I always go grab the latest video game from my library. I don’t pay for em. You get them for 3 weeks at a time and can borrow them as much as you want. This is how I managed to play the entire PS4 library pretty much.
It seems to me that almost all native English speakers got principal and principle backwards. I’m actually surprised when I see them used correctly (which is not the case here).
As a child in the US I was taught “The Principal is you ‘pal’.” which is not true but helpful when spelling it. Like “dessert” has more ‘s’ than “desert” because it’s something you want more of.
Finally managed to get my uncle over. He’s not very worldly (depressed, probably autistic - just like his father) and is struggle with his first lady friend. I don’t think he really needed advice (he seems to have a good grip on the situation) but wanted to talk to someone about it. I think it helped. And I got a feed, plus some free Greek yoghurt. Bonus.
They also were allied with groups of confederate rednecks with the understanding “we have incredibly different worldviews, but we’re both poor and it’s because of the rich folks in power”
The three-letter-agencies could not allow that kind of class consciousness so they assassinated Fred Hampton.
Tax applies to income. I don’t think that would solve the issue for billionaires with no income. We need to just take their excess money away, in addition to 100% taxes on their income above a certain level
Most rich people are rich because their parents were rich. You can do a death tax, but that doesn’t solve the problem because they’ll continue to unfairly hoard that wealth for the rest of their life
Indeed, most of the billionaires were born with a silver spoon up their ass. But their parents were only millionaires, there’s no way that their offspring accumulated billions without income.
3 billion dollars is three thousand million dollars. That’s enough to hoard for generations without being taxed.
Or that money could be taken and used to end homelessness and provide services to pull families out of intergenerational poverty caused by the crimes committed by billionaire families
One of my main tools has been SteamDB’s instant search - it’s basically a giant list of all steam games, sorted by review score, with a TON of different filters you can apply. Looking specifically for something released this year? You can filter for it. Looking specifically for a co-op action shooter, or a singleplayer 2d platformer? You can filter for those too. Wanting to exclude early access games or exclude games with a min/max number of reviews? You can do that too. Very handy tool
Who cares? I exclude genres I don’t like too. Play the games you like. I’m sure those poor indie games will do just fine despite a guy on Lemmy saying he excludes them.
Statistically speaking most people can find new games in their library they bought and never touched for years. It’s a genius marketing strategy on steam’s part.
Back from a “holiday” to the Highlands. Lots of driving around between nice wee towns and incredible landscapes. But the real win is that I have just dossed around the house all weekend, and the car hasn’t moved since Friday. Of course, there’s next to no food on the house, but I feel chill af.
Cloudflare will be a lot more effective in case of attack. But I don’t think most people need more than a few mitigation rules. If DDOS really come, there are very few things you could do to mitigate anyway.
Whenever I switch between keyboards with different slopes (is that the right word? Like whether they sit flat on the desk or are angled due to their flip out feet or just the board chassis itself) or keycap profiles, and to a lesser extent the switches themselves, It takes a bit of an adjustment period before I’m not keying typos and stuff.
I’m weird and don’t use Bluetooth for any of my primary inputs or audio outputs, so I can’t speak directly to there being an inherent Bluetooth issue like that, but I really doubt it. The massive proliferation of Bluetooth “gaming” mice and keebs wouldn’t have happened if there was such an issue. I just don’t use them bc adhd and keeping peripherals charged is a losing proposition out the gate.
Also, did you type this post on that keeb, or did you just proofread it a ton of times.
10/10 they def have different slopes. The bluetooth one is flat as hey and the other one was tiered. Could def be that. I do use the other one, but not in this scenario and not as often so that could be it.
You're not weird, you're smart =P! You don't like fuss. I did wanna make a bluetooth speaker to jam out with around the house. But I think I am going to put that on hold for now and give this keyboard situation a think. I like to give my purchases a good think. Which was why I was surprised when the last guy pooped out.
I did type this one on that keyb. And it seems to be okay most times. But like I said, I do know that from time to time I can really hit a solid dyslexic spot. But typically I am pretty okay, and I know a couple of people who "fixed" (maybe not cured) their dyslexia issues with frequent reading. And I myself think I fixed mine pretty well doing the same. Idk if my brain is weird (okay, wait that was stupid statement, my brain is weird) but like...uhhhh. Shit. Brain fog, I stayed up too late last night. I see everything I think. I say everything I communicate even in text (like texting a buddy or here). And I think that also helps with me being able to decode things a bit. So then maybe I make less typos on the whole. But I can type pretty fast. Idk how fast, but I would say maybe somewhere between 70-90 wpm. But I can't remember and I don't feel like doing the test. So if I am typing faster than the signal typically sends (or there's some weird latency) maybe then the words come out soupy.
And I know folks make mistakes, cause we're human and I am hot mess. But there's just something weird goign on <<< and it happened right there =P!
Either way thank you and tell me what audio you're using if you don't mind. I used to always rock a mini-boombox in my kitchen and it made being in there such a comfy experience and I have been thinking about how to recreate that so that I can just hop in, press a button and jam out. So if anything comes to mind, feel free to share and I'll give it a look for sure.
Audio? Weird again. For my PC I have a Scarlett 2i2 that I plug my ATH-50 headphones in to, and the line out on the 2i2 runs to a super SUPER old pioneer amp that’s connected to some equally old Technics box speakers, which don’t sound great but get loud. That all connects to my PC and laptop through the KVM. I have an Apple TV that’s connected to a Denon AVR, which has two Focal Choras connected to it. When the laptop is connected I can play music out both sets of amplified speakers together, without Bluetooth or anything, using the Apple Home home play thing. I live in a relatively small house, so that covers most of it. I think I might add in a HomePod so I can have a speaker in the kitchen while cooking, and outside in the backyard when chilling by the firepit and stuff. I’m really hesitating to do it though just bc I’m not sold on the wireless stuff, but the HomePod uses WiFi not Bluetooth so it’s not as bad I guess.
Hey, thanks! I wish I was so cool as to have a solid sound system. I move so damn much, I figured if it's not something that I can fit in a relatively reasonable space it's probably something I'll ultimately have to give away. I was looking around for stuff, and that's how I landed on a bluetooth speaker. Because I am not in the mood to gather cds, an external drive, or anything. Although really if I had it my way I'd load up my flash drive and just plug it into something. I thought maybe building my own bluetooth would keep the volume at a reasonable level, give me a fun project to do, as well as give me a reason to keep lugging the thing with me =P!
I hadn't heard of wifi speakers, so I didn't know they existed but you've got me interested and I am going to have a look. I gave up on headphones because unless terribly long my hair just expands outwards to the heavens and the two don't mix. Two other things, by the by, that I thought about were a micro-set of (powered) bookshelf speakers. But it seemed to intense for a kitchen area. Or taking an old phone, some kinda 2.0 computer speakers, and forming a body out of wood or something to make a "boom-box." But phones are so endlessly creepy that idk. But I do like the recycling aspect, and tbh would still be using the babe today if they hadn't shut down 3G permanently @_!!!
You've given me some things to think of though, and thank you for your help!
I'm super in love with the idea, I wonder if there's some kinda diy setup you could do. Just kinda like how people make streaming servers for their home. I just didn't even think about it. So it was a lovely idea. Big thanks for all the talk =)
