“The DOJ is pushing radical agenda that goes far beyond the legal issues in this case”

I have a feeling that this is going to become the standard defense against ANYTHING the robber barons don’t like in both the courtroom and the media in coming months and years.

I’ve been a linux user for 25 years.

My computers are all named after Autobots and my wallpaper on each computer is a picture of that computer’s namesake from one of the various continuities.

That’s just how I roll out.

Read this as “Sim City: Apocalypse” and was like… “Well, I’d play that!”

You might consider Linux Mint instead of Ubuntu. A lot of what you want is going to work (and be preinstalled) right out of the box. It’s a great system to start with.

I play Stellaris and Minecraft on Linux Mint… Stellaris runs fine through Steam. Minecraft, just download the Linux launcher, it will do everything else for you.

Depending on the distro, Linux may or may not be able to write to NTFS volumes out of the box.

The proper way to share drives between Windows and Linux is to format them to ExFAT.

North Korea, China and… Oh yeah, the effing United States, come January.

They could actually make this work.

• Have a recruitable Volus biotic warrior who you pick up in a nightclub and has romance dialog options.

• They go hang out in some big room on the ship, like a cargo hold.

• If you choose the romance options, more Volus just start showing up on your ship with no explanation. Like the next time you go in the cargo hold there’s another one, then two more, then you start seeing them in the mess hall, engineering, medbay…

• There’s either dialogue options to ask what’s going on (and kick them off the ship) OR there’s more romance dialog options, but you can’t do both!

• If you keep choosing romance options, they eventually all show up in your room at the same time. It turns out that when Volus take a new partner, their whole extended polycule is allowed to vote on whether or not they approve of the new person being added to your dynamic. There’s a whole scene where you and your new partner have to lobby, bargain and plead for them to include a human. Maybe whether they accept you or not has to do with other choices that you’ve made.

I got your real druid right here…

Winter is coming

Capitalism is the system wherein the least qualified, most self interested party holds all the decision making power.

Points for the correct answer. I work on systems for spacecraft and podman is what we use on those for containerization (better option for a couple reasons)… but we literally just SAY docker to the suits, because that’s what they’ve heard of. Which is why I said docker to this guy.

Docker and Podman are both free. Podman is the lighter weight, more FOSS, also slightly more DIY option, they are intercompatible - I work on systems for spacecraft and Podman is what we use on those because it’s lighter weight. If you want to run something in docker, ChatGPT is actually pretty good at talking you through the specific setup (at least that’s been my experience).

Docker can absolutely run desktop apps.

People HATE the company, for good reason, but it consistently scores top marks for actual privacy implementation.

Why not Docker?

Better name than X.

I also didn’t know he had a youtube channel and I don’t think I’ve looked at a picture of him since the 90s. I had NO idea the dude had literally turned into Elminster.

5 is right out.

If a user doesn’t proactively choose to turn it on, it will be off, and snapshots will not be taken or saved.

“Yes, this is Dave from Windows Microsoft Tech Support. Yes ma’am, I’m sorry, but your computer is sending viruses to our server and this is causing a problem for us. If we do not clean the viruses from your computer, we will need to disconnect you from the internet to protect our server. But do not worry, we can fix this for you. First, I am needing you to go into settings and turn on the Windows Recall. Yes, this will help to protect your computer from the virus. Ok. Good. Hopefully this will fix the problem, but if it continues I will have to call back. Next week, I will call you back and if your computer continues to be sending these viruses, I will connect to it remotely and we will do a deeper scan for the virus. Yes, have a good day ma’am. Thank you for using Windows Microsoft.”
