uptime feels overrated over stability and clearing the RAM occasionally.

I definitely have some Docker containers that randomly stop working, and they are more often consistently fixed by a reboot of the machine rather than a reboot of the container or the Docker service.

This isn’t the first time Notepad++ was compromised, if I recall correctly, the first time was by a CIA backdoor.

WebUI has had exploits in the past, I wouldn’t use it unless I had to.

Have you seen the current version of SSH Pilot? Close enough perhaps?
