Half Life: Blue Shift already happened.

(I appreciate the Flintstones joke, though.)

Thanks, I had the same question.

The mere phasing of it as them “letting” users do it shows that they fundamentally Do Not Get It and are still failing to respect device owners’ property rights.

I’ve been noticing several new or new-ish accounts acting similarly. I need to go find an admin/mod discussion about what I (as a mod of another community) should be doing about it.

Well, cool it anyway 'cause it makes people think you’re a bot.

Yep!

I hesitate to mention this because I don’t want the ebay seller to sell out before I decide if I want one, but…

Craft Computing has a recent video about a used Supermicro “Microcloud” server that holds 8 Intel socket R nodes in 3U and costs $400 (apparently including CPUs but not RAM). Seems like an excellent way to get cheap redundancy, albeit at the cost of probably not great power consumption because it’s so obsolete.

That’s because macroeconomics actually do work differently than microeconomics. The idea that a country should be run like a household is fallacy.

On the other hand, a lot of screenies do poorly at formal English, like grammar, spelling and word choice, because much of their learning is casual.

Gotta read actual books, not just listen to movie/game dialogue. (Short-form news articles and textual social media probably don’t cut it either, just because news is written to be understood even by people with poor reading skills and social media discussions are too casual.)

Obviously, your next print is a replacement tension adjustment pulley thing, as is tradition.

More like a $600 Damascus steel knife made by another Youtuber that they were given for free, but otherwise this is spot-on.

and keep any federal taxes unpaid and in an escrow

That’s not how federal (income) taxes work. They get paid directly from the employer (or worker, in the case of the self-employed) to the Federal government without passing through the State.

Not sure if optimism or naïveté.

I’ve heard that one time – in a show in Albuquerque, no less – when he got to the “anyway, where was I? Kinda lost my train of thought” part, he actually started over again from the beginning!

I have two color Brother laser printers (well, print/scan/copy/fax multifunction devices) that I got off Craigslist for $50 each. Even though they complain about being due for new fusers or whatever, it was still a great deal and I recommend being patient to find something similar.

I bet it did, but you just didn’t know it. It was always a thing you had to ask for, and they’d give it to you from behind the counter.

I was using Gentoo over two decades ago, compiling on an Athlon XP (not sure which model). Single core, well less than 2GHz.

If it was manageable back then, surely it’s no big deal by now with a modern multi-core CPU – even a low-end one, let alone something like a $300 16-core Ryzen 5950X.

Buy a faster CPU.

Nah, it’s both of them. The difference is, Gentoo gives you a cotton gin and a loom.

Ah, my monitors are all identical and stay plugged in all the time, so it’s a much less complicated use-case than yours.

I do have one issue where, because I picked the wrong 9070XT on launch day and couldn’t exchange it due to lack of availability, one of my monitors is on HDMI instead of DisplayPort and takes annoyingly longer to wake from sleep or change modes than the other two. But I think that’s more likely a hardware or driver problem than a Wayland one.
