Well here we are, with all the signs of everything going as badly as possible fully present. Goddamn evil robot sentries guarding the fascist dictator-wannabe’s personal luxury habitat. At least down there, if one of those things malfunctions and hurts somebody it would have to be one of the worst people around.

This is certainly not the future I dreamed of as a child and young man.

Maybe what they are trying to say is that most everyday folks don’t use those terms in any normal conversation. I’ve never used those terms myself and haven’t heard them in any conversation I can recall outside of the Internet.

I think my mom still uses the last CRT TV that I had. Gave it to her when I bought my first 720p HD TV, as the old CRT was better than her old TV. Later on I also gave her that HD TV but she still has the CRT too.

Lots of far more intelligent and reputable officials are also talking about this, but Boebert gets news clicks because haha laugh at the dumb lady.

The report on the Immaculate Constellation government program that was released yesterday is very interesting.

So Teams calls of 1-4 people can send traffic direct peer-to-peer if they’re on the same LAN right?
Do all calls of 5+ users stay centrally hosted on the cloud? These are the kinds of things that MS should document and make easily available for IT and firewall admins. Finding info on Teams ports wasn’t easy in my experience.

One good thing is that the ratio of police to other civilians is quite low. They don’t have the numbers to oppress a large area.

So Illinoisians can purchase their own nazi-repellant machines now

Well couldn’t those prosecutors just go shoot the Fox news reporters calling for them to be killed? They all have gun rights too. They can stand their ground in self defense of death threats.

Fuck off. The majority of black Americans live in the south, and more than half of the northern states voted for trump too.

Nobody is going to change who they are and how they want to live because of Putin’s fat orange bitch.

They were all ancient ladies with curly grandma-fro hairdos at ours

I think people are taking issue with calling this act of normal voting “a TikTok trend” as if TikTok deserves the credit for inspiring the youngsters. It would be better if the news media used platform-agnostic terms with social media to avoid promoting their brands. “Young Americans use social media to organize voters” etc

Recent polls are showing a different side of it apparently

https://thehill.com/homenews/lgbtq/4949915-gop-campaign-ads-trans-rights/

"Just more than 60 percent of surveyed voters, including a majority of independents and 41 percent of Republicans, said it is “sad and shameful” for GOP candidates to make anti-LGBTQ rhetoric a part of their campaigns, according to the poll, which was released Thursday. "

I see cash businesses all the time that can operate without power or Internet. Festival / market vendors, food trucks, etc. It’s not hard to count money, give change, write down a receipt if needed.

That would be no problem, unless your electricity is unreliable and you don’t have a UPS. I rarely use the power button on any of my PCs or Macs, except the one old PC that can’t do S3 sleep anymore (crashes on wake).

Are y’all not using sleep mode? Also the Apple M-cpus are extremely power efficient so leaving it on without sleep mode is a perfectly fine option too.

Just like a Raspberry Pi needs a dongle for a power button, except the Mini has one already.

It’s the one true trump train

Yeah the Max Headroom show covered this topic back in 1987

Randomgal BLASTS the article by pointing out that renzev SLAMMED it with reasoning

Right, the name Marathon should not have been put on a PvP online only game. The real Marathon game series was a major pioneer in the single player FPS genre and this new PvP shit is highly unlikely to be anything like it.

Bungie took a bad wrong turn when they went all-in on online-only games. I bought Destiny 2 before it went F2P and never finished much of it just because it was just too much bullshit to keep up with for me to enjoy the game. I don’t have time to organize raid parties and shit, I just want to hop into the game and have fun.
