I don’t know if “coop” is the right term, but Duck Game is awesome on the couch with two (or more!) people.

FMLA has no pay guarantee. You can’t lose your job due to a qualified event (for now, just wait until the supreme Court gets its hands on it, I guess)

The thing is, id Software has landed in this medieval war against Hell not out of convenience but out of a need to change the fundamentals of play. To return to where Doom became legend two decades ago.

I have bad news for the author of this article regarding what year it was two decades ago.

I may be wrong, but I think they meant “can’t argue with your complaint about acrobatics.”

Would Plex be an option here? I don’t use it, but I know it has a photo library feature.

So that’s admittedly not a good look for canonical, but my read of that is that if you’re getting widely-known software from a developer who’s publishing it to snap themselves, and you’re cautious about your usage, snap is fine.

For example, essentially my only use of snap is to install certbot. If I follow the directions from certbot.eff.org precisely, then I’ll get certbot installed and no issues.

I certainly agree that (a) the system is ripe for abuse and (b) should be self-hostable to support Free software. Both of these could be fixed by canonical opening it up.

Why? I’ve heard this for years at this point, but as someone who rarely uses snaps because they’re the only convenient option for software I’m using, I’m generally ambivalent about them.

People seem to hold really strong opinions about snap but I’ve never been able to get a straight answer, just a bunch of hand waving.

I use Mail-in-a-Box on a small VPS. Have been doing so for about 10 years. It takes care of basically everything.

Last year I subscribed to a small-time email provider, anydomain.net, because I got tired of playing whack-a-mole with services blocking my entire subnet due to spammers on the VPS. All told I probably spend ~US$20 per month to host it.

You’re right. I was angry when I posted this, and couldn’t help but read glee in the repeated ways they described generations of people who are on track to simply never be able to save up for a comfortable retirement.

It does feel hopeless, though. I love my job and earn a decent wage, but if I had the money to retire, I’d do it today. I definitely don’t want to work until I drop.

Gotta wonder how many people are down voting because they think the title is moralizing, when it’s anything but that.

There’s nothing like going for a nice long walk around the world of The Witcher 3 and meeting some of the locals there. They say the nicest things. “Sod off, you misborn clod,” a guard will tell me. “Got so fucked up once, blood came out me ears,” a chap at the docks will announce. Or if I’m really lucky, “Go fuck your mums tits!” What a world to live in.

The thing is, I love this about the game. Being scolded by the ruddy-faced inhabitants of The Witcher 3 has long been one of my favourite things, ever since I first played it eight years ago.

This project is so popular that it’s preinstalled on every OS!

Yikes! I’m going to have to do more reading, I guess. My experience with snap is exclusively limited to installing certbot on RHEL.

Could you elaborate on snaps? I’ve used them here and there and people seem to have really strong opinions on snap that I just don’t understand.

That’s not even close to the position I hold, but you do you.

I couldn’t disagree more.

The only form of restriction/censoring of speech that has any bearing whatsoever on this discussion is that which is enacted by the government. Pretending that some other person is somehow “restricting their speech” and “oppressing them socially” (!?) by telling them to shut up or leave is disingenuous at best.

While we’re at it, “canceling” isn’t a thing. It’s a buzzword made up by the right to complain about the fact that they just got shown the door. Aww, boo hoo, did your feelings get hurt when you said your hot take & got told to fuck off? Maybe go reflect on that.

The argument we should be making is this: what you are saying is itself so heinous and dangerous that it is a violation of the social contract. The government is not silencing you, but we will.

Sorry, no. I’m under no obligation to listen to anyone, and I can walk away and/or kick them out of my space for any reason I choose. There’s no theoretical line their speech needs to cross before it’s somehow morally acceptable for me to tell someone to fuck off. I really couldn’t care less if you think I’m an asshole, so long as my conscience is clear.

I will not be “measured” about making a choice I think is the right thing to do, even if you disagree with it.

I dunno. You’d think the same thing about Rage Against the Machine, yet here we are.

If you can catch a good sale, they’re more affordable .I picked up two for about US$45 for their “May the Fourth” one-day sale in 2022.

This is the way to go! Bitwarden’s authenticator is just so smoothly integrated into the login process - Ctrl-Shift-L to login, them Ctrl-V to paste the code.

I use yubikeys wherever they’re available and I use Aegis for the rare TOTP I don’t store in Bitwarden.

Firefox is still out there, and great! You don’t have to be beholden to chrome’s bullshit.
