Yes seems like another case of Democrats forcefully “helping” black people to make themselves feel better.

dan1101 , 7 months ago to news in A passenger hid bullets in a baby diaper at New York's LaGuardia Airport. TSA officers caught him

The dumb thing is this wasn’t even a gun, just bullets. Bullets are easy and legal to buy so why smuggle them?

Well yeah, hybrid technology works well on most models. Better mileage and sometimes better power with few downsides.

dan1101 , 7 months ago (edited 7 months ago) to world in To build a better world, stop chasing economic growth

The constant need for growth really bothers me. I live in a rural area. People move here because it’s natural and quiet and cost of living is low. Then they complain that there is no Target and no Chik Fila and not enough jobs. The board of supervisors is full of developers. Once they finish building out the county we will be just like every other suburban hell.

And the theory that aliens are humans from the future or a different universe.

dan1101 , 7 months ago to technology in New York sues SiriusXM, accusing company of making it deliberately hard to cancel subscriptions

Yeah they seem desperate to have the subscriber numbers. I get really tired of the song and dance negotiations once a year but it’s not hard to get months for free or worst case $5 per month. I’ve always felt if they would just give everyone the $5 a month deal they would have more subscribers and probably more money.

One thing I miss about the old IBM mainframes is the console keyboard had a little LED “Wait” light. If it was on you weren’t using much CPU. But if you got it to turn off or mostly off you were really working out the system.

HP was indeed affordable and good. They made good laptops and laser printers for many years.

That free giveaway Desolate co-op. It’s like STALKER-lite mixed with Generation Zero.

A neat little early access open world action RPG called The Bloodline.

Starfield a bit, working on getting a Voyager III.

Vampire Survivors when I just want something simple to play.

Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze on Switch.

dan1101 , 7 months ago to asklemmy in Why don't telemarketers give up on unresponsive numbers?

Part of the telemarketing industry is selling crappy lists to new/unwary telemarketers. The sellers don’t and maybe can’t properly curate the lists, and the telemarketers try to make a living through volume of calls.

Christmas gatherings will really get it going.

It might be 23% cooler if it had some fat knobby tires.

Elon Musk is a delusional man-child with a very fragile ego.

Now I really want one.

That’s what I did, followed a recent tutorial and installed Ubisoft Connect in desktop mode. After you’re done you can run it from the Deck as a non-Steam game.
