I don't know, we'll just have to see. But personally, I am not a fan of tying so many functionalities to systemd.
Nah, that would just make me a dick.
At one time I did, and to my surprise, my friend did just that! Unlocked their phone and handed it to me without a word. Welp.
I tried arguing against this, but it's no use. I tried pointing out how something can be branded illegal retroactively, like 20 years down the line, I tried the "give me your credit card info" approach, nothing took. 90% of the time the counter-argument is usually something to the effect of "big companies know everything about me anyway", which is just guessing on their part.
I'm just going to take care of my own privacy, because I'm clearly in the minority (present company excluded, of course). Almost everyone I know disregards online privacy completely, so I'm done trying to get a dialogue going with these people; it's every man for himself. The only way online privacy will become a hot topic among laymen is when something nasty happens and at that point, it will have been too late.
Oh, hell no. Keep Meta the hell away from here.
It's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard, and we're gonna have to work at this every day. But I wanna do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever. You and me. Every day. You piece of shit.
Having spent five years on Linux with an nVidia card on my previous laptop, I can safely say my thrills are exactly nil. Hearing the words "nVidia Optimus" will legit put me in a bad mood.
Are people asking for a Bloodborne remake? I always thought they just wanted a port to systems other than PS4. Which I still think Sony should do.
True for most screw-ups in gaming, yes, but not this time. The studio in question, Paradox Tectonic missed three Early Access deadlines. It sounds like Tectonic bit off more than they could chew. I like bashing execs as much as the next guy, but if you miss three deadlines at any job, you're probably getting the axe.
Well, I don't go around asking questions and then refusing every single answer, I can tell you that much.
Oh shit, that was Sylux from Prime 3's secret ending. I loved the Prime games, I'm pretty hyped about this.
The DOJ accuses Adobe of trapping users in subscriptions.
Yes, I'm sure every developer will jump at the chance to develop something for a dying platform.

News to me. Do you have any articles on this? Searching for "banana right wing" gives me a bunch of articles about Chiquita funding a paramilitary group.
Average, but quiet and peaceful life and it's not even close. Being famous sounds like a massive chore.
Yeah, definitely not kid friendly. I'd much rather give them a light-hearted story about puppies, like The Plague Dogs.
So, really, a win for everybody.

Not to say I hate the genre, I actually love me some Dusk or Turbo Overkill, but why, oh why are they called Boomer Shooters?
These games clearly took inspiration from 90s FPS games, which 👌, but they were played mostly by Gen Xers and Millenials, not Boomers. When games like Duke Nukem 3D or Quake were out, Boomers were what? 30 to 50 years old? I'm sure some of them played FPS games, but there is no way they were the majority.
Whenever I see the term Boomer Shooter, my mind goes to games like Shootout! for Magnavox Odyssey. Can't we call them something else, like Retro FPSes or something?
Anyway, rant over. Thank you for your time.

EDIT: We decided not to pursue further diagnosis, because we wouldn’t know what the hell we’re doing anyway, and decided to start the RMA process instead. It might not even be the reason why the PC won’t turn on, but I’m not comfortable with putting that CPU back into his PC again. Once we get a replacement, we’ll see what happens. If it’s still busted, we’ll just take it to a local shop. Thank you everyone for your for your suggestions and insight, they are very much appreciated.
My friend called me to take a look at his PC that wouldn’t turn on. Upon inspecting his CPU, I noticed a silver bump at the bottom. I’ve never seen this. Can anyone tell me what it is?
Unity executives sold thousands of shares in the weeks leading up to last night's hugely controversial announcement it …

This shit can't be legal. Do we have any lawyers on here?
So, I heard several people now mention HAARP as the cause for all the natural disasters that have been happening lately. And here I thought the cause was rampant pollution and global warming!
But seriously, I'm looking at the HAARP page on wikipedia and it seems to be an array for studying the ionosphere? How in the hell do you go from "we're using this to see what's happening way up there in the sky" to "this causes tornadoes"? Who even started this garbage?
Since our initial announcement, Bandcamp leadership has hired Foley & Lardner LLP, who have begun engaging in union busting by arbitrarily delaying our union election and arguing for the exclusion of 8 workers from our bargaining unit. We know that delays to this process only provide space for addit...
This is an email I came across at work. I seriously can't believe they're trying to justify being stressed. It may not be as caustic as other posts you see on here, but it still kinda pissed me off.
Some superfans are so determined to prove that Elon Musk’s ‘autonomous’ driving technology works that they are willing to put their kids in harm’s way, writes Arwa Mahdawi

Post was not made by me, by the way. I didn't leave (or join) PINE64, it's just the title of the article.
This is hilarious. Blizzard created Diablo Immortal with the express purpose of getting their foot into the Chinese market. Then some genius at Blizzard had the brilliant idea to make a post on Weibou (a social network in China) to make fun of Xi Jinping:
Welp, there goes that Tencent money. Couldn't have happened to a nicer company, too.

For me, they're more trouble than they're worth. For wanting to support your favorite artists, I'm rewarded with unskippable trailers and FBI warnings, and if you want to play Blurays on PC, well... Just take a look at this. Keydb files? BD+ decryption? What happened to just putting the stupid disc in the machine and hitting play?
With pirated movies and shows, I just double-click on a file and away I go. Why would I ever want to go back to Blurays?
There are so many options out there, it's kind of dizzying.
I'm looking for a cheap solution that I could hook up to a TV and ethernet, so it could run a flavor of Linux (or BSD) and play videos at 1080p. Bonus points if it can handle 1080p@60 FPS. Other than that, it would be used for light web browsing.
I was looking at Raspberry Pi 4, but is there anything else you would suggest?
I'm just screwing around with the OS, but I have to say, I'm a bit perplexed.
I wanted to install GIMP and LibreOffice, so I clicked on the AppCenter only to find out it couldn't find either of them. Which is bizzarre, because I can install both using apt just fine. As it turns out, the AppCenter only has 51 curated applications, completely ignoring the abundance of programs already available in the Ubuntu repositories, making the AppCenter a bit useless.
Then there's the desktop. I'm not entirely sure why I'm not allowed to have icons on it. macOS has desktop icons. As does Windows. Hell, almost every OS with a GUI does. Apparently, there's something called Elementary Tweaks which lets you enable them, but why would anyone have to jump through hoops to enable this basic functionality?
I guess I just don't understand who this OS is meant for.
