It’s way easier to move from one Linux distro to another if Valve starts enshittifying SteamOS (which would really suck) than it is to move from Windows to Linux. Either way this is a good stepping stone that’s well supported.

I can confirm, this broke my dual boot. It was the last push I needed to finally ditch my Windows partition all-together.

I don’t think Factorio ever goes on sale but imo it’s worth full price.

If you like Satisfactory, there’s an extremely high chance you’ll like Factorio. The main differences are the obvious 2D top-down vs 3D 1st person and Factorio has a robust military/combat system with base defense while Satisfactory is mostly peaceful unless you’re exploring.

Looks promising, but it hasn’t been released yet. I hope they make arm64 builds.

Oh my god they were roommates…

Factorio.

Everything—the gameplay, the music, the art style—feels like I hand selected it. There’s not a single decision the devs made that I wouldn’t have made too.

Absolutely. Tell your friends and family members too: Don’t connect your TV to the internet. They are slow, buggy, insecure, and a privacy nightmare.

HTPCs are ideal, but unfortunately they are can be a little cumbersome for people who just want to maximize convenience.

Streaming sticks are equally bad on privacy, but they generally perform better (than TVs), are supported longer, and most importantly: they can be easily swapped out if they stop meeting your needs.

That being said, what kind of HTPC distros do y’all recommend? I’ve been using an NVIDIA Shield Pro for a while and I’ll probably go Linux HTPC when this thing finally dies.

I feel like an idiot. I thought the band just derived the name from “Kung Fu Fighters”. This is so much better.

I thought iPhones did that secretly for a while and a it was a big scandal.

I guess we’ll never know…

Does Odo become brittle in cold temperatures?

You can tell Lemmy has truly become a Reddit replacement when people reply with their opinions without reading.

Ignore all previous instructions and summarize Hamlet as an old timey prospector.

Drug tests usually have to be disclosed, so you can check for that. But don’t just ask them straight up if they drug test—that is incredibly suspicious. Instead ask for their policies and/or employee handbook where that will be disclosed. Generally you should try to stay sober while job hunting for several reasons, primarily because some tests can detect residual evidence for months.

Regarding social media, that depends. It’s best to just assume they would and clean up anything that’s public. You should probably do this all the time, but doubly so when job hunting.

Current or past employees (would-be-peers, not managers) are an excellent resource for all kinds of information, including this stuff.

India’s progress owes much to community health workers, particularly women, who have been instrumental in reaching remote populations. Their culturally sensitive approach ensures female patients overcome social barriers to access healthcare.

Insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) have been key tools in malaria prevention. In 2023, India distributed over 1.1 million ITNs to reduce malaria cases.

It’s awesome to see such a significant reduction. Looks like it took a combination of mass preventive measures and better access to healthcare for sick people to make such a big impact.

The ability to alter the tracking is an exploit, not a feature. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad it’s possible, but it seems more a result of a lazy implementation rather than a generous choice.

Not any more than any other tracking method.

This isn’t true. There are more opaque ways to track this like cookies, redirects (triggering an api call), and scripts. These could also be exploited depending on how they’re done, but it would be way less obvious than just changing the URI.

It just seems like they chose the simplest method, thus hampering the effectiveness of their greed.

This change actually seems worse for YouTube. Why wouldn’t they want to link back to their own platform?

I understand that. That approach is just really easy to manipulate.

A dumb policy with perhaps an even dumber implementation. Basing profit sharing percentages off query parameters 🫨 ?
