How does that not destroy a family?

[Insert “that’s the neat part…” meme]

Not only is that outcome completely intended, it also gets used for victim-blaming, to perpetuate the racist notion of the “absent black father.”

I’m surprised more protestors aren’t wearing more PPE, like safety glasses and respirators.

Trump today: “Take the homes first, go through due process second.”

There is no evidence for the second half of that.

“Nationwide” is sanewashing. It’s really expanding specifically to blue states (because its real purpose is punishing the regime’s political enemies).

First of all, LOL, what a clown move by a clown committee.

Second, I don’t give a shit about the Clintons and neither should anybody else. I would have loved for them to be held accountable for contempt, if it weren’t for the fact that the committee itself lacks credibility and deserves it.

Third, I’m just hoping for the silver lining that liberal Democrats learn the hard way what they should’ve done with that power, back when they had the chance to wield it against MAGA fuckwads legitimately.

There’s also Ubuntu (which is even less cool than Mint, i guess, but nevertheless exists).

FWIW, I play a lot of the sort of games where you use the mouse as a cursor to click on UI elements, so I actually like that it isn’t captured and I can still click on other programs’ windows. (For example, looking things up in the game’s wiki while playing something like Oxygen Not Included or Stardew Valley.)

I can see how it’d be super-annoying in a shooter, though. I don’t recall it ever being an issue for me, but I’m not sure if that’s because it “just worked” correctly, or if it’s because I just happened to run my shooter games in “real” full-screen mode instead of borderless window mode without really thinking about it.

Is there a reason why “real” full-screen mode doesn’t work for you?

Been daily-driving Linux for going on a decade, but recently got a “smart [bicycle] trainer” and a Zwift subscription.

Using this the Zwift program runs just fine. However, passing sensor data through Zwift Companion on my Android (GrapheneOS) phone, only some of the sensors connect and others don’t.

(Running Zwift itself on my phone connects to the sensors correctly, so that’s what I’ve been doing so far. I would like to get it set up more completely, though, with a decent-size screen for the main program and freeing up my phone for Zwift Companion, so I do need to troubleshoot it eventually.)

Shut it down. Shut it all the fuck down!

I don’t even want the Democrats to condition it on demands anymore. I just want them to obstruct completely as a matter of principle that fascist government is worse than none at all.

[Microsoft are] just literal thieves.

Always have been.

(But now it’s worse because it’s the entire public, not just their competitors)

What I’m hearing is that the politicians need to be made even more scared of the rest of us.

Australia has electric utes now?

“Obstruction investigation” – yes, the investigation is obstruction.

Reported for sanewashing. I don’t care if the title matches the article; it’s propaganda and we shouldn’t put up with it.

What disgusting cope. Don’t you have any self-respect?

Just because you can work around the abuse doesn’t mean they aren’t abusing you.

Edit: people like the commenter above are actively making the world worse by normalizing and even excusing abusive corporate practices. I apologize for nothing!

If America still had a functioning legal system, yes.

In the new reality of fascist dictatorship, no.

Sure is a good thing Ubuntu doesn’t sometimes sneakily install a Snap when you try to use apt to install a package, such as with Firefox. Tricking users into using Snap without realizing it, making them unknowingly vulnerable to exploits like this, would be really really bad and unethical on Canonical’s part.

How are you gonna get your stroller, walker, or wheelchair from the train station to your actual destination without a sidewalk?

Not that I care at all about Disney games

That’s all well and good, until those monopolist fucks buy up a game you do care about.

The fact remains that the local bike infrastructure is much more valuable to me than a transit system with shitty last-mile connections is. The reason I can’t get to Costco via MARTA, for instance, is that the nearest station dumps you out on a six-lane highway with no bike lane. (The bike infrastructure is decent near my house, but not out in the suburbs where the Costcos are.)

Transit is almost entirely useless unless you can walk or bike from the station to your actual destination. That makes ped/bike infrastructure a prerequisite for transit, not the other way around.
