I can understand why you’d be concerned about lemmy falling victim to dead internet theory but I can assure you that we are all totally real and definitely not super advanced AI trying to steal your personal data.

Thunder has been my go-to. Not sure I could specify why beyond the fact that it just works

Looks like AMC

Right now there are writer and actor strikes going on. Not just for TV and film but any SAG actor isn’t taking a role. Any unionized writer isn’t taking a job. Right now there’s a tremendous lack of talent to make new stuff so they’re going back and grabbing whatever sold best that they still can rerelease.

80% is my burst capacity unless you’re gonna pay more than 4x my cost of living. 60% is my normal pace these days

Collapse the govt, what could possibly go wrong

President makes 400,000 a year for a min of 4 years (1,600,000) and a max of 8 years (3,200,000) so I’d probably ask for 5,000,000 a year for them to call the shots and an extra 1,000,000 for anything I don’t think will get me reelected.

4 years of 5mil nets me 20mil and 8 nets me 40mil. I stash that away in a moderate dividend spread and I’ll be just fine for the overwhelming majority of my life.

For a lot of open source at the moment the root level readme is fundamentally the homepage too. It absolutely should include screenshots, maybe even a gif. If your software has a GUI or TUI it should follow that a concise visual will do more to explain it’s usage than a text document

As a species we need a mix of progressive and conservative people. Progressives act as a sort of antennae force finding new ways to approach the world while conservatives are there for if we progress in a way that is ultimately harmful. Finding the right balance and control system is the hard part, not fitting everyone into a progressive or conservative ideology

You must not have ever seen a couple of folks making min wage renting a room just to survive. America may not be quite at that disparity level but it is rapidly approaching

In the US it’s usually 2 part time jobs or 1 ft and 1 or or 1 ft and gigs. Regardless the idea isn’t that they make enough with one job and get spending money from the other. It’s basically that you need to make as much as the top 15% of earners in the US to be ok in most areas. So we work as hard as we can to survive

And there are some Americans working similarly because they have rent to pay

Less software and more driverware. My headphones (arctis nova pro wireless) have some really nice customizations available with the sonar software. Nvidia drivers are more customizable but the issue is mostly support for vrr through gsync, dlss, hdr, and Nvidia broadcast. I know AMD is supposedly bounds and leaps ahead of Nvidia but that’s what I have for current hardware because of how useful and ubiquitous the software is.
