The pay website won't allow me to read it. How much are they actually getting paid right now?

ColeSloth ,

27k and bunches of wasted time....yeah. that's idiotic. I can't believe they even get applications.

ColeSloth ,

How long till it's a crab?

ColeSloth ,

What do you think they'd do to someone who turns the money over and snitches? There's no available sure win.

ColeSloth ,

What are you using it for, and how much space are you looking to need? This info will change recommendations.

Why do posters say that increase in Linux Steam share doesnt count becuase its mostly steam deck users?

It's not the gotcha that they think it is. Increasing share of Linux, steam deck or not is progress. Any development or considerations made for the SteamDeck and its Arch based OS benefit the non SteamDeck Linux gaming scene too....

ColeSloth ,

People are buying a game system that uses Linux. They aren't choosing Linux, and most of them aren't using it as an operating system of any sort aside from gaming. So yeah. It only half counts.

ColeSloth ,

I wish I could still get a higher end phone with an SD card slot. I'm holding onto my s20 ultra (I like the pen) until I'm forced out for security update reasons.

ColeSloth ,

Yeah. I have t mobile, so the xperia 1 V, and the newly released but not officially sold in the US xperia 1 VI would work, but rare phones tend to lack support, amd I can't bring myself to shell out $1400 for a phone like that.

She's probably alive because she's already cut a deal with the narcos. I believe over a dozen other candidates were gunned down, along with some family members. I doubt that her and her family managed to get out of all that from simple luck.

ColeSloth ,

She's a shadow puppet of the last president, and he didn't do anything to stop the narcos or the murders. Why would you think she's different?

ColeSloth ,

Ok. How do you think it's flawed? The drug lords literally killed over a dozen other candidates, the current president was looking the other way on their business, and this woman worked with that president and is known to have similar views.

So where's the flaw, my guy?

ColeSloth ,

Well of course it's speculation. It doesn't make it untrue or very unlikely, though. It's just not a certainty. What is a certainty was that a dozen+ candidates were murdered, but there weren't any attempts of her or her family.

ColeSloth ,

32GB of ram is absolutely still enough. Your biggest boost will be getting an m.2 drive, if you aren't already on one. Much faster and more reliable than an ssd.

As for windows and re-installation of everything....yes. there are technically a couple workarounds you could do, but really, you're way better off just doing a fresh install of everything on an m.2 drive. If you want to stay with windows, it may be easier to pirate win 10 rather than going through customer service, but de0ending on how you own your current windows, microsoft customer service may be able to hook you up.

ColeSloth ,

I rather liked it. I mean he was just re-phrasing questions he's seen without having to bother with direct quotes and making sure the questions were articulate.

It's pretty important to get this info out there and make sure everyone and their 2nd cousin knows about it. If Microsoft can't make this absolutely infallible on a security front it will almost be laughable at how many people could get completely fucked over by this. Every hacker and country in the world are going to be poking at the security of this feature. It would be the holy grail of infosec penetration.

ColeSloth ,

Dude. This is loaded as fuck misinformation and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Cod fishing on Canada's eastern coastal area has been banned since 1992. That's why it's flattened out to nothing all of a sudden. They stopped Cod fishing there.

ColeSloth ,

Drove a ton in the 90s all across the US as well every year there was a couple several thousand mile vacations starting from near Kansas city.

The bugs were bad, but we never needed a bug screen on the grill. I never even remember seeing something like that exist, actually. Definitely less bugs now, though.

ColeSloth ,

The little thumbnail image on my phone looked like a chick from the waist down wearing knee high socks.

It's been around a year since a lot of us quit Reddit, myself included. I'm happy with Lemmy, but I still feel a bit lost online since leaving the old site. Discussion?

Been thinking of making a post like this for some time, apologies if some of this is not completely relevant: this community seems more like it's about Reddit the platform/product than Reddit the social "thing", but I'm sure a lot of people have similar experiences to mine. Maybe on some instances more than others....

ColeSloth ,

Lemmy is pretty much exactly the same as reddit, but without so much advertising and a much smaller user base.

Some people get pissed about that being said, but most users know it's true. There are still overzealous mods and instances pushing and controlling agendas. As it gets more popular, more ai bots will start spamming stuff. In the meantime, it's not bad. I've almost completely stopped using reddit after about 16 years. I still hop over if I need or want certain bits of information. It's easier to get info/advice from 100,000 subscribers than it is from 100.

For the most part though, I'm happy with lemmy and have no plans of returning to reddit. It is kind of a dumpster fire over there.

ColeSloth ,

I think the chodes that own like 20+ pew pews are all far right. But you can't use 20 at a time, so I guess that won't help much. I'd put hard money on odds of much more citizens who've actually shot someone before as being non-republicans.

ColeSloth ,

Good. The US can make e bikes. The problem is that the tariffs need to be solidified in place for a minimum of 10 years or manufacturers won't invest in the infrastructure to make them. If the tariffs seem likely to go away soon, no one will bother doing it on a large scale. All the Chinese made batteries are garbage, anyhow. There's only a handful of actual quality small lithium batteries and they're samsung, panasonic, Westinghouse, and miel. The ones from china horribly lie about capacity and start failing way too soon. There's a reason all the power tool batteries inside Dewalt and makita and such never use Chinese batts inside. Same for all the high end cordless vacuums. You open up a dyson battery pack, you'll never find chinesium.

ColeSloth ,

Yeah....there's actually a bunch of e bike companies that are US based that do all the design and spec work in the US and are built at various places overseas. EBC builds em in the US, using mostly overseas parts. As far as "design generations" go the US is one of the global leaders. Juiced and Rad Power have both been making e bikes for 15 years, bucko.

