Not wanting to subsidize the surveillance state is being characterized as being a NIMBY now? These losers are so desperate to build their giant number masturbators. It’s so pathetic.

Thank you for the implementation advice, that was my next question.

I have an old drive I installed Win 10 on a few years ago. It was a fresh build, so it would have been the only drive in the machine when I installed it. The software I need is already installed there and in a working state.

I also have a new machine with a new drive. I installed Mint on the new drive while it was the only drive in the new machine.

My plan is to move the Win 10 drive from the old machine to the new one. In the BIOS, I would set the Linux drive as the default boot option. When I need Windows, I would boot into BIOS and select the Windows drive as a one-time boot option.

Am I on the right track?

Who cares if the program takes ten seconds to run instead of one when it only needs to run once and coding it in Python takes a few hours instead of a day or two in C?

If you need performance that badly, by all means, use C. If you have ten ideas for simple programs and just want to code them real quick without fighting the compiler and worrying about all the little shit that C demands from you, then there’s nothing wrong with using Python.

Everything in life is a tradeoff. Use the right tool for the job.

Stopped reading where it said “I got chat gpt to…”

“Doesn’t make a profit” doesn’t mean “is run inefficiently”. It doesn’t even mean “doesn’t generate excess value”. It just means excess value is reinvested into the system, like the US Post Office. It never makes money, never has made any money, has always either saved or reinvested the money left over on the balance sheet at the end of the year.

This wouldn’t work. Tournament rules may allow multi-language decks, but if a player can’t read the language printed, they also allow that player to call a judge over and ask for the oracle text with no penalty.

Mandatory insurance without proper payouts is just a government-sponsored extortion scheme. It’s paying “protection” to mob goons who will smash up your store anyway because they want more from now on; same energy.

Jansport 20 years ago must be a lot different than Jansport today. My experience with them has been paying $60 for a bag that lasts as long as a $20 one.

Swiss Gear makes bags that last buy holy shit $200 for a backpack is outrageous. I only have one because it was gifted to me.

That’s half of it. The other half is realizing that some of those “shining moments” were actually worthless

Cool meme, but i have to be “that guy” real quick.

When you’re referring to a hard drive you install, the correct term is “disk” (with a k). But if you’re referring to a piece of removable media, such as a CD or DVD, the correct term is “disc” (with a c).

I would expect lots of pushback from corpos on this because it wouldn’t implement tracking dots.

One of. The biggest is the fact that no one even thinks about sugar or caffeine.

He pitched it, it was approved, he started working on it.

Then he received pressure to make it multiplayer (presumably to add microtransactions). He refused, so the game was canceled.

Yes, that Kojima. The same Kojima who never sold you a microtransaction, weapon skin, season pass, or even a paid DLC. The same Kojima who never compromised his artistic vision for a payday, the same Kojima who never bowed to studio pressure to make his game “more accessible” or “more marketable”. The very same Kojima who had to be forcefully removed from his own studio before he’d allow Konami to have a say in his creative process; yes, him. That’s the Kojima you’re referring to.

So you’d rather live in a world without Metal Gear Solid, Zone of the Enders, or Death Stranding?

There’s no way Konami or Sony are going to let that fly. Should Kojima have died on the DRM hill on principal instead releasing his art to the world the way he did?

Ill tell you what he’s NOT going to: anything to improve anyone’s life but his own.

Agreed. To expand on that, I have zero sympathy for anyone who complains about the worldwide rise of fascism while still participating in corporate-owned social media or shopping at Amazon/Temu as anything other than a last resort for essential items.

Like, who do they think is funding all these fascists and where exactly do they think all the money comes from?

It’s not even that sophisticated. A hearing aid works by directly stimulating the small bones in the ear. This is just a pair of earbuds with audio passthrough and a volume knob

Since you didn’t learn from the top comment in your last thread, allow me to repeat it here:

It’s your fault, accept the shame and teach her.

A fridge full of condiments and no food. Why don’t you throw out some of those (probably expired) jars of goop so there’s room for leftovers?

You’re right, I’m getting side tracked; let’s keep the conversation about your daughter. Maybe you should have a talk with who raised her?

Edit: just saw your linked post about the dishwasher. Wow dude. Two years and you’re bitching to the internet instead of raising your children. I hope you’re looking forward to sitting in that nursing home wondering why the kids never call.

So, even more extra steps for even less functionality, got it.
