+1 for Keychron. Esp the QMK ones.

So. Many. Choices. Not sure I can pick one.

Make a pit with lava in it. Enjoy the steak.

Seppuku is a task

Just depends on reactions. If no one says anything I just go with it. If 5+ people say something I fix it. If 1-5 people say something they’re probably outliers.

I’m not sure why any of this is surprising. The US was perfectly fine letting China manufacture all the things. That manufacturing know-how leads to design know-how. The desire by US corporations to keep wages low or eliminate US labor entirely to use outsourced manufacturing leads to this.

It isn’t just military hardware: it is products across entire industries. China is producing good ones, and even when they aren’t, they’re producing them at volumes the US could not dream of touching.

Thanks. I wasn’t sure based on the tagging.

I’ve been looking for one forever. It’s my main reason for not using Deadbeef. One exists, but it’s only for Mac, for some reason.

Many modern devices can “float” between 110-220v as well as 50 and 60Hz.

In practice, it means you don’t need older style, larger adapters which actually change the voltage and frequency for you. You can just use the cheaper adapters which only change the plug.

To be sure, just read the little print by the power area on whatever device(s) you’re bringing. The ranges will be listed.

Done it many times.

Do you have some kind of media library plugin for Deadbeef?

Kind of funny that this kicks in the day before an inauguration.

Amazing.

It would be cool if there were one of Victoria with period-appropriate ships.

Yep, I went to Mastodon too.

It’s very upsetting that the way most people know about federated platforms is Meta’s Threads.

Reddit was reddit. I left when I was forced into using their stupid app and watch ads.

I’ve generally enjoyed Lemmy.

Edit: or to and

Linux. I use Pop on my desktop and Arch on my laptop.

BTW, Linux+Proton is great for playing Windows-only games. The time for needing Windows for gaming is mostly past, tbh. You may often find better performance on Linux for many games, too.

The early 2000s.

I was a Genesis kid. Loved the 16 bit era, and also had plenty of 8 bit. Much love all around.

Got into PC gaming in the 1990s. Loved strategy especially, and it’s something you can’t do well on 16 bit.

But the early 2000s were relatively dark. 3d graphics were around and pretty shitty by today’s standards. There was a lot of straight garbage in the gaming market that I don’t want to experience again. There was good stuff, like HL2, but on the whole things were bad.

Nokia of now is not the Nokia of yesteryear. Their new phones are just cheap Android smartphones.

By the numbers: French or Arabic, as other commenters have mentioned.

But it really, really depends on where in the world you want to travel. If you’re interested in Asia, for example, neither French nor Spanish nor Arabic will help you much (save for some remaining French usage in Vietnam).

A better answer is: figure out where you want to go, then do the math on what to learn.

The only honest answer in the whole thread

The US has a problem of representation. Specifically and especially since the Citizens United decision, corporate interests can easily flow money towards politicians to make them do just about anything they want. This exacerbated an existing problem with the corporate tax rate and has now brought it into laughably low territory.

That’s all an oversimplification of course, but it’s not that Americans haven’t “figured it out”. It is far more complicated than that.

Yes, and he still lost handedly. That extra time was all rambles and nonsense. I think in the end it was better.

(Yes, I still would have preferred they muted him, ultimately).
