  • If video games actually determined our real world behavior, we wouldn't be violent, we would be obsessed with powerwashing and all have CDLs.

    Jump

  • every shit-tier chore ever conceived, and every task on every 'honey do' list ever made, would be completed. every day. on schedule. and without fail.

  • Video games often have crouch and crawl for stealth but not the much more commonly used tiptoeing

    Jump

  • and the 'game' forces you to drop half your carried inventory as well as whatever was equipped in either hand when you do try to get back up.

  • Yo, fire fox what the fuck?

  • Recommend extensions as you browseRecommend features as you browse

    turn these off.

    if you had these enabled, you are probably running defaults most everywhere and have a dozen more settings in firefox to look at; plus a lot more in chrome or edge if you use those, as well as in windows itself.

  • The house special

    Jump

  • mmmm.. sloppy joes are one of my comfort foods.

  • ISP tricked customers about fiber optics being used in their internet service, German court rules — 'full fiber' customers found to have 'last mile' copper connections

    Jump

  • the cable company here does the same thing. calls it 'fiber' but delivers it via coax from the pole or a distribution box down the street.

  • X is now offering me end-to-end encrypted chat — you probably shouldn't trust it yet | TechCrunch

  • One. Two. Three. Four. Five?

    That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage.

  • As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity

    Jump

  • i've got one user who has refused to update their win7 system for a full decade--literally the entire lifecycle of win10. offered to set up a dual boot for her and she seemed to be receptive of that--even bought a nice big ssd drive for it, but she never used it and never upgraded. husband says that ssd is still in the damn box sitting on a shelf. i expect to hear from her when that now tired old hdd in her (i think) wolfdale-era win7 finally craps out.

  • Literally no one is throwing away a working machine just because some deadline passes.

    yes. yes they are. we've taken in a lot more 'junk' systems over the last six months than we ever have.

    many of those who aren't tossing their pc on the heap are paying for the updates or jumping through the link-and-sync bullshit for them.

    microsoft's scare tactics work, and work very well.

  • Meta is removing its Messenger apps for Windows and macOS

    Jump

  • yup. i have a bunch of users that won't be happy. they only still have fb for messenger, use the messenger app, and never go to fb itself anymore.

  • Windows 10 End Of Life - Your Story

    Jump

  • have to have PiHoles and other DNS sinkholes for a basic protection, which is hard for regular people

    mullvad's free dns. free for all, not just their subscribers. encrypted doh or dot only. a basic ad and malware blocking dns sinkhole is a fairly simple configuration away if your os supports it (win11 and android do.. those are what i've set it up on for others so far).

  • Windows 10 End Of Life - Your Story

    Jump

  • not a whole lot of takers here either, and not a single one yet due to win10's "retirement".

    everyone wants windows. but after that, most are pretty receptive of other foss options like libreoffice.

  • Opinion: I Want Worse Looking TV Shows with More Episodes

    Jump

  • it would take nearly twenty of those 'seasons' to air the dick van dyke show's 158 episodes--a series that ran for 'only' five years. i love those older shows like that.

  • Artillery shell exploded prematurely over California freeway during marines celebration

    Jump

  • watch troops put on a show of amphibious vehicles and marines demonstrating a beach assault

    a "show"????

    or training for invasions of coastal cities like new york and la?

  • Body cam shows ICE agent taunted Chicago woman then shot at her, then fled to Maine

    Jump

  • new body cam footage shows agents ramming Martinez, contradicting the ICE version of events.

    no wonder they don't wanna wear the body cams

  • Xubuntu.org Might Be Compromised

    Jump

  • i can't get the /download or /getxubuntu pages to load straight off the project site--just goes to the domain root. the .zip file that was linked also 404s. perhaps an admin temporarily mitigated the issue on their end.

    the .torrent files available via /releases page at...

    https://xubuntu.org/release/25-10/ (latest release)https://xubuntu.org/release/24-04/ (most recent lts)

    appear to be the correct ones.

  • I got 6 months 50% off on my plan because the employee didn't seem to care which discounts he hands out xD (rule)

    Jump

  • doesn't even pay the 'fees' and other bullshit extra charges in the u.s.

  • Apprehension

    Jump

  • you can't even get a ride from the 'taxi' here without their 'app'... and an existing account, with a verified payment method saved.

  • What is this connector?

    Jump

  • i don't remember how much i paid for my first 8+ gb hdd in the 1990s, but it was probably $200 or more.. for what now fits on a $5 flash drive.

  • I know it's too much text, but I couldn't figure out a better way

    Jump

  • that was probably just a byproduct of the actual feature of ensuring there was no slack built-up from vibrations before re-engaging the tape head.
