I have a few source built packages that I use every day.

Loading up my system with several development libraries to compile a program is preferable to taking a giant dump on my system in the form of soypacks.

Even without ads, the act of showing videos mid-conversation has never been a smooth interaction IME. Best not to fumble with devices while trying to talk with somebody.

Ew, why would I allow my system to create traffic to Google controlled infrastructure?

A Prius with a Ukraine sticker slapped on the hatchback.

Aren’t we lucky to be living in the age of human history in which governments are good and honest? Not like those old, backwards governments in history books who would dress up their soldiers as the enemy’s and order them to do something heinous.

Nice try, glowboy

Much of it is just functionality by way of ffmpeg, which is also an excellent program.

So, what would you say are the two non immigration issues on the Republican side?

I can’t speak definitively for them, but I could just flip the words around from your 3 Democrats issues:

Abortion rights, gun control

*magic swisharoo noises

• Gun rights
• Abortion control

It sounds like you were on the end of the chain in a game of telephone.

When Fred Trump III asked his uncle Donald Trump for money to help with his disabled son’s medical care, he says the former U.S. president suggested letting the young man die instead.

I could see how politicized media could morph that into “disabled people should just die” for clicks, though.

Using workarounds to attempt to get foreign software running on an operating system for which is was never built is always going to be fraught with problems.

If the game isn’t distributed compiled for your platform, then you are a second class citizen and no amount of API wrappers, translation layers, VMs or whatever will ever address the core issue.

Running a game in Proton (Wine) is not playing on Linux. It is your linux environment contorting itself and doing miraculous back flips in the hope of convincingly coaxing the Windows binary game into thinking that it is running on an actual Windows host.

Soft solution: Purchase games that are properly developed and released targeting your platform natively.

Hard solution: Graduate from playing games and move on with your life. (btw mine improved a lot after putting gaming behind me for good. + I can now use whatever computer hardware and software I damn well please)

Fuck Putin, by the way.

Captain, we’re being scanned!

Fun side note: When I’d remoted into our medical client’s workstations, there were more than a handful of occasions where the recipient on the other end had only just finished frantically closing out Netflix tabs.

Things like this make me hope very much that I my physical health holds out for decades to come.

Why do conservatives believe gay, trans, black, brown, Liberals, and the disabled deserve to die?

It is helpful to at least be able to represent your ideological opponents accurately. (Although I understand it is tempting to deliberately misrepresent them)

You’re three points for republicans informs me that you spend nearly all of your time within an informational bubble.

Nobody has really answered the last part of my question. I’m not asking whether or not this is ethical, I’m asking how can I keep the employees who don’t leave in a state of perception where they think I’m ready to fire and replace them at any moment. I don’t want them to realize their position and leverage it against me.

I’ve been thinking about holding the promise of upping wage by a dollar and to keep pushing out the date as means of helping them realize how easy their work is. I’m not going to allow non-committed hires to devour the value of my business over what amounts to easy work. They know it’s easy work.

I don’t appreciate the sarcasm. Things have become tight. And after some knuckleheads couldn’t handle basic tasks in a basic industry, I have found we are able to operate with just half of the staff I used to pay. The ones who stick around know their worth.

What I’m worried about is that the remainder will also try an leave, knowing that I rely on them more than ever before. So my angle is to obfuscate the fact that I actually need them. How do I make sure they can’t read me on that?

Sports should be segmented out by testosterone levels.

I’ll be the guy that says it: Lemmy already leans pretty hard in normie demographics. It is a trait inherited from Reddit, as many lemmy users are former redditors.

I’d always been amused at the fact that boomer school librarians were primarily the ones responsible for “teaching” students how to “use computers”. It really hammered home the point early on for me that you learn primarily by doing, not by being instructed.

How was the concept first explained to you, or when did it click?

I was too young to have it explained. I was just given access to computers since as far back as I can remember. And internet-connected computers almost just as far.

Do you understand how insane it is to have the aggregate of all human knowledge

I disagree with the notion that all human knowledge is reachable through the internet. I didn’t used to have this perspective until only a few years ago.

Were your parents super strict about internet usage?

I had absolutely no supervision, aside from concern over time spent playing games (which I think they perceived differently from non-game activity, which can be equally as unproductive).

How quickly did you find workarounds?

Usurped de facto control over the family router as a by product of being the only one both willing and able to “help” “administrate” it. It remained that way until the day I moved out.

I think that millennials got to enjoy a once-in-human history opportunity of digital literacy asymmetry between immediately adjacent generations. We had unprecedented freedom.

I’ll interpret that as: proprietary software

Without investigating any further, I can say that I certainly wouldn’t trust it.

I’ve been using youtube-dl and later yt-dlp for years now without issues.
