Cool.

Now can you promise to end the raids on homeless camps?

Yeah this is literally only feasible if each satellite effectively had a reactor scaled for a midsized city on board. Which. Holy FUCK do I not want that constantly spinning overhead.

AI Data centers currently use GIGANTIC levels of power for compute, and since satellites can’t draw from the grid (and solar isn’t THAT effective compared to AI power use) it seems to me the plan is flying nuclear reactors at a thousand miles an hour around the planet.

Which seems bad for everyone.

Indeed, but we are talking about a 70x multiplication in the amount of active satellites which drastically changes the danger profile.

Shoutout to the walls for helping keep a roof over my head …

Shoutout to the sidewalk, for keeping me off the streets.

I've gotten this comment multiple times.

OK. Screw it.

I'm biting the bullet and putting my money where my mouth is. My main rig is Windows 10. All the videos I've made so far have been Adobe-heavy in terms of software usage because I've had a whole professional career in them.

Gonna do a how to.

I was playing SPT for a bit, then PvE came out and I switched back. PvE solved like 99% of the problems I had with the game and keeps it feeling like Tarkov with season changes and wipes and having the Arcade tied in.

Fuck Microsoft and their predatory bullshit slowly rotting digital sectors and worshipping the AI golden calf.
Fuck Apple's ridiculous closed system and their openly anti-consumer practices.

We build the world we want to see. I want to see more folks take control of the machines in their lives.

I need to keep some instance of Windows 10 around because there's a handful of games I play that don't translate to Linux well (Tarkov REALLY hates if you don't have a windows license when it's running) but if folks are interested I might do a follow up with advice for converting for daily driving.

Next episode, I'll do my best not only to create it, but to document HOW I'm creating it, what software I'm using, and what problems I'm having based on how I would normally use the software.

I legitimately think this will help build a better digital landscape and hope you tune in.

There is no winning the “PR war” for trans people. When they start claiming your existence is inherently evil, that everyone who isn’t cis r*pes kids, there is no respectability politicking your way back.

Get a fucking gun if you can safely own one. Keep your community and your family safe.

An image depicting a person in punk attire with a mohawk and a red face covering, wearing a transgender pride patch, being adjusted by an older woman. A flag bearing a white "A" inside a circle is behind the punk-styled person. Text in the image reads "put your hair up, No contact lenses, Cover your tattoos, Cover your face, No phone or pics, Have a plan to escape, Write the National Lawyers Guild MN Hotline Number: 612-444-2654 on your arm, bring your id and some cash, Center and protect your black and brown neighbors". In the lower portion of the image, there is a lunch box, a thermos, and an apple.

The correct answer.

Military Spec Corgi’s are always best.

Enable subpixel rendering, install core fonts as well as a useful professional set, and adjust your DPI.

Windows and Mac do both automatically, Linux needs a bit of tweaking to enable both.

… I might need to write something to handle this automatically …

The more time you spend with the OS the more experience you’ll have when you switch and the longer you wait the more little things will be annoying.

Proton is a Valve adaptation of WINE which is a layer of code meant to facilitate Windows programs running natively inside of Linux.

Dual booting would be an option. Although I’ve heard the EA launcher is getting easier to run on Linux.

Literally just use steam in most cases.

I would start out with what’s on Steam almost all of it is now Linux compatible thanks to containers.

Ubuntu has a wide user base and a lot of little things that make it feel easier to use for beginner folk.

I absolutely adore Linux and if you want to switch your rig over let me know I will help any way I can.

The final gun includes the conversion kit and a front carry handle front sight, although the positioning of it makes carrying it with it genuinely difficult.

The guns are as reliable as the base guns are, which can vary wildly depending on which Draco you use as a base.

The gun takes standard AK magazines.

The parts that are highlighted here are the conversion kit, everything that isn't from this is the original AK. Note this one is shown in 5.56.

Hi there, and welcome to #FridayFucksorSucks, a weekly game with simple rules: guns fuck, or they suck.

This week, we have the Stuff and Things BPK-762, a bullpup conversion for the Draco pistol that manages to maintain it's legal status as a pistol by purposefully misshaping the trigger cover.