ColeSloth ,

Disagree. If you're half assing the job you're supposed to be doing because it's easier on you, you don't deserve a pass. Especially when it's negatively effecting other people like this does.

Also, generally, screw HR. They exist just to protect the rich they work for and they'll have you fired in an instant if it means helping out the company in any way.

ColeSloth ,

So is the violence part. Hitler wasn't defeated with a sit in. The elite chose violence back in the 1950's to destroy unions. Corrupt governments were never overthrown by asking nicely. The term "speak softly, but carry a big stick" wasn't made up for no reason.

ColeSloth ,

I tend to just care about security updates at this point. There isn't any new features I want, anymore. I'm either using it as a phone, sending messages, or in an apk. The OS version is of little consequence.

ColeSloth ,

I have no idea. Plus, with a brand new company, you can't even be sure they'll be around in a few years to follow through with any such promises.

ColeSloth ,

Well I'll be. I have the same board and the same 1600x right now. Also built around 2016 or so, if memory serves.

Not a big fan of the board, I gotta say. It's given me lots of trouble by being finicky with the ram. Had to add a touch of voltage, loosen the timing a hair, and run it around 100mhz slower than the ram was rated for stability. Lotta hours to diagnose and verify it wasn't one of my 4 ram sticks that was faulty, since it could go a week without crashing and running memtest stuff would normally take 12+ hours to show any errors at all.

Always a good idea to check what bios version a board requires for what processor you plan on sticking in it, and to look through all bios update notes for required updates to move up to other updates and sometimes there's stopping points, like "for 1600x, stop here, or don't update beyond"

ColeSloth ,

Personally, I suspect voltage inconsistencies going to the ram ports, that change a bit depending on how many sticks you're using.

ColeSloth ,

Yeah. Imagine the great advertising and publicity they would get by having it voiced by Scar Jo.

If she would have said yes, they likely would have dropped the similar sounding voice that they had and released it with the other three voice options, got Scar Jo to come do the voicing, and then released her voice like two weeks later.

ColeSloth ,

Sell it and buy a steam deck. I'm over 40. The deck made me like gaming again. So many fun games and immediately being able to sleep the system while in a game and then waking it back up to be right where I left off is a huge benefit to me.

ColeSloth ,

M1, Tiger, t-82,...wait, I think that might be a calculator.

ColeSloth ,

You mean a Tigger?

Build tiny row housing. Like 8'x10' a piece with a door, all side by side. Line the top with solar panels and plumb an AC unit to like 10 a piece. Give the homeless a place to stay at and try to get back on their feet instead of tents on a street. Every like 500 feet can have a bathroom/shower house. On a large scale it could probably amount to just like $5,000 per unit.

Society did let this happen. You know how many rednecks I run into who think billionaires are just success stories who did a good job? You know how people chose to listen to the anti union propaganda back in the 1950's onward? Up until around 5 years ago back on reddit I was in the minority on being pro union. The population absolutely allowed this to happen. We have 80 year olds running the country because the 20 year olds are 100% straight up too lazy or apathetic to vote in elections. When only around 30% of the eligible under 30 crowd vote in elections. Go try and do something that'll change it.

ColeSloth ,

Society allowed themselves to be lead around like sheep and fall for the propaganda. The rich kept saying unions were bad, and you fell for it. They said socialist ideas were bad, and you fell for it. They allowed for all sorts of things that were bad for society, because they said and advertised they were bad for society, and you all bought into it. The people here just fall for the propaganda. For decades and decades. Society allows all the propaganda to shape their opinions instead of thinking for themselves and now we're neck deep in shit from corruption and greed. The oligarchy needs eliminated and we can't even manage to get a 25 year old to a voting booth.

ColeSloth ,

Not the Mac n cheese for the last like 20+ years. It used to use real cheese and really did taste better. I know the internet got all uppity against kraft a while back, claiming they started making the noodle portion worse somewhere around 2016 or something, but that's nothing compared to the big taste difference that happened when they stopped using real cheese.

ColeSloth ,

Just learn to play the 4 chords so you can make a pop hit.

ColeSloth ,

Type of games I play, I'm fine with my 120 and fps locked at 60.

ColeSloth ,

I think they all started with water. Eventually almost none had water. I'm guessing they started to leak after a couple years.

ColeSloth ,

A man? The back of that head looks like a 13 year olds.

ColeSloth ,

Also, mods are petty and will delete or ban you if you make a comment that goes against their agenda. Even when the comment has nothing but up votes.

ColeSloth ,

My last comment was in "comics" and was 9-0. I didn't agree with the "message" if the comic. Guessing the mod was the artist, maybe. Lol

ColeSloth ,

It's obvious because the woman "factoid" origin is completely made up and untrue.

ColeSloth ,

If you can learn your job well enough after a week or so to do it satisfactorily, it's an unskilled job.

There are definitely unskilled jobs. When I was a cart attendant at Target, I was in an unskilled job. If someone with less than two weeks training were left to do one of the jobs I have now, people would literally die.

ColeSloth ,

No one in the US will dive into major production of such things without a more guaranteed long term tariff. Not something that may go away within 5 years time. Also, there isn't a snowballs chance in hell the US will be a world leader in solar production. We might dominate the US market.

ColeSloth ,

Trump tariffs were too small.

ColeSloth ,

Chinese auto workers average less than $3 an hour. When an entire country pays everyone 10% of what US workers make, it gets really hard to compete.

However; fuck the 1 percenters. Bring back 1950's taxes.

ColeSloth ,

Have you not seen where and how the iPhone factory workers live? We got prisons that look more homely.

ColeSloth ,

It's called sugar free gum. Enjoy.
