Agreed. I like the spirit of Switzerland’s “public money, public code” initiative. If they could do that for infrastructure, that’d be awesome.

Rectally?

Seriously though, screen grabs are bullshit. Fuck those guys.

First, that sounded so “I use arch btw”, love that.

Second, I managed to get mint running on a 04-05 model dell. I was so shocked I was able to get it to boot. It didn’t run too well, but it was amazing!

I’ve been recommended it as a windows replacement on my new MSI gaming laptop. I’m thinking about that or Zorin.

I run Lubuntunon some old laptops I have for the kids, but I’m interested in seeing how well Zoron handles hardware.

Really, I need to slap some boot usbs in it and try it out…

It’s no coincidence that when I let the screen of my windos box turn off, it sounds like it’s mining Bitcoin!

A new study shows that a rising premature death rate means Medicare isn’t helping as many people as intended.

Pretty sure that depends on whose intentions we’re talking about.

Republicans definitely intend for that number to be higher!

The lever point is offset such that when you press on the taller part of the handle, the front pops out and you can pull.

They freeze quite solid in icy conditions. It’s really remarkable!

I would look at indie games like nobody saves the world and look for all the emulators and roms I could get my filthy mitts on.

If you don’t have it yet I would spend some of that money on a few months worth at least of mulvad VPN. It would… Open some doors.

“Does it pass tests?”

“Yes but…”

“SHIP IT!”

I mean, more like does and has been, but I guess that’s just semantics. Evil gon be evil.

I’m not sure that makes sense to me.

Don’t forget the "paying $80-$100 to cover the cost of the whole family for this event.

Point taken.

Fucking hate this timeline.

Had a buddy that couldn’t take the pain anymore and he had enough drink and anxiety meds one night and he just never woke up.

He made sure to turn on his music extra loud so it’d bother his neighbors so his cat would be okay and would be rehomed.

He was a good guy.

I would think not if you’re a good engineer.

Even the code of Hammurabi had the death penalty for engineers that caused the death of another through poor design.

Good lord I feel ya. Volt typhoon has positioned itself to take out US critical infrastructure as soon as we push back on Taiwan. As one article put it, “the gun is loaded”…

I am Ralph wiggims on the bus and “I’m in danger”

Yeah, I haven’t found any work opportunities overseas that would really make this possible.

Then there are all the ties I’d have to break and people I’d leave behind. I’d feel guilty. That’d be hard.

Thanks! Definitely a little niche for my purposees, but I can definitely see that being really useful for retro tech!

I got you buddy. https://thespotreview.com/usb-powered-floppy-drives/

This is correct. Ithought I could almost afford it, but I would need to save up an amount of money that is not really possible to save up in my situation and besides that I don’t know if I could psychologically manage actually getting everything lined up and working properly in a whole other country. I’ve looked into it in depth, and it is incredibly taxing and difficult.

I don’t know if it’s something I could ever really manage, even in some of the countries that are “easier” to immigrate to.

Watch out for the android TV boxes. They are being used by China to backdoor into US critical infrastructure. Seriously.

This just barely covers the depth and scope of the issue. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/fbi-badbox-20-android-malware-infects-millions-of-consumer-devices/
