Stand upright
Lean way over
Bend far at waist
Kiss ass goodbye

As long as 80% of emissions are created by 1,000 or so giant companies, all with their respective governments captured, there's really not much you can (legally) do.

In Full Metal Jacket (1987) the protagonist wears a pin with a peace sign but has "Born to kill" written on his helmet. I think he was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir. in c/shittymoviedetails@lemmy.world

As an IT guy, i feel the opposite. I fixed it in ten minutes because I have ten years of experience. My hourly rate goes up because I spend so little time fixing the problem, if I charged any less, I couldn't earn a living.

The Cheesy Gordita Crunch used to be $0.89. Not 99, EIGHTY-NINE cents. Now it's like $3.79. Used to be my favorite thing on the menu, but there's no way I'm paying that much for it now. I tolerated $0.99, $1.09, even $1.19 but $1.29 is where I said "no". Haven't had one since.

The McDouble was only created because the double cheeseburger used to be $0.99 and they decided that was too cheap. The McDouble is just a double cheeseburger with one slice of cheese instead of two.

Commando, Risk of Rain 2. Canonically, I'm trapped in a simulacrum of Petrichor, a planet inhabited by creatures who regard me as an invader. Even though I can "escape" and make my way back to Earth, every time I die (no matter where or how), I awaken back in my escape pod, crash-landing on Petrichor.

I can pretty consistently get the ending where Commando escapes, so I guess my strat is to escape to Earth and enjoy the simulacrum for as long as I can before dying again. Canonically, this happens at least once, so there's no reason it couldn't be done repeatedly. Perhaps not the most fulfilling existence, but the best that can be achieved under the circumstances, I think.

The alternative is to obliterate myself in a portal or be killed by the denizens of Petrichor and start over again anyway. May as well have a few years of "peace" and "happiness" between spawns.

Ok to dual boot Linux and Windows 10? (piefed.social)

First post here, if this place isn't for tech support, I'll remove it.

I’ve heard dual booting Linux and Windows isn’t a good idea because Windows Update will nuke the Linux boot loader, so I’ve avoided doing that.

For a very long, technical, and complicated reason, I still need Windows because one piece of software that I absolutely MUST have is only compatible with Windows. No, there is no alternative software available for my use case; none, zero, not any, at all. I’ve already tried running it within many different VMs, using many different hypervisors, and I’ve already tried Wine; they aren’t an option, the software isn’t stable in those cases. I don’t want to get in the weeds about it, so please just accept that I NEED some version of Windows installed.

Since Windows 10 doesn’t receive updates anymore, can I dual boot Linux and Windows 10 without worrying about whether Windows Update will break anything?

I intend to keep Windows on one drive and Linux on another. Windows would only be used when I need to run this one specific program, which is maybe five or ten hours per week. The rest of the time, I’d be using Linux.
