Lmao I looked it up, on my delta flight… it was a delta ad: https://thehustle.co/delta-airlines-anti-union-video-games

Worth every penny I’m sure. I was making a reference to the anti-union propaganda that tried to argue union dues were worth trading for a PS5

[–] wavebeam@lemmy.world 22 points 22 hours ago (6 children)

$30 a month! That adds up to a PS5, totally not worth it! /s

Surely the intelligence agencies at work in sane countries are considering assassination operations, right? Isn’t this like the most worthy reason to attempt such a thing, threat of global annihilation?

Once the details of this list are distributed and accessible enough, hopefully some folks are able to start regionalizing the names so we can start posting name/faces of the fuckers who live in our community so everyone knows who around them should be denied any and all services that can legally be withheld. Refuse to serve them in your businesses, shame them whenever they are in public, protest in front of their houses. Make their lives hell, embarrass them out of their homes and communities.

And it’d be challenging to get around the tax upon tax review, no?

The most openly gay. I’d argue that the house and senate are probably filled with closeted gays at a similar rate. Hard to know for sure.

Originally this was a typo I fixed, but I changed it back after I decided that it was still correct: All Cops Are Nazis

I think rebels should start thinking more organizationally. Not everyone needs to be willing to die or kill to create a strong resistance. Sabotage can come in many forms, like stealing or destroying critical supplies; creating confusion or slowing down the enemy can be huge tactical advantages. I think if people really want to civil war this shit, then “get guns” isn’t helpful. Instead we should be suggesting things like “wear masks an obfuscate your identifiable characteristics and move road blocks into the roads leading to/from ICE facilities” and “dismantle or create a blockage for their buildings plumbing or water supplies”.

While all these ICE agents are out doing murders, who is making sure their houses don’t mysteriously burn down?

Shits fucked, and you're right to press us (Americans) on taking action. but that 2/5 figure is not a very true look at our demographics. 1. There's a huge contingent of non-voting americans; Some because they're negligent, but plenty of others are children, disenfranchised through bullshit voting laws, non-citizens who contribute greatly but nevertheless can't vote, or prisoners who have done their time but aren't allowed to vote anymore. 2. Identifying parties from polls has always been suspect. 80% of people still willing to identify as republican in a poll support trump, but surely that self-selection bias is massively skewing those results. Would those farmers in the leopards ate my face community still say they're republican in a poll? probably most, but not all who actually did vote republican.

 

That is all

Hey all!

I currently utilize Debian and used KDE Plasma on my old computer as a Plex server, RetroNAS, and also run protonVPN when i need to use it for downloading files for Plex to server on my network devices. The only problem is, I have to leave a keyboard and mouse plugged in for when i need to use it, but don’t have much space in the corner it stays in.

I happen to work for a touch screen company and have a glut of touch screens laying around my home office and I’ve got a VESA mount in the corner this PC lives in, and one of my spare touch monitors can go there. Unfortunately I’ve had trouble with touch friendliness with Linux distros. I’d love to find one that can support my usage needs with just the touch screen. So an on screen keyboard, and support for scrolling web pages (Wayland?) and other scrollable areas would be stellar.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a distro that would be great at this kind of thing? My PC uses an intel chipset with integrated graphics, if that matters.

 

I currently run windows 10 on my main desktop PC, and also have a steam deck that I sometimes use in desktop mode instead of my desktop. With the way Windows is going, and the way Linux Gaming is dramatically improving, I might consider ditching Windows, at least for the most part, on my next PC build. What would be the best distro to use for gaming, with casual use as well? Any suggestions?

 

Heard about these on the CRT Podcast by RetroTech and ZezRetro. Seems insane, I’m really curious about them.

Edit: changed link, hopefully it works now?

 

I love this video and how it reveals how displays work, it’s really enlightening if you’re interested in understand a bit of why CRTs look great for old games!

 

Love this little guy! Clear picture, very little CRT whine, super adjustable, and excellent scanlines. Just an adorable and beautiful little PVM.

 

My wife got me this silly little plastics phone holder thing because it looks like an old CRT and she thinks it’s silly that I love them so much.

 

I figured folks who are exploring both Kbin and Lemmy might enjoy subbing to both to get a mix of fediverse CRT love!

 

Gotta love a nice macro shot of some scanlines.

 

This 32” beast of a trinitron has been RGB modded and accepts composite, S-video, and of course RGB. Geometry isn’t perfect, but it’s close enough to sit back and enjoy!
