Well, we don’t know if the Putin part was a joke or serious. They seemed to be in a joking mood in the emails, so perhaps they were talking about an event that happened, but joking about Putin having the photo, as this was when a lot of people talked about the supposed Trump pee tape IIRC. Definitely sounded like Trump blew someone for real though.

As for who - Mark Epstein’s spokesperson apparently said Bubba refers to a private individual, not a public figure. But tbh it’s an Epstein so not exactly a trustworthy source now is he

The weird command was sudo apt install steam pretty much IIRC

He should’ve read the message, but it also shouldn’t have uninstalled his desktop environment, that should be a very damn safe command to run if we want Linux to be mainstream on the desktop. Sucks that a package dependency error like this managed to make it through QA.

It’s going to be limp, but maybe she’ll figure something out.

I took edibles before flying once. Slept across the Atlantic and then a bit more on the connecting flight.

Add well, whatever floats their goat I guess

I wish my ADHD and other issues would let me work 85 hours a MONTH with my toddler around all day every day. I’d be able to pay myself a very decent salary for the part of my country that I live in right now. If I could consistently work a reasonable 150 a month, I’d have the deep into 5 figures amounts of debt my ex put me into, paid off in 2 years. Worst part is, I used to be able to work over 200 a month easily, but I wore myself out like that and now that I’m an exhausted single parent, it’s so, so hard to get anything done.

Best of luck to you and your kitty. It sucks that you need to work so much to be able to afford necessities.

I’m assuming that’s a pretty high cost of living area compared to Bumfuck, NW though. Sucks for anyone working a low wage job in said HCoL area of course, but this is somewhat of a state issue rather than a federal one, since HCoL states and areas should have higher minimum wage than federal minimum wage. And I mean California is at least doing that already, but I think even Cali needs to double its current minimum wage.

Note: I’m not even American, these are just my ramblings.

…who invented that

Is it a dud? I thought it was making fun of straight men and our insecurities

And Lower Earth Orbit isn’t owned by Amazon

Discovered him recently and really enjoyed some of his videos. Him and Any Austin are my favorite gaming channels recently. And of course one can never forget Kilian Experience

I’d somehow heard the name before, but literally this week did I first see anything he’s done: he played Johnny Silverhand in this video, which was quite fun. Seems like a cool guy.

It’s actually fairly common knowledge, I’ve read those words next to each other several times, both on reddit and here on the fediverse.

This has been going on since before ray tracing.

Also ray tracing is the future for realistic looking games because it’s easier than all those shader hacks. Just needs to get a lot cheaper in terms of fps lost

To be fair, I don’t think he should face any repercussions for blowing Bill.

The other stuff though…

When reflections became a thing in graphics, they were the new hotness. But unfortunately they’re overused because people seem to think that reflections are the best indicator of graphical realism. They’re a factor for sure, but overly reflective isn’t the same as realistic reflections

And in the non-Windows world - this could all be implemented on Linux in such a way that you, the end user choose if you want it at all, which models you want (including both local and online ones), and what gets what access. Plus all kinds of customizability. I’m sure someone is already working on this too.

I wiped my Windows SSD after over half a year of not booting into it at all. I do not miss it, but I do greatly appreciate a larger /home partition spanning an entire 1 TB SSD (for reasons of buying at various times for projects that didn’t need a lot of storage, I have 3 1 TB SSDs lol). Now to figure out how to enlarge the / partition with btrfs.

Unless you have winters. Japanese cars of that era are prone to rust.
