There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple.
  • While this is technically correct, it still doesn't matter. I have built my own high end PCs in the past and it is a huge waste. I'm not even sold on the steam deck yet - I do all my non- critical stuff like lemmy on this 10 year old shit tablet running Android 7

  • Ursula LeGuin puts the publishers in their place
  • As a kid I just wanted to read weird old shit. LOTR, Douglas Adams, Frank Herbert, Philip K Dick, you can guess where this is going. I still can't let go of my childhood Lovecraft nightmares. I am aware most of that is stupid and racist and misguided. But strip that hateful garbage out, you still have a lot

    Addendum I f'd up and didn't mention my adoration for Ursula K. Leguin

  • Picture this
  • Even better: get homeless; log in from shelter WiFi. Actually from experience, it doesn't matter. You are a consumer. Being homeless doesn't exclude you from the marketplace. I got a free "obamaphone" while in a shelter. That shit is infested with popups.

  • Black man found dead against tree with rope around his neck in NC: 'Not a lynching,' sheriff says
  • That is interesting that it has bespoke legal definitions. The Wikipedia entry is what I expected

    Lynching is an extrajudicial killing by a group. It is most often used to characterize informal public executions by a mob in order to punish an alleged transgressor, punish a convicted transgressor, or intimidate people. It can also be an extreme form of informal group social control, and it is often conducted with the

  • Minneapolis man sentenced to 30 years for murder of transgender woman
  • Bible told police that he shot Williams following a sex act because he felt “suspicious” about her. After a thorough investigation, Moriarty said, her office could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the crime was bias-motivated but added that hate still could have been a factor.

    Wut.

  • so what's your threshold for calling police on random situations in your area that appear strange and potentially violent?

    background: staying in a roadside motel in the US. Man and Woman in the next room are screaming at each other. 1:30 in the morning. Not my problem.

    But I did get voyeuristic and plant my ear on the wall. Most I could comprehend was "your daughter, but what about MY daughter?" from the woman. That's what I thought I heard.

    I was like, if I am certain I can tell that someone is beating on someone, and trying to kill them, or you know just violence is happening, then I'll call 911. but I was far from certain. all i could discern was crying and screaming.

    Hour later, someone is pounding on my door. is it someone in distress? I am in the least accessible and least desirable room in the place. It's probably one of those two neighbors, but which one?

    Anyways, I'm in the US, so I have one or more guns, but I don't keep them loaded or accessible. by the time I had something ready, I think the neighbors were about to pass out. they currently are quiet after hours of screaming.

    So I'm not a fan of cops, but not entirely against them. Situations in which I did call the cops:

    -Neighbors were screaming at each other, 3 a.m.; their 6-year-old girl was out in the street crying.

    -I heard broken glass and looked out the window, and saw a pair of big man's boots going into what I thought was a single woman's apartment.
