OH. Ty.

Wait, lead exposure from skydiving?

That’s a pretty extreme interpretation of being given a gift…

You aren’t even OP… Are you OK?

It seems to me it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to shop for someone that refuses any “new” item.

Also, how many nerdy t-shirts did you gift them before the rule was in place? How did your partner react to all of those t-shirts? Did they immediately demand you return them?

It is a harsh reaction to request a gift just be returned.

Winboat is apparently working on and close to “hardware accelerated graphics”. I haven’t tried Photoshop with it, as I never learned Photoshop, but it is one of the flagship programs they claim works well by default. It likely won’t get to the point of being an option for gaming (KAC wouldn’t work anyway as they all flag VMs, so that feels like a moot point) without setting up GPU pass-through, but I can’t imagine those programs need full bare-metal access to a GPU to work well?

Worth keeping an eye on anyway :)

1. Winboat or Winapps - Both will let you use Adobe programs in linux pretty well with a sandboxed vm. Getting better every day. That is assuming you can’t get done what you need on Open Source software alternatives - some are really good, others are a bit of a let down.

2. If you are fully on board with Kernal Anti-Cheat, then you have already given up on actually owning and controlling your PC. That said, there has been talk recently by windows about kicking 3rd parties out of the Kernal, so KAC might actually die soon (we can only pray).

3. I’d be curious to know what you are regularly using regedit and group policies to change. For a start, I bet a lot of it can be changed in the settings GUI or aren’t problems that need changing to start with in Linux. Secondly, I think learning CLI is significantly easier than learning regedit - the navigation at least is a lot simpler imo. Unless you are just running .reg files you find on the floor of the internet, if you learned to use regedit you can definitely learn the Linux CLI (as much as you’ll need to in order to do what you want).

Just saying, it is constantly evolving and most of the road blocks are out-dated or hinge on reliance on some other big tech company besides microsoft that is just as far down the enshittification rabbit-hole. It is not a decision you made once and have to keep living with. None of us swore a life-debt to our “team”. :)

Did they release an unredacted copy? All I can find is they came out and claimed it was Giuffre… Not nearly as strong of a position if so.

Damn it, it’s been too long and I forgot the name of slow fall… I think that means you won the internet today.

But it always happens to be the book a new guest wants to check out…

Hope you’re quick on the levitate, cause we are going to summon you off a cliff.

OMG Lemmy “fixes” double spaces after periods??? (Or maybe it is alexandrite doing that?)

I am horrified. Disgusted. Fuck. Back to Reddit I guess, I’d rather be commodified AI training fodder than barred from double spacing after periods.

Double. Space. After. Periods.

Period.

I don’t think this fits the topic because it is not “doesn’t matter at all” tier. This matters. Hasbro is a massively shitty company and D&D just keeps getting worse (a raging barbarian gets to use strength to hide and to notice things, and gets advantage on the roll in 2024 rules…).

It is very important to the health of the hobby that people start playing, and giving attention to, other game systems.

Oracle makes money. They don’t care how.

Shit I miss Ventrilo… Setting up custom binds so I could talk shit about the raid leader directly to the other warlock in the group just by pressing a different “talk” button was amazing. And I can still here the push-to-talk notification sounds… When the guild moved to Discord, I died a little inside and didn’t even know it yet. Yea, we have a meme channel now, but at what cost??

I always wanted a hollowed out book as a child. So I took a steak knife and a random book I figured was big enough, and started painstakingly carving out the center. I still have it somewhere, it’s kinda cool, but now I really would rather have a bookshelf hidden door, or maybe behind a painting, hiding a secret lair.

This just sounds like your solution is for women to show real nude pictures of themselves so others can differentiate between their real nude body and AI fakes… wtf.

Nobody gives a single salty fuck what chatgpt says.

I see a lot with one end open, other end closed, which I guess makes them a soup or salad?

What if we just banned any company from owning copyright - it can only be held by the original creator of the work, the individual person?
