Steam is a prime example of this. Not privately run it would have been bloated to extinction years ago.

Shareholders are leechers to quality. Dividends are not enough, the underlying asset must grow no matter what.

When Gabe croaks it Steam is fucked. It will go public.

I keep seeing these " time to move to Linux" threads. For my work I have to use super proprietary software which I know for a fact is Windows only. Not only that it's GPU intensive CPU intensive and niche. I'm sure there's a way to run Windows within Linux but I can only imagine the pain in trying to get proprietary shite to work.

On top of that I need specific CAD software, Photoshop and Illustrator. I don't think any of these daily used programs support Linux.

From the outside, Linux just seems like an absolute ball ache to get working with all of the things I currently do without even thinking about it.

I'd love to do it. Not sure it's going to work. Am I wrong?

I also can make up statistics.

The concept of f droid is great. The UI and UX absolutely suck.

However it is functional, it is free and isn't run by a limitlessly budgeted mega corp.

I watched it with my kids and felt uncomfortable. This sort of video is not the same as elephants toothpaste.

I don't suffer through rober videos so my kids can now worry people want to drop bombs on them at a stadium.

Thanks mark.

The older and shittier the ISP the more blocks of IPV4 addresses they have. They have blocks from when they were given out willy nilly.

New ISPs, the ones that compete and bring the prices down have to buy addresses and that costs money and is a cost bigger and older ISPs do not have.

This is a case for regulation - either mandating a move to V6 or mandating the release of stockpiled v4 addresses. ISPs will not do that on their own, the addresses can currently be sold for lots of money.

Get Sync for Lemmy. Never get rickrolled again!

I use Sync and don't pay anything. It's brilliant and the ads are basically invisible and rare.

Literally was the best Reddit app and it is a fantastic port to Lemmy.

You can choose to pay the dev if you want to. I haven't yet, but likely will if I spend more time here.

When I used to have Reddit on my phone, I'd look at it as soon as I woke up. There was new content constantly throughout the day so I kept coming back.

Lemmy doesn't have the content churn, so I can genuinely just look once a day and spend an hour or so catching up. No FOMO! I much prefer it.

However I do miss some of the niche subreddits that got reasonable activity on Reddit and absolutely zero activity here. They were my favourite part of Reddit.

I'd take more activity in those niche places, but I don't miss the addiction I had.

Spez let me go cold turkey for a while. Thanks (fuck) Spez.

I run some windows-only proprietary software. Realistically what's the performance like with Wine or whatever it is that emulates windows?

I run a lot of GPU accelerated CAD

That's a fair point, other than I do need to work at home on occasion!

I'll have a good think about it.

There has already been a big shift and a brain drain from the Tory party. Literally no one is competent enough for the Foreign Sec job so Dave has to come back.

The purges of Boris et al are adding up to a psychotic shift to the right and pure populism. Your David Gaukes, Rory Stewart's etc. all forced out. Teresa May is a least not a psycho, but that doesn't mean you have to agree with her. You can understand why she acts the way she does.

Nigel is going to make sure the shift to the right is permanent. They will be the Fox News GB edition party.

With the Tories, gone is the time you could say "you know what I completely disagree with what you are saying but I completely understand why you are saying it.".

I think Guy Fawkes had a lot of good ideas.

Could you consider a prusa mk 4? It's set and forget, not as fast as Bambu but no slouch. Support is excellent, open source and parts readily available.

Cameras photograph your number plate and start the clock. You have 24 hours to pay online or on app for the crossing.

You can create an account that auto tops up from your bank and auto charges.

Also, fuck Gordon Brown for selling the fucking bridge it should be free now. We have paid for it.

I thought the issue was they wanted search engines to be able to see the content, but not non paying viewers? Hence slightly shitty paywalls.

They are generally tactical weapons, not strategic.

I watched a couple Of live streams showing a graph for bandwidth as they flew. It tended to spike to around 180 MB a second when whole new areas were loading but during flight it was much much lower at around 10 to 15 MB per second.

Yes, I'd like to see this list with four home school kids lol

It's like going to battle, and in war, the enemy also makes plans!

And to quote Mike, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

The other way to look at it is that

1. I upgraded my prusa for years to every new model released for much less than the cost of a new printer. They provided upgrade kits for sale.

2. I made my own enclosure, works great. Downloaded the parts and followed a guide. Prusa one looks nice though.

3. My PSU had some potential issues 6 years after I bought it and they still sent me a replacement free of charge.

4. The prusa slicer software has filament profiles built in that work perfectly on the printer with no testing. They are adding them constantly. There's something nice about not having to do test etc.

This post reads like a really shit brag. I'm certain your daughter would also be doing great in life if you hadn't harmed her.

You seem proud of causing her physical pain due to her unexpected expression of big emotions. You probably did great raising her on the whole if she is doing great in life, so why you would think that hitting her is the thing you want to highlight to randoms on the internet is weird.

Kids throw tantrums. It's hard on parents when that happens, but those of us with kids (and probably many others too) have total sympathy for the parent in that situation. Some passersby will get annoyed, sure, but they can just turn the corner and not deal with it, so they will get over it.

Getting down to your kids' level and talking through their behaviour and feelings is hard work, but it's better than physically hurting a defenceless child.

Next time you fuck up, perhaps you should be slapped about? Or how about if your behaviour annoys me, perhaps I should slap you. Maybe I should wait until no one else can see though, I wouldn't want to be judged or get into trouble, just like you took her home to hit her!

Internet forums hate kids on the whole, so I don't expect many to agree with my views. But as a parent of some great kids, none who have ever been physically hurt by their parents, I can tell you there is always an alternative to being violent with them.
