🎶One, you got to one, you got to one! Two, you got to two, you got to two! Three, you got to three, you got to three! Four, you got to…🎶 Fuck!

Choose a house with 1 extra room, courtesy of your WFH savings.

An itemized cost paid straight by your employer will have the effect of encouraging them to waste less of your time with a commute. They might try to hire locally, might pay for moving expenses, might keep you out of rush hour traffic, might be worried about keeping you late such that now you’re driving on overtime, might actually align their concerns with the planet’s by reducing all the oil going literally up in flames to transport people around to do knowledge work in a cubicle.

Not HTTPS necessarily, but lots use TLS over 443. If you are sending something like login credentials to an online service, it makes sense for the servers to use what is universally available instead of reinventing the wheel. Also, some games may use a launcher that uses HTTPS if they are web-based in some fashion, or maybe the game will use it for certain kinds of API calls unrelated to actual gameplay.

If you are playing a game that uses a dedicated server (or just isn’t a competitive game at all), then TLS usage is probably unlikely, but those games aren’t lucrative for the account boosting/currency farming that makes cheating so rampant in China anyway.

Even signing up for some games requires you to create an account on their website first.

Maybe all 3 of you can come to an agreement somehow?

Yeah, 10% went to good causes but imagine what the society could afford if 100% went through instead of 0.

It’s the US, so more weapons I presume.

Except SSDs

They do have a special name though - “the product”

I am more attached to the idea of the fediverse as a whole than to Lemmy.

I think we should all be called “feds.”

Bro you either know what the fuck is in that file, or you shouldn’t be renaming it in the first place.

Why are you making it about gender? She has the dance moves of a kid in the grocery store cereal aisle.

Does the server have to run headless, or can one person still run games locally on it while another has a remote session? That is, would I be able to play on the monitor/mouse/keyboard directly attached, while my partner has a session on a laptop?

Some people see their pre-transition selves as being one gender, and only use their post-transition gender to inform their new pronouns later. It was written by a person that interviewed her and apparently held her in high respect. All we can see is that there is an abrupt change in the pronouns, where Lynn presumably could have considered herself to match the new pronouns. We don’t know without asking her if she was misgendered by the article, and we are a bit late for that.

I really like the way Ameliorated/AME Wizard handles the debloating. You take a Windows ISO and install like usual, then run AME with a playbook (like AtlasOS), which strips out the bloat through a collection of scripts . AME Wizard is open source, and you can directly inspect all the scripts within the playbook, whereas Tiny11 is a whole ISO that is hard to verify. Not saying that I can personally vouch that it is completely trustworthy, as I have only taken a brief look at the code and scripts, but I like to have the option. It also means that I could modify out any changes I don’t like.

I found out about AME Wizard when I had to reformat a MiPad2 tablet with 2gb of RAM, and so far it has worked better than when the tablet was new. The only downside is that you go through the full Win 11 install, so you need enough available space and then reclaim the wasted space after, but it is at least mostly automated.

It will eventually be supported, and in the interim they have stated that they won’t keep biometric data obtained through ID.me once a verification is completed, or you can opt for an online interview where no biometrics are collected in the first place.

Who knows if ID.me will actually delete the data on their end though, or if the online interview is recorded by the provider.

These guys weren’t against wearing diapers to begin with. They were at least curious about it, or even desperate to finally try it in public. Maybe being out as their true selves will help them develop emotionally a bit. I support more MAGAs wearing their diapers in public spaces.

I didn’t before but now I am glad I did

requiring me to jiggle memory sticks or tighten CPU cooler screws

How much vibration is the computer subjected to? Do you live in a limestone quarry?

nobody died

Except that one guy, in the car. That is the only reason that I will avoid taking a Boeing plane now, and I would have agreed with you otherwise. We can’t know truly how bad it is, but it was bad enough.
